#60 Feat. Staff Picks in Trance (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

Q00B, last seen remixing Tim French's Kamino Static in 2023, are back on Lost Language with Sun's Horses and My Heroes, two cuts of warm and dusky prog-trance, with moody celestial riffs reminiscent of Silver Planet Recordings at their Gwill Morris, James Holden, Flash Brothers peak. Denmark's Nordic Echoes (J00F, Unique) make their Lost Language debut with a stellar exercise in low-slung trancey restraint, forfeiting a breakdown in pursuit of momentum, taking their remix of My Heroes into deep-space-sci-fi territory. We're huge fans here at EL-EL HQ, and we look forward to more from our Scandinavian friends. Sunda (Borderline, Landscapes) first caught our eye with their superb bootleg of Dominions 'Whoop Records' classic '11 Hours', so we're chuffed to finally have them on the label, taking all the wistful loveliness of the original Suns Horses melody, whilst giving it a rolling, timeless '21st Century Deep Trance' (REACTCD179) vibe.
