Paul Van Dyk stays true to the classic roots of the genre on “Duality”. Goosebumps and feelings Of Trance Nostalgia is expected as you hear the entire track for over 3 minutes. Believe it or not, it is based on a book he wrote, entitled ‘Im Leben Bleiben’ (German for Holding On To Life), which helped him to overcome the sequels after falling off a stage in 2016. Fortunately, the 46-year-old DJ is back with a lot of vitality. “Duality” is the second single off his upcoming album, ‘Guiding Light’. Interestingly, the new visuals feature Merritt Moore, a quantum physicist and professional ballet dancer who let herself go enthusiastically with the rhythm.

Lotus Prime is back with another killer remix! Ingeniously, he raised the energy levels of Billie Eilish‘s “Ocean Eyes” by opting for Trance textures. Who would have thought Billie’s ethereal vocals match the new instrumentals to perfection… I can easily imagine festival crowds throwing their hands up in the air while they relish the pulsating bassline. Surprisingly, his attempt to fuse melodic/acid sounds with Dubstep is what makes this rework a unique banger. As one may expect, the epic build-up in full flow leads listeners to a deep hypnotic state. Give it a few seconds and I guarantee you’ll get hooked right away.

Marcus Santoro refreshes the melodic trance sound for Protocol Recordings with his new single “Blackout” ft. Lauren L’aimant. Santoro artistically leverages influences from progressive house, big room, and trance genres, which delivers gracefully undulating melodies, an uptempo BPM, and ethereal vocals. “Blackout” evokes the feeling of flying or floating, much like the trance tracks we grew to know and love in the early 2000s. This is Santoro’s second release on Nicky Romero’s imprint, following his debut “Shine” last year in collaboration with Sentinel. He’s already proven to be a talented and dynamic artist in the progressive sphere and beyond, so we can’t wait to see what Marcus Santoro has up his sleeve in 2020.

Founded by Nicky Romero, Protocol Recordings is one of the leading imprints for innovative house music; it boasts a roster of heavy-hitters complemented with immensely talented up-and-comers, all with a diverse range of sounds that are guaranteed to light up a dance floor. Marcus Santoro joined the ranks of Thomas Gold, Deniz Koyu, Raiden, Trilane, Maximals, Styline, and more with his first release “Shine.” Santoro, who has also released on Enhanced, Armada, and Flashover, got his start when his remix for Shapov & Trouze’s “The Way” on Axtone gained traction from artists and fans alike. Since then, he has performed in Australia’s most iconic venues as well as Tomorrowland Unite in Dubai, Transmission Festival, BAO Festival, Stereosonic, and many more. Keep an eye out for more trance-inspired music from Santoro soon!

Full of energy and emotion, “Save You” is probably one of the best songs ever produced by Trance master Richard Durand. Without a doubt, Christina Novelli‘s killer vocals make listeners’ hearts sing. Beyond this, the whole composition feels already like an uplifting anthem. Actually, fans of the Dutch Producer have described it as the tune of the year. Nevertheless, in my opinion, the new lyric video looks pretty basic, as it approaches a boring minimalist style. Despite this, “Save You” does not cease to be amazing. Frankly, the blistering melody and powerful synth blasts are epic. Sooner or later, I bet you will be playing this wonderful tune on repeat mode.
