Electronic music pioneer Paul Oakenfold returns with Mission Underground, the highly anticipated second installment of his Mission album series, a bold new project that reimagines some of trance music’s most iconic records while pushing the genre into exciting new territory. Bringing together an extraordinary lineup of artists spanning multiple generations of electronic music, Mission Underground features collaborations and remixes from Armin van Buuren, Marie Vaunt, Carl Cox, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Infected Mushroom, ARGY, 2ŁØT and more. The result is a collection that honors trance’s rich legacy while embracing the darker textures and underground energy of contemporary techno. Arriving as trance enjoys a worldwide resurgence across clubs, festivals and streaming platforms, Mission Underground celebrates the melodic euphoria, positivity and emotional connection that helped define the genre while showcasing its continued evolution. From uplifting, high-BPM anthems to deeper, more driving productions, the album reflects Oakenfold’s enduring commitment to innovation and his ability to remain at the forefront of electronic music culture. Album highlights include the brand-new Paul Oakenfold and Ferry Corsten collaboration “Metaverse,” the powerful Markus Schulz collaboration “Orange,” a new Full On Fluoro Mix of Oakenfold’s recent single “Masquerade” featuring 2ŁØT, and fresh interpretations of beloved dance music classics including “Not Over Yet,” “Bullet In The Gun,” “Power of American Natives,” “Southern Sun,” and “ResuRection.”
