Ibiza Trance 2018

Ibiza Trance 2018 at Privilege’s Vista Club. The latest trance music night in Ibiza is Shine. It runs on Monday nights from July 9 to September 17. Since Cream announced the end of its trance nights, this is excellent news for trance fanatics.

Shine on Monday is the brainchild of Paul van Dyk’s Vandit and former Cream promoter, Nick Ferguson. Even though trance has waned in recent years, there is still a following on the White Isle. Nick said of trance,

Trance has deep roots on the island of Ibiza.

Trance has had its spiritual home in Ibiza since the 1990s. Shine plans to bring back what they call the human spirit, an all-encompassing inclusive experience for not just the club goers, but for the artists, talent, and staff.

Paul van Dyk described the concept behind Shine.

what SHINE offers, is a world of opportunities – a hub to an international community.

Shine will provide trance music lovers with an altered state of mind experience. The visual and auditory production design is full of magic and positive energy.

Vista is the club within the world’s super club that is Privilege. For over five years, Privilege earned a reputation for its mind-blowing atmosphere and sheer size. Dance within the twenty-five-meter-high glass pyramid ceiling under the stars and at dawn, under the sun. Sunrise sets are life-altering with the music blending with the panorama view across La Isla Blanca that stretches to Dalt Vila. This clubbing experience is a rite of passage for electronic music fans.

Pryda Elements EP

May 24, 2018 by PrimeEV

Pryda Elements EP

Pryda Elements EP is the latest release from Swedish progressive house music DJ Producer Eric Prydz. This EP is hotly anticipated and long overdue. Considered a true master of progressive house music, he is believed to be one of the most talented producers of his time. Instead of choosing one single for our progressive house music track of the month for May 2018, we chose this EP in its entirety.

Elements provide his fans with four songs true to his sound. They run the spectrum of sounds from beautiful bright synths to deep dark bass. It’s a perfect mixture of industrial and grimy with progressive and soulful. Each track builds toward Olympian heights at lengths no shorter than six minutes. This EP is magnificent and precisely what differentiates Pryda from the rest of the world.

The four tracks are:

1. ‘Elements,’ at 8:08 is a trek into progressive house.
2. ‘Obsessive Progressive,’ at 8:34 is a melancholy mood of brooding synths.
3. ‘The HoaX,’ at 7:27 is a techno track of epic proportions.
4. ‘Project L.O.V.E,’ is the shortest track at 6:13 and has a limitless sound and leaves you on a higher note.

You can listen to ‘Elements’ below directly from Eric Prydz’s Soundcloud page. If you haven’t already done so, follow that page.

You can sample the other three tracks at Beatport.

Will Crockford Chasing Cities

Will Crockford Chasing Cities

Will Crockford Chasing Cities with Rosie Darling released on May 11, 2018, on Chroma Records is our EDM track of the month for May 2018. Rosie provides her sultry vocals on this offering.

Her voice is delicate but confident, and it fits the theme of this song perfectly.

The inspiration for this song came from Rosie’s difficulties of living in a big city, separated from her love. She spent the Summer of 2017 living in Nashville, Tennessee. Will wanted to create a melody appropriately emotional enough to convey that message.

One interesting tidbit is that they created this track in pieces. Will and Rosie were never together. She sent him an acapella of the first verse. Will wrote the instrumental around the acapella verse. Rosie took Will’s version and re-recorded a full release in acapella with harmonies and adlibs.

Will took the pieces provided by Rosie and assembled them into the final version. Will painstakingly worked to bring the vocals into the sound he wanted. Though it was Rosie’s song, she allowed Will carte blanche to be creative.

Will said of working with Rosie,

She’s such a talented artist, and her voice is so unique that when it came time to put it together, it all flowed very easily.

Oasis Festival Morocco 2018

Oasis Festival Morocco 2018 occurs this September 14 to 16. On the outskirts of Marrakech surrounded by the stunning Atlas Mountains, experience the best the underground has to offer. Phase Three lineup includes heavyweights Ben Klock, Damian Lazarus, and Stephan Bodzin (Live) joining the ranks for Oasis’ fourth edition. Adding to an already impressive list of the ‘Who’s Who’ of house and techno including Carl Cox, Avalon Emerson, DJ Koze, Honey Dijon, Jessy Lanza, Mount Kimbie, Peggy Gou, and The Black Madonna, Oasis Festival is set to be a stand-out on the destination music festival calendar this summer.

Chief amongst these latest names is Ben Klock, the techno heavyweight with ties to the world-famous Berghain, Ostgut Ton imprint, and his own influential Klockworks label. Also announced is desert house shaman Damian Lazarus who runs the Crosstown Rebels empire, Bestival founder and encyclopedia of all musical forms, Rob Da Bank, and fans can look forward to a unique live set from longtime techno favorite Stephan Bodzin. An additional live set will also come from George Fitzgerald, whose excellent latest album ‘All That Must Be’ features collaborations with Bonobo and Lil Silva.

Next to these big names are innovative young stars like DJ Boring who will go back to back with Austrian talent Demuja, and Rhythm Section and Eglo’s deep house, broken beat specialist Henry Wu back-to-back with Moroccan funk, house and jazz connoisseur Polyswitch.

Germany’s razor-sharp lo-fi house producer DJ Slyngshot also lines up with others like Bali-based Dea Barandana who is frequently championed by Gilles Peterson. Add in JDH & Dave P who hail from New York and Philadelphia and run the FIXED parties, plus Casablanca label Casa Voyager, and you have a diverse yet coherent lineup of passionate selectors gracing the Oasis decks.

Mixing an authentic cultural experience with a world-class soundtrack, traditional local customs, and friendly hosts, Oasis Festival caters to those passionate about adventurous travel and the quality sounds of the underground. Taking place at the magical and luxurious Fellah Hotel at the foot of the Atlas Mountains, the Oasis Festival grounds are ripe with tropical gardens, palm trees, cacti, and sun-soaked swimming pools all backed by breathtaking vistas. Bringing something fresh to the region and offering a chance to party under the North African stars and warm summer rays, there are—for the first time this year—three stages at Oasis Festival, and each one offers an immersive experience like no other.

Phase Three tickets are still available for $198.00 and Phase Four tickets are soon to be released.

Gabriel and Dresden Underwater

Gabriel and Dresden Underwater

Gabriel and Dresden Underwater featuring Jan Burton, Tinlicker Remix is our progressive house track of the month for May 2018. Originally released on their iTunes dance album The Only Road (2017), the Tinlicker rework of Underwater has a release date of May 1, 2018, on the Anjunabeats label.

Of their sound, Dresden said,

It is always about being timeless.

Gabriel affirmed,

We don’t pay much attention to trends. We choose sounds and words that…will mean something to a lot of people and…make them put their hands in the air.

Gabriel & Dresden have an extensive soundscape, profoundly euphoric vocalist, and an infectious bass line. This Dutch rework preserves the hallmarks of their unique sound while deriving a new conflagration to the electronic dance music scene.

Tinlicker

The Dutch duo Tinlicker, comprised of Micha Heyboer and Jordi van Achthoven from Utrecht, Netherlands, worked their progressive magic on this dance floor bomb. A rare talent, Tinlicker’s sound is at home on either Anjuna label.

A pulsating, groove-heavy rework, this is another dance floor oriented remix.

Electronic synths make your introduction. Jan Burton’s deep yet sensual voice slowly follows. You get a sense of the synthesizer sounds of the 1980s from the likes of Gary Numan, Depeche Mode, Human League, and New Order. The elemental sounds of Tinlicker shine through though.

‘Underwater’ repeats, and at 122 bpm, the synths nearly feel like you’re swimming slowly in a deep and calm ocean. At the midpoint, Burton’s vocals speak and the pulsing bass returns.

Andre Saint Albin Empty Promises

Andre Saint Albin Empty Promises is our progressive house track of the month for April 2018. Born in Paris, France, Andre or commonly known as Dre, resides in Miami, Florida. Dre honed his craft in nightclubs in France, Spain, and Korea. He performed at Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas 2014.

Dre has been making quite a name for himself as of late. He has been driving his fusion of electro and progressive sound to the forefront. First was his debut EP, ’37,’ which he debuted at EDC Las Vegas 2014. ’37’ reached numbers 21 and 28 on the Electro Chart and Progressive House Chart respectively. The single ‘Watt’ reached number 21 on the Electro House Chart and Top 50 on the dance charts in Spain. “Watt” ranked in the Top 100 song downloads and is currently #18260 in all-time MP3 Downloads on Amazon.

Classified as progressive house, Dre’s latest single ‘Empty Promises’ is more akin to big room or mainstage. The beautiful melody and vocals provide an emotional atmosphere. The crescendo or drops get you dancing.

You were living in, a world of make believe
And I tried so hard, to make you believe
But I was stuck,
In between,
you and your broken dreams
Now I’m watching you fall down, right in front of me
Now I’m watching you fall down, breaking at the seams
Now I’m watching you fall down, breaking at the seams

Tell… me…..
Noooo-thingggg….
Nothing else but you beeee – lieveeee in me

You got caught up feeling like you’re never there
And I tried to be there
Empty promises that show me you don’t care
But all I need
is a single word…
A single thought
forever there,

Telllll… meeee….
Yoooou… believe….
You believe in more than you can seeeeee
Now I’m watching you fall down, right in front of me

Now I’m watching you fall down, breaking at the seams

Tell… me….. No-thing…. No-thing else but you be – lieve in me
