Not everything needs to be shiny and happy.

Sometimes it’s important to embrace the dark vibes, and that’s where Vendetta comes in.

‘The Resistance’ feels post-apocalyptic, like the machines rising up from the ashes to play their music for the new world.

Intense atmospheres join incredible bass to form a wicked and unstoppable combo.







Dimitri Kechagias review: If you appreciate the darker moody forms of big room trance then The Resistance by Vendetta is the track that will satisfy your needs. It's released on Armada's imprint Soundpiercing and is already on high rotation on many A list dj sets. Superb bouncy chunky relentlessly building groove, driving energetic haunting basslines, side chain effects that build tension and suspense throughout with swirling synths and aggressive sounds. What is more even on top cinematic strings added to bring the right mysterious atmosphere and lead the track to the magical breakdown with distorted vocal samples and the revelation of the huge rave style synthy lead that will raise the hair from your back and will drive the clubbers mad for sure. It's the moment that everybody will shout loud and with hands in the air will move to the massive epic and anthemic to the core climax that will cause many heart attacks to those who are weak hearted. Are you ready to experience this track that sounds more like a typhoon taking over the control of the dancefloor? Mainstage mayhem is guaranteed or your money back! #PureGold Love It

1-Paint The Sky (Original mix)

Paint the Sky’ has the kind of theme that will haunt your imagination for days to come.

Niels Alexander keeps the fire burning brightly with his evolving synths, suspenseful chords, and adrenaline-inducing beats.

Soundpiercing’s latest addition brings the heat, are you ready for it?







Dimitri Kechagias review: Soundpiercing continues to be at the forefront of the trance scene with forward thinking releases like the latest magnificent anthem by the Dutch Niels Alexander from Amsterdam called Paint The Sky. The track moves within the realm of the well established Dutch trance sound that combines elements of big room trance with progressive trance and incorporates influences from classical music as well. Paint The Sky continues the legacy of Armin's Gaia sound with heavy chunky grooves, energetic electrified driving basslines and euphoric playful synths. In the breakdown the haunting piano theme is introduced supported by classical orchestral music strings and heavenly female voices. The dreamy soundscape is truly magical and has that cinematic or better theatrical feel to it. The massive rave style distorted synthy riff is coming to the surface and will bring mayhem on any big summer festival arena for sure. Epic hair raising melody that has that classic music value in it and leads the track to the massive headbanging and absolutely anthemic climax that will carry your spirit away to strange places and mythical mysterious worlds. Just imagine Armin van Buuren playing it in his dj set at Tomorrowland and you are just underneath with hands in the air screaming and dancing with big joy! #PureGold Love iT

1-Profile
2-Electrified

Digital X has a unique, melodic style – his songs are uplifting without ever being over-the-top, and both ‘Profile’ and ‘Electrified’ are full of his characteristic, high-intensity sound. 

Listening to this release is listening to pure fun – a feeling that certainly translates in live settings.







Dimitri Kechagias review: Soundpiercing is the legendary Armada Music sublabel that continues successfully for many years and has  dedicated following that appreciates the open minded approach and the adventurous releases that doesn't belong to a certain trance sub genre. The well known underground producer from Ukraine with top releases on labels like Coldharbour recordings or Saturate Audio delivers the magnificent trance anthems Profile & Electrified. Firstly Profile is to the point big room trancer with techy mechanical grooves, deep brooding basslines, luscious colourful melodies and epic synths that slowly build the tension. The main distorted warped rave style synthy lead appears with small hints until to reveal its full length on the short breakdown. The climax is full on hands in the air with the huge main synthy lead driving the track forward and bringing mayhem on the happy dancefloor. Electrified is also to the point big room trancer that manage in its less than 6 minutes duration to uplift the crowd and offer them unforgettable moments of joy on the dancefloor. On this track the breakdown is longer as it slowly unveils the massive euphoric synthy lead that is played in truly electronic way until to land on the massive breakdown that the massive epic hands in the air melody drives the proceedings forward and the dancefloor in constant movement. If you are feeling bored from super long tracks that never reach the good point check this EP as both tracks are straight forward and to the point! #PureGold Love IT

1. This Is Not A Breakdown (David Forbes Remix)
2. The Same Journey (Mark Sherry Remix)


Two brilliant remixes grace this release -- David Forbes couples the catchy vocal of ‘This Is Not A Breakdown’ with driving bass and great chords, taking The Realm’s tune to soaring new heights.  

Mark Sherry opts for a more intense, darker, distinctly main-stage feel in his larger-than-life rework of The Space Brothers - ‘The Same Journey’.






Dimitri Kechagias review: Armada Music  has one of the biggest back catalogues with the best trance classics in its golden vaults. Two very strong unforgettable vocal trance anthems are coming back with vengeance in the form of brand new remixes. This latest EP on Soundpiercing seems to be a Scottish affair as two very well known Scottish producers are on remix duties. First of all David Forbes well known for some of the finest trance anthems service his fantastic rework for This Is Not A Breakdown by The Realm that has the drive, energy and sunkissed atmosphere you ask for within a trance set that is blissful, hypnotic, dreamy and easily can transfer you to another world. Perfect to play in the progressive balearic On The Beach part of your set. Relaxing, smooth and colourful with wonderful piano chords and massive epic euphoric synths. This is progressive vocal trance as it should be done. The well known project The Space Brothers is coming next with Mark Sherry on remix duties of their classic inspirational vocal trance anthem The Same Journey. Mark is well known for his banging, rough and highly energetic remixes and here he delivers what we come to expect from him after so many years with consistency and without letting us down even once. Dark moody techy foundation and stunning breakdown with the fantastic unforgettable  vocal followed by the massive dirty and greedy distorted synthy lead that will drive the dancefloor mad for sure. Two exceptional remixes that will refresh the two classics in the finest possible way.  #PureGold Love IT

Russia’s Alexander Popov and Hungary’s Flashtech honour the past by giving two legendary Simmonds & Jones classics an astounding 2014 upgrade. Witness the revival of Chakra’s ‘Home’ and Oxygen’s ‘Am I On Your Mind’, remixed by two rising talents.

Heavily supported by Armin van Buuren on A State of Trance, Alexander Popov’s take on ‘Home’ unveils a prog-trance tune that wears the unmistakable Popov sound. It’s deep and dreamy, keeping the spark of the original without falling into oldskool.

Hungary’s Flashtech is just the man for taking on the tear-jerking ‘Am I On Your Mind’. He gives it an up-tempo stir of prog, making it impossible not to lose yourself inside its groove

  
Dimitri Kechagias review: The top trance imprint Soundpiercing part of Armada Music presents another must have release that updates with brand new versions two very large vocal trance classics. First of all is the exceptional Chakra with the magnificent Home remixed by non other than the perfect Russian Alexander Popov who does his best once again to be at the forefront of the club scene. Powerful and energetic with chunky groovy beats, flexible deep and electro inspired basslines, colourful feel good melodies that are high class of course and the unforgettable vocal that everyone who is part of the trance scene knows by heart and we all fine ourselves in some difficult situations faraway from our homebase and those lyrics really reflect how unsure, unsafe and in need of guidance we were at that moment. If you search for an inspiring powerbanging trancer with massive synthy lead in the breakdown do not miss the chance to respray your memory with this stand out remix. 2nd track on the release comes from  Oxygen featuring the beloved Andrea  Britton with the brilliant Am I On Your Mind. The top artist Flashtech is on remix duties and he delivers a wonderful melodic progressive trancer that is emotional, dreamy, tripping and very  danceable as well. Its the perfect choice for the 1st more progressive balearic hour of your trance set that you want to create the right mood and bring the right atmosphere. If you love great sound design, advanced soundscapes and high class vocals and lyrics you better do not miss those trance classics who will be played eternally! Love It

1. Solidus (Original Mix)

James Dymond just doesn’t do average. Every single track that leaves his studio, is a work of art. Captivating the soul and moving the body, is what his new tune ‘Solidus’ does. 

Building a very solid discography, looking back upon outstanding trancers such as ‘Imperium’, ‘Paladin’ and ‘Odyssey’, James Dymond could very well be the answer to a promising future of trance.

‘Solidus’ confirms that, bringing a unique mix of the classic trance sound, mingling with today’s techniques. This Dymond tune is all set to move the masses.  

                                       

Dimitri Kechagias review:  Soundpiercing releases only the highest quality trance anthems with eclectic touch by allowing only the best to come to the surface. The latest release with the seal of approval of Soundpiercing comes from the hands of the beloved producer James Dymond. His name is a brand on its own and  synonymous of must play release on your trance set. When I see James Dymond on the credits I expect only the best and this is what the trance family gets once again on Solidus. This is full on uplifting trancer on the proglifting trance tip. With techy tribal beats, driving haunting basslines and hi-nrg synths on top we are on board for something unbelievable. He builds all the soundlayers in the finest possible way with first small breakdown that huge kicks and drum rolls lead the track to its main section along with ethereal female voices. Its main section is very solid and tight with slight electro sharp edges to it and nice violin like melody on top. His main breakdown is cinematic to the maximum with classical orchestral Renaissance style music theme and film soundtrack effects and samples that transfer instantly the clubber to a magical place. The massive synthy leads are euphoric and gigantic so when the beat kicks back the track moves to its final section and reach its magnificent catharsis with all the sound layers and particularly that epic synthy doing its job perfectly.  James Dymond is a trance master and Solidus another classic trance anthem in the making. Love iT

1. Sao Paulo (Original Mix)

Trance land has all reason to be excited. Two of its most promising names bind their strengths, and join forces for what might just be the next big thing to land. Stand by, for Tomas Heredia and James Dymond, as their ‘Sao Paulo’ is about to hit in. 

Not only one of the biggest cities of a very beautiful country, but also the title to a quality tune that’s coming for you. 

Argentina’s Tomas Heredia and UK’s James Dymond make their swooning melodies and hard-hitting beats balance into a piece of perfection. If ‘Sao Paulo’ isn’t peak-time, we don’t know what is. 

   

Dimitri Kechagias review: Armada Music's in house label Soundpiercing presents the collaboration that we didnt expect but finally happened. Tomas Heredia and James Dymond combined their power forces to service a massive big room euphoric hands in the air track that will blow your mind. Sao Paulo is definitely a peak time anthem that brings in one track the elements that characterise the two very talented producers. It moves in the middle ground of Tomas tech trance / big room sound and James uplifting euphoric excellence. The result is a powerbanger that will take you on board for a rough and nasty drive. The beats are tough and bouncy, the basslines energetic with electro touches as well, the melodies on top and warm strings too. The breakdown is calming and soothing for a while but the huge rave style distorted synthy lead comes to the forefront to excite the crowd and build the anticipation for the massive hard and kicking energetic full on climax that will be impossible for you to stand still. Hands will be in the air, shivers all over your body and happy clubbers with glow sticks in their hands. This Is What I Call Trance, Love iT

1.Cyclone (Original Mix)
2.Dimensional (Original Mix)

Big. Bigger. KhoMha. There’s no way around the tunes of young Colombian talent KhoMha. The tunes of ‘Cyclone’ and ‘Dimensional’ are no different – these two are in the face. And we guarantee you – you’ll love it.

It’s been one hell of ride for Colombia’s pride in electronic music. KhoMha made a quick rise, standing out with his endlessly deep, driving basslines. 

You’ll find them, once more, on the beasts that are ‘Cyclone’ and ‘Dimensional’. Two goodies for peak- time service. 





Dimitri Kechagias review:  Soundpiercing is one of the most important record labels at Armada Music that its music menu is very open minded with releases ranging from progressive house to melodic progressive trance and beyond. The very talented DJ & producer KhoMha presents two magnificent tracks that include influences from house and electro but they can be easily labeled as deep progressive trance. On Cyclone the beats are chunky, the basslines are deep and driving and the breakdown is magical with huge opera style female vocal that is followed by massive addictive electro infused synthy hook. The climax is full on and perfect for those peak time prog trance moments. The 2nd top notch track Dimensional continues on the same path of deep progressive trance that is not afraid to include infusions from other genres, The quality of the production is the finest you can get with tribalish groovy beats, electro housey basslines and great synthy hooks to keep you glued and addicted to it until the very end. The breakdown is characterised from its melancholic piano chords taken maybe from an old vinyl. Huge synthy riffs are unleashed to create waves of euphoria performing a quite dark and very sinister melodic theme that sounds quite epic and euphoric in the massive rough and tough climax. Two massive bangers that keep your eyes focused on Armada Music & KhoMha. Love IT

1.Manticore (Original Mix)

Ukraine’s league of upcoming producers is quickly growing, with many outstanding productions as a result. One of them is the mighty ‘Manticore’, by rising talent Digital X. Let’s see how long you can resist dancing once this gem comes up.

Last year, Kiev based producer Peter Golub brought us the audio weapons of ‘Raptor’ and ‘Stealth’. This year, he’s back, armed with even more of his original goodness. 

‘Manticore’ breaths big-room, building strong and rocking hard. Its melodies get under your skin in no time, and the break will stick with you for a while, long after you’ve first heard it. Quite the anthem. 

                                                         
Dimitri Kechagias review: Soundpiercing is one of the first record labels established at Armada Music that this year celebrates 10 glorious years of success. Digital X impress us once again with his production Manticore that surfaces on Soundpiercing. If you like the pressure cooker atmosphere that is packed with intensity and amazing amount of adrenaline you should not miss Manticore. Its full on energetic pumping driving affair with modern production values but with certain old school feel to it. It bridges the past of the trance genre with epic synths that remind us Jean Michel Jar & Vangelis. His breakdown is atmospheric with melancholic piano melody. But don't be fooled this is not a romantic song. Very soon the huge distorted rave style synthy lead surfaces up to create a hair raising effect and give us goosebumps without doubts. The climax offer us the pay off moment we all wait for to get and get totally and utterly crazy with excitement. Full on euphoric big room trancer that has certain dark bittersweet atmosphere to it. It manages so well to balance the bright side with the dark gothic one without disrupting the equilibrium. Love IT
