After a successful showing on Ed Banger Presents: Let the Children Techno with his mechanical disco track Control , young French producer Bobmo is back with some new tunes, and as I suspected, they're nothing short of beastly. Like all artists, I expected (and hoped) that Bobmo's sound would change, but I didn't expect the turn for such relentless techy beats. Joy! His latest release, Hardbells , is a big punch in a small can. Designed to rattle the rafters at clubs, this minimalistic acid beat is going to bounce until your head rocks, [...]
Regarded as one of the most influential and recognized hard dance DJ/producers, BK aka Ben Keen is noted as being the best-selling hard producer of all time. For this post, he's coming at us with a remix of Dark Matter's Absolut . The tune pumps hard, strong, and fast as only a hard dance production could do. Crank up the BPM and turn that bass up because this track is filled to the brim with pure energy. Perhaps one of the less sought after and unknown genres of EDM, hard is dance certainly addicting [...]
With an emphasis on energy and surprise, Irishman Bryan Kearney defines what hard trance is all about. His productions come at you with type of intensity that is unmatched. With a furious tech beat and hard punching basslines, Kearney's sound makes perfect "rage music." His track Mexican Rave is a perfect example of this "raging" sound. It introduces itself with a melodic trance feel that eventually drops into a pounding mass of devastation. To up the ante, Mark Young & Damo Kay's remix of the Kearney track Ridiculous [...]
Who knew that LessThan3 favorite Marco V had a past life as a hard trance producer? That's right; way back in 2002 Mr. V released the destructive Godd under popular hard dance label and events company ID&T, and to this day they consider it one of their biggest hits. It's no surprise; the vocal in this track, coupled with the beyond-annihilating bass pulse, is nothing short of mesmerizing. What really keeps the track at a hypnotic level is the theme of the lyrics, which questions the listener's belief in the many traits imposed on [...]
I'm always sort of timid when it comes to hardstyle. Mostly I'm just afraid that one of these days I'll get fully absorbed into it and then I'll be dancing like a crazy mofo till the end of my days. Though I guess that's not not such a bad way to go down... The Next Level by Fusion Allstars is just the type of track to make me say "screw it" and succumb to being a hardstyle slave. With sections that sound downright cinematic (who hired the movie preview voiceover guy?) to some [...]
Ever since Shmurkio introduced us to Kamui a few weeks ago I became an instant fanatic. Their harder trance sounds almost beg their own genre, and this most recent release on their new label Approved By Jesus (...?), Achtung! , is no different. After hearing this track in a live set by Marcus Schossow, I would say the title sums this track up fairly well-it demands your attention. The sound that makes this track incredibly unique is the use of a variant of the musical technique called hemiola , which simply put [...]
Another friggin draw from the elusive jaws of victory, another two points down the plughole and yet more evidence against the case to canonise Robbie Keane. Watching Ireland play is like having your joyful senses pulled apart mercilessly by a slowly moving herd of dray horses. The result means we've got to hang on until March before the next chapter of this adventure witnessed through 5 sweaty fingers and a tuft of ruffled hair unravels in such a ridiculously comic way. And that's before you realise that Macedonia much like our robster were equally ineffective from 10 yards. The most [...]
Kamui, a duo based in Germany, first caught my attention a couple years back when their track, Get Lifted , was featured on In Search of Sunrise 7 . This moving melodic masterpiece is still one of my all-time favorite prog house tracks. I looked them up, hopeful to find some similar tracks. That's when I realized that Kamui wasn't who I expected at all...AT ALL. With track names like Electro Slut and remixes with artists like Organ Donors, Kamui turned out to be a bit harder than I anticipated. As a matter [...]
I can usually only tolerate the harder regions of dance over 140 bpm-land in small doses - after too much and I start feeling like I'm going insane. This is why I didn't hold much hope for enjoying Australian "psycore" producer Satori when my Traktor discovered that his tracks had speeds up to a blistering 167 bpm (beats per minute). Boy was I proven wrong. Satori is a newer name to the scene (is there a "psycore" scene?), but he is certainly trying to establish himself quickly. His latest EP, A Sharp Kick to the [...]
We don't post up too much trance on here, but we've received some good stuff lately and wanted to share it with you. The first few songs are from an up-and-coming producer from South Africa - Max Angel . He hasn't been at it that long, but his productions already have a nice polished feel to them. The first track is straight up trance, while the other two are more hard trance. Max Angel - Eternal Light [...]
