The meeting of two Dutch musical masters, Joris Voorn's rework of Moonman's 'Don't Be Afraid' pays tribute to one of trance music's most enduring anthems while reintroducing it to a new generation of dancefloors. Originally released in 1996 on Sci-Fi Records, 'Don't Be Afraid' was one of three seminal Moonman singles - alongside Galaxia and First Light - that helped define the golden era of Trance. Moonman was, of course, one of the earliest aliases of Ferry Corsten, and it was the track's goosebump-inducing synth melody that first propelled him, albeit anonymously, into the global consciousness of the dance music scene, laying the foundations for a truly storied career. For Spectrum boss Joris Voorn, revisiting such a revered classic is a bold move; but one handled with deep respect and clear intent. His rework retains the emotional core and iconic melody of the original, while layering in a weighty low-end and rattling snares to give the track a renewed power and drive. The result is a glorious rush of nostalgia and fresh emotion, lifting 'Don't Be Afraid' once more into the stratosphere. exactly where it belongs.

The next release on Monster Force is Adam Reece with 'Redemption'. 'Definitely one of the best trance labels out there' - Armin van Buuren. Established in 2004, Monster Tunes is one of the World's leading Trance and Progressive electronic dance music record labels.

Scott Richardson is a familiar name to those familiar with the Borderline family, consistently pushing his own boundaries of artistic and technical prowess. This single is absolutely no exception, though it is as usual an exception to the rules. Sitting somewhere between the classic Borderline and slightly more modern sounding progressive R&D catalogues, 'Plasmoid' is equally welcome for warmup and peak time.

Chris Metcalfe continues to deliver peak time trance and with his next release 'Supernature' he's ready to show the world what his latest creating from the studio.

We welcome Jesh Bargota to NEON with the #138 bpm Memoria. This is his second ever release, following his debut Afterglow / My Mind at the end of 2025 on Lost Language. As a regular attendee at trance and progressive events throughout the UK, Jesh became fascinated with the art of building tension and atmosphere through the night, gravitating toward deeper, more melodic cuts reserved for the early morning hours. Jesh carries this fascination into his own music, becoming a promising figure in the new wave of producers carrying the Trance legacy into the future. Memoria opens as an inventive trancer, delicately layered with stabbed plucks and vocal snippets before unveiling a whopping hook. Thankfully it doesnt turn up then go away, instead we get a refreshing groove midway before that whopping hook makes a welcome return.

No Yesterday embodies the act of letting go — shedding past doubts, fears, and limitations — and transforming them into pure dancefloor energy, while No Worries and No Excuses complete the journey with uncompromising groove and intensity. With this EP, Giana Lux once again proves her instinct for blending emotional depth with high-impact techno, delivering a release that resonates far beyond the club and straight into the heart of the floor.
