#72 Top Releases in Trance (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

Next up on Critical Elements we welcome Matty Wright to the label. Matty is a talent weve been watching for a while and boy has he delivered. If the Space Brothers/Lustral/Chakra released a progressive breaks track in 2025 we think it would sound like this, which is only a compliment! Mattys original take is the epitome of dreamy. Deep and atmospheric bass and percussion washed over by a stunning vocal from Francesca Payne. This track already sounds like a memorable part of our scene, did you hear it played at a sun kissed festival in 99, or was it in a club in 2025? To add to the release we looked to label friend Focus FL for a remix. He has released with us before and has really worked his magic on this one. Here he opts for a 4/4 makeover, speeding up the BPM and toughening the sound for a version perfect for the nights crescendo. Focus FL provides a journey of a remix for us yet again, the filtered vocal and changes in key building the energy and drama.

Focus FL, aka Eric Turco, has delivered a double header thats deep-space soundscapes lives up to the astral title. Blue Neptune eases us into the release, warm synth waves start washing over from the very start producing a Space Manoeuvres-esc reflection which is carried through the whole track. The first break strips it back to floating curtains of sound before Eric punches straight back into the core of the track, a driving wave of ethereal but bass driven texture. Keplar moves us to another corner of the solar system. A more driving track this time coupled with some intricate synth pads deliver a project that could follow Blue Neptune perfectly as well as stand on its own. The stunning synth work weaves in and out of the track showing the detail Eric has written into this release.
