[wp_ad_camp_2] JOOP (NL) found a minute in his busy schedule for us this week to share the tracks that are to be found in his latest sets! ØRJAN NILSEN – COPPERFIELD (Original Mix) [ARMIND] If you take the title of this track than certainly we can speak of some magic.

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] The man who shaped trance music into a live performance art returns this month with another high octane, apex-ascending floor thriller. On the Club and On Air Mixes, Giuseppe spikes ‘Lost For Words’ with seismic drums; sensationally plucked strings, hypersonic synths and a full spectrum of other big room components. To that Amba Shepherd (whose recent studio work includes tracks with Porter Robinson and Ferry Corsten) adds her
[wp_ad_camp_2] Oliver Daniel is not your average teenager. Passionate about music in general and with a fond interest in trance music, he spent years researching how to produce the music he loves most. When Oliver first began producing there wasn’t an all-encompassing resource for producing trance music. New producers therefore had to spend hundreds of hours online researching equipment, techniques and how to use Logic Pro, before even starting to

[wp_ad_camp_2] Preparing to orbit the Earth at the speed of sound, ‘Versus The World’ embarks on its journey with a salvo of Durand’s solo material. Personifying Richard’s characteristic tech-ish appeal, ‘Chopstick’ and ‘Sequence’ deliver adrenaline shot beats and hard-fired percussion loops, packing them against those tense, stormy Durand riffs. On ‘Stand Again’ Leah’s vocal cadence generates the uplift, while Richard’s production travels the track into distorted atomic big-room-boom territory. Packing

[wp_ad_camp_2] What will be the vision of Velvetine and how does it set itself apart from your other projects? The whole idea behind the formation of Velvetine was that of musical freedom. As much as Myon & Shane and I loved the music we were making at the time, we felt there was this whole other side of ourselves that we wanted to showcase. Something a bit more sophisticated and elitist, where the
[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] You are a trance DJ and producer from the US. Dubstep and electro seem to gain a lot of momentum Stateside, but trance still has its loyal following. How would you describe the current US trance scene? Dubstep & Electro have definitely taken center stage in a lot of ways in the US; it’s a good thing that more people are getting exposed to EDM.
