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

Jon Coles (a.k.a. Deepcry) has been producing in various forms for over 20 years, with releases on Bonzai and Morphosis from 2010 onwards, until 2016 where family life took over and music had to take a back seat, until now. Jon's sound is rooted in prototypal progressive trance, always melodic, atmospheric and dancefloor ready. This 125bpm follow-up to 2022's Alpha is another exploration of the deep trance sound, with mysterious Visage-esque synths, thrusting percussion and a whopping hook which emerges at the break.

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

Orkidea is Finland's premier DJ and an essential part of the I Like It Pure story. Xciter was originally released on Pure Progressive in 2017 and now returns with a deep and hypnotic remix courtesy of Italy's Deestopia. Taken from Solarstone's Pure Trance Vol. 10 album, this 124bpm growler is all tense atmosphere, evolving arpeggios and rattling percussion - until the melodic majesty of Xciter is unveiled. facebook.com/orkideadj instagram.com/orkidea twitter.com/djorkidea facebook.com/ArthesiaVsDalNulla twitter.com/deestopia_music instagram.com/deestopia_music
