#3 Feat. Staff Picks in Trance (Raw / Deep / Hypnotic)

Another opus from The Digital Blonde who is on fire right now. This time he joins forces with Idiosyncrasy for the mighty Telepathic Communication. The majestic Intro Mix is the mother of all Intro versions with a mammoth 3-minute opening to this < 11-minute deep, dark and fiery 136 bpm trance monster. Musically this has a brooding soundtrack vibe to it, with incessant, pointed bass which saves its keynote changes until the 8-minute mark, and what a release that proves to be when it eventually happens. The 135 bpm Club Mix does all of the above, but with a more mixable DJ friendly setup.

Latvian Anna Lee is amongst the many thousands of people displaced from her home in Ukraine by Russia's ongoing War. She is one of the artists behind Club Style Events in Ukraine and also runs a DJ school (both of which are currently suspended) and is an important artist in the Ukrainian trance scene. The title of this record is clearly indicative of her personal circumstances and make this a poignant release. The 138 bpm Long Way Home is very emotionally charged, its minor-keyed melody pushes the emotive message of this record home. www.instagram.com/DJAnnaLee www.facebook.comDJAnnaLee www.twitter.com/DJAnnaLee

Robert Nickson is one of the trance world's most consistent producers with a discography that stretches back to 2003. 'Transcend' is a head-down hypnotic 132bpm acidically growling, monster of a track with a menacing break and mammoth drop. www.twitter.com/robertnickson www.instagram.com/robertnickson www.facebook.com/robertnickson
