Scottish duo (Reece Smith and Andrew Brown) have established themselves within the trance and techno scenes by focusing on hard-hitting, tech-influenced trance music. Inhibition is a no-holds-barred stripped-down slab of energy, fired by a twisted arpeggiated lead reminiscent of releases on legendary 90s label Prolekult.

Great since 2003, Dutchman Paul Moelands aka Re:Locate has released on many of the major trance labels and featured in many of the key compilation series' including In Search of Sunrise and Tiesto in Concert. 'Beyond' is pure 136bpm melodic trance music with a clarity of production and understated quality reminiscent of trance's earlier years. Absolutely brilliant.

Solarstones The Last Defeat pt. 1 first appeared on his 2008 album Rain Stars Eternal, a cinematic piece and fan favourite. This fresh set of remixes pushes the track into trance territory. First up are two contrasting versions from New Yorks Obie Fernandez, a regular face on Pure Trance. Obie describes himself as Musician. Consultant. Dad. Writer. Photographer. Sensitive Radical. Not necessarily in that order, but its the first occupation focusing on, here! Obies 145bpm Light Side and Dark Side mixes are bang-on the trance zeitgeist of the moment, but with a twist that descends into a filmic DandB section drawing directly from the original version, then dropping into a four-to-the-floor groove. His Dark Side remix is something else entirely, with an acidic bassline, club-ready FX and a beautiful, lush breakdown. Saharans (Dave Begic and Suanda) return to the label with their 138bpm power-trance remix, featuring hyper-euphoric synth work and a whopping drop.
