HIROYUKI ODA 类型: 电子
发布日期 2010年9月8日 出版发行: Otographic Music
Hiroyuki ODA, one of the most honored artist from Japan, releases his album finally.
Hiroyuki has came out ahead of the trance scene when Armin van Buuren has picked up his tracks. After that he contracted to Armada Music, and Armin played Hiroyuki’s track “Transmigration” on his mix CD “A State Of Trance 2006.” Hiroyuki has achieved remarkable feats that was the first time in Japanese producers. He showed the quality of Japanese-made trance, and he generated a broad range of fans and successive generation of artists.
This album “Thirty” is summarization of Hiroyuki’s works until now. It consists of progressive trance at the first half, and uplifting trance at the last half. “Amethyst” and “Daybreak” is unreleased track ever, despite of enthusiastic backing from fans. “Thirty,” “Stargazer,” “Sound of Waves,” “Oceanus,” “Luminescence” is roll-out tracks that has been simmering for years. “Light Velocity,” “Submarine,” “Ionosphere” are brandnew tracks in a more refined way. The last track “Yozora,” which has supported by Armin van Buuren, Daniel Kandi, Redstar, etc, is popular around the globe. Don’t miss this huge production.

Wake Your Mind 豆瓣
Cosmic Gate 类型: 电子
发布日期 2011年11月15日 出版发行: High Note Records
2011 album from the German Trance duo. From the first beat and bar of the album, C.G.'s finely tuned sonics tear relentlessly at the speaker fabric, with the strident, spiked synths of their Arnej collaboration 'Sometimes They Come Back For More' leading the charge. On Wake Your Mind, vocals play an ever-greater part of their sound-design and the album sports some of their very best. Taking time out from his film and TV singer/songwriter activities (including work on Easy A and Grey's Anatomy), Cary Brothers provides the contemplative, low-fi, Rock-ish refrain for the album's outstanding title track. Cathy Burton meanwhile applies serious uplift on 'Drifting Away', while Wake... hits it euphoric high around the stabbed synths and up-rush of 'Over The Rainbow' (vocalled by South African singer J'Something). Scene darling Jes supplies the can't-miss vocal hook to 'Flying Blind' and at the other end of the tempo scale Australia's Alana Aldea provides from-the-heart lyrics and flawlessly articulated vocal lament to the slow burning 'Never Apart'.
All We Have Is Now 豆瓣
Betsie Larkin 类型: 电子
发布日期 2011年10月7日 出版发行: Premier
"As a thank you to the dedicated fans who pre-order, we're including two remixes of my first single (also titled "All We Have Is Now"), the radio edit by Super8 & Tab, and the music video. Previews of each track are available on iTunes."
"When I was looking for collaborators for my last artist album I listened to literally hundreds of vocalist/songwriters (known and unknown) and the beautiful, dreamy, lush vocals and insightful, intelligent and captivating lyrics of Betsie Larkin completely blew me away. I knew that she was special" -Ferry Corsten
Betsie Larkin’s debut electronic dance album, All We Have Is Now, is finally here. The first single, also titled “All We Have Is Now,” produced by Finnish duo Super8 & Tab, sent waves through the dance music community shooting up the Beatport and Music Week Club charts.
Talks of Betsie’s album started with DJ/Producer, Ferry Corsten, soon after the release of his album, Twice In A Blue Moon, for which Betsie was featured on two tracks (“Made of Love” and “Feel You”). Ferry was quick to discover Betsie’s talent for crafting songs and invited her to create an album with backing from his new label, Premier, a joint venture between Ferry’s Flashover and Black Hole Recordings. Betsie reached out to a list of heavy-hitters in the EDM scene and crafted a song or two with each producer. The result is twelve songs that successfully fuse each producer’s unique style with Betsie’s signature songwriting and vocals.
Betsie described the process of working with ten producers on her album: “This was an ambitious project, to say the least, but so rewarding in the end. It was really fun experiencing all of the different processes for writing. With some we started from one of my older alternative rock songs. In others I would lay down a very minimal piano with a vocal and let the producer create music around the idea. I only started from a producer’s instrumental on one track, which was “The Offering,” with Sied van Riel. The real fun was in sending off a rough version of something I had written, and seeing how it came back to me after a few weeks with the producer. These guys are incredible at what they do, and working with them was a blast!”
The next single, “The Dream,” produced by John O’Callaghan has everything required of a dance anthem. Energetic and driving, it soars into the chorus, and delivers at every turn. Betsie’s voice cuts through with her trademark strong messaging, “I keep chasing the dream. I keep chasing the fire inside me. Throw the map on the street. We’ll find out where this fire was meant to lead…”

10 Years Of Anjunabeats 豆瓣
VA / Above & Beyond 类型: 电子
发布日期 2011年1月17日 出版发行: Anjunabeats
When Jono, Tony and Paavo set up their Anjunabeats label back in 2000, it was mainly an outlet for their own burgeoning productions as (among other aliases) Above & Beyond. There was no masterplan, just a dedication to quality and forward-thinking dance music.
Today, Above & Beyond’s overspilling DJ diary reads like a departure board at Heathrow airport. Their debut artist album ‘Tri-State’ sold countless copies worldwide and became a genre classic. Above & Beyond’s songs are sung back to them by tens of thousands of clubbers at the biggest festival stages on the planet and their flagship gigs include launching Richard Branson’s new SpaceShip for Virgin Galactic, rocking 1million people on Rio’s Barra Beach, and a recent sell-out at Brixton Academy.
Now counting over 200 single releases, an award-winning compilation series and with deeper sub label Anjunadeep in tow, Anjunabeats remains the heartbeat of all Above & Beyond’s activity. Renowned as a taste-making torchbearer for quality uplifting dance music, Anjunabeats has grown into a global label family responsible for nurturing talents like Super8 & Tab, Nitrous Oxide and Mat Zo to both critical acclaim and club supremacy.
For this anniversary release, Above & Beyond look back over the Anjunabeats’ legacy by mixing 10 timeless tracks that remind us just how forward-thinking the label has been over its 10 years. As well as Above & Beyond’s own classic ‘Can’t Sleep’, tracks like Bart Claessen & Dave Schiemann’s ‘Madness’ (I Prefer This Mix), Signalrunners ‘These Shoulders’, Daniel Kandi’s ‘Breathe’ and Smith & Pledger’s ‘Northern Lights’ still sound as visceral, energising and uplifting as they did the first time round.
Of course, Anjunabeats is a label driven by forward motion and it is for that reason that Above & Beyond present a second of disc updated and reinterpreted versions of those 10 classic tracks, with highlights including a melodic house-influenced remix of Mat Zo’s ‘Synapse Dynamics’ by Russian trance prodigy Arty, a dark, throbbing tech transformation of Super8 & Tab’s brooding but euphoric ‘Helsinki Scorchin’ by Bart Claessen, and Super8 & Tab’s respectful, futuristic version of Above & Beyond’s ‘Can’t Sleep’.
To celebrate this landmark release there will be also be a 10 Years of Anjunabeats party at The Gallery (Ministry Of Sound) on Friday 3rd December featuring an Anjunabeats All Stars line up of Kyau & Albert, Mat Zo, Bart Claessen, Oliver Smith and Nitrous Oxide in the Box, and Anjunadeep favourites 16 Bit Lolitas, Jody Wisternoff and James Grant in the 103.

Impact 豆瓣
W&W 类型: 电子
发布日期 2011年9月30日 出版发行: Armada
The future of dance music is happening now. The next generation of EDM producers is stepping up, with W&W bearing the flag of today’s promise. No need to wait much longer. After merely 4 years of warming up, the duo sets things alight with the long-awaited debut album ‘Impact’.
Though there’s plenty of challenges left on their to-do list, Dutch producers Willem van Hanegem and Ward van der Harst no longer play the game of rookies. W&W met up at the infamous Trance Energy event in 2007, to witness their first collaboration ‘Mustang’ blow away that same crowd only a year later. A unique sound, fusing the melody of trance and electrifying beat of electro with the energy of techno, was born. Now, three years later, the duo has solidified into one of the freshest, most exciting electronic dance acts on the scene. W&W originals ‘Arena’, ‘Mainstage’, ‘Alpha’ and ‘AK-47’ were instant favourites, as well as their remixes for Armin van Buuren, Marcel Woods, Allure and Aly & Fila. The energetic sets they played at events such as Trance Energy, Tomorrowland and A State of Trance 450 and 500, several Global Gathering events and Nature One to name a few, along with their weekly ‘Mainstage’ radio show, resulted in a new entry at number 71 of last year’s DJ Mag Top 100.
The musical journey has taken them far, but Willem and Ward have only just begun. The fields of dance industry stretch out in front of them and they don’t hesitate to take the next step. ‘Impact’ is going to be that step. The debut album has been in the making 1,5 years, pushing the boundaries of everything danceable. W&W:”For ‘Impact’, we tried many different new styles, sounds and tricks. We were able to implement a lot of those into our sound. Unique is the key word in this process and the album turned out exactly as we wanted it to be!”
‘Impact’ is an album bursting with energy, riding the characteristic sounds of W&W’s musical fusion. You’ll be surprised to find minimal, techno, progressive, trance and even some dubstep coming together as one, creating balance in variety. Including collabs with producers like Ummet Ozcan, Leon Bolier, Wezz Devall, Mark Sixma and vocalists Bree, Emily and Ana Criado, but based upon the powerful force of W&W, this is one album you can’t miss. ‘Impact’ has everything today’s dance society needs.
