Trance Family Lebanon

After months of isolation and only the digital world to connect through with family, friends and fans, PvD is finally back with brand new musi

If ever there was a moment for Pure Trance to take a year off, it has to have been the least dancefloor-friendly one of the last century.

Having released the - by degrees - clubbier and more immediately Khvaleev-esque ‘Inhale’ in October, November 26 sees the yang to its living & breathing yin arrive.

Arriving a full decade after his last LP (2011’s ‘To The Point’), ‘Origins’ - released Oct 1, is the third album from UK artist Rob ‘Activa’ Stevenson.

Authored by Dutch writer Arjan Rietveld, and based on three years of exhaustive research and interviews that sit alongside his personal reflections on the subject, the book is the most definitive account yet of the music’s history.

It’s here - the first Chapter of Cosmic Gate’s new dual album release drops onto stores and streams today. Following the release of their ‘20 Years – Forward Ever, Backward Never’ LP in 2019, the GRAMMY nominated duo are again set to challenge the conventional thinking of what Cosmic Gate ‘are’.

Right on cue, August 27 saw the musical mark of high-summer return, and ready to soundtrack peak season with three more sunrise-portraying mixes!

On August 20, Cosmic Gate will release the first stage of their hotly anticipated new artist album. Trailed throughout the early parts of 2021 by vanguard single releases and stunning live streams, ‘MOSAIIK’ will platform nine sensational cuts from the GRAMMY-nominated duo.

Given its ‘Chapter 1’ prefix, at least something of what was to follow could be divined. With Mr. Fleming playing most of its cards chest-close though, the track’s arcane meaning still had a whole lotta unknown to it.

When it comes to premium music-compilation series, there are few better indicators of merit than hitting double digits. Prizes, praises and plaudits all have their place, but in the realm of mixcomp, nothing beats enduring popularity.

It’s been seven years - and some long ones at that - since Solarstone last designed and constructed an ‘Electronic Architecture’. While ‘EAs’ 1 thru ‘3' maintained a regular release pulse, with each year that followed 2014, the series’ absence has been felt ever more acutely.

Illustrating former Flashover Recordings lynchpin Celwin Frenzen’s label vision further this month, Gundamea (aka German duo Stoneface & Terminal) return, bringing us the ethereally spellbinding ‘Back For More’.

With their Miami Best Of 2020 set taking just three months to become the group’s most popular YouTube upload to date (over 2.2 Million views and counting!), livestream culture’s now second nature to Cosmic Gate.

The gateway to May sees VII turn loose ‘Dusk Till Dawn’ – the label’s hotly anticipated fourth double disc music comp.

The latest remix to come from the DJ/producer is a certified rinser that is primed for dancefloors the world over. Monumental in all aspects, the tune is sure to be yet another hit in Above & Beyond, Armin van Buuren, and Sander van Doorn’s back-catalogs.
