He kicked off 2010 in emphatic style with the almighty Wildflowers EP and continued throughout the year with stunning remixes for the likes of 7 Skies & Kiholm and Vast Vision, as well as further glorious singles and now he signs off the year with yet another outstanding release; yes, 2010 has well and truly been a fantastic 12 months for the immensely talented Suncatcher.

November 1st and Lightshow yet again display this man's ability to produce utterly spine-tingling trance - packed with raw power and emotion - and you can see why over the past 12 month he's become a firm favourite of world No. 1 DJ Armin van Buuren.

November 1st is built upon the grittiest foundations we've heard yet from Suncatcher, with its thumping kick and snarling bassline, and his trademark pads building and building towards the blissed out breakdown and roof-raising climax.

Lightshow follows in a more typical Suncatcher style, with its pretty melodies, rolling bass and acid lines, making this a two track EP of the highest quality - each track deserving the spotlight.

Therefore, it's better to take your time and wait 'til you hear an outstanding trance anthem coming out of your studio speakers. Adam Kancerski honours the saying and now presents the follow-up to his 2009 track 'Who's In Charge'. Featuring the stunning voice of vocalist and producer Aneym, who's also worked with Tenishia, Aly & Fila and Nitrous Oxide, their 'It Takes Time' captivates you as soon as its melodic sounds take over your speaker. This is one tune to listen to again and again without boring even a second.

Still busy recovering from the all-destroying success of their 'This Night' single, duo Filo & Peri take charge of the remix for this mind-shivering track. Deep and sturdy, the Filo & Peri remix of 'It Takes Time' fulfills all needs a true trance fan could ever have: it's got emotion, flow and a true hands-in-the-air break! Let it take you over.

"This is just the beginning of the beginning" has always been the motto of Dutch sound-creator Thomas Bronzwaer. If you take a peek at the long list of his previous successes, you know there's something big coming up. His first solo production 'Close Horizon' saw the light of day back in 2005. From that very moment on, his career ended up going in no other direction but straight up. His 'Resound', 'Look Ahead' and 'Certitude' filled countless floors and appeared on mix albums by big names like Armin van Buuren and John O'Callaghan. After staying with the beloved A State Of Trance label for a couple of years, he's now paying John O'Callaghan's Subculture imprint a visit. And you'll agree - his latest double release, 'Galaxy' and 'Still Waters', is indeed big!

On Thomas' latest EP, two tempting instrumentals await you, full with layer over layer of stunning synth-lines. 'Galaxyrise' is an archetypal uplifting-piece, one to take you away. With the melody-line in the front it's pretty different from 'Still Water', which has a lively background. They say 'Still waters run deep'. The same goes for Thomas' track, as it's moving, melodic and emotional. Since all of that is just the beginning of the beginning, you better be sure to keep an eye on this Dutch talent!

One thing's certain. Whenever Dutch producer Mark Sixma disappears, he always returns with a new M6 cracker of a tune. After a few weeks of radio-silence and long days in the studio, it doesn't take long before the next track-surprise awaits us. Presenting uplifting anthems like 'The Rising' and 'Opus Spectrum', taking us down the dark road of minimal and techno influenced masterpieces like 'Deep Inside' and 'Into The Unknown', is Mark's specialty. While his tech-trance collabs 'Genesis' and 'Inferno' are still destructing international floors, he's ready to sweep them with a new solo production: 'Days Of Wonder'.

'Days Of Wonder' is the clear evidence of Mark having a sixth sense for breath-taking melodies. An odyssey into darker sounds, sliding down the road of a bittersweet, uplifting trancer, without over-doing with effects. 'Days Of Wonder' shows us that musical miracles still happen.

Not only will the original version of 'Days Of Wonder' be a highlight to thousands of clubbers and trance-junkies, it's also the remix of Estonian talent Rene Pais, better known as DNS Project, that'll do its work on the floors. He gives the track a well-deserved big-room treatment.

Fast on the heels of the Beyond Horizon & Snowflake EP, Hydro Aquatic is doing some quick fire dancefloor releases here in the Monster camp. Back with another two track EP, we're hugely delighted with this recent follow up offering that delivers yet again some energetic moments and spine tingling euphoria so accustomed with Hydro Aquatic's style.

Crossfire is 1st on the list, with a thumping beat and driving gritty bassline, plucked melodies ensue, with deep lush pads building the crescendo into a peak time monster. Heavens Divide is on the subtler side of life, with a nice chunky beat and warm, solid, grooving bassline that drops into a piano solo merging with a catchy uplifting trance riff that immediately puts a smile on your face.

Continually getting the nod from the biggest DJs on the planet, it's no surprise that Hydro Aquatic is developing into a very consistent artist here on Monster.

Aly & Fila's beloved label became famous for the very best trance sounds, captivating melody-addicts from all across the globe. But who says the music on the Future Sound of Egypt needs to have its origin in the famous country for pyramids and pharaohs? The latest release certainly states the international character of the label. Nowegian production FKN, known for his Aly & Fila collab 'How Long', back in 2008, teamed up with Russian duo Aurosonic. Supported by the stunning voice of singer Trine, the four of them created a wonderful vocal piece called 'You & Me'.

Profiting from small housy influences, very warm sounding and with a catchy melody-line written all , 'You & Me' is a special release on the label that is actually known for big break-downs and dramatic build ups. We're talking about musical open mindedness. And don't you worry, cause even if a big break down is missing on this sun-drenched release, it's the quality and positive feel that makes 'You & Me' stand out.

An outstanding EP to recall a bit of a summer feeling.

DJ Shog and Megara put on their 'alias' masks once more to deliver the Golden Coast second single. Techtrance beats leading to a big vocal breakdown and a bigroom liftoff. If you like your trance uplifting this is an essential tool.

Part of the Magic Island family, we've found the productions of Swedish producer Kim Svärd on Roger Shah's 'Music For Balearic People' compilations twice already. After his debut track 'You & I', released in late 2009, he's back with a new, lovely production, 'Manne's Song'.

Like his previous release, 'Manne's Song' balances things out between uplifting and Balearic trance. Melodic, summery and absolutely stunning, it builds up a tingling piano-line to a huge soundscape. Whoever craves more of those effects is more than welcome to check out Kim's 'Emotional Mix'. On that one, he extended 'Manne's Song' to a dramatic, heart-felt trance piece of emotion.

Georgian producer Nuera unpacks the guitars on his remix of 'Manne's Song'. His translation sits at the deeper end but delivers uplifting moments in the same drive. A female vocal hailing from the back and soft progressive elements on top of all happenings turn this rework into an unusually diverse EP, which definitely deserves to hit the stores as the 50th release of Roger's beloved Magic Island Records!

This is the first release from Pulse & Sphere newly signed to Nu Communicate Recordings.

A man of many aliases, Rob Stevenson aka Activa resumes his Solar Movement guise and return to Anjunabeats – home of 2009 release ‘Eclipse’.

Bright, sunny and uplifting, ‘Indigo’ is a perfect sonic respite to the cold winter months with a breakdown that comes alive with ethereal vocals, climbing synths and a classic chord progression.

Known to Anjunabeats for his pacey, groove-fuelled remix of Bart Claessen’s ’90 Nights Of Summer’, German producer Robert Burian turns in a pumping and powerful remix that beefs up the groove and takes a quirky twist on the original melody.

Rising star Chris Melton makes it an uplifting trance hat trick by adding some striking piano motifs and interesting twists.

After arriving with a bang at the beginning of the year with his Regulus E.P, American producer Accendo makes the step up from our Future imprint with another massive original in the shape of Memory Lane.

After picking up support on every major radio station the world over we were anticipating great things this time round, and boy did he deliver. Once again the production quality is second to none with an immaculate finish, scintillating plucks and pads, and another big sawing bass pattern at the epicentre, a signature sound Accendo is now becoming known for.

Man of the moment Suncatcher makes a return to the label after the huge success of his Juventa remix which dropped in May. After an action packed year, most of which has been with outstanding original tracks and remixes, he finishes 2010 on a high with another storming remix.

Infrasonic favourite Anhken completes the package and really makes it own with another big room re-work, packed full of quality and signature sounds.

The American is on the money once again!

Deetron, Octave One & Jori Hulkkonen put their hands on some Brikha classics! In 1998 Aril Brikha reacquainted the world with deep techno soul, as his record Groove La Chord crossed generic boundaries. Is it techno? Is it house? Is it deep house? It's everything and nothing. Groove La Chord is simply timeless. No one was more surprised about the success of Groove La Chord than Brikha himself - after all, he'd originally presented it on his demo as a potential B-side.

Two years after he recorded Groove La Chord, Brikha heard it in a club for the first time - Derrick May pulled it out in Chicago. Aril then realised it was a good track. The renegade always walks alone. We are more than proud to present Aril´s own label, Art of Vengeance with it´s first Release (and now listen up!!) GROOVE LA CHORD REMIXES. Deetron is the one to put his hands on this piece of classic.

Next on Art of Vengeance: the re-release of departure in time including a second cd full of unreleased tracks and the much sought after Vinylversion of one of techno´s best albums!!! To be released in January 2011!

Massive Release And Artist Combination On Dmom, Pfirter With An Amazing 'Original Mix' And 'Alex Bau`s' Remix! BIG!

As someone that wears many hats, including DJ, label owner, producer and radio presenter, Anja Schneider has certainly been juggling them all very successfully this year. Currently on a busy touring schedule in South America and Asia celebrating five years of Mobilee Records, before leaving for the road she also put aside some time to get back in the studio and produce a brand new EP, mobilee072 'Pushin'.

Whilst she worked on her most recent productions such as 'iThought' and 'Something Left' with Kiki, and also 'Shinkansen' with Lee Van Dowski, this time she partnered once again with Paul Brtschitsch, with whom she co-produced her debut LP 'Beyond The Valley' in 2008. Famed for playing dj-sets that always come with a powerful bass and sexy groove, 'Pushin' is the perfect production equivalent of Anja Schneider´s club performance.

The title track comes with a soulful vocal, whilst 'Strong Way' is intended as a female interpretation of the same track. Meanwhile, 'I Don´t Feel Anything' takes you on an eery ride with whispered utterances. Enjoy!

Every Cow Has A Bird lights up the room when its played. Layered with jazzy piano medleys, undulating percussive drums, staccato cries and jubilant whistles, it has feel good stamped all over it.

On the flip Bueno is more intrinsic, marked with an innate feel. Penetrating the senses with round textures and hungry vocals, it is still stamped with Guti's trademark jazz pianist style.

Jim Rivers is a DJ and producer that needs very little introduction and he makes his Dieb Audio with a powerful, old school tinged production entitled "Junk". Jim has displayed a huge range in style and scope in his studio work this is evident in the bulk and variety of his discography. His recent foray into classical, dancefloor friendly techno has yielded impressive results and garnered widespread recognition and praise. "Junk" is a prime example of this direction.

We've put together another impressive supporting cast for this release drafting the mighty Roberto Rodriguez to provide us a standout, deep, emotional journey of a remix as well as newcomer and man to watch, Teva, who turns in a superb, bumping, jacking groover of a remix that rounds up the affair with a bang!

Coming fresh off the back of the mighty 'Triton', and as an appetizer for the long awaited and monstrous (like you wouldn't believe!) album pack "Luna", due March 2010, Stephan Bodzin & Marc Romboy present a collection of incredible remixes.

Reading like a Michelin stared menu, the remixers gathered are producers that Stephan & Marc appreciate and admire greatly. Joris Voorn 'Callisto', Gui Boratto 'Atlas' and Oxia & Nicolas Massayeff 'Luna', all lend their talents to serving up a delectable array of delights.

Over the past year, Tiga has released a series of remix 12”s from his 2009 album Ciao! The ambitious project includes some of the most respected and sought-after producers in dance music. The final installment – “Love Don’t Dance Here Anymore” – features two remixes by Michigan City legend Carl Craig.

“For these remixes, I looked to Titans. Standing on the roof of my greenhouse, I called out, ‘Hey you, get off of that impossible cloud and into my car. We’re gonna drive all night ‘til we hit Remix City!’

“It goes without saying that having Carl Craig remix my song is an honor. And this song is particularly special to me because it was written in such a traditional way. It was just me, Gonzales, a piano, a bottle of wine, a bottle of shampoo, and a handful of conditioner. It’s the kind of song you listen to alone in the Sheraton Business Center, wistfully savoring a Skor bar and reflecting on what might have been.”

Tony Blunt is possibly one of the most versatile and imaginative producer who gave the Spanish electronic music school. His productions range from the melancholic and rhythmic, always influenced by his beloved and revered Detroit. On this occasion Pulsewith Records is pleased to present new work by Tony Blunt, an exercise in good taste, maturity.

Not for lovers of cheesy or obvious, this work, first produced from Blunt's new residence in Shanghai, demonstrates that holds a great way and is able to express themselves through different styles at an incredible rate. You´ll like it or you´ll hate it, but we're sure they will not leave you indifferent.
