The shimmering fire that is Aly & Fila just doesn’t stop. Keeping it fuelled with tracks like ‘Eye of Horus’, ‘Lost Language’, ‘Listening’ and ‘My Mind Is With You’, the label owners, producers and DJ’s enjoy an ever-growing fan base. At the end of 2010, the duo present the first “Future Sound of Egypt” compilation, which also featured their new single, “Paradise”.

An electric energy, Tiff Lacey’s soothing voice and an epic break with classical influences ‘Paradise’ offers everything an everlasting trance anthem needs. All of that is underlined by Aly & Fila’s characteristic sound, expressed by addictive melodies and pumping beats in the back. A bit of trance paradise indeed.

Dutch producer Ruben de Ronde leaves his footsteps in the warms sands of Egypt with his remix of ‘Paradise’. After ‘Forever In Our Hearts’ and Robert Nickson collab ‘Superlative’, he went down the prog-trance road with this remix, giving an extra smooth and flowing sound to “Paradise”.

For the past few years, eyes of the EDM scene have been staring at Ireland with great pride. The emerald isle became more and more famous for its many producer talents, extraordinary trance and progressive masterpieces. A prime example and something of a leading light amongst these happenings, is the owner of the successful Subculture label, John O’Callaghan. The number one Irish DJ and producer is looking towards the release of his third artist album and the many promising singles it will bring. To keep the clubbers moving in the meantime, he decided to bring in an outstanding collaboration as the official first single of his ‘Unfold’ album. For “Talk To Me”, he teamed up with the prog-house duo of Timmy & Tommy. The guys know more than well how to give the scene a good stir, given their previous releases ‘Full Tiltin’, ‘Ascension’ and ‘Check This Tilt’.

“Talk To Me” is a big, growling attack on the senses. Prog sounds make you want to move, while trancy influences smoothens things up with a softening atmosphere. Touched with a splash of haunting vocals to make things even sweeter, these three Irish men are true tension-seekers, leading you to a hammering pay-off that'll make you move!

On the flip-side, British producer Robert Stevenson a.k.a. Activa presents his ‘Solar Movement Remix’. His rework puts ‘Talk To Me’ into a softer light, touching all thing's trancy. Norway’s finest, Ørjan Nilsen, presents the second remix of this package. In between producing his album, he once again shows to be more than capable of handling remix-duties. His Trance remix has all the essentials: a strong build-up, powerful release in the break and a highly contagious rhythm.

No matter which version you need, if you're in it for a big dose of energy, “Talk To Me” is your dancefloor essential and a promising one for the upcoming album to unfold in April.

Argentina knows how to party. And they also know how to get one started. With the right music. Matias Faint and Agustin Servente need no instructions to tear down the roof of a club. Under their Heatbeat guise, the duo has moved the global crowds with tracks like ‘Vergatron’, ‘Mr. Walrus’ and ‘Geek Love’. Keeping their options open and ears out to diversity, they now present a new guise, Stacker. And Stacker now presents a staggering new track, “Eternity”.

Anyone into the tougher side of trance will love “Eternity”. Strong elements, an intense build-up and a bouncing, deep bass make this track a peak time example of the famous, distinctive VANDIT sound. “Eternity” gets you going, anywhere, anytime.

Hailing from the US, sound-creator Tom Colontonio focuses on “Eternity”s mainline, presenting a slightly smoother version, without losing the original energy, on the flipside.

Jaco’s Beautiful Days saw huge support from the likes of Armin van Buuren and Above & Beyond, making his first Enhanced release one to remember. Now the talented Norwegian is back with a fantastic 3 track EP.

Kicking things off is the upbeat Excuses. A slick production that's full of energy and a clever breakdown that doesn't detract from the pace of the proceedings.

Never Again, very much like Beautiful Days has a absolutely gorgeous breakdown, whilst the track is carried by its huge sidechained bassline. Karma rounds off the EP and shows this is a 3 track outing of equal strengths. Beautiful pianos and soaring pads build the break to its climax with yet another well crafted main hook from Jaco.

Russian producer Evave is next in line to make his debut on InfraProgressive with a stylish three part E.P, packed full of cutting edge progression.

Headline track About Time encompasses everything a good progressive trance track should have in its locker, with its lush bottom end and string pattern just two of the elements that really give the track real atmosphere and depth.

One Word To You and Do Wonder complete the E.P. Similar in the style to About Time but packing more punch, both tracks are wonderfully groovy, with some beautiful vocal chops and atmospherics once again adding real quality to the package.

A fantastic E.P to kick start 2011!

David Forbes gives it a good spin of musical variety, setting forth a sound swirling of house, trance and progressive. Coming together in the two-track collaboration with Alan Nimmo, one half of the legendary Team SR and Signalrunners team-ups, as they bring in a new, extraordinary blend of music on the Soundpiercing label.

Exploring instrumental depth, the guys present a cleverly build ‘Ko Tapu’, an energetic, prog-house driven masterpiece. ‘Galapagos’ comes in 2 shapes, the original and the ‘Alternative Mix’. No matter which version you play, you'll find that they're both equally soothing and deep. However, if you prefer the edges to be a little less rough, the ‘Alternative Mix’ will tease your ears.

Maltese duo Tenishia looks back on an outstanding 2010. Joven & Cyprian became Malta’s most successful DJ and producer duo, with sold out club nights and special performances in several tv shows. But that's only the beginning of their impressive story. Tenishia closed down the year with the third Malta Music Award for “Best Dance Production” in a row, this time for “Stranger To Myself”, with the lovely vocals of Aneym.

They say to never change a winning team, and that's why the new release of Cyprian and Joven once again features the beloved voice of Aneym. “Man In Denial” is a heavy-weighing, deep bassed club stormer. Anemy’s hopelessly addictive vocal and layer over layer of melodies come together in a perfect combination of everything essential to blow your mind.

On the remix, British DJ and producer David Forbes shows to be handling musical diversity. Based on powerful synths, he translated ‘Man In Denial’ into a deeper version, without losing any of it original atmosphere.

One of the trance scene's true stalwarts, Mike Koglin has been pushing the sound forward ever since he burst onto the scene with his top 20-charting anthem “Silence” in 1998 - a cover of Depeche Mode’s 80’s synth-pop classic. Collaborating with Above & Beyond’s Jono Grant on tracks like 2004’s “Circuits” and 2005’s “Sequential”, Koglin has remained a close friend of the Anjunabeats family ever since and returns to the label with the unique “Sunstar”.

Opening on a cool, choppy electro bassline, “Sunstar” builds up the intensity before leading into a serene but soaring breakdown layered with heavenly, wraithlike vocals, epic pads and “Sunstar”s instantly recognisable melody leads. Dropping unexpectedly back into electro nastiness for a clever curveball, “Sunstar” steadily shifts back into melodic magic for an uplifting finale.

Offering a more direct trance-energised remix is Euphonic’s Ronski Speed. Nudging up the bpm a few vital notches and adding some warping electrified synth lines, Ronski builds a ripping groove and leads into the familiar soaring melodies of the original with power and pace.

Keeping the EDM machine going with soulful productions such as “Waiting For The Sun” and “Cut & Run”, is Estonian producer Madis Sillamo. Providing nothing but the warmest beats and on-fire melodies, he’s keeping things alight with a new release. Making you surrender to the dreamy, angelic voice of vocalist Emma Lock, once again, Beat Service delivers another jewel with “Not Out”.

A little mystery, tenderness and intangible prog-trancy depth come together in this S107 release. It's got everything a good, contagious trance track needs, including that warm-blanket feeling, rushing towards you as the beat kicks in.

Remixing’s Beat Service previous single “Hiding To Nothing”, makes UK producer Xtigma no stranger to the sound. His remix of ‘Not Out’ got a little more groovy on the edges, touching the big-room feel without losing the intimate feel of the original. Estonia producer Kaimo K, on the other hand, focuses on the harder, more up-tempo side of ‘Not Out’, turning it into one big piece of energy.

Very few tracks in 2010 shook the core of dancefloors worldwide bigger than “Sky Traffic”, the smash hit produced by Romania’s Adrian Ivan under his Mr. Pit guise. The dust has barely settled, but he is back with another double EP that harnesses bagfuls of momentum in its own right.

Stamina has been established as a regular Global DJ Broadcast World Tour player, featuring in the Bucharest and Best of 2010 Toronto editions. The track is much in the same vein as Sky Traffic, a big room melody embroiled in a huge dose of tech-influenced trance. The original mix suits those who like their melodies throughout, and the club mix is available for that necessary dancefloor groove.

All eyes in Coldharbour have been fixated on Prague in recent times, most notably for the release of Markus Schulz's Transmission theme “Future Cities”. In that very same set, one of the highlights proved to be ‘Overload’, with the Czech faithful in awe of its throbbing bassline style.

Both tracks are built and primed for the dancefloor, and as the clubs across Europe and North America begin to reopen after their Christmas break, Stamina and Overload will provide precisely what the clubbers want.
