    Emanuele-Braveri-Destination-Summer-300x300.jpg youtube.com/watch?v=4qFZfE9Y5SA soundcloud.com/vanditrecords/e…raveri-destination-summer Back in the spring, ‘Only A Dream’ - his quixotic blend of trance & house - marked an impressive first notch for Emanuele Braveri on VANDIT’s discography. Ready to do much the same for sun-season, the Veneto-based producer makes his return this week with the unequivocally titled (and oriented) ‘Destination Summer’. Suffice to say, if you’re missing even an ounc…

    LSG-DoubleVision-copy-300x300.jpg Without question one of the foremost influences on electronic music production over the last three decades, this month marks Oliver Lieb’s return as L.S.G. Having lit the path with his remixed/re-mastered/re-released ‘Netherworld’ (“one of the most iconic trance and progressive singles in existence” - Dancing Astronaut) last month, August sees the German legend drop his first official studio long-player in 15 years. Something of an album recluse since 2002’s ‘Th…

    Cosmic-Gate-Markus-Schulz-AR-300x300.png ‘Materia Chapter.Two’ - Cosmic Gate’s forthcoming artist album (landing: 01.09.17), has a number of first-time production collaborations to its tracklist. None perhaps are more long awaited (and we suspect anticipated!) than its second single. A big drumroll then please for the tech-trance titan that is ‘AR’ - Nic & Bossi’s first studio connect with Markus Schulz. From its outset ‘AR’s urgent riffs - tightrope-tense in their delivery - are flanked by stor…

    LSG-Netherworld-Remixes-Bonzai-Progressive-1-300x300.jpg youtube.com/watch?v=973VvpjbZK0 As summer 2017 mainlines, German electronic music genius Oliver Lieb gifts it with new reworks of his 1996 L.S.G. opus ‘Netherworld’. Within a year of making its first appearance (on his second studio album ‘Volume Two’), ‘Netherworld’ had firmly established itself in the high circles of both trance and progressive. Broken through intensive club play by Sasha, Digweed and others, it’s gone on to make regular…

Yes indeed, summer’s well and truly upon us. Something’s still amiss though and we reckon you’ve already put your finger on what that is! A hot-season embracing, see-you-down-the-front PvD floor-roar is what’s required and right on cue, everyone’s fav…

    Pierre-Pienaar-Higher-State-300x300.jpg youtube.com/watch?v=LQL9fMcDA58 soundcloud.com/pierrepienaar/p…higher-state-original-mix Through his earlier studio days, his tougher-trance era and his Nukleuz-released works under the P.H.A.T.T. moniker, there are those who’ll have been listening to Pierre for a decade or more. Others will have discovered him more recently, through more epic productions, like the VANDIT-released ‘Far Away’. To all though, he’s ‘the man from Namibia’ - a more striking (no…

    Cosmic-Gate-Materia-Chapter.Two_-300x300.png As with all good stories, as one chapter closes, another opens. Such is the way in the already singles-rich chronicle of ‘Materia’ – Cosmic Gate’s episodic seventh album project. Following the considerable success of January’s “impressive” “roots return” (DJ Mag) “made for the clubs” (MIXMAG) maiden Chapter, today sees ‘Materia’ enter its second, entrancing phase. Through winter and spring, its producers, singers and songwriters have burnt the midnigh…

    Sied-van-Riel-Rielism-Four.jpg Yep, it’s been longer-than-the-average since the mix-comp world received its last Rielity check. Not without noble cause though! The hands of its mixer-in-chief have been anything but idle in the interim. The release of its third edition, two + years back, coincided with the launch of Sied’s Rielism Records imprint. The intervening months and years have all passed with one goal in mind for ‘Rielisms’: musical self-sufficiency. Full developmental focus was applied a…

    Lowland-the-Other-Side-300x300.jpg youtube.com/watch?v=g9zJkXzScgE Within the scene, Lowland is a name regularly spoken with hushed reverence. Through his ‘Classic Trancelations’ albums, he’s the man largely credited with first drawing the line between the now familiar worlds of orchestral music and trance. He’s also a composer somewhat more spoken-of than musically heard-from. Recording when – and only when – inspired, the Finlander enjoys the additional cachet of release rarity. Inspiration ha…

    Mota-Mota-Cover-Art-Remixes-300x300.jpg With his performance at EDC Vegas still dominating #TheNineSkies rearview, Markus Schulz expands the program with two new adaptions of ‘Mota-Mota’. Talla 2XLC and Arkham Knights are the artists charged with taking Dakota & Koen Groeneveld’s techno leviathan further down the bunny hole. Extra crunch to the percussion, added impetus to her tempo, greater stalk to the bass and even more menacing murk to its mainline! Who dares twist ‘Mota-Mota’ into something…

    Leroy-Moreno-Cerulean-Original-Mix.jpg youtube.com/watch?v=_94NqUmeKFg In the type of quick succession born only of true passion, the last 14 months have seen Leroy Moreno serve floors with a veritable track stampede. Over the course ‘Lux’, ‘Celestia’, ‘Eternal Now’, ‘Malta’ and ‘Aurora’ have each found their way into the hearts of later night floors and more up-for-it clubbers. Checking his stride in no way whatsoever, our Texan tranceateer now puts June firmly between the crosshairs!! To his i…

    Alex-M.O.R.P.H.-Eric-Lumiere-Heart-Of-Life-Skylex-Remix-300x300.jpg youtube.com/watch?v=hF1ysn2l77s He’s an Alex whose name has been on a considerable number of trance lips over the last 12 months. No, we’re not talking about Mr. M.O.R.P.H. on this occasion. (He’s been on everyone’s lips for 10 years and more!). It is in fact Denver’s Alex Kotliarsky, the man who behind one of last year’s biggest trance breakouts: the Beatport-topping Skylex remix of Thrillseekers’ ‘Amber’. Germany’s Alex has dr…

    Roger-Shah-Magic-Island-Vol.-8-300x300.jpg youtube.com/watch?v=LfT6c5a67f0 Musically encapsulating the summertime is something that’s held musicians’ rapt for decades. To some an art form, to others something approaching a science even, but to Roger Shah, it’s more like a calling. In his career that purpose has manifested in many forms. None have been more steadfast and successful than his ‘Magic Island: Music For Balearic People’ compilation series though. With the same certainty that May turns…

    1177601755.jpg youtube.com/watch?v=M3D-y2eCVtI Trance with a distinct undertone of house is the medicine that Italian talent Emanuele Braveri’s made his name supplying. The Veneto-based producer has now been plying his inimitable brand of electronic music to ever-greater acclaim over the last five years. And in that vein, ‘Only A Dream’ - his latest studio creation - is what’s brought him to VANDIT’s door for the first time. As May gives way to June, inevitably we’re all letting some tunes of – …

Indeed it is not, as this is the other Simon Templar (albeit a no less saintly one!).

Registering on its radar with ever-increasing frequency over the last few years, releases like ‘Break My Fall’ (alongside Linnea Schossow), ‘Blood Drunk’ and ‘Willy Wonka’ have seen the Dubliner hit high gear. What Shane’s brought to VANDIT’s door this May is some…

    Farhad-Mahdavi-Argentina-Original-Mix-300x300.jpg youtube.com/watch?v=pef3v80He2M Seasoned VANDIT watchers will most quickly associate Mr. Madhavi’s name with ‘Together Again’ – his 2016 Paul van Dyk /Sue McLaren co-production. That - alongside a raft of releases (including ‘Warsaw’, ‘Distant’ and his 2015 album debut ‘Tehran Echoes’), have seen Farhad firmly established in the world of trance. This however is his first solo outing on VANDIT, and for that, we suspect, the Iranian producer’s been…

Its premiere was met with an immediate online ‘full release please!’ clamour-call. Long a downtime listening favourite of John’s, he’s managed to port ‘Two Trees’ to an entirely new audience. Faithfully transposing the sequences and arrangements that made neoclassical piece such an inspiration, he’…

    15787601-300x300.jpg Following January’s smash ‘Here & Now’ team-up with Tenishia, tonally, ‘Carry Me Away’ sees JES turn to face the summer. To that end she’s gotten together with Game Chasers (aka studio duo Clint Maximus & Shant Shimie) to fashion a sublime-as-it-is-blissful slice of cooler, more trop-themed house. Aside from the infectious nature of its all-day-play Original, ‘Carry Me Away’ sports some equally fine remix options. By degrees, both Markus Schulz and the Game Chasers themselve…

Three months ago, Cosmic Gate introduced the world to ‘Materia Chapter.One’ – the seventh entry in their illustrious album canon. “Made for the club” was how MIXMAG portrayed its music (in their March Album of the Month review), and that’s something that resonates ever greater this April. Today, Nic & Bossi are excited to…
