Guest Reviewer Alex Wright ahead of his monthly radio show Trance Encounters on 1mix radio every first Friday of the month presents his top 5 anthems for this month and explains in his own words why these particular tracks make him happy and what elements through his own experience as producer appreciates more. 



Sean Tyas - Ambush (Original Mix) [Black Hole Recordings]

Released on his Degeneration Volume Two EP last December, this thumping Tech-Trance crossover has been re-released on Sean's debut album this month along with 13 other fantastic tracks that feature influences ranging from intense psy-trance, powerful melodic uplifting, tearout Drum & Bass, liquid, downtempo, and breaks to say the least. This track stands out as one of my favourites, as it proves that Sean Tyas' musical influences range from far places that all add up to make Trance great. Not much melodic content in this one, as it's a pure heads down filler track which could fit well into any Trance set in the higher BPM ranges. I would personally love to hear more tracks in this vain being created and played in Trance sets, as it adds for great diversity amongst more melodic tunes.

Pedersen & Farid - Going Back (Area51 Remix) [Elliptical Sun Energies]

With support from the likes of Aly & Fila, Armin van Buuren, Dan Stone, Daniel Kandi, and Manuel Le Saux, this remix release of the label's first catalog entry did an exceptionally good job at showing how a great melody can be transformed into equally special pieces of art by two quality producers. My personal favourite out of Mhammed El Alami's more soaring, uplifting take and Area51's tech-tinged version has to be the latter, as it provides a great "hands in the air" breakdown moment before flipping back in to rolling Tech grooves and teasing the brilliant melody back in. Played by Dan Stone at The Gallery last month, this remix just pips it to the post, however I have to also recommend the equally brilliant Mhammed El Alami remix as well.

Cold Rush & Mhammed El Alami - Aviana (Original Mix) [Always Alive Recordings]

In case you haven't heard of these two amazing talented artists before, I suggest you check both of their respective back catalogues, particularly their recent works. Both have an excellent winning formula for quality, powerful melodic trance and here they put their heads together to make 'Aviana', released on Daniel Kandi's Always Alive Recordings. Driving, straight forward grooves carry this monster along with rhythmic rolling basslines and an infectious main melody which sends the climax into pure, soaring euphoria.

Lewis Duggleby & Mark Landragin - Rotation (Amir Hussain Remix) [Digital Society Recordings]

Another excellent offering from Amir, this time in the form of a remix for Trance Sanctuary promoters Lewis Duggleby and Mark Landragin. Amir's sound has been a big inspiration to me as of late, with his excellent layering and EQ placement to create a beefy, driving and anthemic sound that has proven to work great on the dancefloor. Completely changing the key from the original and providing plenty of tension and a rewarding main section, this interpretation of the excellent original shows how Amir can effortlessly remix a track to make it his own.

Allen & Envy And Allen Watts - Vega (UDM Remix) [Together Recordings]

Released in its original form at the beginning of this year and picking up support from the likes of Armin van Buuren and countless others, the Leicester duo Allen & Envy's own 'Together Recordings' delivers this remix release which adds further diversity to the excellent melody in the original. Dmitriy Uskov aka UDM's remix is my favourite out of the package, with thumping drive and huge lead sounds making it perfect for any peak time set.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Together recordings continues to impress with its current release coming from Dreamy who is one of the most trusted and climbing high trance producers. The track is called Just Run and is definitely one of those tracks that when you play it on your car stereo you want simply to run as fast as you can. In other words manages to bring inside you that sense of urgency and intensity that only trance can offer to its listeners. Straight to the point composition that follows the uplifting trance pathway with added acid layers, heavy aggressive basslines and fantastic breakdown with heavenly opera female voices, cinematic dreamy atmosphere followed by the massive euphoric synthy stabs that lead the track to its full on hands in the air pure and honest climax.

Together Recordings continues to supply the hottest floor weapons with the the incredible ‘Screenshot’ from Q-W-E-R-T-Y!

The Original Mix is the perfect peak time roof raiser. Roaring bass lines and power packed drum rhythms underpin the mix against razor sharp arp melodies and rippling synth patterns to really energize the crowd. On the break, intensity levels are sent skyward as the hook lines unfurl, twisting the atmosphere to breaking point before unleashing the drop - MASSIVE!

Finally, Rymania seals another essential Together Recordings release with a classy, synth laden banger for the main rooms!

Not to be missed!



Dimitri Kechagias review: Together recordings manage within a short amount of time and handful of releases manage to attract the interest of the trance community as a result of  its careful selections. The latest one comes from the new project   Q-W-E-R-T-Y and the massive uplifting hard trancer Screenshot. The package is supported by 3 additional equally strong remixes. The original mix is a straight forward hard uplifting trancer with tough rough beats, heavy and driving basslines, acid infusions and superb long breakdown with incredible calming atmosphere that slowly builds up the tension until the beat to kick back for the full on euphoric climax that will keep happy and excited every trancer worldwide. This is what I call a super intense trance experience. Vlind remix is a great hybrid of uplifting with tech trance that is banging, booming with playful basslines and  clever stop and goes effects plus some vocal snippets. The breakdown is very atmospheric while the climax is bass focused and ultra rough. The uplifting trance section comes at the very end of the track to keep every trancer pleased. Daniel Skyver never fails to impress and on this one he does marvellous job. His version is straight to the point pure uplifting trancer with acid overtones to keep the proceedings underground. The breakdown is very emotional with melancholic piano chords and huge euphoric synthy leads that raise the tension and hands in the air. His climax is full on hands in the air with the epic synthy on top of the rough and heavy driving basslines. Last but not least Rymania remix is even harder and heavier than the previous 3 versions. The beat sounds really gigantic and the basslines are thunderous. The breakdown is very cinematic with epic strings and ambient atmosphere. The build up drives the track towards its full on hands in the air climax that will keep us jumping and wobbling around. Quality productions of pure underground trance goodness. Love IT

Together Recordings delivers another impeccable, intensity drenched workout for the after dark crowds with label bosses Allen & Envy joining forces with Adam Deane for the absolutely massive ‘Anarchy’!

The Original Mix brims with raw power and hair raising harmonics in equal measure. Sub rattling kick drums, rasping bass rollers and energizing percussive rhythms drive the floor perfectly, whilst the biting hook lines and hard edged synth drops will take crowds to the edge every time!

On remix duties, Steve Morley delivers an action packed workout for the main rooms, before Johann Stone provides a real no-nonsense tech twister that will ignite any floor. Next, Andres Sanchez is on hand to bring his uplifting sound to the package with a real crowd pleaser before Project 8 seals the release with a super atmospheric, synth laden rework that is not to be missed!

                                                      





Dimitri Kechagias review: The unstoppable record label Together recordings presents the brand new banger Anarchy produced  by the label owners Allen & Envy vs Adam Deane. The package is supported by 4 exquisite remixes. The original mix is a great mixture of tech trance with uplifting trance sounds. Its most distinctive element is the massive hands in the air epic melody that gives you the illusion of being in a state of Anarchy with protesters all over the place and people demonstrating for the right to party hard. The climax is super fat and furious with razor sharp basslines punching in your stomach hard. You can easily imagine the crowd jumping around and enjoying themselves. The well known producer Steve Morley provides his full on euphoric trancer that is straight to the point and targets the trance fans who like it pure. He recreates in a very electronic way the main synthy riff and the result is epic and feel good to the maximum. He even applies a very nice shouting female vocal that you can hear in the background and adds to the atmosphere of the whole track. Johann Stone reshapes and reworks the original with aggressive rough basslines, pumping jumping beats and quite industrial sound. Johann delivers the very playful, adrenaline charging and energizing translation. For me the finest remix on the package comes from Andres Sanchez who adds superb spoken vocal samples about the theme of Anarchy of course in his long and very cinematic breakdown. The climax can not get any harder and more uplifting so prepare for the take off cause this remix is about the raise the roof. Pure uplifting trance pleasures to make you dream and dance. When you will play it, you know that is very hard to stand still. Last remix comes from Project 8 that is an excellent modern uplifting trancer with edgy tech trance sounds and hi-nrg driving basslines. It will please the pure uplifting trance fanatics for sure. Love iT

Dimitri Kechagias review: The very successful record label of Allen & Envy reached its 6th release. Project 8 presents its mouthwatering composition Enigma so better get ready for an awesome unforgettable hard uplifting banger that will smash the house and drive mad all the innocent souls that will be exposed to its influence. First of all is the original mix that is  hard tech  trance to its fullest and most stunning. It sounds like an army of millions soldiers attacking the unsuspected enemy. The breakdown is the moment that the huge rave style distorted synthy leads appears and will cause mass destruction. Its the kind of melody that goes into your nerve system and energise your senses instantly. You don't need pain killers after that I can assure you cause the only thing that you will feel is the heart throbbing bass and cracking beat.
