  • The Lost Tribe
    BeatTracker #7 Top Releases in Trance (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

    Globally respected British electronic music pioneer John 00 Fleming returns with his first full-length artist album in eight years, announcing The Lost Tribe, an 18-track body of work set for release in early April via his own imprint, JOOF Recordings. The album arrives at a defining moment in Fleming's career, coinciding with an extraordinary 40 years behind the decks; a dual milestone that underscores both creative longevity and forward momentum. Rather than looking back, The Lost Tribe firmly faces forward. It is an unapologetic, long-form dance album that challenges modern electronic music conventions, rejecting short-format, algorithm-driven production in favour of immersive compositions designed to unfold patiently and purposefully. Every track on the album is an original John 00 Fleming production, with extended runtimes that allow space for atmosphere, narrative and emotional development; hallmarks that have defined his sound and DJ philosophy for decades. Speaking about the upcoming album, John commented: "Six years in the making, this album captures key moments and milestones from across my career, drawing inspiration from the highs, lows, and personal ambitions shaped by a constantly evolving music industry." The album title, The Lost Tribe, carries layered meaning. It reflects a growing community of artists and clubbers who feel increasingly alienated by the current festival and streaming landscape – where attention spans are short, tracks are built for instant impact, and musical journeys are often sacrificed for viral moments. Fleming positions the album as both a response and a rallying call: a reminder that electronic music was born from rule-breaking, long nights and shared transcendence on the dance floor. This philosophy mirrors his enduring approach as a DJ. Known worldwide for his extended sets (often spanning eight hours or more) Fleming has long treated the dance floor as a space for storytelling rather than spectacle. In recent years, he has continued to challenge festival norms with multi-hour headline performances, offering audiences depth and progression in an era increasingly dominated by rapid-fire drops and uniform playlists. The Lost Tribe also marks a deeply personal chapter. The album was shaped during a period of significant reflection and transformation, including Fleming's experience overcoming cancer – a journey that profoundly altered his outlook on creativity, ambition and purpose. That shift is felt throughout the record, which carries a renewed emotional weight and sense of clarity, blending power and vulnerability with the confidence of an artist fully in command of his craft. Musically, the album draws on Fleming's cinematic instincts and background in composition, incorporating expansive intros, evolving structures and richly detailed sound design. The tracks are designed not simply to be played, but to be experienced – whether on a dance floor, in headphones, or as part of a continuous listening journey. John 00 Fleming's influence on electronic music is both foundational and ongoing. Beginning his career at just 15 years old during the rise of the UK rave movement, he has remained a consistent and trusted figure across decades of cultural and technological change. His career has taken him from the UK's formative club circuit to some of the world's most revered stages, including BOOM Festival, Tomorrowland, EDC, Ozora, Creamfields and countless underground institutions worldwide. As a producer, he has released multiple acclaimed artist albums, achieved Gold disc status and earned millions of streams, while maintaining respect from peers ranging from underground innovators to global icons such as Jean-Michel Jarre and Muse. Beyond the club world, his work has extended into film and television composition, including collaborations with The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra at Abbey Road Studios. Through his imprint JOOF Recordings, Fleming has also cultivated a globally respected label and community, championing forward-thinking electronic music with integrity and independence at its core.

  • Do You Feel Alive
    BeatTracker #79 Top Releases in Trance (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

    Do You Feel Alive

    Eli Spiral , EYEawake

    Beatport Top Releases

    From the vast silence between distant stars comes Do You Feel Alive, the debut album by Colorado-based artist Eli Spiral. This is a carefully constructed work where astronomical precision meets cosmic scale and discipline. Cold in atmosphere yet full of inner force, it reflects the motion of distant objects and the quiet intensity of space itself. Emotional moments appear rarely but leave a lasting impact, like sudden alignments that change everything for those paying attention. The journey begins with the spirit of a Transient Explorer, moving forward with curiosity and purpose into unknown regions. Rhythmic foundations remain strong and constant throughout the album, creating movement that feels physical and undeniable. Tracks such as Astronautical reflect motion guided by invisible forces, while Jupiter's Orbit introduces a powerful breakbeat structure with an exceptional sense of rhythm, adding a fresh dimension and dynamic pulse to the journey. In Tetrahedra, structure and symmetry reveal themselves through carefully shaped patterns, while Shadow Path leads deeper into darker and more introspective territory. Twin Particles captures the idea of connection across distance, where separate elements mirror and respond to one another in perfect unity. Across all 11 tracks, Eli Spiral demonstrates exceptional attention to detail. Every sound has meaning, every effect serves a purpose, and nothing exists without intent. The collaboration Axion, created together with fellow JOOF Recordings artist EYEawake, stands as a powerful convergence of two creative minds operating with shared vision and precision. Special ambient interpretations of Eli's earlier works Avon Eclipse and Supervoid expand the album's depth, offering moments of stillness and reflection that reveal the emotional core beneath the rhythmic surface. These versions open space for the listener to fully absorb the scale and atmosphere of the journey. Dark, serious, and focused, yet deeply melodic and alive with movement, Do You Feel Alive is a confident and fully realized debut. It reflects discipline, patience, and complete artistic clarity, marking Eli Spiral as a distinct voice within the modern Trance landscape. From the heart of Colorado, this is music shaped by distance, guided by motion, and measured in meaning, where the experience stays with you, every single second.
