Daybreakers, the dynamic duo of Ric Scott and Alex Hush, renowned for their remix work with iconic artists like U2 and Madonna, as well as their globally acclaimed collaboration with Radio Company, have once again showcased their production prowess with "It Could Be True," released under ZYX Trance. This track not only embodies the nostalgic essence of late 90s and early 2000s trance but also highlights sophisticated production techniques that cater to both trance purists and modern dance music enthusiasts.
"It Could Be True" operates on a solid 140 BPM framework, a tempo that pays homage to the classic trance era, fostering an energetic yet emotionally resonant atmosphere. The track opens with a crisp, pulsating bassline, meticulously sidechained to breathe in sync with the thumping kick drums. This technique not only enhances the groove but also maintains clarity in the low-end frequencies, a hallmark of well-produced trance tracks.
The rhythmic foundation is bolstered by tightly programmed percussion layers, including sharp hi-hats, snappy claps, and rolling snares, which inject dynamic motion and drive. These elements are subtly automated, with reverb and delay effects that evolve throughout the track, adding depth and maintaining listener engagement.
The melodic content is where "It Could Be True" truly shines. The use of lush, emotional synth pads creates a broad sonic landscape, over which arpeggiated sequences and lead melodies dance with fluid grace. The synths are crafted using virtual analog plugins that emulate the warmth and grit of vintage hardware, processed through effects chains featuring chorus, flanger, and phaser to add movement and texture.
One of the standout segments is the breakdown, characterized by a melancholic piano melody that contrasts beautifully with the track's upbeat nature. The piano, processed with subtle reverb and tape saturation, exudes a raw, emotional quality. Underneath, epic swirling synths gradually rise, employing automation on filter cutoffs and resonance to build tension effectively.
Christina Nicola’s vocals are treated with meticulous care. Layered harmonies and double-tracking techniques enrich the texture, while EQ and compression ensure her voice sits perfectly within the mix. Reverb and delay are tastefully applied, creating a spacious, ethereal quality that complements the track’s atmospheric backdrop.
The track reaches its zenith with a euphoric, hands-in-the-air climax where all elements converge. The drop reintroduces the driving rhythm, now intensified by the emotional weight of the vocals and the full spectrum of synth layers. The bittersweet blend of melodic hooks, dynamic chord progressions, and the interplay of vocals and synths culminate in an anthemic finish that resonates long after the track ends.
In conclusion, "It Could Be True" is a masterclass in trance production, blending nostalgic elements with contemporary techniques. Daybreakers and Christina Nicola have crafted a track that’s not only technically impressive but also profoundly moving, securing its place as a memorable addition to the ZYX
