Skywell returns to Stories In Trance for our 89th release with the three track single Awakening.

First things first, we start with the Original. Swedish producer Skywell (Jonas Skyldeberg) made his production debut with his brilliant track Gothenburg (SIT #84) and then turned his hand to a remix with awesome results: his sublime remix of Grey Cloud (SIT #85). Now back with his second original Awakening, Jonas expertly uses the fine lead melody amidst some stunning layering and effects, which come together brilliantly in this creative and well polished tune. We won't tell you what this track should remind you of or what feelings it should evoke, as the listener it's up to you to make this track personal however that may be, but there is no doubt that it is a superb piece of trance.

Two excellent remixes back up the Original mix and the first comes from none other than Airborne Angel. Gustaf Westin is back on remix duties for his friend and compatriot Jonas after his remix of Gothenburg (SIT #84). As usual his amazing production skills are on full show as he crafts a unique interpretation of the lead melody into a remix that stands up there with the very best. Bespoke. Beautiful. Pure Brilliance. We expect nothing less from Airborne Angel. A must have for everyone who loves trance.

The final track on this release is the Vaali Remix. Russian producer Vaali (Arthur Valiev) made his production debut with his fabulous track My City (SIT #81) and after being inspired when hearing Jens Jakob's Euphorica he requested the opportunity to remix the track, the end result was the staggering remix that featured on Grey Cloud/Euphorica (SIT #85). Once again Vaali shows his undoubted talents with this immense remix; short, succinct  yet well defined, using all the assets of the original infused with Vaali's trademark production quality all add up to a truly great interpretation.

With this release Stories In Trance shows once again why it is the most diverse and individual label in trance. Always driven by the ideals that we started out with and our ever keen attention to detail, we encourage freedom of expression from all involved in our projects. The end result is pure, undiluted creativity. Because of this, and above all, we are proud to put them out there.

Released on Monday 23rd December 2013.

Stories In Trance are truly proud to give to you SIT 88 by Max Stealthy with his debut album 'It's A Matter Of Time'.

After nearly four years, Stories In trance offer up our first artist album and it's from one of the most important and influential producers on our label- Poland's Max ‘Stealthy’ Szalko.

Max’s productions beautifully combine strong lead melodies with pace and power, but he has the ability to offer up a wide range of styles with trance, and this is perfectly demonstrated with the quality and diversity on this 10 track album. After making his debut on SIT in the autumn of 2011 with his sublime Charge EP (SIT #14) Max has produced many great originals and remixes and has played a definitive part in some of our most notable releases to date.

Titled 'It's A Matter Of Time' this reflects over 3 years in the making and features a selection of his best tracks from his previous releases as well as some new productions written especially for this album. In our opinion this album is one of the most impressive we have seen for some time, and feel that quality comes from the fact that all the previously released tracks have been featured on some very strong releases and the new tracks have been created purposely to sit alongside the finest of his previous work. There is no album filler tracks on 'It's A Matter Of Time' and we think that makes it one of the very best EDM artist albums in many a year.

Max has and continues to be one of the most significant producers on Stories In Trance and it is truly a pleasure to put out this fantastic album that features ten pieces of trance excellence.

With this release Stories In Trance shows once again why it is the most diverse and individual label in trance. Always driven by the ideals that we started out with and our ever keen attention to detail, we encourage freedom of expression from all involved in our projects. The end result is pure, undiluted creativity. Because of this, and above all, we are proud to put them out there.

SIT 87 Craig London - Drop Zone

Released on Monday 16th December 2013.

Stories In Trance are pleased to offer up SIT 87 by Craig London with the three track single Drop Zone.

As is now tradition, firstly we have the original mix. Craig's career to date has seen him make several impressive appearances with us with some fine remixes, most recently his fantastic version of Fly Away (SIT #86) which was preceded by his debut originals with the Double A-Sided Single Footprints and The Colour Of Gold. Once again Craig is on top form showcasing his vast talents, and this time he gives us a more energetic and powerful original. The excellent lead melody is backed up by driving mids and powerful bass- all the hallmarks of a big room stormer. Craig has had an excellent 2013 and in our opinion is one of the best new producers in the scene, so look out for plenty more from him coming soon.

Up second we have Max Stealthy's version. Max has been a key player on Stories In Trance for some years now, and has an extensive list of tracks and remixes with us, most recently his brilliant version of Ignite (SIT #82). Max has built himself a potent reputation with his consistent production prowess and once again he serves up a truly great track, expertly evolving the great lead melody, backed with fantastic effects, depth and driving mids. Max's production technique continues to go from strength to strength showing yet more innovation and imagination. A great remix to add to his fantastic discography.

The third and final part of Drop Zone comes from Dutchman Locus (Walter Lootens). Locus made a fantastic debut on Stories In Trance with his remix of White Poison (SIT #57) and followed that with his earth shattering version of Heavenly Delight (SIT #73). After a little breather, he returns in emphatic fashion with another fine remix: a short, concise rethink that is packed with energy and power, expertly using the lead to great effect. Locus really is an exciting and promising young producer who we have no doubt will bring lots more creativity to trance in the future.

With this release Stories In Trance shows once again why it is the most diverse and individual label in trance.

SIT 61 Lev Rubel - Share Your Moment

SIT 61 Lev Rubel - Share Your Moment

Released on Monday 8th April 2013.

Stories In Trance is happy to give you our 61st release, this time by Lev Rubel with Share Your Moment. The three track single includes the original, Cosmic Doors and Konstantin Svilev remixes.

Up first we have the original. Lev made his production debut for Stories In Trance with Insomnia as featured on the Tibbs EP (SIT #44) in October 2012 then backed that up with Fairyland (SIT #53) and fantastic remixes of Ethereal (SIT #49), Bridgestone (SIT #52) and Exit (SIT #56). He once more proves his undoubted talent with warm and delicate backing to the emphatic lead, a delightful flow and feel added to the excellent production technique making this a track to savour. Lev is a producer who continues to be widely influential on Stories In Trance.

The first remix comes from a duo who are no strangers to Stories In Trance, but under a new alias - Cosmic Doors - who you might know better as BB Sound/Alexander One & Davide Battista. Italians Alexander One (Petrone Carmelo) and Davide Battista (Gabriele Stefanini) have made several outstanding appearances for Stories In Trance, including brilliant reinterpretations of Max Stealthy's Arrinera (SIT #25), White Motion's Solis (SIT #28), Yaven's Zeal (SIT #38) and most recently French Skies' The Wings Of A Dream (SIT #58) as well as their first original for us under their BB Sound alias with the seminal Oblique (SIT #33). Once again they are on top form adding their own flavour to the original and taking it down a more uplifting route. Power, pace and energy are in abundance, a remix of the highest quality.

The third remix comes from Konstantin Svilev. Konstantin made his debut for Stories In Trance on our Endeavour EP (SIT #51) with City and backed that up with his remix of Four Points' Bridgestone (SIT #52), then his first solo release with Exit (SIT #56). He is at his best again with this energetic and ever progressing rework of the original. Undoubtedly inspired by the Belgian trance sound of the late 90's and early 2000's, be sure to check out more of Konstantin's work with us in 2013. Another one of our discoveries we are happy to showcase on Stories In Trance.

SIT 60 Garton & Carter Present Triumvirate - The Persistence Of Memory

Garton & Carter Present Triumvirate - The Persistence Of Memory

Released on Monday 1st April 2013.

Stories In Trance is extremely proud to present release number 60 - Garton & Carter Present Triumvirate with The Persistence Of Memory. The four track single includes the original 1931 mix, Bismark, Ico and French Skies remixes.

First up is the 1931 Mix. After many years of buying, listening and releasing trance through our label and following our production debut with the rework of David Surok's Sunset (SIT #47), the collective talents of us at Stories In Trance decided to create this bespoke track working under the moniker of Triumvirate. Inspired by the older structure and style of trance, which was the reason we were drawn to trance music in the late 90's early 2000's, we offer up something reminiscent of the good old days.  Using state of the art studio equipment we have produced an old school power trancer. The beautifully crafted intro leads into the deep rich bass line and the constantly evolving and changing lead melody backed with sublime layering and a mesmeric break culminates powerfully into something special. This is one for fans of everything that trance once was to savour.

The first remix comes from Italian legend Bismark. Marco Bisegna was a key part in defining the legacy that was the massive Italian label BXR, along with Mauro Picotto, Gianfranco Bortolotti, Mario Piu and several others. The BXR philosophy is one that we are indebted to, as we emulate its eclectic range of productions and believe in strength through diverse releases. So it is an honour to have Bismark on Stories In Trance. He made his debut for us with his remix of Rominica (SIT #15) and backed that up alongside his sound engineering wizard Andrea Tamashi, and Marco Angelici to give us Markus with Smoke Of Glory (SIT #55). This time Bismark delivers something more associated with his BXR days, with production once again second to none, he uses one of the many layers of the original to perfection; a powerful and aggressive bass backed with truly outstanding mids and fantastic layering, this is in a word 'AWESOME'.

The second remix comes from Sweden's Ico (John Eriksson) with his Memorizing remix. With tracks and remixes so far on labels such as Diverted, D Max and Nile Tunes, his excellent work brought him to our attention last year so we are delighted to get him on board with this remix. Ico delivers an energetic, uplifting and emotional trancer. We feel Ico is certainly one of trance's best up and coming producers so keep a close eye on his future creations.

The final part of this four piece puzzle comes from French Skies. He has been honing his production and remixing skills on labels such as Crystal Source, TFB, Club Nation, Pulsar, Tellurium, Mycore, Linger, Amplified Digital, Restate and 1103 Music and is fast becoming one of trance's most promising producers. After his debut on Stories In Trance in the shape of The Wings Of A Dream (SIT #58) he turns his hand to a remix for us and again delivers with what is fast becoming his signature style. Comprising of a great lead melody whilst subtly and expertly weaving aspects from the original into the mix, backed with stunning atmospheric touches, this is a perfect illustration of what to expect from French Skies and why we are delighted to continue showcasing him on Stories In Trance. All in all we couldn't be happier with this release, with an overall quality far too seldom seen these days.

SIT 59 spArk - Lost In You EP

SIT 59 spArk - Lost In You EP

Stories In Trance present our 59th release in the form of Lost In You EP by Egyptian producer spArk (Kareem Sharara). This excellent four track EP includes Lost In You, Revolution, Falcon & Chaos.

spArk has become a major contributor to Stories In Trance and made a fine debut with his original track Clouds Come (SIT #17).  Proving that was no fluke he followed with his euphoric retake on Max Stealthy's Arrinera (SIT #25), setting the standard high for his second original My Freedom (SIT #37) which exceeded expectation.  His most recent appearance was a superb remix of White Motion's Come Inside (SIT #54). This time he showcases four originals that perfectly represent all his qualities and talent.

First we have Lost In You. This is spArk as we know and love, energy and emotion at its finest. Pure uplifting trance brilliance and the deserving title track of this fantastic EP.

In second we have Revolution, again the usual uplifting excellence with an added twist in the shape of a live guitar recording from spArk. Proving his diverse musical vision and skills to match this is a stormer to savour.

The third track Falcon shows how versatile spArk is. A more progressive piece of trance with a great lead, beautiful feel and fantastic production all adding up to this sumptuous offering.

The final track is Chaos, a similar overall flavour as Falcon and a fine end to this awesome EP.  This is a very dynamic and diverse four track selection with something for everyone to enjoy.

SIT 58 French Skies - The Wings Of A Dream

SIT 58 French Skies - The Wings Of A Dream

Released world wide on Monday 18th March 2013.

Stories In Trance present our 58th release and it's a debut for French producer French Skies aka Jonathan Araldi with the three track single The Wings Of A Dream.

French Skies has been honing his production and remixing skills on labels such as Crystal Source, TFB, Club Nation, Pulsar, Tellurium, Mycore, Linger, Amplified Digital, Restate and 1103 Music and is fast becoming one of trance's most promising producers. We are proud to showcase this very exciting talent on Stories In Trance in the shape of The Wings Of A Dream; an energetic, uplifting and emotional piece of trance. Comprising of a great lead melody backed with stunning atmospheric touches, this is a perfect illustration of what to expect from French Skies.  This is one to savour and there is lots more to come from him on Stories In Trance so watch this space.

The first remix comes from a duo who are no strangers to Stories In Trance, but under a new alias - Cosmic Doors - who you might know better as BB Sound/Alexander One & Davide Battista.  Italians Alexander One (Petrone Carmelo) and Davide Battista (Gabriele Stefanini) have made several outstanding appearances for Stories In Trance, including brilliant reinterpretations of Max Stealthy's Arrinera (SIT #25), White Motion's Solis (SIT #28) and most recently Yaven's Zeal (SIT #38) as well as their first original for us under their BB Sound alias with the seminal 'Oblique' (SIT #33). Once again their work does not disappoint as their 'Reboot' is a truly fantastic rethink combining all the beauty of the original with their own trademark touches and production style. A sure fire hit.

The third part of this single comes from Hungarian David Surok.  David's first release Sunset / Sunrise (SIT #47) was followed by his excellent remix of Alex Blest & Stonewave's Ethereal (SIT #49) and then Never Let Me Go on Endeavour EP (SIT #51). David again shows his undoubted talent with this great remix, adding his usual flavour to the lead.  It's hard to know which of these three tracks is best so we'll let you decide -  a stunning all around uplifting release.
