Borderline Trance (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

Borderline Trance (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

Jon Mangan fires off a double hit of chunky, late-90s/early-2000s trance. Uno brings the drive and the crunch — peak-time energy built for big rooms. Aether follows with soaring nostalgia and melodic lift. Pure classic trance DNA, reborn for todays dancefloors.

Release number 123 brings a bumper pack of Activa related goodies - the Collabs & Bits EP. To kick things off we have Delta, a track from Tom Bro, who has seen releases on the likes of Pure Trance, which was an instant signing. Hearing the potential and an underlying quality to be realised, label boss Activa got stuck into the production, adding multiple elements to bring out a different vision of the track. Next up is another collab, this time with the formidable Luke Terry which was first aired at VII in Croatia in its early form. Since then, a few tweaks have been done to really give the track that classic Max Graham / Hope Recordings vibe from the early 00s. Lakota gives us number 3 of this 4 tracker - a track that sits early in a night, understated but does the job perfectly to warm people into a groove. A big bassline style riff countering airy vocals and pads makes this a solid early night progressive trancer. Last but not least is a Deeper take on Outlander, the first track from the Tri-Series vinyl releases from back in 2020, by none other than Mac & Monday. In his unmistakable style, Norbert carves out a groove laden subtle and progressive monster to lose yourself to.

Lab 4! Having danced to these guys back in the days of Sundissential in the North of England, its an honour that we have been able to sign a new remix of arguably one of their best tracks - The NRG. The hard dance legends have been remixed by John Doppings Definitions alias and the results are stunning: Without losing that trademark arp or any NRG from the original, John has been able to morph The NRG into a high quality transfer, fit for Borderline.
