[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]"Set Me Free" by Harshil Kamdar and MIDI Kittyy is a masterclass in euphoric trance production, blending poetic storytelling with a meticulously crafted sound design that resonates deeply with trance enthusiasts. Operating at a brisk 138 BPM, this track embodies the quintessential elements of Balearic uplifting trance, delivering an auditory journey that is both emotionally profound and sonically dynamic. The production begins with lush, atmospheric pads that set a serene yet anticipatory tone. Layered over this foundation are delicate arpeggios that gradually build in complexity, creating a cascading effect that draws the listener into its immersive soundscape. The emotive vocals, skillfully processed with reverb and subtle delay, add a poignant human touch, enhancing the track's narrative depth. A hallmark of "Set Me Free" is its stunning piano chords, which are rich in harmonic texture and provide a melodic anchor throughout the composition. The piano is cleanly EQ'd to sit perfectly within the mix, allowing its brightness to shine without overpowering other elements. The track’s breakdown section is particularly noteworthy, featuring a stripped-back arrangement that highlights the vocal performance against a backdrop of ambient textures and shimmering synth lines. As the track progresses towards its climactic drop, tension is meticulously built through the use of risers, white noise sweeps, and pitch-modulated synths. The drop itself is a euphoric explosion of sound, characterized by pulsating basslines, energetic kick drums, and punchy percussion. The bass is tightly side-chained to the kick, ensuring a powerful yet clean low-end that drives the track's momentum. The use of sun-kissed synth leads, with wide stereo imaging and vibrant, detuned oscillators, adds to the track's soaring, uplifting quality. These synths are complemented by dynamic automation of filters and effects, maintaining listener interest and enhancing the track's emotional impact. The floating and flowing sonic landscapes are masterfully engineered to absorb the listener, creating a sensation of weightlessness and freedom—perfectly aligning with the track’s title. In terms of production values, "Set Me Free" showcases impeccable attention to detail, from its polished mixdown to the balanced mastering that ensures clarity and impact across all frequency ranges. This track is not just a piece of music; it's an experience designed to elevate, inspire, and leave a lasting impression on dance floors and in the hearts of listeners alike. #PureGold LoveIT [/content]

Fresh off their 2024 ASOT Top 20 success, Durand and Gunn return with For You—a trance anthem that’s already making waves.


Voted Future Favorite on A State of Trance Episode 1221, this emotionally charged track blends Alina Renae’s soaring vocals with peak-time energy and heartfelt depth. Inspired by a true story of loss, For You is a tribute that hits with real emotion and floor-filling energy.


Supported by ASOT, paired with a heartfelt music video, and backed by digital firepower, this one’s already resonating across the globe. Load it up—this is one of those tracks.


Nicholas Gunn mentions on YouTube: Twenty-two years ago, my dear friend Alicia Salomon endured an unimaginable tragedy when a drunk driver took the lives of her infant son, infant niece, sister, and brother-in-law in a car accident. The weight of their loss has stayed with me since she first shared her story. 

Music has a way of connecting and healing us all and I've witnessed this firsthand in Alicia's story. Her family had found connection in my album, The Music of the Grand Canyon, during a trip together just before the tragedy. The album became a poignant reminder of their time together. 

More recently, when Alicia's mother passed away from cancer on December 5th, our song "For You" brought her comfort in her final hours, reuniting her with her loved ones in spirit. My upcoming album "30" celebrates three decades of music, shaped by stories like Alicia's. Though not my own, her story needed to be told. 

Collaborating with Richard Durand and Alina Renae, we've poured our hearts into "For You", a tribute to the Salomon and Hernandez families, in love and remembrance 🖤

For You (Trance Version) composed by Richard Durand and Nicholas Gunn
Lyrics by Nicholas Gunn 
Produced by Richard Durand and Nicholas Gunn 
Vocals performed by Alina Renae

Lyrics: 
I could mend a lot of things 
You could read my mind 
Twenty years it's been 
Still in disbelief 
We spent our better years 
Living on the high
Tripping fantasies 
Our reality 

And I
Remember there was you 
With all your sense and grace 
That smile upon your face 
And I 
Will always hold on to  
The spaces in-between
How deafening it once seemed

And now
I gotta live
For you 
And now 
I need to live 
For you 

And now
I gotta live
For you 
And now 
I need to live 
For you

"“For You” is dedicated to the memory of my beloved brother Thanasis and his fiancée Despina, who tragically lost their lives to a drunk taxi driver in 1989. The pain we endured as a family was immense and difficult to overcome. Additionally, “For You” is dedicated to the memory of my parents, Maria and John, who have carried this pain with them for years, sacrificing their own well-being to help us grow. I express my gratitude for this anthem". Dimitris Kechagias
