01. Kate Morgan - Pretty Delusions (Myon Remix)
02. Kate Morgan - Pretty Delusions (Myon Extended Remix)

With only a handful of releases to her name, (‘Pretty Delusions’ representing the second), through the left eye Kate Morgan’s a newcomer. Through the right? She’s amongst electronic music’s most prolific collaborators, having written, co-written and provided vocal aspects for some of its biggest names. Amongst them are The Chainsmokers, blackbear, Cher Lloyd, ILLENIUM, ZHU, DVBBS, Lena, and Gryffin, while she’s also scored a Dance Radio #1, with her co-write of Anabel Englund’s “Midnight Rapture”.

RIDE boss Myon sees her more through the left; an artist in her own right, at the earliest stages of her career, and with talent to burn. Having fallen for ‘Pretty Delusions’ within days of its spring release, he offered to lend it a remix-hand. 


Never losing sight of “Pretty Delusions” folk-flecked, guitar-tinged hometown reflections, Myon’s given it both the canniest and most heartfelt of floor treatments. Charged by a skipping breakbeat flow, undulant bass, and big sky melodies, it sonically patches a degree of the original’s days-gone-by lament with some future-perfect feels. 
Talking about the thoughts behind ‘Pretty Delusions’, Kate says: “as an artist my journey started playing local open mics and busking, and for a long time I wanted to run from that place. I suppose that represents some of my own “pretty delusions”. I always thought ‘happy’ would be another place, or level of success. As I’ve gotten older though, no matter where I go or what I do, part of me still feels like that teenager, desperate to know more of myself and the world. Stepping back into releasing my own music I wanted to touch base with that girl, and I sure am proud of this pretty place I call home.”
RIDE hits its 125th release in style, with Myon’s killer rework of ‘Pretty Delusions’. You can find it here from today …HERE

[item value="10"] Myon x Jhirst - The Predictable Unkown[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Myon x Jhirst aka Rodrigo Deem collaborate for the superb single The Predictable Unkown. The track combines mainstage techno basslines, thumping kicks, pounding drums with very emotional and euphoric synths in the breakdown leading in the heavy and raw tech trance drop that will move even mountains. Perfectly in tune with the current deep trance or if you wish to call it melodic techno style the track is an underground gem full of stunning sonic soundscapes, dreamy ambient sounds and most importantly highly infectious and utterly anthemic melodies that will stuck in your head for days. Two of the most beloved artists deliver one of the peak time bangers for the forthcoming summer festival season. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

[item value="10"]Julian Gray x Wintersix - The City [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Julian Gray x Wintersix collaborate for the fantastic melodic progressive trance beauty The City. Electro touched basslines, chunky grooves, cool percussion and on top warm summery relaxing melodies along with the very simple but very infectious female vocals. It's one of those tracks that wins the hearts and minds thanks to the very strong melodies and very simple but so addictive sound that will be welcomed in the early stages of progressive trance sets with balearic sunrise in your minds. Traveling, floating and full of swinging grooves this is a winner for me. #PureGold Love IT [/content]

By any measure Myon’s been sizing up a compilation project for some time now. For the US-based DJ/producer however it was never about doing a mixcomp, it was about it’s about doing the mixcomp. Raised, throughout his formative years on them in his native Hungary, it was the go-to medium to get music. Mixcomps though, Myon feels, have lost some lustre and through ‘Tales From Another World’, that’s something he’s about to re-establish. 
“I have always had a big dream to launch a mix compilation series that would make the same impact as the ones I listened to in my youth, Myon elaborates. From cassette mixes in the 90’s, to buying dance compilations in the 2000’s, there is no doubt this heavily influenced me growing up. I wanted to revive something that I felt was largely gone from dance music – to bring the ‘special’ back. That’s taken a lot of time to develop, but – happy to say – here we are!”
‘Tales From Another World’ is his first in a series that will go to new, and indeed he believes the furthest lengths to concentrate the essence of its settled-upon city, country or continent. Myon’s .01 debut rests inside that latter parameter. 
“To a greater degree, he says, I chose South America as the theme for the first instalment, because two of my all time favourite compilations share that theme. My goal was to find and create music that has the early progressive house sound, albeit with a Latin twist. The first rule in developing it was: no fillers/no cop-outs! From first to last, only music that truly belonged on a compilation would make the cut. This meant enlisting artists at Ride (Myon’s label) and from continent itself to help get a sound and feel that’s explicitly, authentically South America.”
Myon’s started by either connecting or reconnecting with artists of interest from the area itself. Finding many open to the concept, this led to a swift intake of music and collaborations from artists, singers and acts including Jose Pesqueira, Gabriel Montufar, Indaco, Nicole Torres and Gala Khalife. 

Buoyed, Myon then went on the hunt for fresh-from-the-desks material that had notable Latin presence. As part of that process, ‘Ushuaia’, ‘Panama’, ‘Coral’, ‘Cala Saladeta’ and ‘Salvador Nights’ surfaced. This respectively brought music from Estiva, Pavel Khvaleev, Lee Coulson, Hausman, and Farius to ‘Tales From Another World Vol.01’s table. 

With musical ethnicity from the continent forefront in his mind, Myon also retouched several current numbers to use exclusively as part of ‘Tales From Another World’s story. At cooler tempos and working with banks of instrumentation inherent to the area, he re-centered tracks like Late Night Alumni’s ‘Low’, ‘A Deeper Truth’ from Sygma & Anne Hathaway and Gabriel & Dresden’s ‘You’.

Myon didn’t overlook the opportunity to return to the crates and dig out some tracks from classic compilations past either. With his Reminiscent Mix, Farius has brought Angelic’s ‘Stay With Me’ back to the fore. Mitiska and Myon himself meanwhile have also given an artfully Hispanic ‘Tales’ translation to The Spacelover’s ‘Space Lover’ with their housier retell.     

Further in the album also features a host of other music with perceptible shades and threads from the southern quarter. Spencer Brown, Ilan Bluestone and Wrechiski  (to name a few) feature with – respectively - ‘Not Alone’, ’Nightwalk’ and ‘Fervour’. Further echoing that, there are notable mix inclusions like the tropical house-edged ‘When You’re Here’ from Roger Shah and Lumisade’s cool-n-trancey Balearic Mix of Late Night Alumni’s ‘Empty Streets’ 
“Tales from Another World is a series I would like to continue for years to come, with every volume representing a different continent, country or city, concludes Myon. I felt so much joy creating this, and I can only hope you will feel the same listening to this as I did as a kid in the 90s”.
No mere ‘spirit’/‘flavour’/‘vibe’ surface lick, this compilation is a wholehearted push to capture the experience/essence-absolute of South America. Myon’s ‘Tales From Another World’ Volume 01 – South America’ drops January 25.

September sees Myon renew a studio relationship first formed in 2014 with his debut co-production with the US Late Night Alumni collective. Tonally and thematically ‘Hearts & Silence’ picks up where ‘Under Your Cloud’ left off. It again underscores the brilliant, near-alchemic triangulation between Myon’s clubbier, more driving studio instincts, L.N.A.’s cooler housier, elements and the quiet persuasion of singer Becky Jean Williams’ empathetic, affecting vocals. 

On the club mix Myon‘s techier contours and more electro-lining FX light the track’s touch-paper. Against its riding percussion lines and elegiacally bleeping intro melody, collectively they instil a lament-filled emotive to its early minutes. 

As sensitively written as they are deeply moving, Becky’s ‘Hearts & Silence’ lyrics and vocal put the brilliance of her from-the-heart songwriting into sharpest possible focus. As the track moves towards the drop, those more wistful vocal accents fade, replaced - in feel and tone - with first hope, and then belief. 

Though their music Myon and L.N.A. skilfully shadow this transition. With evermore uplifting elements – orchestral strings, seaside atmospherics and beautifully crafted/strikingly elevating synths all supporting the shift, it swells to its heartening, enriching post-break conclusion. Classy, organic music making at its absolute finest, you can listen/buy Myon & Late Night Alumni’s ‘Hearts & Silence’ here

The original version has a very melodic tropical chilling vibe with instantly hooky vocals and lyrics that definitely have a nice story to talk about. Its the type of track that can work as great opener in deep melodic more mainstream oriented sets. The Hipster Mix adds as main elements the superb guitar riff  with more driving groove underneath adding more punch but still keeping that after summer holiday vibe on it. #PurePOP #PureGold[/content]

 [item value="10"]Myon - Albion (Remixes)[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Myon is one of the brightest young stars in the trance scene with his own exceptional sound. His track Albion returns with 3 brand new fantastic remixes to blow your mind. Firstly the Dutch talent Estiva who give us two versions. His main version adopts Giorgio Moroderish hi-nrg driving bassline upon pumping rolling drums merged with ethereal female vocals on top. Dreamy and mesmerizing version from Estiva who never fails to impress. His Hard Dub mix adds heavy acid overtones and the climax is jawdropping to say the least. The upcoming Marcus Santoro proves his worth and deliver the more straight forward proglifting version with thumping electro infused basslines, bouncy grooves  and excellent application of the magical vocal that will cast a spell on you. Truly colorful breakdown leads to the mainstage friendly full on unbelievable crescendo moment. Great package to update the beloved  modern classic. #PureGold Love iT[/content]

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Eskai & SNR featuring Jhana beauty Find Yourself is remixed by 3 great artists adding their own talent and flavour. Declan James Remix is a smooth melodic progressive production that moves within the trance and house borders with blissful atmosphere and balearic touches and is the more club friendly version. Medii Remix is taking the slow leftfield direction with dubstep references that will definitely make you float around upon the waves of the stretched basslines and warm strings.  UYU Remix is a dreamy trap friendly pop dance version that will go down well in the pop dance radio playlists. Nice package not to be missed!Love iT[/content]

1. Original Mix
2. Hyraxe Remix

A favorite of Myon & Shane 54’s for many years now, SNR debuts a brand new song with his brother Evin Skye on the latest imprint of Ride Recordins: Slowride! Can You See explores a new musical direction for the prolific San Francisco based producer which also retains the melodic signature that he’s so well known for. Up-and-coming artist Hyraxe delivers an incredibly energetic rendition that launches the original idea into the sky. 



Dimitri Kechagias review:
[review top="1"]
 [item value="10"]SNR & Evin Skye - Can You See incl. Hyraxe remix[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Ride recordings is expanding even more and after the PopRide introduce the sublabel Slowride. We all understand from the name that the sounds on this label will be more electronic/chill out and less club-oriented. SNR & Evin Skye collaborate for Can You See. The original mix is an atmospheric slow jam with smooth laid back groove and great pop touched male vocal on top. Superb synths, electro pop influences and even some  trap elements make this record a late night essential anthem. If you want something still Slow but a bit more hard and rough you can choose Hyraxe remix that goes for a rougher harsh ride with dubstep influences and great cinematic atmosphere. Both tracks can be easily included in a film soundtrack. Great mesmerising vocals, positive lyrics, emotional Slowride mission complete. #PureGold Love It[/content]

Popride - the pop imprint of sister label Ride Recordings - delivers it's second release through the introduction of talented Hungarian duo The Assistants, a.k.a. Tibor Laho and Istvan Csont. With Laho serving as right-hand man to both Myon and Ride Recordings throughout the years, his finely honed production skills and ear for melody are brought to the fore when coupled with Dutch singer/songwriter Bobbie Wall in the upbeat You Are The One. Rounding off the package, Eskai continues his emphatic rise through the Ride Recordings ranks with an adrenaline-fueled progressive interpretation that brings Popride's second release to the main stage.

Eskai transforms the original into a masinstage festivals ready anthem with thumping basslines, pounding tough grooves, big euphoric synths and nice combination of sweet and calm breakdown with strong piano chords while the drop is full on and jump as higher as you can.
