REVIEW: Alex M.O.R.P.H. - Running For Peace on VANDIT

Flux BPM Administrator

13:19:00

Yup, it’s that one! The one Mr. M.O.R.P.H.’s been pinnacling his sets with - gig-in, gig-out - throughout the summer. The one, which has been lighting up forums and festivals alike, and the one that Armin awarded Tune of the Week status to on ASOT882. And… the one that’s remained conspicuous by its summer-long release schedule absence!

Setting that to rights this week and joining the eminent ranks of his other 2018 floor-whackers (‘Ambush’, ‘Breaking Dawn’, ‘Magnetar’ and ‘Summer Love Story’ included), Alex’s ‘Running For Peace’ is finally released today.

Whether you’ve been into trance for 12 weeks or 20 years, we’ll bet you haven’t heard anything quite like Alex’s latest masterpiece. Vocally, an intricately complex swirl that runs the full expressive gamut, it’s by turns lamenting & haunting, resolute & determined and – finally – spiritually & soulfully uplifting. A track that’ll pull you in a thousand different emotional directions, its lyrics up the ante again, layering intriguing meaning on intriguing meaning.

To equal this unique song, studio-side Mr M.O.R.P.H. digs deeper than ever. His rich production draws in chords, pads and key changes, which brilliantly track and mirror every exactingly sung vocal twist and minutiae lyrical turn. Employing a string section that wouldn’t disgrace the New York Philharmonic, he teams them with wondrous synths from deep within the studio’s machines. Collectively he brings the track an extraordinary post-break conclusion - one that’ll stay with you long after the record’s run out or night has passed.

Electronic music production elevated to high art; a track as emotional and real as anything you’ll hear this year - you can lay hands on ‘Running For Peace’ from today: click here

[item value="10"]Alex M.O.R.P.H. - Running For Peace[/item]

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Alex M.O.R.P.H. is one of the few producers and DJ who remain faithful to trance music even when everybody was turning its back to the genre in order to cash in from quick EDM productions. Running For Peace is an example of powerful euphoric hands in the air massive uplifting trance based on big orchestral theme in the breakdown that can even make you cry and feel totally immersed in its brilliant atmosphere. The build up is intense as the orchestral melody becomes the main synthy theme along with heavenly style chorus voices leading to the euphoric climax that allows the basslines and banging grooves to stay at the front and the melodies sounds like taking back seat but still euphoric to the max. The release includes the Club mix that has a very strange vocal that sounds melancholic and dark but thankfully the single has the instrumental version for those who would love to enjoy the melodies only. #PureGold Love iT [/content]

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Mark Sherry collaborate for the stunning Magnetar. When track is released on Paul van Dyk's imprint you expect premium quality track and this is what you get on Magnetar. Energetic pumping rough furious and very dynamic production that melts uplifting trance elements with tech trance crunchy rolling basslines, thumping drums, pumping grooves with percussion to die for, energetic synthy riffs and breakdown that is truly cinematic with magical atmosphere and great memorable synthy hook slightly distorted and pitched until the huge synthy hook is unleashed to bring goosebumps while underneath break beat foundation travel the mind to a higher dimension.

REVIEW: Paul van Dyk & Alex M.O.R.P.H.- Breaking Dawn on VANDIT Records

Flux BPM Administrator

20:36:00

When Paul van Dyk and Alex M.O.R.P.H. team up in the studio, it's always a guarantee for emotional yet banging trance. 'Breaking Dawn', taken from van Dyk's latest album 'From Then On', is no exception.

This track sounds like the pink, orange and purple light that warm's your face when you step out of the club after a wild rave at 6 in the morning

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Paul van Dyk and Alex M.O.R.P.H. have been at the forefront of the trance scene with golden trance classics. Their collaboration Breaking Dawn for Paul's latest album is a magnificent slice of straight to the point uplifting trance that has all the needed and trusted elements to make crowds go ballistic. With driving basslines, pulsating pumping drums, acid overtones and superb melody that is optimistic and hopeful and translates well into music the feeling you get when you experience the Breaking of Dawn. The breakdown is very emotional and touching with the very nice theme replayed with chilling like twinkling bells piano chords while underneath huge swirling synths building the tension until the rise of the massive synthy stabs that will excite and give shivers from head to toe .

REVIEW: Alex M.O.R.P.H. - It Is Full Of Stars out on VANDIT

Flux BPM Administrator

04:07:00

Having engaged Skylex’s services for last month’s DJ Mag “8.5/10” scoring, “on fire” treatment of his & Eric Lumiere’s ‘Heart Of Life’, the one and only Alex M.O.R.P.H. gets straight back into the thick of it this July.

The first new music to come out of the German’s studio, post the completion of his 2016 ‘Not All Superheroes Wear Capes’ album, the release ushers in a major new era of M.O.R.P.H.-ism!

When Alex says “It Is Full Of Stars”, you don’t have to be an Aldrin or Gagarin to recognise what he’s talking about. Extending VANDIT’s current run of intergalacticly themed, titled and visualised expeditions (‘Serenity’, ‘Miles Away’ and ‘Cerulean’ among them), the track is - to its intents and purposes - focussed on the skies above.

As ever, Alex channels equal parts creativity, artistry and authenticity into its production. Percussive skip, business-minded beats and acidic curl collectively engage its drive train. Higher up the range, the lucence of ‘Stars’ sub-melody, its calling vocal harmonies and intuitively judged & delivered mainline bring it genuinely galactic properties.

Endorphin-coursing, floor endorsing and (yup!) Mighty M.O.R.P.H.-in’, elevate mind, body, soul and spirit through ‘It Is Full Of Stars’ available through Beatport here. Or catch a listen here:

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]VANDIT records is one of those historic trance labels that you can easily trust blindfolded. The beloved legend Alex M.O.R.P.H.delivers his super awesome and #JUSTPERFECT uplifting feel good beauty It Is Full Of Stars. It's the type of trance tracks that make you feel like skysurfing in the most exquisite summer sky that is of course full of bright hopeful stars. Quality production with melody that crawls under your skin and transmit through your brains signals of happiness and enormous dynamism. Tough banging drums, driving exquisite basslines and synthy colorful hooks that inject with feel good energy that will last all summer long with melody that comes in your mind whenever you dance under sky Full Of Stars. #PureGold #ThisisTrance Love IT [/content]

REVIEW: Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Paul van Dyk - We Are out on VANDIT records

Flux BPM Administrator

04:02:00

We are not lost. We are not afraid. We are not filled with hate. We are the most technologically advanced civilization in human history and we will not be cowed by ignorance nor fear-mongering. We are loving. We are strong. We are one.

The time is right to join together in peace and humanity. “We Are” (VANDIT) is the new collaboration from trance kingpins, Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Paul van Dyk. “We Are” is out now.

The Original Mix of “We Are” kicks-off with a hard-hitting 4/4 beat and booming, low-end bass that makes bodies move. The energy and excitement of the track gradually build in layers as synthesizers stealthily enter with their minor-chord commotion until….bang! Melodic progressions of sunshine-filled synths arrive while distorted stabs add accent and the energy builds. By the time the bassline fully appears, listeners know they’re in for something exceptional. It’s a testament to Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Paul van Dyk and their innate skill at reading a crowd that the first big chord change utterly grabs one’s attention. Here is a track to remind today’s EDM-saddled youth what quality electronic dance music really is and why so many people fell in love with this sound in the first place. “We Are” is electronic dance music as it should be, at its purest and best. “We Are” unlocks something within the listener’s brain and commands the body to react in a reliably ecstatic way. The Radio Edit of “We Are” takes the essential elements of the original and boils them down into a tight package suited for radio.

About Paul van Dyk

One of the most beloved DJ/producers and electronic musicians of this generation, GRAMMY®-nominee Paul van Dyk is as respected by his peers as he is revered by fans. As a youth growing up in East Berlin before the fall of the Berlin Wall, van Dyk’s earliest musical influences came from listening to pirate radio and smuggled mixtapes originating from the West. Intoxicated by the forbidden sounds emanating from a world just beyond his grasp, van Dyk would years later be on an unstoppable path towards conquering every earthly continent as a widely admired creator of electronic dance music. His timeless anthems include such classics as, “For An Angel,” “The Other Side,” “We’re Alive,” “Tell Me Why (The Riddle),” “Nothing But You,” “I Don’t Deserve You,” “Time of Our Lives,” and many others. With six full-length studio albums and several mix compilations to his name, including the critically acclaimed Politics of Dancing series, van Dyk carves time to program and host his own VONYC Sessions radio show airing on FM and digital radio worldwide each week.

REVIEW: Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Driftmoon - R2D2 out on VANDIT records

Flux BPM Administrator

04:16:00

A dedication to the new STAR WARS movie by Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Driftmoon - R2D2!

Dimitri Kechagias review: The exceptional trance record label from Berlin strikes back with another full on high energy proglifting number produced by the safe hands of Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Driftmoon. The track is called R2D2 and is of course one of the biggest big room trance anthems out right now with exotic female vocals in the breakdown, big sharp uplifting euphoric synthy hooks and magnificent rough, raw, hardstyle infused basslines and banging booming full on drums. The breakdown is ethereal and cinematic with that blockbuster feeling and the sound design that has such attention to detail that is impossible not to visualise in your imagination this magical atmosphere. The climax is rough and furious so better get ready to move and jump with hands in the air and let all the inhibitions go! Embrace the Sun, come closer to the speakers, We are United! #PureGold 10/10 Love It
