January 2012 Trance review
Trance is still, in my opinion, a background genre when it comes to dance music. However with this said I believe this year we will see it slowly progress into more and more mainstream tracks , it may not involve the classic style of trance people were listening to in the 90’s, so I believe it’s going to be more electronic and progressive trance that makes this transition.
My favourite track this month has to be Full Tilt feat Deirdre McLaughlin- Surrender (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AX-nqRQio40&ob=av2e) Have a listen! Firstly this track is so upbeat and just simply fun to listen to; you can lose yourself in the song which is something I miss about tracks in the charts. When listening to this track you feel like you have done a workout  so you could imagine the hype of it in a club!
The next track of this month I’m covering is Cold Blue- Coconut simply for the preview he’s produced; I know it is being released on the 20th of February (Exclusively on Beatport on the 6th) but this is the kind of track I am talking about when I say trance will progress into the mainstream tracks. The subtle electro tone harmonises perfectly with the melodic trance to create this beautiful track. Definitely worth a listen when it’s released.
This next track gives me goose bumps every time I put my headphones on and listen to it. Boom Jinx & Daniel Kandi - Azzura is definitely a club worthy track. The track itself starts upbeat but around a minute into the track it becomes something magical, the progressive melody is incredibly soothing and places your mind on a tropical beach somewhere in the Pacific. Its tracks like this that made me fall in love with trance, not the hard acid trance but the melodic progressive trance.
The last track I’m covering for this article has to be Scot Project Press. Supermusique – Stop this feeling because of it’s all around great trance feel. There is a nice soft electro bass line running through the track, beautiful vocals, melodic progression and something a bit different about it that makes it stand out from most other tracks.
Thank you for reading my article, Next month I will update you on the new producer I am following on Sound cloud. Mean while why not have a listen to my tracks
