ACCENTER + THREE O
Analog Defender
Hot Score
The latest release for Austrian's Hot Score imprint contains two extremely uplifting hard trance productions. Although "Religion" is quite a cool number, it's "Analog Defender" which is the better of the two. Definitely worth checking this two tracker out. Quality.
BLUTONIUM BOY
Make It Loud
Blutonium
Germany's Blutonium label have always been a reliable name for Hard Trance and this latest release from label boss Blutonium Boy is certainly no exception. With three mixes on offer, the DJ Neo's Hardstyle Mix is the best in my opinion. Expect huge DJ support for this one!
DHHD
Rush
Straight On
The debut release for Straight On (owned by DJ Luna) features two fantastic hardstyle numbers. While "Rush" on the A side is quite intense, the Prodigy sampling "Funky Shit" is guarenteed to blow your mind. What an amazing release.
DJ CHOOSE
Release Me
Drizzly
The latest release from the Drizzly comes from Danish DJ Choose. Release Me is a mind blowing trancer that already has received strong DJ support and with in the vein of “Instant Moment” by ROOS, this will be played for months to come.
EUPHONIC FT LISA ABBOT
Far + Away
Unit 3
Euphonic has released quite a few quality productions of late, and here he kicks off London’s Unit 3 label. With a very uplifting remix by German’s protégé of uplifting trance Alphazone, and an excellent vocal based original, this is mental.
FRAKKAR
Push / Emergence
Functional Breaks
Release number nineteen for Exeter’s Functional Breaks comes from welsh legend Frakkar. With two tunes on offer, it has to be said that although Push is cool, it is the amazing Emergence that gets my vote. Quality warm up material.
HIGH VOLTAGE
Bombs Away
Sys X
Instantly being recognisable by its distinct "Acieeed" vocal, this Dutch hard trancer has already found its place with a wide variety of DJs. Featuring some hard as nails percussion, dirty synths and vocals that punch away at the speakers. This is amazing.
JOEL KEY
Second Contact
Megahertz
OK This release is a bit of an old one but it has to be said that "Second Contact" is one of the most twisted trance productions that i've ever heard. Featuring a synth riff from hell, this is LUSH! Fantastic!
LUNA VS TRILOK + CHIREN
Hear Me Now
ID+T Hardstyle
Luna + friends produce another blinder this month. “Hear Me Now” is an amazing production with a kick strong enough to behead a saint, while “We Control The Sound” features a riff so twisted that you’ll demand it to be spun again! Noiiiice!!
MARCOS + JAY WALKER
Nightfinder
Active Media
Over the past year, any production with Marcos or Jay Walker's name on it has been worth checking out and this uplifting trancer from Active Media is no exception. Both mixes are guaranteed to be played all around. Highly Recommended!
MIND CONTROLLER
Mind Controller 2003
Sys X
After damaging our ear drums with the amazing “Bombs Away” this month, Holland’s finest Hardstyle export returns with this two tracker. With two extremely evil mixes to choose from and acapellas provided for good measure, this is incredible! Full Marks.
MUZIKMAN
Satellites
90 Degrees North
Following on from “Nightmare Theme” by Marcos, this catchy little number is guaranteed to work wonders. With an uplifting Original mix and a deeper and aptly named Eclectic Mix, I’d put money on this release getting spun by all the big names.
NOWHERE BOYS
Feel It
Toolbox
The latest release for Jay Cox and Nik Denton’s Toolbox imprint is a thunderous hard house number, with an energetic Original Mix that features some cool synth work and a darker and harder remix by Nik himself, this is good.
OFFCAST PROJECT
Into The Light
Reign
First surfacing in the UK in 2001, Scottish wonders Reign have decided to Re-Release this melodic hard trance number with remixes from Miss JMA and Trevor Reily. The results are fantastic with each mix being hard to resist stomping to! Brilliant.
OVERDOXX
Fuck You
Skull Tunes
You just have to admire a tune with a name like this, especially when it's a slice of German Techno! Both mixes of "Fuck You" are sublime with the Original being more percussion based while the Boris S mix takes on a more melodic approach. Check it out!
SUBSOLA
So Pure
Polar State
Originally surfacing on POW Recordings back in 1998, this trancer has found it way onto Holland's prolific Polar State imprint and with two new mixes from Matti Laaminen and Ferry Corsten, you'd be a fool to miss this one. Excellent stuff.
SUPASOUL
Got To Go Disco
Bubble Gum
Produced by Olivier Abbeloos (of C-Mos fame) and DJ Ken N, this funky debut for this Belgian imprint has three excellent uplifting house productions and a DJ tool included as well. If you like your house you will love this! Quality.
TRANCE GENERATORS
Wildstyle Generation
Future Sound Corporation
Those Italians just keep making tune after tune and like their release from Radium at the end of last year, this is another hard speaker attack with fantastic MCing. Japanese legend Yoji Biomehanika provides a trancier re-working on the flip. Sublime.
