Among the ancient rocks and untamed moorland of Ilkley Moor in West Yorkshire, UK, where history, nature and sound converge, Mark EG & Nostic unveil Kindred Spirits, a driving acid trance journey born from a session in the open landscape. Reuniting label boss Nostic with UK legend Mark EG, this '90s-inspired hardtrance track blends ripping acid lines, energetic synth work and rich atmospheric depth. Rising choir synth leads and a mysterious gated pad shape the breakdown, while a haunting female vocal guides the experience, capturing a presence that moves in the darkness and captures your soul. Built on a deep, unspoken connection, Kindred Spirits reflects the moment when hearts, senses and minds align, a signal in silence, a force through time. More than just a track, it's an immersive experience where you're lost and alive in the spirit of sound, driven by pure acid energy. www.alteredrealityrecords.nl

After 17 years, Nostic brings Shadow Chaser back to life on Hyper Reality Records with the Chasing Shadows EP, a release that captures the spirit of the harder floors while pushing forward with renewed force. Opening with the 2005 Mix, a previously unreleased glimpse into the original, the EP evolves into the 2009 Mix, once featured on Acid Records, now reborn with modern precision. Newly mixed down and fully remastered, both versions preserve the massive kicks, throbbing bassline, and energetic synth work and mysterious vibe that define the sound, delivering a relentless drive with classic German hard trance influences. Expect soaring riffs, ripping acid, and eerie ghostly vocal touches drifting through the mix, merging old-school energy with cutting-edge production for maximum impact. A fierce nod to the golden days, Chasing Shadows EP is a high-energy workout that's sure to find a home on the harder floors. www.hyperrealityrecords.nl
