Kris McLachlan made his production debut in 2008 focusing on Hard Trance & Hard Tech sounds release tracks that gained him 3 BBC Radio One plays, appeared on 6 worldwide sold compilation albums and gained support from fans all over the globe from places such as USA, South Africa, Australia, Argentina to name a few. Keeping the BPMs fast and the energy high, another anthem on Metamorph Advance in the making here. So who to remix? None other than hard trance guru Bravenus (Space Raven)! He has done an amazing job of refreshing this anthem without losing any of the charm of the original. Sure to pick up lots of support over the coming months.

 [item value="10"] Kris McLachlan - Spaced (Braverus Remix)[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Braverus delivers powerful headbanging make over recalling the good old hard trance days when the bass was fat, rough and stomping and the kick sharp, heavy and furious. Full on euphoric synthy hooks along with classic uplifting style vocal that brings happiness. The piano chords add the melancholic moody touch in the cinematic breakdown. The climax is stunning with the very epic anthemic strings and the massive orchestral strings that will send you to outer space and beyond taking your mind back to the future. #PureHardness Love IT [/content]

Your Name: Costa Pantazis
Your location(country,city): London, United Kingdom

Dimitri: Can you mention your biggest music career achievements in 2017?
Costa: Running my own Metamorph Recordings imprint which now has been going for nearly seven years (time flies!) mostly covering hard dance but in 2018 will be changing direction and moving back to trance. It's been too long overdue but given the direction the harder sounds of trance have moved over the last few years I felt the time is right to finally move with it. With that, launching ART Recordings with Carl Nicholson which has in such a short space of time done so well release-wise and gained huge support on the trance circuit which we plan to continue with next year as well.
Dimitri: Can you mention your biggest personal life achievements in 2017 that make you extremely proud?
