[item value="10"]Talla 2XLC & Gid Sedgwick - Forever Young (YORK Acoustic Mix) [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The YORK Acoustic Mix of Forever Young by Talla 2XLC & Gid Sedgwick is a stunning transformation of the iconic trance anthem into an intimate, piano-driven experience. Stripping away the high-energy beats of the original, Torsten “YORK” Stenzel crafts a pure and emotive acoustic interpretation that allows Gid Sedgwick’s vocals to shine in their fullest emotional depth. What sets this version apart is not only its musicality but also its remarkable impact on mental health and overall well-being. Research has consistently shown that slow, melodic piano music can reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and improve mood. A 2021 study published in Frontiers in Psychology found that listening to calming piano compositions significantly decreased cortisol levels and promoted relaxation in participants. Similarly, a 2022 review in the Journal of Positive Psychology revealed that music with gentle tempos can enhance mindfulness and emotional regulation, making it an effective tool for stress relief and mental restoration. The YORK Acoustic Mix aligns perfectly with practices like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness sessions. According to a 2020 study in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, integrating soft instrumental music into yoga classes increased participants’ sense of inner peace and improved overall session satisfaction. This track’s delicate piano phrasing and emotionally resonant vocals create a serene atmosphere ideal for promoting mental clarity, introspection, and a sense of timeless calm. In essence, Forever Young (YORK Acoustic Mix) is a therapeutic companion. Its combination of emotional resonance and scientifically supported benefits for stress reduction makes it a powerful addition to wellness routines, yoga classes, or simply moments of reflection. This is music that heals, uplifts, and reminds us of the beauty of staying forever young in spirit. #Pure Gold, Love iT.

Earlier this month, Audien released ‘One Last Dance (Acoustic Version)’, the 2023 follow up to the Grammy-nominated DJ and producer’s early 2022 hit featuring Australian vocalist XIRA. Today, he unveils the official ‘One Last Dance’ music video as a gesture of gratitude towards his devoted fanbase for their unwavering support through his musical journey.
‘One Last Dance’ is a story of heartbreak, born out of the tough times Audien experienced during the pandemic, and this stripped-down rendition stunningly amplifies the song’s pure, heartfelt emotion. Audien says, “‘One Last Dance’ really warranted an acoustic version. Often demos contain the true magic of the song so to be able to put that out into the world feels like a treat.”
The official music video poignantly captures the essence of the record, portraying a passionate yet turbulent relationship marked by memories of lost love and better times. Viewers are taken on a visual journey, beautifully weaving through vignettes of early love’s intoxicating high to the shattering heartbreak of a relationship falling apart. Watch the official 'One Last Dance' video now via Armada Music TV.

About Audien

American DJ, record producer, and musician Audien hails from Mystic, Connecticut, to a musical household where his mother is a jazz aficionado. In 2008, he was introduced to electronic dance music through trance songs in video game soundtracks. Fascinated by the sound of trance, he learned to recreate songs from Armin Van Buuren's A State of Trance podcasts. Following the release of his first single "Rise & Shine'' on Ferry Corsten's label Flashover Recordings, Audien continued with a string of releases on Anjunabeats, Armada Music, Spinninʼ Records, and Astralwerks. Since then, Audien has established himself as a fixture in the dance community, known for his production prowess and unique propensity for uplifting melodies. In 2015, Audien signed to Astralwerks and released his debut EP called 'Daydreams' with the track "Rooms". He received a 2015 Grammy Nomination for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical for his remix of the Bastille song, "Pompeii". In March of the same year, Audien released the single "Insomnia", which peaked at number one on the US Dance Charts. His 2015 track "Something Better" featuring Lady A cracked the Billboard Top 40 in Pop Songs — marking Audien's first appearance on a pop chart. The track had already gone to number 1 on Billboard's Dance Club Songschart in September. The following years solidified his signature sound and garnered the support of industry veterans with tracks like "Crazy Love" featuring Deb's Daughter, "One More Weekend" featuring MAX, and a trap-influenced collaboration fusing melodic & heavy components with 3LAU titled "Hot Water". At the same time, Audien continued on a path of dominance and worked with the likes of Echosmith on the track "Favorite Sound" while creating timeless remixes of songs by Coldplay, Halsey, Nile Rodgers, Jess Glynne, and Calvin Harris. In September 2017, Audien released his debut EP titled 'Some Ideas' on Astralwerks. The three-track EP contains a variety of genres, including "Rampart" which is a collaboration with hardstyle producer Gammer and "Message" whose sounds are reflective of past Anjunabeats releases and familiar Audien tones. In 2018, Audien returned to Anjunabeats with his release of "Higher", followed by "Never Letting Go" with Arty later that same year. In November 2019, Audien released his debut LP ʻEscapism' — a definitive effort encapsulating both Audienʼs signature style and his dominance in the dance landscape which included hit songs “Reach” featuring Jamie Hartman and “Buzzing” with Nevve. Audien is no stranger to hard work, and has continued to release music while honing in on his signature sound and style. In 2021 he signed with Armada and put out 3 singles — one of them being "Wish It Was You" with Cate Downey that has brought energy and emotion back to the dance floor. Look for Audien to continue on a path of progressive house and melodic trance in 2023 and beyond.

Above & Beyond are a phenomenon unlike any other in dance music. Grammy-nominated songwriters, they are the only British dance act to sell out Madison Square Garden as DJs, and yet are about to take an 18-piece band set up on a sold out tour of the world's most iconic concert halls: including London's Royal Albert Hall, Sydney Opera House and Hollywood Bowl to name just three. 

A show described by Billboard as “one of the finest in dance music history”, the tour - and accompanying Acoustic II studio album - represents yet another against-the-odds landmark in the unique story of Above & Beyond. Venues that normally take years of hard touring to reach are sold out on only the band's second acoustic tour - you are left wondering: just how do they do it? 

The secret is in the songs. Sung back at them by thousands at their celebratory DJ sets, Above & Beyond's tales of life, love and loss have soundtracked weddings, proposals, hikes up Everest, marathons and funerals - stories which are tweeted and emailed in to A&B HQ each week. The lyrics have been plastered on festival signs, provided solace for fans in hard times and have been tattooed with pride by thousands of fans.



Following last year's critically acclaimed electronic album, “We Are All We Need”, Above & Beyond Acoustic II revisits several of the best loved songs from that album and as well as classics from Above & Beyond’s wide back catalogue and reworks them for concert halls rather than clubs; breathing new life and context into them.

Under the supervision of musical director Bob Bradley, the legendary trio have reworked a total of 13 tracks into rich, string-laden band arrangements that reference Portishead, Angelo Badalamenti and movie soundtracks with a uniquely Above & Beyond idiosyncrasy.


Reaching back into their individual musical histories, each member of Above & Beyond performs different parts of the arrangements, including Jono on Rhodes, Tony on guitar and vocals, and Paavo on grand piano. Celebrated A&B collaborator Zoë Johnston sings on re-imagined dancefloor anthems like “We're All We Need” and “Alchemy”, and is joined by a host of other contributing vocalists from Above & Beyond's past and present. Completing the ensemble, string quartets and percussion sections provide a big room feel of a completely different kind.













Full Tracklist:
1. Hello
2. We’re All We Need
3. On My Way To Heaven
4. Save Me
5. All Over The World
6. No One On Earth
7. Black Room Boy
8. Peace Of Mind
9. Sticky Fingers
10. Alchemy
11. Counting Down The Days / Liquid Love
12. Blue Sky Action
13. Another Chance

[review top="1"]
 [item value="10"]Acoustic II sampler 1[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Above & Beyond decision to turn their big electronic music anthems into acoustic tracks for audiences to enjoy in music halls and iconic venues maybe is going to be their most important decision that will change their career and will place them in the hearts of many fans above and beyond the rest. In the digital age with some software and samples anyone can produce high quality music but Above & Beyond prove that there is life in electronic music tracks after their performance in clubs and festivals. Hello is the absolute catalyst to change your perception and make you aware of what is coming in the rest of the album. The moment that all singers create that chorus harmony and sing Hallo will stay in your hearts. We All We Need is another fantastic song that Zoe proves how well she can handle it in live situations and she really sounds so magical within the cinematic magical atmosphere. The production is so classy and delicate that stays in your heart for long. The beloved Justine Suissa sings the awesome Another Chance recreated as big vibrant colourful uplifting epic anthemic cinematic James Bond like song with great sound effects like the clock ticking and the xylophone melodies. This is magical to say the least! The 2nd sampler includes Blue Sky Action that particularly for the album is performed by Alex Vargas who proves that he is a superb talent that  you can rely on to deliver epic performances. Brilliant lyrics delivered with so much expression and emotion that touch you deeply without doubts and the brand new arrangement for the album adds that cinematic uplifting feel. No One Earth is performed by the beloved Zoe in a totally different sound-scape that brings Jazz elements and Angelo Badalamenti influences as well. Romantic, erotic, touching and new arrangement that elevates the track to the next level that you should listen to believe it that's  for sure, #PureGold Love It[/content]

The Grammy nominated trio Above & Beyond surprised the electronic music world in 2014 with their decision to perform their beloved electronic music songs mainly produced through digital technology with 15-piece band  at London's famous Porchester Hall and at The Greek Theatre in Los Angeles. The YouTube video of the event hosted at Thump has around 3.150.000 views so far and it is big joy to watch it again and again particularly when you need inspiration and motivation to move forward. When they announced that Acoustic is back with 2nd instalment this year their fans went absolutely obsessed with the idea and the tickets for the majority of the shows in Europe, USA and Australia have sold out. What is more this time Above & Beyond have changed their supporting vocalists and except Zoë Johnston they have added Justine Suissa, Cobi, and Natalie Holmes. Also as supporting opening act they have added the beloved Solomon Grey well known with their collaboration with Lane 8 on Diamonds. One of the latest days added in this magnificent tour was the iconic venue Albert Hall in the music city of Manchester. I tried  to send  emails and phone around people to see if I could find a ticket to attend this show as its is close to the city of Leeds that I'm based. Just 2 hours before the start of the actual show on Sunday 1st of May I got a tweet message from Solomon Grey band who have told me that they manage to arrange access to this Sold Out event. The excitement was immense as one of my dreams was about to turn into reality and after 1 hour and half thanks to the frequent trains between Leeds and Manchester I manage to reach the iconic Albert Hall and be on time as Solomon Grey went at the stage.





Solomon Grey thanking their audience
Solomon Grey with simplicity and subtlety 
Solomon Grey is the band and composers Tom Kingston & Joe Wilson. They long awaited album Solomon Grey was  released in March with critical acclaim and their fanbase grows gradually everyday with shows booked in various parts of the world. Certainly  Solomon Grey sounded .the best choice as supporting act for the Above & Beyond acoustic show tour for several reasons. The most important for me are (a) the strength of their magnificent songs that sound like being  composed in another galaxy and been transported on earth, (b)the memorable melodies supported with their very individual way of singing them with lyrics that talk straight to your heart and (c) the minimal set up of their performance. Just imagine two guys with synthesizers and some samplers that create the mystical atmosphere that move your spirit instantly to somewhere else. Their performance was a big revelation for me as I was mainly aware of them through their collaboration with Lane 8 and the magical Miradors released on Anjunadeep. Musicality and perfect harmonies combined with cinematic strings, electronic synths and incredible ambience that uplift your moods and heal the woods. Certainly their big struggle  to manage finally to record their debut album is mirrored in their arrangement, is echoed in the melancholic singing and the high class of the final result that justifies music as art and not only as product that can be packaged and sold. The menu of their performance were songs that warmed our hearts and brought  certain spiritual bond between the various strangers that compose their audience. Overall what I will always remember from their performance is the minimal electronic set up that could bring so much enjoyment and magic perfectly placed before Above & Beyond acoustic show.





Around 8.45 Above & Beyond asked the audience to refrain from recording or taking photos with cameras or phones as one of the shows most probably in USA will be recorded and will be better for the audience to let themselves go with the flow of the music and get immersed with their performance. The stage was a  very different set up from the ways that I get used to see them live in events like Creamfields, Tomorrowland and Nature One. Last year Above & Beyond performed Sold Out  dj set at Albert Hall in Manchester so their return in this venue but with an acoustic set up was real treat for their North England fanbase. The stage was crowded by wide variety of live musicians playing instruments that could enhance Above & Beyond songs with that cinematic epic uplifting atmosphere.  Jono Grant and  Paavo Siljamäki played the piano chords while Jono played also some strings and xylophone while Tony McGuinness leaved his rock star dream with his incredible acoustic and rock guitars that he played during the various songs.The proceedings started with the brilliant Hello that has been totally revamped into an uplifting acoustic piece with all the singers taking part as one voice saying Hello to the audience who was eager to enjoy every single second of this performance.  They took us by surprise nobody was expecting something so strong from the beginning so they started applauding with great enthusiasm at the end of this uplifting intro. 


The mesmerising Zoë Johnston
Zoë Johnston's touching performance
Rather than documenting this event track by track I would prefer to give my feelings about each singer and their incredible heartfelt performance. The first singer to move at the forefront was Zoë Johnston and you could say that her presence and very emotional voice has been associated with Above & Beyond without doubt. Her incredible live performance of We’re All We Need, Save Me,  No One On Earth and most significantly Good For Me was absolutely revealing of her simplicity and ability to connect with her audience in a such deep and meaningful way. Because of the difficulty on some moments to place her microphone on the stand, she had to hold it in her hands and this definitely added extra warmth and tenderness to the final result. The audience was singing along with her and they were absolutely mesmerised from her ability to add a different take on the already  known songs. The cinematic arrangement and the powerful sound  often associated with bands like Portishead encouraged the audience to get transferred to other spaces. She gave you the impression that she doesn't sing for a big audience but she rather addressing her singing for each of us. Zoë Johnston wins her audience with her simplicity, down to earth attitude and her  confidence in her vocal abilities that were manifested in this very demanding performance. 






The new revelation: Cobi
Cobi... on the way to heaven
Rock infused moment from Cobi's performance















           



New revelation at the Above & Beyond acoustic II tour is the singer Cobi who came to continue where Alex Vargas has left on Acoustic I. He was wearing a brilliant suit giving me him extra class and finesse that doesn't pass unnoticed particularly in the female audience.  The task was very difficult for him as he had to sing all the male songs like On My Way To Heaven, All Over The World, Sticky Fingers, Blue Sky Action, Thing Called Love and more. He was shinning when he had to stand at the front of the stage and in some moments he even added a rock concert touch by doing what rock group singers usually do to bring extra excitement and drive the audience out of their heads. His voice has the sensitive side that Above & Beyond songs require without loosing his manly stamina and adrenaline inducing moments that can make the crowd sweat as they sing a long and swept away in his strong arms. What is also very important is that Cobi didn't attempt to sound like the singers that have recorded these songs for the first time. He took the challenge in his hands and with bravery and confidence added his own spin to those songs with incredible highs and heartfelt lows by making you feel the feelings that these tracks convey like pain, sorrow, happiness, and despair. All the contrasting emotions were used from the available canvas in order to let those songs grow within the iconic Albert  Hall and make the seated audience stand up to shout and cheer. As it seems Cobi will be part of the next Above & Beyond album and we expect to hear him on songs written especially for his voice. His new single Darker Than Dawn is out now so maybe want to taste it. 
The Siren of The Sea at the Albert Hall stage: Justine Suissa
Ethereal Justine Suissa at Royal Albert Hall
The always perfect Justine Suissa
I must confess that I was excited because my all time favourite singer Justine Suissa has been added to Acoustic II and her performance was something that I was looking forward as her previous live performances were mainly in electronic music concerts that singers don't usually manage to realise their full potential with Armin van Buuren for instance. The acoustic  project was the perfect moment for Justine to come forward and mesmerise the crowd with her incredible voice. I was very anxious as I didn't want to be disappointed and thankfully Justin performance was above and beyond of any other performance from electronic music singer. Her magnificent retouch of the classic anthem Satellite that manage even to reach the UK Top 40, the incredible Another Chance and the concluding On A Good Day made me realise that Justine is one of those singers that deserve to have solo albums and be on the level of recognition of pop singers like Adele for sure. So much fragile sensitivity, emotional expressible, warmth and tenderness are difficult to discover in other female voices. Justine performance was reassuring, encouraging, supportive and some times very dynamic as well. She has the ability to animate so many pictures in our imagination when she sings and her performance at Royal Albert Hall manage to transcend us in magical spaces and faraway places without even moving one step. We hope for more material from her project Oceanlab soon.  

A name to watch out for, the ethereal Natalie Holmes
Second biggest new revelation of this incredible show was Natalie Holmes. Her  young youthful voice was mature enough to keep her at the level of the very experienced Zoe and Justine. Her performance of Counting Down The Days was mesmerising and her  ability to carry away the audience and allow them to discover the complexity and expressiveness of her voice was certainly noteworthy. Natalie with her inclusion in this acoustic tour places a big milestone forward for the development of a bright career in the future.


From the most incredible moments of the night I would like to pick up firstly Tony McGuinness amazing performance of the rock infused Black Room Boy that is considered to be one of the darkest and most socially conscious songs with lyrics that describe the harsh reality that many isolated people leave in front of their computer screen. His voice is definitely very expressive and he should consider recording more wonderful songs.


 Second fantastic moment was definitely when the colourful confetti explode and the whole place erupted with all the seating people standing up and start applauding them with big enthusiasm. It was fantastic climax that carried away all the fans above the stars. Thirdly fantastic moment was when the band prematurely they said goodnight and left but the crowd was so much into it that was shouting for them to come back and they did it of course with Paavo saying to the crowd that such a marvellous night with such a fantastic crowd can not finish like this and they carried on with couple more songs. All good things come to the end and in the same way this great show came to its closing point. Fans were demanding for more but certainly 2 hours live acoustic show  is very tiring and exhausting experience for the live musicians. This incredible experience will be remembered for ever exactly because  its duration was  long enough to satisfy you without loosing your interest and what is most important finished when you start developing hunger for great music and this is the perfect timing to finish.

The final bow from Above & Beyond to an incredible audience
Dimitri Kechagias review:
[review top="1"]
 [item value="10"]Above and Beyond Acoustic II at The Albert Hall, Manchester[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Overall Above & Beyond Acoustic II was an incredible show that was staged at Royal Albert Hall that could aid the  band to create an atmosphere that flirts with the audience memory and excites their curiosity by bringing arrangement surprises that reference film soundtracks and musicals. The superb atmosphere could surround you with wide variety of emotions that can trigger either laughing, applauding, screaming, shouting or even crying. The sound quality was crispy and clear and you could listen every single instrument played in perfect harmony while the lighting and the stage with the big screens at the top that you could see projections of the singers or even music videos related to the tracks were very well prepared and perfectly executed that any member of the audience would feel totally satisfied and most importantly asking for more. With film soundtrack references and big room acoustic sound it was one in a million live experience. I can not recommend you enough to attend any of the Acoustic II performances that may happen in a city near you and I would say that Above& Beyond should extend the tour with additional dates. More fans deserve to experience that! Thanks for this precious night all the people involved![/content]

Markus Schulz dropped the curtain on the 17-strong tracklist for his fast approaching artist album, ‘Watch The World’. Following the chart success of its vanguard singles, ‘Destiny’ and ‘Facedown’ (for which Schulz co-wrote lyrics), it sees the acclaimed producer assume an album songwriting role for the first time.

              Pre-order on iTunes                             Pre-order on Fine Night

Comprised of a hybrid of vocal numbers and instrumental anthems, ‘Watch The World’ (his sixth long-player; out April 29) features singers both greenhorn & experienced, known & new. Included among them are new team-ups with Delacey and Soundland’s Andrei Eduard Platon, as well as homecomings for ‘Scream 2’ singers, Lady V and Adina Butar. New talent plays a sizeable part too, with debuts from gifted LA-based nu-bloods like Brooke Tomlinson, Trevon Trapper and Ethan Thompson. 

From the irrepressibly uplift of the Mia-Koo-sung ‘Summer Dream’, the heartfelt anthem ‘Love Me Like You Never Did’ featuring Ethan Thompson and the transatlantic trance of ‘Rewind’ to deeper, inherently moodier numbers like ‘Let It Rain’ and Kyau & Albert collaboration ‘Fears’, ‘Watch The World’s frequencies reach right across electronic music’s range.

Fans pre-ordering through iTunes between now and April 29 will receive exclusive insights into Markus’ new album process. Running up to its release, instant-grat acoustic versions of five #WatchTheWorld tracks will focus the spotlight on the vocal & lyrical side of the album. 

It’s a Markus Schulz album that’s as different in approach as it is in result. ‘Watch The World’ is set to deliver bold music production, three-dimensional lyrics and joined-up songwriting - all at their level best.

Of course in the tracks included he collaborates with the awesome singer Lulu James that offers goosebumps from head to toe with her performance while the incredible Solomon Grey delivers precious moments with his delicate super classy super incredible vocal abilities. We Rise higher when we are exposed to magical sounds like this one. #PureGold Love it [/content]

1-Here Tonight(Acoustic mix)

A shattered glass left a broken heart
a thousand miles and nowhere to start
but I won't let this pain deceive us, and hide this feeling
I can't break this love between us, we'll survive through healing

 I won't waste, this, love, here tonight
and I'll embrace, this, love, here tonight, here tonight and if I break, my, bones, in the fight
feel the love inside us here tonight, here tonight, here tonight

Dimitri Kechagias review: Here Tonight by Dash Berlin & Jay Cosmic is 100% anthem that was played on radio, clubs and festivals. One of the strongest element in its big success is the Colin McLoughlin vocals that are absolutely magical and deeply inspirational as well. The acoustic mix is the dreamy relaxing version that calms the senses and minus the heavy beats and euphoric synths allow us to focus on the human voice that will cast a spell on you without doubts. Great strings, cinematic arrangement that elevates the whole track to the next level and I can easily imagine this version being included in a film soundtrack or tv series. #PureGold Love IT
