Rinzen takes the iconic Nelly Furtado original ‘Say It Right‘ and gives it a contemporary electronic music treatment. You may have seen his excitement and teasers on social media, and heard him play it in every set of his. Well, a few months ago Universal Music Group heard it and reached out to him to make it happen and today, we see its release. His remix amplifies the 2006 song’s energy, adding a cinematic and expansive feel. This remix is also part of a series celebrating Women’s History Month, with Furtado releasing remixes of her hit songs by various female and male producers.
The remix provides a modern, energetic, and cinematic take on the original’s atmospheric and hypnotic quality. It is already well received by listeners and often played by fans in their own sets and listening pleasures alike. The Los Angeles-based producer and DJ infuses the track with his signature style, known for its depth and atmospheric qualities. The modern pop classic is lauded for its artistic merit and commercial success. A remake like this furthers its infamy and offers a fresh new take on music this year.
A Cinematic Techno Artist
We love his energy just as it matches everything he puts into his music. His musical style is characterized by a blend of cinematic sound design with forward-thinking house and techno production. Additionally, he focuses on creating immersive and expansive soundscapes. Seeking to build entire worlds with his music, he also aims to awe-inspire and dedicate his work to the pursuit of wonder. He often curates a sonic journey with each set. Rinzen has releases on a wide range of respected labelings including mau5trap, Bedrock, This Never Happened, Yoshitoshi, and Desert Hearts.
What’s more, he is best known for his concept EPs such as Bend To The Light. His innovative releases demonstrate his skill in combining cinematic sound design with forward-thinking techno. Lastly, he shows no signs of stopping with headline dates across the US and world-class support from the likes of deadmau5, Richie Hawtin, and Rufus Du Sol. Catch him at the Greek Theatre in LA back-to-back with Ashibah in support of Lane 8 on October 4th.

Today, UK rising star Tommy Phillips reimagines Deadmau5 & Kaskade’s legacy song ‘I Remember‘ with minimal/ deep tech influences. It’s the classic track you know and love with a 2025 update. We see its fitting release out on mau5trap. He is known for blending early Chicago house with breakbeat energy, catchy vocal hooks, and a strong club-focused groove. So, his remix garners much praise and attention.
Firstly, ‘I Remember’ is the beloved, classic EDM track by deadmau5 and Kaskade. We owe its ability to evoke strong feelings of nostalgia and emotion to its intricate layers of synths and smooth integration of vocals. Now, Tommy Phillips comes in with his new perspective on the song. The breakbeat energy in the background is driving and commanding. Additionally, his version evokes dancefloor craze, perfect for nightclubs around the world. Still keeping the atmospheric vocals, he blends the progressive with his signature club-focused energy.
Support on the track began in October 2024 from Max Dean at Solid Grooves in Ibiza’s DC 10 and LA’s Sound Nightclub. Heavyweights Cloonee and Sosa shortly followed suit, playing out the track at venues across the world. Top UK labels including Ministry of Sound, Sony (Capitol), A&R from Disclosure’s team Disorder, and more reached out to Tommy within the same week as the first play of the track. What’s more, unofficial Soundcloud rips by fans of the track have exploded over the past few months, amassing over 100k plays. So much fan support/callouts definitely got deadmau5’s attention, where mau5trap found the song a home and an official remix. 
Hailing from Northampton UK, Phillips started producing music as a hobby when he was a student. He worked in construction before pursuing music full time. His dedication and hardwork for a decade finally launched him into the music industry. He sold out a South American tour. He even has an international tour ahead of him with music on well established labels, quickly cementing him as a name to remember. Garnering support from the likes of Jamie Jones, Max Dean, Sidney Charles, and Mau P, his work is also recognized by DJ Mag and BBC.
Listen to Tommy Phillip’s remix of ‘I Remember’ below, now available on all listening platforms.

After an indefinite hiatus that felt like an eternity to his legion of funk-loving fans, GRiZ has announced a new three-day music festival, Seven Stars, and its inaugural lineup.
The first-ever Seven Stars event is scheduled for October 10-12 in Arrington, Virginia, just south of Charlottesville. The beloved DJ, producer and saxophonist, whose career has spanned over a decade of genre-bending releases and festival headlines, describes Seven Stars as "a reflection of my life's work" and "a culmination of everything I've wanted to share."
The GRiZ-curated lineup features Subtronics, Of The Trees, Levity, Hamdi, INZO, Mary Droppinz, Maddy O'Neal, Disco Lines, Dr. Fresch, LYNY and EDM.com Class of 2025 stars Tape B and ALLEYCVT, among others. Check out the full lineup below.
Seven Stars Festival
The festival will feature three stages, including one called Ouroboros, which takes its name from an EP GRiZ released in 2023. Designed for afterhours raving under the night sky, it will come to life after the Mainstage's final performance each day.
Seven Stars, however, promises to deliver much more than just DJ sets. According to GRiZ's enthusiastic announcement, attendees can expect "secret missions and lore," workshops led by Kulabunga facilitators and the "shenanigans" that have become his trademark at other festivals.
Attendees will be able to partake in various wellness workshops and outdoor adventures like morning yoga sessions, guided meditations, nature walks and crafting. The setting itself—described as "green and natural, tons of trees, rolling hills"—seems chosen specifically to enhance this immersive experience.
According to the festival's website, Seven Stars was built on seven "pillars": Inclusion, Sovereign Self, Sharing, Leave No Trace, Curiosity, Kula (Unified Heart) and Bunga (Wild Abandon). You can read more about each here.
The Seven Stars pre-sale begins March 19th before the general on-sale on March 21st. Fans can now register.

It’s rare to find anyone more fluent in jungle and drum & bass than Michael Bailey. He’s the ultimate veteran – a dual force of innovation for both radio and electronic music since the late-80s.
Vinyl-obsessed and living in South London, Bailey got his start mixing hip-hop and house on various pirate stations before joining Energy FM, broadcasting impossibly futuristic sounds across Greater London. Operating from a cramped broom cupboard – sometimes not in the greatest condition, as he recalled on the 0860 Podcast with Fracture (2024) – he was never in it for the glamour. He was a true music junkie, driven by an insatiable need to absorb everything and share it with the world. 
Noticing his dedication, Kemistry & Storm invited Bailey to play at Metalheadz – a pivotal moment that led to a residency, European tours, and recognition as one of the UK’s top emerging talents. His momentum continued in radio, where his passion earned him a place on 1Xtra’s original roster – helming an underground drum & bass show that pushed the genre forward with deep selections and astute nuggets of information.
Bailey has also remained a constant presence at SUNANDBASS, the only artist in its 20-year history to perform at every festival. Now, for their milestone 20th label release, it feels only fitting that he makes his debut EP for SUNANDBASS Recordings. ‘Echoes From The Midwest’ circles back to his roots, echoing the house and techno that got him into the electronic music scene. It’s a tribute to the electronic sounds of Detroit and Chicago – which laid the blueprint for drum & bass in the UK. Crafted with analogue gear and a deep-digging approach to samples and synths, the EP delivers four rolling tracks laced with acid stabs, nostalgic strings, and deep basslines. Bailey envisions it as a reply message from Detroit itself – an imagined response to how the UK reshaped its sound.  
Now with a show on Kool FM, and his first full EP release on the way (it’s only been singles until now), it felt like the right time to check in with one of drum & bass’ biggest historians and contributors… 
I first discovered you on the radio, and you’ve been on it for decades – so let’s start there. How did you get into radio?
I was buying a lot of records and hanging out with a guy called Garfied, who was a go-to DJ in Croydon. On Thursday nights, we’d go down to his residency – he was supposed to play just soul and funk, but house music was creeping into the UK, so he played a bit of that too. I was into hip-hop at the time, but through him, I discovered house and everything around it. This was around ’88.
We became close friends, and later, when he set up his pirate radio station, Energy 87.9FM, he asked me to do a show. That’s where it all started.
What happened after Energy FM? You worked your way up the ranks.
Garfied had a crew of friends who were pivotal to me. One of them was Darrin, who was part of Garfied’s raving crew. His partner at the time, Jane Morris, was working on a new project – a sister station to Radio 1. Back then, it was called ‘Network X’ before it became 1Xtra.
Darrin knew I was DJing with Garfied and on pirate radio, plus I didn’t have an MC on my show – I was presenting myself. So he suggested me for a drum & bass show. Jane set it up, and suddenly, I was in the Radio 1 studios, in the basement, doing pilot shows. They’d just put a tape in and say, “Alright, do an hour.” I didn’t really know what was happening until two or three months later when they told me they had a show for me. That was around 2002.
A lot of it came from Garfied and his connections recommending me. The same thing happened with MC Flux – he introduced me to the Intanatty crew, who introduced me to Grooverider.
You became quite involved with Metalheadz – how did that come about? Was this before 1Xtra?
Yeah, that was around 1996. MC Flux introduced me to Kemistry & Storm, who were playing at Voodoo Magic at Equinox in Leicester Square – which was Moving Shadow’s party. Later, Storm called me up and asked if I’d like to play at this club. I had no idea what it would become since they’d only just started, but I said yes. I ended up becoming a resident at Metalheadz, playing almost every week.
I remember listening to you on 1Xtra, right after Fabio & Grooverider on Radio 1.
Drum & bass, especially back then, was never fully understood by the mainstream. But 1Xtra and Radio 1 were acknowledging it – Fabio & Grooverider had been on Radio 1 for years. Even so, we always felt drum & bass didn’t get the same recognition as other genres. It felt like we were in it together, like a team effort – we were the drum & bass contingent.
Imagine the 1Xtra Christmas party: me, Fabio & Grooverider, Crissy Criss, L Double, Flight, Sappo, Friction – what a team! We covered all kinds of styles, and it really felt like we were representing drum & bass. There was a strong sense of unity. We’d do show crossovers, and I’d even sit in for Fabio & Grooverider on their Radio 1 shows sometimes.
Did you feel quite a strong responsibility then?
Yes. I felt a responsibility to tell the story of drum & bass. I had a responsibility to expose different and new sounds. 
I like variety, and I want to hear it from all sides. I always felt my duty was to educate, reeducate, and go deep on things that people might not know. Me being the geeky DJ, I know who sampled what, and I want to showcase those things on my show, just to show how big this thing is. 
How has radio changed compared to back then?
Well, the younger generation is growing up on Spotify playlists now. That’s all well and good for listening to tunes, but what’s missing is the storytelling. There’s a lot not being said – things that could paint a fuller picture of the genres they’re into and help them dig deeper.
Back in the day, before hip-hop had a presence on radio, we were buying records and really embracing the physical forms music. Then we’d realize producers were sampling older records, so we’d go searching for the originals – that’s partly how the rare groove movement came about.
I think radio still has an important role in adding personality to the music and telling those deeper stories, rather than just following whatever’s hot on the dancefloor. It’s also an age thing – when you’re younger, you might just follow your friends to certain clubs based on hype, without thinking too much about the tunes. But as you get older, you start specialising, and that’s where radio comes in. It can say, “Did you know this?” or “Have you heard this?” It definitely still has its place.
Do you think the pendulum might be swinging back? Are people craving that guidance again?
Yeah, I think so. At the end of the day, it’s a DJ’s job to dig deep, discover new sounds, and bring them to the people. You follow DJs whose taste you trust, whereas Spotify just leaves you to wander and discover things on your own. DJs do the work for you – they find the gems and say, “This one. This is a sick tune. You need to know about this artist.”
I’ve always been passionate about exposing new artists, and I think this shift has been happening for a while – maybe over the last four or five years. Suddenly, I see more people getting radio shows, people who were just DJing before. They’ve realized the importance of having that kind of platform.
Yeah, there’s a lot of interest in radio right now. Plenty of stations seem to be growing – Rinse, NTS, The Lot, Subtle…
Yeah, I was on Subtle for a little while. I did a few shows, but it was just a brief stint. I’ve been on a few different stations over the years, but now I’m on Kool, which has been great. Honestly, I don’t think there’s another station on the planet with a roster like this – everyone’s on there.
And now you’re about to have this release on SUNANDBASS. What’s your relationship with them?
I’ve been going to SUNANDBASS since the very first one – I’m the only DJ who’s been to all 20 of them. It’s literally just me and the promoters who’ve made it to every single one. I’ve just kept going since the first year when DJ SS took me out with Formation Records. That year, it was me, Influx Datum, Shy FX, Twisted Individual, Skibadee, and of course, DJ SS. Since then, I’ve built a strong relationship with the promoters, and they’ve kept inviting me back.
I think the reason it works so well is their attitude. They’re some of the nicest promoters I’ve worked with, and that energy radiates through the whole festival. They weren’t even setting out to be promoters – they were just a couple in a position to make something happen. They gave it a go, and now it’s grown into this huge thing.
One of the organisers, Stefano, asked me to do a release for the label a long time ago. The thing is, I take forever to finish tunes. I’ve got loads of ideas, but unless something emotionally moves me, like with the song ‘For The Love’ because of Fats, it’s tough for me to complete them. But now, with more experience and having tested a lot of things, the timing feels right.
What inspired this one then?
I realised there’s a sound I really want to do, that isn’t being done that much. It’s a similar thought process to how I do my radio shows – like when I play classic jungle tracks alongside their original reggae samples, for example. No one’s really doing that.
There have been producers like Marcus Intalex who brought techno influences into drum & bass, but with this EP, I’m going straight to the roots – directly referencing Detroit and Chicago, but from back in the day. That’s where it all started for me, back when Garfied first introduced me to that sound.
I can definitely hear that Detroit and Chicago influence…
Yeah, definitely. If you listen to ‘Trax 312’, the bassline is influenced by Mr. Fingers’ ‘Can You Feel It’. I was curious about how he made that sound, so I did some research – found out what keyboard he used, what the exact settings were. I eventually tracked it down as a piece of software, dialed in the same settings, and decided to use that stab and bassline as the foundation for a track.
And because ‘Can You Feel It’ was released on Trax Records in Chicago, I named the track ‘Trax 312’ – Trax for the label, and 312 because that’s the area code for Chicago.
That’s sick. I love hearing the stories behind tracks. Are there any others on the EP with a special meaning?
Yeah, the lead track is called ‘Letter From Detroit’. The way I imagined it, jungle and drum & bass were partially built from those early Detroit and Chicago influences, right? So ‘Letter From Detroit’ is me picturing that Detroit has heard what we’ve done with their influence, acknowledged it, and sent a track back to us – like, “yeah, we hear you. Here’s our take on it”. It’s a tip of the hat from Detroit to us.
And this is your first-ever EP, right?
Yeah, I’ve done singles before, but never a full EP. As my confidence has grown, I’ve been able to finish more tracks, so now something like this can finally happen. And I’m really glad it’s with SUNANDBASS – they’ve looked after me for so long.
Do you have a lot cooking right now?
I’ve got plans. I’ve got plans. Actually, I just did a remix for a rapper called Koj – that one should be out now. I’ve been in the lab more and more, getting things done quicker. Basically, all this time, I’ve had to learn my own thought process and workflow, and now it’s finally coming together.
During lockdown, I realized I wasn’t happy with a lot of the drum & bass being released at the time. It felt quite generic – too much piano, too predictable. And the thing about me is, if I’m not happy with something, I’m not going to just sit there and moan about it. I’ll do something about it. So I started making tunes – stuff I felt was missing from my sets. I didn’t care if anyone else liked them. I ended up making about 25 to 30 tracks: mashups, bootlegs, remixes, originals. Then I sent them out to friends – DJs I knew were into that soulful vibe, like Jumping Jack Frost, Fabio, Grooverider, Bukem. Even Dillinja. And they were all saying, “You should do more of this stuff!”.
That whole process taught me a big lesson: when I stop worrying about fitting into the scene and just focus on telling my own story, the music has a better vibe.
Sounds like you’re loaded with dubs! 
So my plan is to release some of these bootlegs by summer – ones that have had great reactions. Actually, one of them, Shy FX wanted to release, but we couldn’t clear the sample.
But yeah, these tracks have been getting play across different spaces – 1Xtra, Radio 1, and beyond – so I want to get the most popular ones out first, then follow up with something else. That’s all I’ll say for now. I don’t want to jinx it. But yeah, definitely, the bootlegs and remixes are coming. And then… something more. Let’s just leave it at that for now.
It sounds like we’ll be seeing your name pop up more. Any more bits with SUNANDBASS?
I’m glad you asked. There’s going to be a launch for the single from the EP in Berlin on March 7th at the Void Hall. While I’m in Berlin, I’m going to hang around for a few days because Stefano has some friends over there with all the original drum machines and acid machines from the early days of Detroit techno and Chicago house. I’m going to meet up with them and see what happens.
Originally, we thought we’d replicate some tracks from my EP and film it, but it could also turn into a new collaboration. Either way, we’re definitely going to get in the studio and see what comes of it. I’m excited to see what happens, especially with the analog gear involved.
Sounds like you love a bit of analog when you’re producing.
Yeah, totally. It’s what I understand best. I’ve made a decision not to try to fit in with others or to replicate what they’re doing. I want to stick with what I know and what I’ve lived. Analog gear, original drum machines – those are the tools I know inside and out. I’ve got a friend named Epic, who lived up the road, and he’s got the Roland MC-101, an acid machine, and a TR-606. We used to go to his place, mess around with those, and record hip hop stuff back in the day before house music even hit. I still have the tapes we made together. So yeah, working with analog gear just feels right to me.
Nice, yeah, makes more sense something
Yeah, you stick with what you know. That’s what works for me.
I know you’re a historian of drum & bass – so to finish up, tell me some of your favourite moments in the past three decades?
One of my standout moments was touring New Zealand and Australia – I’d do a week in each country every year. When I played at the Ministry in Christchurch, oh my god, that was unforgettable. The crowd there had such a hunger for new tunes. I’d bring a big box of dubplates and they wouldn’t let me off the decks until I’d played every single one. I’d be playing for four hours straight, and the love for the music was just immense. It was a real vibe, something that happened consistently in that part of the world.
Another highlight is definitely SUNANDBASS. You won’t truly get it until you experience it in person. You hear all the hype about it, but it only makes sense once you’re there and feel the energy from the people. There’s no superstar nonsense – no exclusive backstage areas or popping champagne. The music is the real champion, and everyone is in that zone. That vibe runs through the whole event, and I’ve been lucky enough to be there every year. It’s always the same incredible energy.
I always warn people about going, though, because it’s so hard not to return. Once you’re in, you’re in. It’s the strangest thing I’ve ever seen – there are grown men who get upset and start crying when it’s time to leave. They’re just like, “Shit, will I ever feel this good again?”.

In an industry where late nights and alcohol often go hand in hand with performance, Zedd has shared a refreshingly honest perspective on his journey to sobriety behind the decks.
Appearing on Lewis Howes' School of Greatness podcast, the electronic music superstar, whose real name is Anton Zaslavski, revealed that alcohol was his pre-show ritual to combat performance anxiety for over a decade.
"My default used to be to drink onstage for over 10 years, every single show, because I still get nervous," Zaslavski said. "And for the longest time, I thought I wouldn't be able to play shows sober. But that's a really, really dangerous thing to say when you play a lot of shows."
Julian Bajsel
What makes his revelation particularly significant is the realization that followed his first sober performance in Las Vegas.
"And my first sober Vegas show, I remember I had this moment where I realized, 'Wait, I'm sober.' I felt exactly the same as I felt drunk," Zaslavski continued. "And that made me realize that what I thought the alcohol was giving me, it wasn't the alcohol ever. It was the adrenaline. It was the excitement. It was the connection to the people."
Zedd's candid admission comes not only amid a rise in alcohol-free electronic music events, but also a time when the industry is increasingly acknowledging the toll that touring can take on artists' mental and physical wellbeing. For many DJs who perform hundreds of shows annually, the pressure to maintain energy levels and audience connection can lead to potentially harmful coping mechanisms.
His experience highlights an important shift in perspective that could influence younger artists navigating the demanding world of electronic music. By challenging the long-held belief that substances are necessary for peak performance, he joins a growing movement of artists prioritizing sobriety in their careers, like Dillon Francis and Virtual Riot.

Tomorrowland has launched an architectural design studio to expand its influence beyond its Belgian festival grounds and into everyday spaces.
Known for his "couture architecture," renowned architect Dieter Vander Velpen has teamed up with Tomorrowland to launch Great Library Design Studio. Inspired by the festival's immersive "Great Library of Tomorrow" exhibition, the firm's goal is to translate the Tomorrowland universe into real-world luxury environments.
Tomorrowland is revered for its grand stage designs and intricate storylines, which lean heavily into fantasy. This vision is now being reimagined into spaces ranging from high-end hotels to exclusive entertainment venues. Vander Velpen describes the project as an effort to merge Tomorrowland’s identity with an architectural language inspired by Art Nouveau and the natural world.
"Finding inspiration in nature, in plants, in trees, in certain details of animals or living creatures," the architect said. "It's a subtle reference. And that's the beauty, I think, when it all comes together in a subtle, understated, but very visually beautiful way."

Great Library Design Studio marks a significant evolution for Tomorrowland, reinforcing its influence not just in music and entertainment, but also in interior design and architecture. By transforming its ephemeral festival magic into lasting, tangible spaces, the brand continues to expand its global impact and reputation for developing immersive environments that embody the same sense of wonder and escapism that has defined the festival for years.
"We're excited to show what we've been working on for the past few years with a really dedicated team," Vander Velpen added.
With the help of specialized craftsmen, factories and workshops, these initiatives bring the festival’s visual storytelling into everyday spaces. One of the studio's first major projects is Morpho, which wil; introduce a nature-inspired collection of furniture, lighting and decorative elements that embody the studio's unique design philosophy.
Morpho is expected to launch in April 2025, according to Great Library Design Studio.

There's a fine line between honoring the past and redefining it, and Taiki Nulight NERO walk it masterfully in their 2025 rework of "Innocence," out now.
The original track, the lead single from NERO's seminal debut album Welcome Reality, was already a defining moment in the band's career. But in the hands of Taiki Nulight, its cinematic sound mutates into something even darker and more formidable.
Few producers could take on a track as iconic as "Innocence" and emerge victorious, but Nulight isn't just anyone. He's long been considered one of the world's most prolific producers of UK Garage music, but his recent foray into dubstep could reach even greater heights.
For longtime fans, "Innocence 2025" respects the original's soul while transforming it into a 140 dubstep anthem for today's dancefloors. The haunting vocals of NERO frontwoman Alana Watson remain the song's emotional anchor. There's a careful balance between atmosphere and impact as her hypnotic vocals contort through distorted synth growls and bass you can feel in your bones.
Listen to "Innocence 2025" below and find the new single on streaming platforms here.

The EP holds a lot of personal meaning, so it’s double the special. Out on ADID, triple the special.
At long last! Feels like an eternity, but we finally have a Khen-only EP out on the Organic House leading imprint, All Day I Dream. Today March 14th — also Pi Day if you’re a math freak like me — marks the date one of the finest producers out there unveils the My Pure Soul EP, a three-track combo full of sentiment and emotion. And groove, if you ever doubted Khen.
Khen’s career gained international recognition in 2016 with the release of his debut album, One Day of Independence, on Guy J’s iconic Lost & Found label. Subsequently, he has collaborated with Guy Mantzur on John Digweed’s Bedrock, released EPs and a remix for Durante on Anjunadeep, and worked with Roy Rosenfeld on Sébastien Léger’s Lost Miracle. Yup, he’s that good.
My Pure Soul EP
The EP blends organic percussion with rich synth textures, crafting an emotive soundscape. As emotive as the complete EP is on its own, of course, for Khen dedicated these tracks to the memory of his father. He himself build upon this idea by saying:
‘My Pure Soul’
I’d been listening to this at gigs, and DJ sets for a while, but I didn’t know how much meaning it held underneath. I just thought it was beautiful and enjoyed every listen. It all makes sense now that I know how much love was poured into it, and the strong message it carries. We’re dancing to you and your lovely son, dear Aba.
‘Lyup’
Pure Khen goodness. There’s no other way to describe this track, as it’s in the proper lane he usually does: A style of minimalistic that is so complete you just lose yourself in the music and suddenly eight minutes have passed. It’s that kind of organic-ey, progressive groove that doesn’t let you go.
‘Uchi Mata’
Same here. The melody, the warm plucks, the unusual scale, the fading pads, the infectious percussion, it all points straight to Khen’s unmistakable sonic techniques. Best served at a nightclub or an open-air gig, but honestly take it however you want and it will always slap. It’s his empirically proven formula for success.

The track includes a powerful Uplifting Trance remix by Artena.
New. Music. Friday. A nod to an old series of ours but also a truth. I’ve got no numbers here to back me up, but I just know Fridays are days packed with new stuff. This time, we want to highlight a new EP by our friends from Amon Vision: Michael Alan just unveiled a new record, ‘Made In The Sky‘.
He who released his debut single back in August of last year, and who received two banging remixes for ‘Dark Matter’ not long ago, is now back with another original. Alan is a DJ, Vocalist and Producer from Perth, with a rather strong bond with Electronic music. Made famous for his endless sets on his YouTube channel, he’s now added two new tunes to his own catalogue.
‘Made In The Sky’
The EP contains two unique versions — the original Michael Alan creation, and an Uplifting-belonging retouch by producer Artena.
Original Mix
It’s a simple yet catchy formula: the track carves a path into your ears with the help of intense jumpy basslines, reminiscent of the Anjunabeats Progressive Trance kind of style, think A&B, Oliver Smith, that sort of style. Gated pads, trancy plucks, and ascending atmospheres will take you all the way there. A standout track for me.
Artena Remix
This is pure, raw Uplifting Trance. It’s got it all: from the powerful beats to the moving melodic elements, pointy saw leads, warm plucks, and an overall tone of yesteryear, most notably during the break, where it first shows you all the harmonic and beautiful elements this track’s got to showcase, to then go into a frenzy of a broken beat break, to then go back to the pure Uplifting experience. Beautiful.
