[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]"Higher Dimension" is not just another trance track; it represents a sonic expedition meticulously crafted with technical precision and emotional depth. This 140 BPM uplifting euphoric instrumental trance piece is woven with psy-infused, razor-sharp basslines, thumping percussion, and pounding kicks, showcasing Rinaly's masterful production skills and distinct sound signature. The track opens with tight, punchy kicks layered seamlessly with a rolling bassline that exhibits psytrance influences. The basslines stand out for their clarity and sharpness, driving the track forward while maintaining a hypnotic groove. Rinaly employs a sophisticated layering technique, where lush atmospheric pads sit beneath delicate arpeggios, creating a rich harmonic structure that unfolds gradually. The percussion arrangement deserves special mention. It comprises crisp hi-hats and dynamic snare rolls, adding to the energy build-up without overwhelming the melodic content. Sidechain compression is expertly utilized, giving the track its characteristic pulsing effect that synchronizes perfectly with the rhythmic elements. The magnificent breakdown is a testament to Rinaly's compositional prowess. She strips back the intensity, introducing ethereal pads and emotive, melodic progressions that offer a moment of introspection. The reverb and delay effects applied here create a spacious, otherworldly feel, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the soundscape fully. As the track ascends from the breakdown, tension builds through rising synth sweeps and crescendoing risers. The drop that follows is euphoric—it’s a feel-good climax that combines all elements harmoniously. The lead synths are bright and soaring, layered with meticulous attention to EQ and stereo imaging, ensuring each frequency sits perfectly in the mix. Rinaly's return to her instrumental roots is evident in the purity of the sound design. The melody lines are crafted with clean, crystalline leads, while the basslines maintain a darker, grittier tone for contrast. The mix is polished, with a wide stereo field that enhances the immersive quality of the track. Dynamics are well-controlled, providing both punch and clarity without sacrificing warmth. "Higher Dimension" is more than just a trance anthem; it's an auditory canvas where Rinaly paints with sound, emotion, and technical finesse. As a part of her upcoming debut album Ecliptica, this track not only reflects her personal journey but also invites listeners to embark on their own. With its impeccable production values and emotive core, "Higher Dimension" stands as a shining example of modern trance excellence. #PureGold #LoveIt [/content]

[item value="10"]Allen Watts - Open Your Mind[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Allen Watts makes a triumphant return to the trance scene with his stellar production, "Open Your Mind," a track that's an amalgamation of technical precision and nostalgic reverence for classic trance. At a driving tempo of 140 BPM, "Open Your Mind" embodies the quintessential energy of uplifting trance. The track initiates with a robust, punchy kick drum that forms the rhythmic backbone, seamlessly layered with energetic, pulsating basslines that provide a dynamic low-end foundation. The basslines are meticulously side-chained to create a pumping effect, adding to the track's hypnotic drive. One of the standout features is the old-school choral stabs, crafted with rich harmonic textures that evoke memories of the golden era of trance. These stabs are complemented by Allen Watts' signature euphoric synth lead, characterized by its soaring, melodic progression and pristine sound design. The lead synth exhibits a wide stereo spread, achieved through careful panning and spatial effects, enhancing the track's immersive quality. The breakdown is an atmospheric masterpiece, featuring ethereal ravey vocal samples that add an emotional depth. Luscius harps are introduced, their delicate plucks processed with reverb and delay to create a spacious, dreamy ambiance. This section builds anticipation through a gradual crescendo, where filter sweeps and risers intensify the tension before the drop. When the drop hits, the big synthy hook bursts forth with unapologetic power. The hook is meticulously layered, combining multiple saw waveforms with harmonic detuning to achieve a rich, full-bodied sound. The use of metallic drums and percussive elements adds a sharp, edgy contrast to the lush melodies, creating a balanced auditory palette. The climax is nothing short of outstanding, with all elements coalescing into a euphoric surge of sound that lifts the listener into an emotional high. The outro transitions into a harder, moodier realm, infused with techy nuances. Here, distorted synths and darker tonalities are introduced, providing a gritty counterpoint to the euphoric peaks earlier in the track. From a production standpoint, "Open Your Mind" showcases Allen Watts' adeptness at sound engineering. The mixing is crisp, with each element occupying its own space in the frequency spectrum. The mastering process ensures that the track retains its punch and clarity, even at high volumes, making it a formidable anthem on dance floors and festival stages alike. #PureGold indeed—Allen Watts has crafted a trance gem that resonates with both technical brilliance and heartfelt nostalgia.

[item value="10"]Darren Porter & Arctic Barbers - Edge Of The World [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Darren Porter and Arctic Barbers' 'Edge Of The World,' released under the esteemed Black Hole Recordings, stands as a stellar exemplar of contemporary proglifting trance. At 134 BPM, it masterfully blends classic trance elements with innovative production techniques, offering an immersive auditory journey that resonates with both technical precision and emotional depth. The track’s foundation is built upon robust, chunky groovy basslines that provide a dynamic rhythmic engine, while the meticulously programmed thumping drums and pounding percussion create a driving pulse that is both hypnotic and invigorating. The percussive elements are layered strategically to enhance the track's energy without overwhelming the melodic layers. Cinematic strings sweep through the composition, their lush textures adding a dramatic flair that complements the melancholic thematic undertones. The production employs a sophisticated use of reverb and delay effects on these strings, heightening their ethereal quality and creating a vast, expansive soundscape. A standout feature is the creative integration of cool vocal chops. Processed with pitch-shifting and granular synthesis techniques, these chops add a human element to the track, bridging the gap between the organic and synthetic realms. This leads seamlessly into an emotional breakdown, characterized by smooth, melancholic piano chords that are enriched with subtle reverb tails, enhancing their reflective mood. The balearic atmosphere is crafted through the careful layering of ambient pads and gentle arpeggios, evoking images of sun-drenched coastlines. This serene interlude is contrasted by the subsequent build-up featuring dense, dark synths and swelling strings. The tension escalates through the use of filtered white noise risers and modulated synth sweeps, employing sidechain compression to maintain rhythmic cohesion. As the track approaches its climax, Darren Porter and Arctic Barbers masterfully manipulate tension and release, a hallmark of trance music. The final drop is a culmination of all preceding elements—a hypnotic fusion of driving basslines, soaring synth leads, and intricate percussive patterns that demand a head-down, lose-yourself-on-the-dancefloor experience. 'Edge Of The World' is not just a track; it's an audio tapestry woven with technical expertise and emotional storytelling, embodying the very essence of what trance music strives to achieve. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

[item value="10"]Ciaran McAuley with Amos & Riot Night - Finding You [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Ciaran McAuley, Amos & Riot Night's latest release, "Finding You," under Black Hole Recordings, is a masterclass in modern instrumental trance production. This 140 BPM euphoric uplifting trance track not only captivates through its melodic flow but also showcases exemplary technical proficiency and innovative production techniques. The track opens with meticulously layered tough metallic basslines that establish a robust foundation. The basslines are crafted using advanced synthesis techniques, likely employing subtractive synthesis with carefully modulated filters to achieve their gritty texture. Complementing these are the pounding kicks, which are probably processed with precision compression and transient shaping to maintain clarity and punch amidst the dense mix. Thumping drums, constructed from a mix of synthesized and sampled percussive elements, add dynamic energy. These drums benefit from intricate EQing and stereo imaging, ensuring each hit occupies its own space within the frequency spectrum, thereby enhancing the overall rhythmic drive. The breakdown section is where the production truly shines. Airy harps, crafted with high-resolution sample libraries or granular synthesis, float over an emotional piano theme that exudes a cinematic aura. The piano's timbre suggests the use of high-quality virtual instruments with realistic velocity layering and reverb settings that create an expansive, ambient soundscape. Adding an exotic flair are chorus vocals, subtly processed with reverb and delay effects to maintain an ethereal presence without overpowering the mix. Massive pluck synths, essential to the trance genre, are designed using complex modulation matrices and unison detuning, building tension effectively as the track approaches its climactic "hands-in-the-air" moment. The overall arrangement reflects a sophisticated understanding of trance dynamics—balancing tension and release, harmonic progression, and textural variation. Production techniques such as sidechain compression ensure that the kick drum remains prominent, while automated filter sweeps and reverb tails contribute to the track's evolving nature. "Finding You" radiates spring feel-good vibes, enriched with strong Balearic influences that evoke nostalgia and unity on the dancefloor. The track is not just a testament to the emotional depth of instrumental trance but also a showcase of cutting-edge production craftsmanship, making it a standout piece in the contemporary trance landscape. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

A match made in trance heaven, Kherson sees Canadian duo Ghost Etiquette flipping this gorgeous piano piece by Ukrainian pianist Yegor Moroz. Moody bigroom stabs melt away into the evocative piano melody, lulling the audience before delivering the staggering lead arpeggio that carries the melody from classical to trance energy. Dedicated to Yegor’s hometown of Kherson.

Ghost Etiquette and Yegor Moroz met at ADExASOT 2021 on the dancefloor and immediately connected through their love of music, trance especially. Upon returning to the Netherlands in 2022 they reconnected and wrote Kherson over two days of music, fishing, and camaraderie - Yegor bringing his masterful piano composition, while Ghost Etiquette translated it into Ableton, reworking the melody for the main lead, pushing the production into the mainstage.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]John Askew has once again captivated the trance music scene with his electrifying track, "We've Talked Enough." Following the triumphant release of his recent album, this 8-minute epic piece is a testament to Askew's mastery in creating euphoric UK Trance. Operating at a brisk 140 BPM, the track embodies all the hallmarks of the genre that fans have trusted and adored for years. Askew's technical prowess shines through with energetic, pulsating basslines that lay a robust foundation. The punchy kicks are perfectly calibrated, providing a relentless drive that keeps the listener hooked. Metallic drums contribute to the track's powerful structure, while a subliminal alarm-like synth hook serves as a central motif, propelling the track forward with an undeniable vigor. This deceptively simple yet powerful riff is a standout feature, promising to move mountains with its infectious energy. The production quality is further highlighted in the track's meticulously crafted breakdowns. The first breakdown is expertly designed to build anticipation, characterized by a gigantic drum roll that introduces the alerting synth hook alongside swirling synths and sophisticated effects. This section is a masterclass in tension building, setting the stage for what is to follow. The second breakdown transforms the listening experience by incorporating ambient noises and percussive dark melodies. It crescendos into a massive climax, driven by a manic drumroll that seamlessly introduces new Ibiza club-style synth riffs. These elements are cleverly interwoven with acid overtones, nudging the track towards a more hypnotic, euphoric, yet still dark and sinister trance direction. One of the most commendable aspects of Askew's production is his ability to let each element of the track breathe and develop, all while maintaining a solid underground feel without compromise. "We've Talked Enough" is a testament to his dedication to quality and innovation, compelling listeners to dance from start to finish. In conclusion, John Askew continues to deliver tracks of pure gold, with "We've Talked Enough" being no exception.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] 0Gravity, a Polish musical duo, has garnered a reputation for producing exceptional music. Their tracks are characterized by a clear, crisp, and emotionally resonant sound. “You’re The One” is a romantic instrumental uplifting trance anthem that would be ideal for requesting at a DJ event. Dedicated to a loved one on Valentine’s Day, this track features a punchy kick, metallic basslines, thumping drums, and beautiful synths. The emotional piano chords evoke a sense of nostalgia and melancholy, while the overall energy is powerful and uplifting. This track stands out as a defining element in any uplifting trance set, leaving a lasting impression on listeners. Uplifting trance music often delves into emotional depth, evoking feelings of melancholy and nostalgia. “You’re The One” masterfully achieves this, transporting listeners to a different emotional realm. This 140-BPM energetic trance track is undoubtedly a lovable addition to any playlist. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

DJ Eternity frequently appears on ZYX Trance with outstanding trance anthems. His latest track Flight of Ikarus draws inspiration from Greek Mythology. His imaginative 140 BPM anthem Flight of Ikarus is a magnificent hybrid of modern futuristic trance that is infused with old school techno kick, powerful metallic basslines, thumping drums and on top he beautifully decorates it with memorable melancholic balearic guitar riff leading to his long nearly 2 minutes breakdown. The atmospheric airy guitar melody is moody enough to transfer you to another magical galaxy. 


The huge synthy melody is unleashed and slowly revealed to build anticipation and excitement until the massive techno metallic beat is striking back for the magnificently executed climax packed with the stunning melancholic and still euphoric melody. The result is a wonderful track that will definitely uplift your spirits but at the same time brings sadness and tears in your eyes as it recalls the tragic end of the Ikarus flight. DJ Eternity continues to gather momentum and attention with his latest euphoric tech trance monster Flight of Ikarus out now on ZYX Trance.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Code2 land on Molekular Sounds with their spaceship called Faded Emotions. The track is a powerful emotional uplifting trance beauty that targets the peaktime moment of your set. With energetic dynamic basslines, thumping kicks and pounding percussion the track moves towards the fantastic breakdown full of emotional melancholic melodies followed by the massive anthemic rocking climax that pushes all the right buttons and goes clean, crisp and clear to win the hearts of an audience that nowadays is well educated to spot the quality tracks. Hard task to produce instrumental epic trance but code2 accomplish the task just perfectly! #PureGold Love IT [/content]
