For our next release we welcome Thaddeus back to the label for a scorching double header of original productions. First up we have the lead track Is This Real and the moment we heard it we knew it was special. The term Progressive Trance often gets diluted from its real meaning, but this track nails it. Dreamy synths and a filtered vocal wash over a beautiful melody that will take you to another level of euphoria. The spoken word in the breakdown makes this track a real stand out. Next up we have Talk To Me which keeps dreamy elements but goes for a deeper punch. Thaddeus weaves the groove like a sorcerer on a spine tingling dance floor journey of atmospheric textures, punchy bass and another filtered but subtle vocal that fits the track perfectly. Both originals really are quality productions. To round off the release we look to our very own Mike Bentley to remix Is This Real. Mike opens with his own take of progressive breaks but with unmistakable elements of the original. A deep industrial hook quickly enters the track which locks you into the rhythm immediately. Mike keeps the filtered vocal element to add drama, building suspense for his breakdown before smoothly transitioning back to full flow. An outstanding remix of what was already an outstanding original track.
