REVIEW: Gareth Emery feat. Evan Henzi - Call To Arms (Remixes) on Garuda / Armada

Flux BPM Administrator

01:55:00

Riding a towering wave of momentum brought forth by the emotion-charged original, Gareth Emery presents the handpicked remix selection for his latest collaboration with singer-songwriter Evan Henzi. A collection of staggering depth brought about by none other than Cosmic Gate, Sebastien, Matt Fax and Davey Asprey, ‘Call To Arms (The Remixes)’ takes the song’s empowering message and multiplies it by four for increased impact.

Preserving the spirit of the original song whilst embarking on a rampaging journey across new sonic terrain, Cosmic Gate, Sebastien, Matt Fax and Davey Asprey join forces to deliver Gareth Emery and Evan Henzi’s cathartic battle cry to all corners of the electronic music spectrum. Already backed by the scene’s finest as well as legions of fans worldwide, ‘Call To Arms’ echoes out triumphantly throughout this all-conquering remix package.

First off is Cosmic Gate’s incendiary, no-holds-barred take on the original (which has stunned fans two weeks running on A State Of Trance), followed by Sebastien’s atmospheric, emotional groove. With the envelope-pushing progressive soundscapes of Matt Fax and Davey Asprey’s soaring leads and Hammer-of-the-Gods bassline added in, this superb package ensures this call to arms will echo on around the globe for years to come.

Gareth Emery is known for relentlessly pushing boundaries as well as his innate ability to eclipse expectations and set a new benchmark in electronic music with every new release. Evan Henzi’s lyrical message of triumph over adversity as a survivor of child abuse is as compelling as his vocals are spine-tingling; with a refusal to remain silent, they roar to life over Emery’s thunderous, arena-ready track, which has now been reimagined by a cast of today’s finest electronic producers.

This is the unstoppable second attack…this is ‘Call To Arms, The Remixes’.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The awesome collaboration between Gareth Emery and Evan Henzi was one of my favourites vocal trance anthems that now gets 4 massive remix treatments. Sebastien adds his deep melodic house sound with chunky grooves, nice smooth grooves along with superb strings, emotional piano and harp chords while the beautiful vocal takes central stage. Cosmic Gate provide the strongest version with thumping bass, fat drums, dark moody atmosphere and great breakdown with strong orchestration to deliver the live performance experience. The climax is full on rave trance at its best with the fantastic synthy hook giving goosebumps from head to toe. Just so perfect without doubts. Davey Asprey climbs one step higher with his uplifting trance remix that is full on epic atmospheric trance with thunderous basslines, pumping drums, uplifting synths and climax that will move even mountains. Lastly Matt Fax adds some dirty pulsating basslines along with stomping grooves while the breakdown includes superb guitar riffs, melodramatic piano and the stunning vocals. The climax is full on melodic progressive trance with the epic edge to ensure dancefloor domination. Quality package of equally great strong remixes. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

REVIEW: Gareth Emery feat. Evan Henzi - Call To Arms out on Garuda / Armada Music

Flux BPM Administrator

23:52:00

Fresh from reigniting his Garuda label alongside frequent collaborator, long-time friend and now fellow head honcho Ashley Wallbridge, Gareth Emery unleashes his next incendiary single. Featuring the mesmerizing vocals of Los Angeles-based newcomer Evan Henzi, ‘Call To Arms’ is a stirring anthem certain to inspire millions with its declaration of empowerment.

With the unstoppable rage of a storm building from within, ‘Call To Arms’ sees Gareth Emery and Evan Henzi unleash a battle cry that echoes the turbulent inner landscape of a young singer-songwriter. Co-written by Gary Lightbody and Johnny McDaid of Snow Patrol, this searing Emery production calls upon listeners worldwide to raise their fists in solidarity as Evan Henzi's emotive vocals signal a new dawn. A new global movement has arrived.

‘Call to Arms’ is the latest cutting-edge production from U.K. trance master Gareth Emery, who is known for his relentless boundary pushing and innate ability to eclipse expectations, and sets benchmarks in electronic music with every new release. Evan Henzi’s message of triumph over adversity as a survivor of child abuse is as compelling as his vocals are spine-tingling; with a refusal to remain silent, they roar to life over Emery’s thunderous, arena-ready track.

Fresh from selling out the 8500 capacity Bill Graham Auditorium in San Francisco with his encore Laserface arena show, Gareth Emery has further cemented himself as one of the most in-demand live DJs on the planet, and is just as exhilarating in front of a live televised audience of millions (Closing Ceremony of the 2015 European Games), as he is on any global festival main stage or sweaty club rammed with legions of fans. Add to that Emery’s starring role as EDM cult figure Brandon Bass in the Verizon TV series ‘We Are CVNT5’, his CEO position in ground-breaking music start-up ‘Choon’, him being a three-time recipient of A State Of Trance’s Tune of The Year award and his inexhaustible work rate on his own Garuda label, and you have a CV as varied as it is daunting.

REVIEW: Signum feat. Scott Mac - Coming On Strong (Gareth Emery & Ashley Wallbridge Remix) out on Garuda Music

Flux BPM Administrator

22:17:00

Having already turned heads with #1 Trance hit ‘Surrender’ on their revamped label, the Garuda pair turn to another timeless architect of dancefloor culture. This time serving up a unique rendition of Signum’s seminal club anthem ‘Coming on Strong’.

Neither Gareth or Ashley are strangers to underground anthems or wall-shattering club bangers. They both stood at the helm of the UK’s club scene with their original Garuda nights. Knowing this history, it’s fitting they chose to rework such a recognized and timeless classic in conjunction with the label’s relaunch.

Originally the brainchild of Gareth Emery, the pair now control Garuda together and are very clear on the label’s direction. One that offers cutting edge Trance and Progressive, with a sharp focus on melodic, uplifting records.

Looking ahead to Garuda’s upcoming 10 year milestone, they’ve already brought in a complete new team, strict music policy, visual makeover and diary of international events. 2018 is very clearly hotting up and following an early run of sold-out UK events, the guys will take their distinctive sound across North America for the first leg of the Garuda tour.

There and everywhere else, this slamming remix will no doubt recreate those explosive dancefloor moments, familiar to all who experienced Garuda club-nights or Gareth’s killer festival sets like Tomorrowland (2017), EDC Vegas (2017), ASOT 850 and more.

Press play, raise the volume and prepare to Come On Strong!

02:01:00

Marking the first release on Gareth Emery and Ashley Wallbridge’s revamped Garuda imprint, Darude unveils his anticipated collaboration ‘Surrender’ alongside Ashley Wallbridge and rising talent FOUX. With a rich label history honing a catalogue of releases from the likes of Ferry Corsten and Above & Beyond, Darude introduces the revamped label with a signature Trance offering.

With Gareth Emery and Ashley Wallbridge premiering the track and revamp on Armin van Buuren’s legendary A State of Trance radio show on February 1st, ‘Surrender’s’ euphoric melodies and irresistible vocals align both Darude and Ashley Wallbridge’s styles for maximum dancefloor impact.

After becoming a staple for pushing forward rising talent along with the scene’s finest, Garuda returns with a completely reimagined label ahead of their 10th anniversary in 2019. Now led by both Gareth Emery and Ashley Wallbridge, the ‘Nu’ vision for the avant-garde imprint looks to bring fresh, dynamic material to the platform starting with a powerful opening offering from Darude.

With previous Garuda events featuring guests such as Markus Schulz, Above & Beyond, Sander Van Doorn and Ferry Corsten, the labels international diary of events looks set to reach exciting new dimensions starting with exclusive club nights on the label’s home turf, the UK in February, whilst building upon their esteemed collection of compilations and artist albums from Garuda veterans.

Touching on the release, Darude stated "Having been a fan of the Garuda sound, like, half trance, but not afraid to go outside of it, too, I’m very happy to become associated with the brand as well. I’m excited to have the first release on the newly revamped label and having heard other stuff that’s coming out soon, too, it’s all good news for dance music fans in general! "

After a year which has taken Darude across the likes of Tomorrowland (Belgium) and Emmaboda Festival (Sweden), as well as wealth of shows across the US, Australia, New Zealand and beyond, his tour profile continues to expand with a ‘Surrender’ tour through the US over the next few months, giving fans multiple chances to hear the new Garuda offering on the dancefloor!

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Alone was a massive success for Luke Bond featuring the ethereal romantic performance by Georgia Mason. Now it is time for the remix package that includes the full on straight forward uplifting trance remix by Luke who is master on building incredible uplifting trance tracks and HIDDN who take the trap/dubstep direction. Firstly Luke himself deliver the magnificent uplifting banger with fat full on metallic basslines, thumping drums and driving groove while on top sweet synthy melodies and fantastic vocals lead us on the glossy breakdown that shines with its lusciousness and mesmerising atmosphere underlined with piano chords and epic strings that will give you goosebumps from head to toe. The climax is full on and in your face with seriously infectious euphoric moments that bring the bittersweet trance taste. HIDDN version is relaxing and smooth with great trap pop dance sound with break beat in the breakdown while in the drop the playful lazy groove is smashed with playful application of the nice vocals following the trap tradition. It sounds perfect to chill out after heavy clubbing moments. Two different but so lovable versions. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

Ready to turn clubs inside out as they did back in the day, Taao Kross and Otto Orlandi came up with the right tool to do so. Sure to inspire raves across the globe, their joint venture simply roots down to being kick-ass and a sick party starter. 'The Primitives' will have you dancing like there's no tomorrow for time to come.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Maybe its cold outside but you still feel that urge to start dancing like you are in your favourite Ibiza club. Now you have the opportunity to do it as Taao Kross and Otto Orlandi on Garuda deliver the big room prog house bomb The Primitives. As the title suggests in the breakdown includes along with the nice melodies sampled ethnic vocals that add its exotic flavour. The drop is pumping and bouncy with tribal drums, pulsating basslines, trumpet riffs and whistles that follow that Carnival like rhythm. Its intense, energetic, feel good and undeniably a big crowd pleaser. #PureGold Love It[/content]
