Pre-save the release here: https://lnamusic.lnk.to/echos “This one might’ve been in us from the start”, says John Hancock. He’s talking about ‘Echos’ – his, Becky Williams, Finn Bjarnson & Ryan Raddon seventh Late Night Alumni longform. Predominantly known for blending electronic and organic elements into their music, the album represents a departure from the band’s largely house-led sound. An all-acoustic affair, in many ways though ‘Echos’ is a natural extension of LNA’s DNA. “Most of our songs”, John continues, “are written in the organic/acoustic realm and then produced with electronic flavours to create our sound. In those intimate song beginnings though, there’s a magic all its own. We’ve long wanted to do an album that captured and augmented that initial intimacy.” Which

Listen to the release here: https://blackhole.lnk.to/wearesiskin 18 months is all it’s taken for Siskin to have gone from here-and-there … to pretty much everywhere. They’ve brought shows, sets, singles and EPs to all four corners, but what you haven’t yet heard from the duo is a fully-fledged album … So let’s do something about that! In its fullness, ‘We Are Siskin’ might go down as the perfect longplaying debut; one without a vocal, lyric, arrangement or note even remotely out of place. That’s entirely due to the extraordinary artistic connection shared by Sue McLaren and Suzanne Chesterton. It’s one that saw them define their sound with their very first release and then emphasize it with every one that’s followed! At Siskin’s heart lies a kindred sistership, however there’s also

Listen to the release here: https://blackhole.lnk.to/chasingdreamsalbum No, your eyes aren’t deceiving you … This is indeed the second XiJaro & Pitch release carrying the ‘Chasing Dreams’ title in 2023. Underlining the importance the mantra holds for the Dutch/Belgium pairing, it heralded not only their first single of the year, but also now their first longplay foray. On Sept 8, the duo cap the summer off with Volume 1 of their ‘Chasing Dreams’ mixcomp.

ACTIVA – MOVEMENT (V.01) | REVERED PRODUCER ROB STEVENSON LAUNCHES MAJOR NEW MIXCOMP SERIES

202ny.com, 657deejays.com, Bassnation.nl, Featured, Hammarica Network, NEW RELEASES, Promo, Promo10, Promoted Post, TRANCE, Trancefam.com

PRE-SAVE HERE: https://blackhole.lnk.to/movementone The last few years have seen a significant flurry of activity from the Activa camp, made all the more notable as it followed a period of pause for Rob Stevenson. Says the UK based DJ/producer, “there were a number of years where I no longer felt the same connection to what was happening musically within the scene. However, if the time I’ve spent in the industry taught me anything, it’s that music is cyclical. Everything comes back around. It was just a question of waiting till the time was right again.” For Rob and his music, that second coming’s been in full flow for several years now and reaches a new zenith with the July 2023 release of ‘Movement (V.01)’. Paradoxically, lockdown, proved to be the jailbreak moment for Rob’s more classi

BEATPORT AND JOHN 00 FLEMING COLLABORATE TO CURATE A NEW WAVE OF TRANCE MUSIC FOR THE PLATFORM

202ny.com, 657deejays.com, Bassnation.nl, Featured, Hammarica Network, NEW RELEASES, Promo, Promo10, Promoted Post, TRANCE, Trancefam.com

TWO YEARS IN THE MAKING: TRANCE (RAW / DEEP / HYPNOTIC) IS HERE! Beatport and John 00 Fleming usher in a new chapter in trance’s storied history, as the store launches Trance: Raw / Hypnotic / Deep – their second official sub-set for the genre. To bring greater fluency to trance’s always expanding spectrum, the move has been one that Beatport and John 00 Fleming have had in discussion for close to two years. Trance’s new denomination follows the success Beatport have enjoyed with their comparably designated Techno: Raw / Deep / Hypnotic category, which launched back in February of 2020. In a further shakeup, Beatport’s other major trance classification has been redesignated Trance (Main Floor), adding more clarity to the genre’s range.

PRE-SAVE HERE: https://blackhole.lnk.to/pp3 Progressive didn’t give birth to the mix-comp, but through the fabled likes of ‘Northern Exposure’ and ‘Global Underground’, it did elevate it to a higher form. With its eponymous album series, it is to these lofty heights that Solarstone’s Pure Progressive aspires. In order to reach them however, radical approaches have been required! Mixcomps and albums are works of art and heart, which their creators can pour months, sometimes even years into. However, to pull both off simultaneously, and as a dual-release no less … well, that takes a special kind! It is one with precedent though, as both Orkidea and Forerunners have previously delivered (in 2020 and 2022 respectively). Early last year, Solarstone laid the same challenge at the feet of anoth

PRE-SAVE HERE: https://blackhole.lnk.to/Satellites ‘Beside You’, Somna debut artist LP, arrived in spring 2020, fully equipped with all the elements necessary to ensure the artist’s big leap forward. Tour-ready and near enough bags-packed, Benjamin was set to take ‘Beside You’ to all the places he’d designed it to rock. Unfortunately, something else arrived in the spring of 2020, and that threw a mighty spanner in the DJ/producer’s works. Where there was a will, there was a way though, so Somna laterally adapted ‘Beside You’s plan … It is somewhat fitting ARRIVING MAY 12: then that its follow-up, ‘Satellites’, pays tribute to the saving grace of its forerunner… And in a word, that was Streaming.

PRE-ORDER HERE: https://blackhole.lnk.to/prism4 It’s crept up on three years since we last received a mix-comp transmission from Planet Outburst and the science of hard has been left just a touch wanting ever since. However, as April beckons, that drought breaks, and Mark Sherry pours three new mixes through the ‘Prism’. For ‘Vol.4’s, well, DJ-wise it’s a case of the established, the new … and the returning. The Outburst boss has brought Ireland’s Renegade System in to helm one of its discs, while after Vol.1, arch techno-logist Alex Di Stefano is back, making a second guest-mixing appearance in the series. Collectively the trio bring a mass of toughened sonics to its fore, with the release pushing upwards of seventy tracks over its near-four-hour runtime. In and amongst all that highly c

PRE-SAVE THE ALBUM HERE: https://pure.complete.me/oscillate A creative outlet must be one of the healthiest aspects of our existence, so, it would stand to reason that a creative outlet of a creative outlet could only amplify that. That, in essence, is what Robert Nickson’s done with RNX – an alter-ego/altered state that he’s been dipping in and out for a decade or more. Blood runs deeper-than-deep between Robert/RNX and Solarstone’s Pure Trance Recordings. Since the latter’s formation, Robert’s aired no fewer than 17 productions through the label. Among them have been RNX mega-sellers ‘Colorado’ and ‘Atoms’ and his RNX revision of Solarstone’s ‘Rain Stars Eternal’.

PRE-SAVE HERE: https://blackhole.lnk.to/OnwardsUpwards Long before lockdown, Dennis Sheperd was way ahead of the conversational curve, addressing the areas of mindfulness and mental wellbeing through his 2015 album, ‘Fight Your Fear’. Given that six years elapsed between that LP and 2021’s ‘Find The Sunrise’, you could be forgiven for a sense of surprise at the speed with which he’s achieved ‘Sunrise’s follow-up. It’s not been an exactly quiet 365 for the producer from Essen, Germany either. Aside from peppering its course with precursor singles, he’s also mixed an ‘In Search of Sunrise’ disc, co-hosted this year’s Trance Retreat @ ADE and toured all four corners of the globe. Some of the follow-up’s rapidity however may have been born of necessity. Artistically, stylistically and
