[item value="10"]Alex Di Stefano - Quantum Mirage [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Outburst veteran Alex Di Stefano showcases his signature mastery in "Quantum Mirage," a dynamic fusion of sharp techno beats and nostalgic 90s rave elements that culminates in an electrifying techno-trance hybrid. This track is meticulously crafted with a driving tempo of 150 BPM, anchoring it firmly in the high-energy realm of tech trance. The production of "Quantum Mirage" is a testament to Alex's technical prowess. The track opens with a pulsating bassline, layered with intricate percussive textures that establish an immediate sense of urgency. Synthesized arpeggios weave through the mix, gradually building tension with expertly applied modulation and filter sweeps. The central anthemic synth hook carries an unmistakable rave influence, characterized by its bright, resonant timbre and euphoric chord progressions. Alex employs a precise arrangement structure, with seamless transitions that maintain momentum without feeling abrupt. The mid-track breakdown offers a brief yet impactful respite, stripping back to atmospheric pads and reverb-soaked vocal chops that create a spacious contrast before plunging back into the relentless, head-banging climax. The use of sidechain compression and dynamic EQ techniques ensures each element occupies its sonic space, resulting in a clean yet powerful mix. The mastering process enhances the track’s aggressive edge, with punchy low-end frequencies balanced against crisp highs, delivering an immersive auditory experience both in headphones and on large sound systems. "Quantum Mirage" is not just a track; it's a meticulously engineered journey designed to dominate dance floors and festival stages alike this summer. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

It’s crept up on three years since we last received a mix-comp transmission from Planet Outburst and the science of hard has been left just a touch wanting ever since. However, as April beckons, that drought breaks, and Mark Sherry pours three new mixes through the ‘Prism’.

For ‘Vol.4’s, well, DJ-wise it’s a case of the established, the new … and the returning. The Outburst boss has brought Ireland’s Renegade System in to helm one of its discs, while after Vol.1, arch techno-logist Alex Di Stefano is back, making a second guest-mixing appearance in the series. Collectively the trio bring a mass of toughened sonics to its fore, with the release pushing upwards of seventy tracks over its near-four-hour runtime.

In and amongst all that highly charged wealth, well … it might just be a case of ‘you name it … they’ve got it!’

Specifically though, you’re going to be hearing cuts and remixes from the likes of Sneijder & Bryan Kearney, Will Atkinson, The Space Brothers, Jordan Suckley & Kutski, Marco V, Scot Project, David Forbes, Yves Deruyter, Thomas Schumacher, Shugz, Lab 4 and dozens upon dozens of others! Needless to say, there’s also an indecent amount of new material from the three helmers, with exclusives, premieres and first-listens in abundance.

Kaleidoscopic, psychotropic … and a never less than kinetic, Outbursters Mark, Alex and Renegade System take you back through the Prism on March 31 HERE.

For his disc, Mark mixes together an incredible 24 tracks. What’s more astonishing still is he’s had a production hand in 15 of them! Following his boosted remix of The Space Brothers 2003 classic ‘Doors’, come Mark’s recent collaborations with Sygma, Steve Dekay and Alex Di Stefano. Sherry then jumps the tracks to new remix fare, as ‘Triquetra’ and ‘Total Eclipse’ get themselves reworked by Peetu S and Freak Unique. Mark’s revision of Marco V’s GODD isn’t far behind, as is Gentech (Sherry & Scot Project), who deliver some ‘Tricky Tricky’ business. Sherry also reteams with David Forbes for ‘Galvanizers’ and the mix reaches boiling point with Mark’s ‘The Release’.

Flying the flag for tech over his 80 minutes, Alex Di Stefano is back in the ‘Prism’. Swift to the Italian’s laser are Yves Deruyter’s ‘Clone War’ ‘Jibaro’ by Thomas Schumacher, Dyno’s ‘Koterg’ and ALUTO’s mix of Patrick Branch’s ‘Black Marsh’. From Di Stefano’s own studio, the news is equally fine, with ‘Chemistry’, ‘The Hybrid’, ‘Black Flag’, ‘Injection’ and ‘Creepy Christmas’ all arriving ahead of its halfway point. Rolling into its second half and still picking up pace, Alex gets his remix-on, reworking Chapter & Page’s ‘Revelation’ and ‘Seventh Heaven’ from Will Atkinson. From there, the net is spread wider still, with of Frankyeffe’s ‘Trust Me’, ‘Manifest’ from DJ Jordan, Carl Shorts’ ‘Like That’ and SveTec’s ‘Higher’ all raising the mercury.

Last, but by no means least is Renegade System, who’s taking on in his first major mixcomp role. Thomas Crossley’s output over the last four years has made him both one of the scene’s most visible and fastest rising stars. He qualifies that in no uncertain terms, bringing a mass of his of own material to ‘Prism 4’. Among them are the x Marty Cassidy collab, ‘Buck Wine’, as well as solo strikes like ‘Feelin’ In Demand’, ‘If You Want’, ‘On A High’ and ‘Savage’. Around that personal powder keg, he packs in floor-roaring gear like Shugz’s ‘XTC’, ‘Candyman 2023’ from Lab 4, Tasso’s ‘Alocin’ and his remix of Steve Hill & Technikal’s ‘Don't Hesitate’.

A cannonball run of bass, beats and sonic ballistics, Mark Sherry, Alex Di Stefano & Renegade System’s ‘Outburst Records presents Prism Volume 4’ takes you to the edge on March 31. You can pre-order/save it here, from today.

[item value="10"] Will Atkinson - Seventh Heaven (Alex Di Stefano Remix) [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]VII continues to unleash some nuclear club anthems and the brand new one is the stunning Alex Di Stefano Remix remix on Will Atkinson's seminal Seventh Heaven. It's full on turbo charged trancer with his usual tribal techy groove, pulsating basslines and incredible long breakdown that allow the main synthy melodies to spread all over the place along with the magnificent old school vocal sample. The climax is trance at its very best hands in the air and so amazingly feel good recalling the good golden days of trance. Alex is one of the most consistent producers and so far everything that is released under his name is highest caliber trance that you can think of guarantee to take you on board for a journey that is melodic, euphoric but still with dark undertones to keep firmly underground. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
