SIT 80 Cosmic Doors - White Muse

SIT 80 Cosmic Doors - White Muse

Released on Monday 30th September 2013.

Stories In Trance continues to showcase the very best that trance has to offer, and here we proudly present our 80th release, this time brought to us by Cosmic Doors with the three track single White Muse.

As is customary, we start with the Original. Cosmic Doors - Italians Alexander One (Petrone Carmelo) and Davide Battista (Gabriele Stefanini)- make their long awaited follow up to their first original with us, the unforgettable Oblique (SIT #33). They have made several outstanding appearances for Stories In Trance, most recently their brilliant remix of Thunderwolf’s We Love Trance (SIT #77). Once again they are on top form serving up this superb track. Power, pace and energy added to a big room lead come together in  a production of the highest quality. Nothing less than brilliant; as one would expect from such a talented duo.

The first remix comes from Frenchman Jonathan Araldi under his now familiar French Skies alias. After his debut on Stories In Trance in the shape of The Wings Of A Dream (SIT #58) he has contributed several fine remixes, the most recent being his two contrasting versions of Thunderwolf’s This Is Our Life (SIT #75). This powerful adaptation features the subtly tweaked lead melody whilst expertly weaving in additional aspects from the original’s texture to create a pure, energetic interpretation with a feel of its own. This is a perfect illustration of what to expect from French Skies and why we are delighted to continue our association with him on Stories In Trance.

The final version comes from Thunderwolf with his first official remix. Taiwanese newcomer Thunderwolf (Tseng Chih Young) recently made his bow on SIT with three immense originals, the most recent of those been the seminal China Spring (SIT #79). This time he turns his talents toward a remix and the outcome is impressive. Excellent layering, fantastic production techniques and a creative use of the lead melody all make this a memorable and standout production. Look out for plenty more from this very exciting producer on Stories In Trance in the future.

Stories In Trance aims to uncover the most talented and imaginative new producers and team up with some of the more established names in the scene to work together in evolving the sound. This release sticks firmly to our philosophy of showcasing a diverse range of sounds within trance and we hope you'll enjoy the variety of imagination and creativity on offer in this release.

This is Stories In Trance, and we present to you our 79th release. For your consideration, here is Thunderwolf with China Spring.

As usual, first up is the original.

Look out for plenty more from this very exciting producer on Stories In Trance in the future.

Up second we have Max Stealthy's version. Max has an extensive list of tracks and remixes with us, most recently his fine remix of Simza's Ann (SIT #74) and his double A-Sided single Flyin Red / Time To Cry (SIT #67). Max has built up a potent reputation for himself with his consistent production prowess and once again he serves up a truly brilliant track, expertly crafted with a great lead melody backed with fantastic effects, depth and 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 next remix comes from Englishman Craig London. Craig's career to date has seen him make an immense arrival on Stories In Trance with his epic remix of Sakiva’s Hammer (SIT #63) and most recently his fantastic remix of Simza’s Ann (SIT #74). Expertly adapting the lead into an uplifting and energetic version of the original, this has all the qualities to be a major success. Craig perfectly shows his undoubted talents with this remix and why we should all keep an eye on this very promising producer in the future.

The final part of this package comes from David Surok. David is back with his first offering since his double A-Sided single Breeze / Tornado (SIT #71) and it's more of the quality we have now come to expect from him. Presented here is an energetic and uplifting trancer; the unique lead melody used to perfection with subtle yet effective touches, which all added together with the beautiful feel of the piece make a seriously fine remix. A sublime and delightful track to savour from a very talented and quickly emerging force on Stories In Trance.
