Eximinds – Revolved (Original Mix)
Russian trance team Eximinds has been surveying the scene for a few years, treating junkies of uplifting melodies to tracks like their remixes of Alexander Popov's "When The Sun" and Aly & Fila's "Coming Home." This week, however, the duo reached a new milestone with their debut release on the prodigious Anjunabeats label. "Revolved" hits a little harder than your typical Anjuna track and pairs haunting stuttered vocals with a gradual build breaking into a prolonged, bassy break. Stream the track and purchase below.
Mike Koglin vs. 7 Skies – Vision (Original Mix)
The legendary German trance producer Mike Koglin is back with his third major collaboration of late (the other two being "Dyno" with "Helion" with Genix) in the form of "Vision" with Italian 7 Skies. The track lifts off with a grungy bass riff, slowly building with a sprinkle of staccato pad work into a full blown synth breakdown. We don't want to oversell you on this one, but it's a truly rapturous trance anthem. If you recognize it, you may remember hearing it in Above & Beyond's TATW 450 set in Bangalore back at the end of November.
Andrew Bayer – Gaff’s Eulogy (Original Mix)
Andrew Bayer, a classically trained musician and Berklee alum, is out with his latest track "Gaff's Eulogy" on Anjunabeats. He is known for his quite original take on the dance music genre -- blending classical elements and an orchestral style at a danceable pace and "Gaff's Eulogy" is no different. This isn't a big room production in the traditional sense, but it certainly still sounds grandiose and graceful.
Jaytech – Multiverse (Club, Audien, and Mimax Remixes)
Anjunabeats darling Jaytech, an Australian producer who has spent his career blurring the lines between trance, progressive, and deep house, released his second full length artist album Multiverse back in August. The label is now releasing three remixes of the title track off the album -- a club mix, Audien remix, and Mimax remix.
Above & Beyond feat. Zoë Johnston – Alchemy (Club, Radio & Extended Album Mixes)
Only a week or so past the end of their historic Trance Around The World radio show and introduction of the newly minted Above & Beyond Group Therapy show, Anjunabeats label heads Above & Beyond are releasing a variety of mixes of one of their singles off of last June's Group Therapy album.
Maor Levi transforms trance with progressive and dubstep rhythms
Maor Levi is an up-and-coming trance producer who grew up creating music in his bedroom at the age of 12. Heavily influenced by the trance-heavy 90s dance scene in Israel, Maor's sound has trappings across the full spectrum of trance subgeneres, deriving much of his influence from the psy-trance and goa he listened to as a kid. He cites his main inspiration as Infected Mushroom who he describes as; "out of this world with their sound and the wizardry of their production."
Sunny Lax – Isla Margarita/Naida (Original Mixes)
We haven't seen too much from Hungarian Levente Marton, better known as Sunny Lax, since his wildly popular "Contrast" off the Anjunabeats Volume 9 sampler (released at the end of 2011) but today the dominant trance label will release his newest offering, a two track EP consisting of "Isla Margarita" and "Naida."
