Originally released in 2012 entitled Piece of my Heart, Alexander Roezel a.k.a. Para X has resurrected one of his finest moments, given it a good polish & retitled it Still In My Heart. There is an explanation below, but regardless of the backstory, this is a brilliant example of how Uplifting Trance can truly hit the spot in a timeless fashion. Says Alexander: "Some memories never fade. Still In My Heart is inspired by a feeling many of us know, the memory of your first love, a moment in time that stays with you long after it is gone. It is about that bittersweet mix of emotions, when you look back on something that once meant everything. I created this track back in 2012 as Piece Of My Heart. The melody and vibe still resonate deeply with me, so I wanted to bring that feeling into the present."
Sequence Six returns with the glorious Mewali. One of the best things about this track is Gio breaking free from the current 'shorter is better' type and giving us a +9-minute journey, more in-keeping with arrangements from trance's earlier days. This allows the music to breathe and draw listeners and dance floors into a more heads-down experience. All of Gio's familiar components are of course firmly in place – huge builds, epic drops, layer upon layer of gripping synths and melodies. All in all, it's even more of what we love from New York's current trance luminary.
T.O.M (aka Tranceomatic) is Dutchmen Theo Mulder and Janco Krale who have a plethora of solid releases under their belt, on labels including Black Hole, In Trance We Trust, FSOE, Elpida, Eve and Nukleuz. Dreamstate Protocol is the follow up to their NEON debut For Those We Dont Know. Another 136bpm serving of hypnotic trance music that drives relentlessly forward with a seductively whispered vocal hook.
Pure Trance NEON Trance (Main Floor)
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.
