SIT 110 Rhythmsport - Divinity EP


SIT 110 Rhythmsport - Divinity EP.

Released on Monday 24th November 2014.

Stories In Trance present SIT 110 by Rhythmsport with the three track Divinity EP.

Russian producer Rhythmsport (Alex Elenes) makes his original debut with us after previously delivering the goods on two remixes, most recently his excellent version of Triumvirate’s Nostalgic Echo (SIT 108). On offer here is a brilliant and diverse three track EP that showcases all his talents.

Up first we have the title track Divinity. This is a real big room trancer with a superb lead melody that is perfectly backed up by sublime production finesse. Without a doubt this is a true standout production.

The next track is Destiny: this time it's a faster and tougher piece that balances a more aggressive feel with delicate and atmospheric touches that is illustrated to great effect by the euphoric break.

Rounding things off on this exceptionally strong EP is Inspiration. Something different once again with a more uplifting and driving edge to this track that blends the powerful lead with instantly recognizable pads all complimented to great effect by strong low end power.

There is something for everyone on this release, three really top tracks that make up a sensational EP and a release for Rhythmsport to be proud of.

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 109 Igor Stroom - Yushanly.

Released on Monday 13th October 2014.

Check out all the mixes with the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ajixb06_ZS0

Stories In Trance give you SIT 109 by Igor Stroom with the three track single Yushanly.

Named in honour of his homeland, up first we have the original mix of Yushanly. Following on from his excellent remix of Zos Van Zindell's Victorious (SIT 103), Igor is back with his first original since The Sun (SIT 48). Yet again he shows why he has become one of Eastern Europe's most notable producers. A perfectly well balanced and melodically strong track accompanied by his usual fantastic production technique he produces a real progressive masterpiece. With beautiful layering this is a stunning track from Igor and a brilliant addition to his ever impressive catalogue of tracks and remixes. Sure to be a smash in any set or mix.

Next up is the Craig London remix. Craig's career to date has seen him make plenty of impressive appearances on SIT with some fine remixes and originals, most recently his awesome track A New Beginning (Trance is Here Anthem, SIT 107). So, fresh from that Craig offers another remix repaying the favour to Igor Stroom who so expertly remixed his last original. Showcasing his vast talents, this energetic and infectious track uses all the melodic excellence from the original and fuses that with Craig's usual production finery that results in a delightful musical journey. This is yet another slice of sumptuous trance that adds to his ever-flourishing reputation.

The final part of this release is the Matt Mancid remix. Hailing from Germany, Matt is on remix duty for the fourth time following his last track his version of Vaali's Say What (SIT 93). This remix is a perfect representation of his talents; a beautiful, warm and fantastically well produced piece of trance that has all the qualities of Igor’s piece with Matt's own distinctive touches that gives a brilliant alternative to the original.

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 108 Triumvirate - Nostalgic Echo (Including Mac & Monday Remix)

SIT 108 Triumvirate - Nostalgic Echo (Including Mac & Monday Remix).

Released on Monday 6th October 2014.

Check out all the mixes with the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOndhnPHCv8

Stories In Trance are proud to give to you SIT 108 by Triumvirate with this epic five track single Nostalgic Echo.

Up first we have the 1935 mix as Garton & Carter under their Triumvirate alias offer up their second original production after the two incarnations of The Persistence Of Memory- the original release (SIT 60) and the Centenary rework (SIT 100). Inspired by the older structure and style of trance, which was the reason we were drawn to the music in the late 1990's, we offer up something reminiscent of the best of times. Using state of the art studio equipment we have produced a powerful old school trancer, driven and structured around original melodic composition and supplemented by the deep, rich bass and kick, adding some driving percussive layering throughout and the addition of some beautiful piano synths. The delightfully crafted lead melody is backed with sublime layering and a mesmeric potent break which culminates powerfully into something special. This is one for fans of everything that trance once was to savour, in the ever decreasing company of tracks that are guided by originally composed melodies and underpinned by ever evolving and progressing structures. Real music isn't just about the latest, most modern sounds or plugins: most importantly it should make the listener feel something and engage you by letting the concept and composition be interpreted by those who listen. We hope you enjoy.

Up next we have something very special indeed, an incredible remix from Hungarian duo Mac & Monday! Eight years after their first productions under Mac & Monday, Norbert Darvas & Dávid Németh have made many excellent tracks and remixes on some of the biggest labels in the scene such as Premier, In Trance We Trust, Dedicated, Monster Tunes, Harmonic Breeze and most prolifically Borderline. For their remix they give us something truly spectacular; a driving and powerful track that focuses on the more atmospheric parts of the original and add some of their own cultured and sublimely well rounded melodic touches. Mac & Monday are one of our favourite artists in the scene and their remix is something that is to be savoured, standing alongside some of the very best trance of all time. This track is a must have for all true trance enthusiasts and makes an essential addition to any and all sets and mixes. This is without question a track for the ages!

The second remix comes from SIT stalwart Craig London. Craig's career to date has seen him make plenty of impressive appearances on SIT with an abundance of fine remixes and originals, most recently his awesome track A New Beginning (Trance Is Here Anthem, SIT 107). So, fresh from that Craig offers another remix showcasing his vast talents with this energetic and infectious take on the original that ebbs and flows seamlessly. This remix focuses around just a few of the melodic components of the original but builds around them to great effect with driving low end mids and superb atmospheric layering: this is yet another slice of excellent trance from Craig and another fabulous remix that adds to his ever-flourishing reputation.

The next remix comes from Stories In Trance legend Derrick Meyer who brings his unique style to create this superb version. Being one of the USA's best uplifting trance producers, Derrick's back catalogue with us is vast and equally great with his last outing - his remix of Craig London’s Falling Down (SIT 95) - being a perfect illustration of his exceptional talent. Once again he delivers the goods with his usual production excellence - his unmistakable musical dynamics and expertly polished use of the melodic components all amount to a brilliant retake on the original. Derrick always manages to surprise and delight with his inventiveness and supremely well composed productions, evidently a true master of his craft.

The final remix comes from Rhythmsport who makes his second appearance with us after his debut remix of Blue Water (SIT 103). Here he puts his own spin on the original taking it down a more techy and aggressive route balancing an infusion of the original components against ideas of his own. A fine structure is perfectly complimented by an ever developing melody and superb mids and pads which all add up to a very accomplished and impressive remix. Rhythmsport is without question an exciting and very promising newcomer.

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.

Check out all the mixes with the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0nOv1bNkMw

Stories In Trance give you SIT 107 by Craig London with the four track single A New Beginning (Trance Is Here Anthem).

Craig's career to date has seen him make plenty of impressive appearances on SIT with some fine remixes and originals, most recently his awesome three track Daydreaming EP (SIT 104). So, fresh from that Craig offers another original written and named in honour of the new Trance Is Here Brand. Showcasing his vast talents with this energetic and infectious track that ebbs and flows seamlessly, this is yet another slice of sumptuous trance that adds to his ever-flourishing reputation.

Kicking off the remixes is Igor Stroom. Following on from his excellent remix of Zos Van Zindell's Victorious (SIT 103), Igor shows why he has become one of Eastern Europe's most notable producers. Perfectly using all the highlights of the original with his usual fantastic production technique he takes his remix down a more progressive route. With brilliant use of melodic components underpinned by fabulously rich mids this is a stunning remix from Igor and an awesome addition to his ever impressive catalogue of productions. Sure to be a smash in any set or mix.

Up next is the first of two remixes from Vaali. Russian producer Vaali (Arthur Valiev) has a vast collection of excellent tracks and remixes on SIT- recently offering up his fantastic remix of Triumvirate’s The Persistence Of Memory (Centenary Mixes, SIT 100) and his sublime Midnight EP (SIT 106). His first interpretation we get what we know and love from Vaali- power, potency, and wonderful production technique. The immense lead melody is complimented by a deep driving low-end and subtle yet definitive melodic touches, making this an energetic and powerful track from a very creative and talented producer.

In addition, Vaali serves up his ‘Alternative’ remix. Taking the original down a more techy progressive route he once again uses the lead melody to great effect, backed with deep, lush mids it all adds up to a creative and unique rethink of the original.

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.

Check out the tracks on the EP with the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=phliqcpOgig

Stories In Trance present SIT 106 by Vaali with the three track Midnight EP, including the tracks Midnight, The Firsen and Expectation.

Russian producer Vaali (Arthur Valiev) made his production debut with his fabulous track My City (SIT #81) and since then has backed that up with several excellent tracks and remixes- most recently offering up his remix of The Persistence Of Memory (Centenary Mixes, SIT #100). Once again he shows his vast and varied talents with three excellent tracks, starting with Midnight. In this short but truly superb track Vaali makes great use of every frame, with an immense lead melody complimented with beautifully rich mids, and underpinned with great effect by a deep driving kick which all makes this a fabulous track with an awesome feel.

Second on the EP is The Firsen. This time Vaali shows off his more uplifting style but even though this is the faster of the three tracks on the EP it doesn't lack any of the melodic and musical components of the other two. The fantastic lead melody is perfectly complimented by delightful atmospheric touches and the now trademark Vaali production excellence. This is a truly fine track.

The final offering is Expectation, and given how high the bar has been set by the standard of the EP to this point you won't be disappointed as yet again Vaali delivers the goods. This is a musical treat that is driven by strong, well defined melody and expertly garnished with subtle yet potent mids, every sound in the track adds something to the overall quality of the end product. It goes without saying that we are huge fans of Vaali's work as his productions illustrate everything that is great about trance, whatever the style.

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.

Up first we have Valhalla and just like his previous offerings this is a fine composition. Musically driven it has a sublime feel, backed with subtle yet potent percussive and melodic evolution which all put together gives the track a well defined sound. This is once again a perfect example of the type of trance we love and are happy to showcase.

Complimenting that is Horizon.

Released on Monday 30th June 2014.

Check out all the mixes with the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eWPsDFpFtZU

Stories In Trance present SIT 103 by Zos Van Zindell with the three track Victorious EP Part 2.

After the release of the Victorious EP (SIT 101) we offer Part 2- the remix edition- which includes remixes of all three tracks from the original release by Igor Stroom, Rhythmsport and Max Stealthy.

Up first we have the Igor Stroom remix of Victorious. Following on from his excellent remix of Triumvirate’s The Persistence Of Memory (Centenary Mixes) (SIT 100), Igor shows why he has become one of Eastern Europe's most notable producers. Perfectly using all the highlights of the original with his usual fantastic production technique he takes his remix down a more progressive route. With beautiful layering this is a stunning remix from Igor and a brilliant addition to his ever impressive catalogue of tracks and remixes. Sure to be a smash in any set or mix.

The second remix comes in the shape of another debut on SIT from Rhythmsport AKA Alex Elenes with his version of Blue Water. Although a relative new arrival to the scene Alex has had appearances under his two aliases on labels such as 4Beat, Elliptical, Dub Tech, Somerhold, Vectiva and B-Sonic and it was his excellent track Nightfall on 4Beat earlier this year that brought him to our attention. He puts his own spin on the original and takes it down a more techy and aggressive route: a fine structure is perfectly complimented by an ever developing melody and superb mids and pads which all add up to a very accomplished and impressive remix. Alex is without question an exciting and very promising newcomer.

To finish we have the last of the three remixes, and this one comes from Stories In Trance legend Max Stealthy. Fresh from his sensational remix of The Persistence Of Memory (SIT 100) Max once again delivers the goods. He uses all the melodic components against a punchy kick and driving mids to awesome effect, perfectly blending the atmospheric elements to add substance and depth to the mix it all comes together superbly in this top class production from one of our very favourite artists. In our humble opinion Max has become one of the very best producers in the scene as all of his productions show he has an abundance of imagination, creativity and talent, and that is why we are extremely proud to work with him.

Up first is the title track Victorious and it lives up to its a-side billing. Victorious is musically and melodically superb, engaging and captivating from the start. The brilliant lead melody is perfectly complimented by a subtle yet polished production technique which all add up to a real standout track.

Next up is Blue Water and once again it follows a similar winning formula to Victorious: melodically driven by the defined lead and expertly backed with fabulous percussion and atmosphere. Blue Water is a beautifully warm and sophisticated original which illustrates Zos' musical creativity and talent.

The final track on this fine EP is Falling Into Darkness. A shorter offering from Zos this track gets straight to the point with energy, drive and well crafted layering being the hallmarks of this awesome tune. This EP is a great way to start our second hundred and is a must have for proper trance fans and DJ's alike.

SIT 100 Garton & Carter Present Triumvirate - The Persistence Of Memory (Centenary Mixes)

SIT 100 Garton & Carter Present Triumvirate - The Persistence Of Memory (Centenary Mixes).

Released On Monday 9th June 2014.

Check out all the mixes with the link below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Yq3l0CznT4

Stories In Trance are extremely proud to give to the world SIT #100 by Garton & Carter Present Triumvirate with the five track single The Persistence Of Memory - Centenary mixes.

After over four years and 99 releases we reach our century in fine style, from SIT #1 by Airborne Angel with Apollo on June 28th 2010 we have featured tracks and remixes by 82 different artists from around the globe within all the best trance styles that the sound has to offer and with that ideal always in mind we reach our century by reprising SIT #60's The Persistence Of Memory.

Up first we have the 2014 Restoration as Garton & Carter under their Triumvirate alias rework their first original production. Inspired by the older structure and style of trance, which was the reason we were drawn to the music in the late 1990'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. This time we make the track shorter and more potent by beefing up the bass and kick, adding some more driving percussive layering throughout and the addition of the beautiful Armenian instrument, the Duduk. The delightfully crafted lead melody is backed with sublime layering and a mesmeric break which culminates powerfully into something special. This is one for fans of everything that trance once was to savour and the perfect track for us to mark our 100th release.

Next we have the first of four remixes, and this one comes from Stories In Trance legend Max Stealthy. Fresh from his sensational remix of Skywell’s Pressure (SIT #98) Max once again delivers the goods. He uses all the melodic components against a punchy kick and driving mids to awesome effect. This is a really top class production from one of our very favourite artists; an absolute must have for any and all trance enthusiasts.

In third we give you the Vaali remix. Russian producer Vaali (Arthur Valiev) made his production debut with his fabulous track My City (SIT #81) and since then has backed that up with several excellent tracks and remixes- most recently offering up his double A-side Gladiator / Purple Blossom (SIT #96). In this short but truly superb remix Vaali makes every second count once again, as is now distinctive in his uplifting style. The immense lead melody is complimented with sensationally rich mids, underpinned with great effect by a deep driving kick making this an energetic and powerful track from a very creative and talented producer.

Following on we have the Igor Stroom remix. Igor is no stranger to SIT although it has been a while since his last appearance - his excellent remix of We Love Trance (SIT #77), Igor shows why he has become one of Eastern Europe's most notable producers. Perfectly using all the highlights of the original with his usual fantastic production technique he takes his remix down a more techy route, once again this is a stunning remix from Igor and a brilliant addition to his ever impressive catalogue of tracks and remixes. Sure to be a smash in any set or mix.

The final part of the 100th spectacular comes in the shape of yet another debut for Stories In Trance, this time from Starfi Electronica AKA Jason Mitchell. Under this alias he came to our attention with his awesome track Believe on AWJ Recordings earlier in 2014 and based on his production style we were very keen to work with him. There is no better way for this very talented artist to begin what is hopefully a long career with us than to finish off this truly special release in fine style. Taking the now unmistakable lead melody down a more progressive route this remix perfectly shows all his creativity and vision. A deep, rich and driving kick and bass added to the fantastic melodic components this is something very special indeed, a sophisticated and cultured piece of trance.

So that is SIT #100. It has been a long and ever interesting journey with many twists and turns but in the end we have put out the tracks we wanted, in the way we wanted. Unique, diverse, bespoke and individual driven by our collective ideals and vision that has and always will be Stories In Trance!

With thanks and gratitude to all that have helped and supported us along the way from all the SIT Team.

One hundred not out, Our story continues...

Stories In Trance offer up SIT 98 by Skywell with the three track single Pressure.

As is customary, we start with the Original. Swedish producer Skywell (Jonas Skyldeberg) made his production debut in the autumn of 2013 and has since gone from strength to strength with several excellent tracks. This time he is back with his fourth original, Pressure. With expert use of the fine lead melody amidst some stunning layering, effects and an all around fantastic feel, it all blends perfectly in this creative and well polished track. There is no doubt that it is a sublime piece of trance and yet another fine example of Skywell's vast talents.

Next we have the first of two remixes, and this one comes from Stories In Trance legend Max Stealthy. Fresh from his sensational remix of Craig London’s Falling Down (SIT #90) Max once again delivers the goods. Taking the track down a more uplifting and energetic route, he uses all the melodic components against a punchy kick and driving mids to awesome effect. This is a really top class production from one of our very favourite artists; an absolute must have for any and all trance enthusiasts.

The second remix comes from Thunderwolf and his friend and production newcomer Rox Lai. Thunderwolf made his debut with us in the Summer of 2013 and since then has offered up several tracks and remixes, the most recent being his immense track Fly Away (SIT #86). This time he is back on remix duties and the end result is something really special indeed. 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.

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.

The original mixes of Falling Down (SIT #90) were released earlier this year and after the huge success that it has had we offer up two more superb remixes to complete the package of this truly significant release.

The first of two remixes comes from Stories In Trance legend Derrick Meyer who brings his unique style to create this superb version. Being one of the USA's best uplifting trance producers, Derrick's back catalogue with us is vast and equally great with his last outing - his remix of Fly Away (SIT #86) - being a perfect illustration of his exceptional talent. Once again he delivers the goods with his usual production excellence - his unmistakable melodic dynamics and expertly polished use of the vocals all amount to a brilliant retake on the original. Derrick always manages to surprise and delight with his inventiveness and supremely well composed productions, a true master of his craft.

Completing this potent two-part reprise we have the Ico remix. Ico (John Erikkson) has made three fantastic appearances so far on SIT, most recently his great version of Thunderwolf’s This Is Our Life (SIT #75) and he is once again on top form with this sensational remix. Ico delivers an energetic, uplifting and emotional trancer with which he sublimely weaves the beautiful vocals and warm progressive melody and mids into an all round powerhouse of a track. This has to be one of the best uplifting vocal tracks in some time and certainly an early contender for one of the best tracks of 2014 - an absolute must have for all trance enthusiasts and DJ's around the globe.

Stories In Trance present to you SIT 90 by Craig London Featuring Lokka with the four track single Falling Down.

Firstly we have the original mix. Craig's career to date has seen him make several impressive appearances with us with some fine remixes and originals, most recently with his track Drop Zone (SIT #87). Once again Craig is on top form showcasing his vast talents, and this time he gives us a more delicate and subtle track using the vocals from Lokka to beautiful effect. Warm and infectious melodies and mids are complimented superbly by the fantastic vocals, which altogether give us a truly fabulous vocal track that stands up there with the very best. Craig 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 in 2014.

The second offering is the Dub mix, all the melodic qualities of the original for those who prefer it without the vocals.

Next we have the first of two remixes, and this one comes from Stories In Trance favourite Max Stealthy. Fresh from his debut album It's A Matter Of Time (SIT #88) Max is back on remix duties and once again delivers the goods. Taking the track down a more uplifting and energetic route, he uses all the melodic and vocal components to awesome effect. This is a real standout production that perfectly captures the effect of great vocal trance.

The second remix and final track on the release comes in the shape of the Skywell remix. Swedish producer Skywell (Jonas Skyldeberg) made his production debut with his seminal track Gothenburg (SIT #84) and then turned his hand to a remix with awesome results: his sublime remix of Jens Jakob’s Grey Cloud (SIT #85). Proving it was no fluke, his follow up original further enhanced his flourishing reputation, the brilliant Awakening (SIT #89), Jonas expertly uses the fine lead melody amidst the sensational vocals, which come together brilliantly in this creative and well polished remix. There is no doubt that it is a superb piece of trance.
