1-Here Tonight(Acoustic mix)

A shattered glass left a broken heart
a thousand miles and nowhere to start
but I won't let this pain deceive us, and hide this feeling
I can't break this love between us, we'll survive through healing

I won't waste, this, love, here tonight
and I'll embrace, this, love, here tonight, here tonight and if I break, my, bones, in the fight
feel the love inside us here tonight, here tonight, here tonight

Dimitri Kechagias review: Here Tonight by Dash Berlin & Jay Cosmic is 100% anthem that was played on radio, clubs and festivals. One of the strongest element in its big success is the Colin McLoughlin vocals that are absolutely magical and deeply inspirational as well. The acoustic mix is the dreamy relaxing version that calms the senses and minus the heavy beats and euphoric synths allow us to focus on the human voice that will cast a spell on you without doubts. Great strings, cinematic arrangement that elevates the whole track to the next level and I can easily imagine this version being included in a film soundtrack or tv series. #PureGold Love IT

Cranking up the BPMs straight to 145, D-Block & S-te-Fan created a monster of a tune that will certainly bring Dash Berlin’s classic to heaps of new listeners. 

Perfect for festivals all over the globe, there can be no doubt that this remix of ‘Here Tonight’ will serve headlining DJs well, everywhere bass music dominates the scenery.










Dimitri Kechagias review: Dash Berlin definitely has one of his best years so far with extremely well reception from global audiences from the first tracks revealed from his new album. The first single that manage to capture the interest is the magical Here Tonight  with Jay Cosmic featuring the excellent vocals by  Collin McLoughlin. The track is super catchy and is one of those tunes that deserve to get mainstream recognition as well as it contains strong melody and great dynamic vocals. The second part of the remixes includes the Blinders remix and the D-Block & S-te-Fan Remix that we have in our hands and must say that we are super impressed on the way that the track is turned into a rough hardstyle track with heavy bouncy kick, pumping punchy rough bassline and great application of the vocal with support from the euphoric synthy stabs that remain unforgettable once you hear them. The great thing about this remix is that the vocals stay untouched and they are not speed them up or speed them down. Heavy, basswoofer friendly anthem that will get many plays on Amsterdam Music Festival that Dash Berlin will perform amongst Armin van Buuren & David Guetta. #PureBassPower Love iT

With Dash Berlin's 'We Are' fast approaching on the horizon, the intensity and hype just keeps building and building. Each new single brings with it the promise of an outstanding and memorable record, and this remix package brings two heavy-hitters with it. Carita La Niña is one of the most promising Dutch talents, and she's rocked not only major releases on big labels, but clubs all around the globe. Her big-room interpretation is all about punch and heavy drive. Lush & Simon also belong in the 'elite' category, consistently rising up with top-level tunes. Their remix is the perfect closing song for a festival!

Dimitri Kechagias review:  Dash Berlin is considered one of the biggest Electronic Dance Music icons with fantastic unforgettable classics under his belt, collaborations with the biggest singers, sold out gigs all over the world and huge following in his social media. Dash Berlin is an artist that inspires young people to love great quality music even more and many of them have him as role model as well. His album We Are is definitely one of the most anticipated albums of the year that marks Dash Berlin's decision to change slightly his direction and from strictly trance oriented material to produce an album that targets the mainstage sets of the festivals and sound great on radio stations as well. The first single to surface from his album is his collaboration with Jay Cosmic featuring the magnificent singer Jay Cosmic called Here Tonight. The original album mix is already catapulting the various charts including Armada Music Stream Top 40. Now we are treated first class with the magnificent remix package that extends the pleasure even more and will become easily part of your dj sets. First the beloved Italian duo Lush & Simon deliver their straight forward epic progressive house sound to table and transform the original into an emotional euphoric uplifting progressive house smasher of the highest quality and variety. Feel good progression chords, happy smiling uplifting synths and energy that vibrates all over the place and wake your senses. The performance of the inspirational lyrics is simply thrilling and Collin gives you shivers with his masculine indie rock sexy voice. Perfect to jump and sing a long with hands in the air without doubts. Second top remix comes from the beloved dj & producer Carita La Nina who continues to grow her worldwide fame and service an exceptional remix for her good friend Dash Berlin. She adopts the harder is better approach with heavy slamming rough kicks, pumping bouncy hard style basslines and aggressive sharp synth stabs. The breakdown is truly emotional with orchestral music theme that elevates even higher Collin's performance followed by euphoric uplifting synths and rock guitar style synths that absolutely explode out of proportion and give you goosebumps and waves of happiness all over your body.Her drop is funtastic with irresistible groove that lock you in and fearsome basslines that attack the dancefloors without mercy. Sometimes ladies can be much more brutal than gentlemen and I guess for that  reason men love them. The perfect remix package that is better not to be missed! #PureGold Love iT



Dash Berlin - We Are (Part 1) is NOW available as pre-order on iTunes.

The anticipation factor has been tremendous... The hype and buzz around Dash Berlin's latest (and some say most impressive) studio album was undeniable. Dash was quoted as saying: "at the end of the day, it's going to be your soundtrack, to your life, so let's do this together". And so 'We Are' was born — out of a love for the fans that helped build the current #10 DJ in the world into what he is today.

Ever since 'Till the Sky Falls Down' first changed the world (and helped define the special sound of Dash Berlin), fans have been hungering for the next expression of musical delight to spring forth from one of the world's most celebrated entertainers. In witnessing Dash's promotion leading up to the release, there was an unmistakable spark present in his communication with his fans. Despite being limited by the 140 character medium, it is obvious that Dash Berlin has been brimming with pride with each and every teaser — clearly this is much more than a project to the artist. And it shows. Finding a breakaway track in the album is almost impossible. These eight tracks could all be considered potential anthems, and each one would be right at home on the radio.

3LAU, John Dahlback, Rigby, Roxanne Emery, Jay Cosmic, BullySongs, Adam Jensen, Disfunktion, Chris Arnott, Bright Lights, Syzz and Collin McLoughlin all came to the aid of 'We Are', helping to build the classics that will undeniably shape Dash Berlin's career for many years to come.

1-Alive (Original mix)

Space Rockerz teamed up with Clybourne to deliver an emotion-filled progressive stormer that’s equally suited to radio and peak-hour club sets.  

Uplifting and with a touch of remorse, ‘Alive’ is a small taste of what these talented artists are capable of.










Dimitri Kechagias review: Dash Berlin's stand out record label Aropa Music presents another peak time mainstage banger that will make many heads to turn at the speakers and notice it for sure. Space Rockerz from USA combine their forces with Clybourne for the male vocal big room trancer Alive. It is true that the track will surprise many as they will can not make their minds if they can categorise it as trance or progressive. As always the truth is in the middle and in our case this track is free floating and includes influences from big room trance and festival house as well. It starts with techy chunky groove and heavy aggressive electrified bassline. Very soon the maddening build up comes in to raise the tension and drive the crowd out of their heads. The breakdown reveals the indie rock sounding male vocal along with balearic guitar riffs that sounds quite distanced and space rocking as well that makes an interesting change. Another rough build up follows  to lead the track to its main section with dark brooding basslines and hard groove along with side chain effects and swirling synths until to land on the longer breakdown. The melodramatic vocal comes in again with certain message to send to the listeners with orchestral theme backing up and enhance its emotional impact. Massive synthy stabs appear within dubstep infused section to build the tension as the singer celebrates that he is Alive and Kicking to the maximum. The aggressive build up with huge drum roll is present once again followed by the massive hands in the air euphoric sequence along with the very emotional vocal verses "I'm Alive and I Need You Here!". If you search for the ultimate mainstage weapon don't look any further than this exceptional powerful memorable beauty! #PureGold Love iT

1. Earth Meets Water (Promise Land Remix)
2. Earth Meets Water (Toby Green Remix)

Dash Berlin and Rigby have been lighting up the global stage, with ‘Earth Meets Water’ performing well in the Beatport charts and gaining the support of Armin, W&W, Swanky Tunes, and many more!

Building upon this success, Promise Land and Toby Green take the song in two very new directions.  

Toby Green brings out a progressive vibe, building around catchy melodic themes. 

Promise Land chose a different path, injecting fire into Rigby’s vocals and infusing the tune with big electro energy.  





Dimitri Kechagias review: The collaboration between the Dutch super star Dash Berlin with Rigby from Netherlands for the awesome vocal trance anthem Earth Meets Water is considered to be one of hottest records for 2014 that manage to cross over from progressive trance to mainstage festival house dj sets. Dash Berlin on his label Aropa Music part of Armada presents the long awaited remixes. First of all the very well known Promise Land from Italy transform the original into a heavy hard house style composition with super rough basslines, pumping techy grooves and awesome long breakdown with beautiful melancholic piano melodies and the full vocal followed by aggressive build up. The drop is absolutely earth shaking and very banging indeed with sharp basslines, synthy stabs, vocal chops and acid overtones as well. Toby Green from Denmark is on board and he service the festival house version that will catapult the mainstage dancefloors with maddening basslines,booming beats, heavy drums, swirling synths and melody that follows the USA EDM style of melodies. The drop is powerful, dynamic and energetic to the maximum. Very fierce and without compromise both remixes have a clear and clean goal in their minds to turn the world into a massive dancefloor and their remixes will do exactly that! Both mixes are very short nearly 4 minutes and I guess we have to say goodbye to nice and long extended versions as it becomes a trend for short extended versions. #PureGold Mainstage Anthem, Love IT

1-Original mix
2-Radio edit

You And I’ is a heart-wrenching tune made whole by an inspired vocal from rising electro-pop singer Kelly Sweet.  

Punk Party pulled out all the stops for this one, going for maximum impact and significance.  

The bittersweet and melancholic tone of the lyrical content stands in perfect contrast to the uplifting drop, creating an amazing roller-coaster of feeling.






Dimitri Kechagias review: Aropa Music is the top trance record label headed by Dash Berlin well known for his high class releases and exceptional dj sets with one of his latest at the ASOT650 party in Utrecht that will be remembered for long. The brand new Aropa release that targets the number 1 spot at the beatport trance chart  is the fantastic Punk Party composition along with the stunning singer Kelly Sweet called You and I. It contains one of the strongest vocals that I have heard  so far in 2014. First of all is a full song and not just a top line. The lyrics are inspiring and relevant to anyone that has passed in his relationship hard times with his/her loved one. Its easy to identify and feel part of the story that Kelly Sweet sings about in a such heartbreaking and sensitive way. Her voice is dynamic and her words crawl easily under your skin and talk straight to your heart. The track itself is a powerful energetic big room progressive trancer with tough drums, edgy aggressive basslines and massive euphoric synthy leads combined with electro infused riffs that will blow the speakers and drive the clubbers crazy. Of course the vocal is so strong and memorable that becomes the focus point of it so while you are dancing in the massive climax your mind stays on those lyrics as its resonance with personal situations is very emphatic! Absolutely stunning production that deserves to reach even wider audience with additional remixes. #PureGold Love IT

1. Just Another Day (Original Mix)
2. Fair Isle (Original Mix)

Through a selection of stunning releases, Indonesian producer Louis Tan (better known as LTN) has demonstrated a remarkable amount of class and sophistication in his productions.  

This EP shows him doing two things:  keeping the genuine emotion that brought him to the attention of so many heavy-hitting record labels, and branching out into slightly more main stage drops.

We never doubted that the man could do it, but the ‘Just Another Day / Fair Isle’ EP proves that every person who had faith in LTN was completely justified in their respect and admiration for his talents.

                                                                
                                                           
                                               
Dimitri Kechagias review: Aropa is the top record label of Dash Berlin that besides his own exceptional tracks releases fantastic EP's from many young talents that the superstar dj owner seems to have big faith on their abilities. LTN is a wonderful artist that manage through the years to win the admiration of many djs worldwide and even to establish the brand name of his own sound. Emotional balearic melodic heartfelt trance productions is what you can expect to get from him. On this particular release LTN makes his step into the mainstage world and toughens up the proceedings in order to deliver peak time power smashers with emotional touches. Just Another Day is the mesmerising colourful blissful trance sound we get on LTN tracks with harder throbbing basslines, chunky techy kicks and distorted euphoric synthy lead that carry the track to its beautiful breakdown. Perfect moment to feel the warmth and tenderness of the classical orchestral piano melody just before the huge rough synthy leads that are coming to the open to burn you like lazer x-rays. The climax is full on packed with epic strings, uplifting synths and superb overall sounddesign that travel your senses and make you feel like the hero of the night. Fair Isle is a magnificent classic LTN sounding track for prime time sets. Cinematic spacey atmosphere with wide variety of luscious melodies that will easily crawl under your thin skin and find their goal easily that is your heart of course. Tribal like beats, electro kissed basslines and sweet melodic dreamy layers combined with the melancholic piano chords.  The breakdown is long and atmospheric with exceptional ambience, the sad piano theme, plucky themes and the main synthy lead that will drive the track towards the full on euphoric and very satisfying climax. Luis  EP on Aropa is definitely a highlight in his CV and will become one of your highlights as well.  #PureGold Love iT

2.Disarm Yourself (Protoculture Remix)

This summer, Dash Berlin had the beating hearts of EDM lovers racing once again. Announcing the official #musicislife #deluxe album, including 2 sparkling new originals and 7 remixes, fans eagerly awaited this new spark of their favourite album. And here it is. As a second introduction to its enrapturing remixes, here’s the remix magic of Jorn van Deynhoven and Protoculture in sampler 002!

‘Disarm Yourself’, the official follow-up to the award-winning ‘Waiting’, never loses its charm. If not for Emma Hewitt’s enchanting vocals, then it’s the warm melody that takes over. For the #deluxe album of #musicislife, Dash Berlin invited the undeniable talent of Protoculture for remix duties. And so, he delivers. A smooth, warm-flowing prog interpretation is now moving across the globe. 

Another jewel, part of the #deluxe album, is the Jorn van Deynhoven remix of Jonathan Mendelsohn collab ‘World Falls Apart’. This one never loses its charm, especially not when given the van Deynhoven treatment, giving it a big-room stir like never before.

Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the hottest trance producers and dj is of course Dash Berlin who tours around the globe non stop and he manage to produce unforgettable trance classics that return with brand new remixes on his Deluxe edition of his very successful album  #Musicislife. The 2nd sampler including fresh material from the Deluxe edition includes 2 must have remixes by the one and only Dutch mega trance force Jorn van Deyhoven and the beloved South African producer Protoculture. First of all Jorn van Deynhoven that his name signals in the scene uplifting trance at its very best remixes the top notch World Falls Apart. He keeps from the mesmerising vocals of Jonathan Mendelsohn the chorus and he service a very strong rough, raw, sharp, punchy and in your face version. Very hard remix indeed that targets the peak time moment of your set. Tight, solid and absolutely emotional as well its the kind of tracks that make you fall in love with trance and run on the dancefloor to dance along. The 2nd great remix comes from Protoculture who as you guess delivers the goods once again as he provides a classic Protoculture style version with top notch percussion and rolling drums, driving energetic basslines and many thick juicy and fruity layers of melodic goodness. Of course the super strong epic strings from the original create that beautiful cinematic atmosphere that may sound melancholic as well. The main focus point of the track is Emma Hewitt who delivers her poetic lyrics in her very own and very inspiring way. She is incredible and her performance is first class. Excellent remixes to respray the originals in the finest possible fashion. Love IT

For the lucky jocks outthere Aropa/Armada Music service an excellent 3 tracks sampler. First of all is the awesome remix by Andrew Rayel on Go It Alone featuring the one and only and so beloved singer Sarah Howells.

Andrew is such a strong producer right now and his version is full on big room festival size trancer with great attention offered in the cinematic atmospheric breakdown and the intense build up that leads us nicely in the breathetaking climax. Sarah vocals shine on the top and mesmerize you without to try too much.

Instrumental beauty that Toby's talent raise to the highest level. Finally  Arctic Moon from Poland recreates in his own unique way  Surrender  feat. Shanokee. Feel good uplifting euphoric trancer that follows the classic pure trance sound that is banging, booming, melodic and can glue together many people and give them adrenaline and deep emotional injections at the very same moment. Arctic Moon doesnt afraid 138 BPM and smash your soundsystem for sure. Love iT
