SITS8 The Stories In Trance Collection - Spectra: Part White


SITS8 The Stories In Trance Collection - Spectra: Part White

Released on Friday 24th January 2020.

Stories In Trance gets to the 10 year mark, so in honouring our achievement we continue with our series exhibiting the best of every release from the decade with the eighth volume.

Our belief in the project was clear from day one. We think the strength of the label is in its diversity and over the years have presented work covering a wide range of flavours within the trance genre, and sometimes beyond. We have worked with a global roster of talent, all featuring because of their vision and encouraged to express that within their work with little interference from us. The results have stood the test of time, not only garnering support from some of the scene's biggest names but featuring prominently in sales charts and online plays. So what better way to pay tribute to the uniqueness of our story than to share with you our favourites from every single release on SIT.

This is a little bit of all of it, the whole story. This is Spectra - The Stories In Trance Collection. The best of releases 141 to 160 is presented here in part White.

SIT 171 Triumvirate - Still Glow The Embers (Re-Ignited)


SIT 171 Triumvirate - Still Glow The Embers (Re-Ignited)

Released on Monday 20th January 2020.

Stories In Trance are delighted to offer you SIT 171 by Triumvirate with the two track single Still Glow The Embers (Re-Ignited). Originally released in spring 2015 the track gets a sensational new remix for 2020.

And so, here it is, the Edelways remix. Russian trance star Edelways (Arut Anastasyan) makes his second appearance on SIT following on from his epic remix of Airborne Angel's Star (Relit) (SIT 166). This latest appearance on SIT serves up something truly special indeed with this superb reworking of this modern trance classic. Building from the unique brilliance of the original and blending with his own production finesse, the end result is a real standout track. Beautiful feel, brilliant melodic evolution, fantastic atmosphere, fabulous structure and exceptional reinterpretation of the lead melody all amount to what is surely one of the best tracks of 2020. This is a stormer, absolute trance perfection!

The second part of this double header comes in the shape of the original mix from 2015 for anyone who missed it. This track has a grand feel right from the start, powerful, energetic and emotional, this track has it all. Every single second of this piece of music is vital to the overall dynamic, no time wasted, every moment captivating. Rich, deep low end power provides the underpinnings which are complemented by sweeping saws and arps, a stunning piano layer, and aggressive, ever evolving percussion provides the garnish all beautifully complemented by the emotive vocals. This is for everyone who truly loves all that is great about trance.

Another release that once again shows why Stories In Trance 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 170 London & Niko - Siren


SIT 170 London & Niko - Siren

Released on Monday 13th January 2020.

Ten years of Stories In Trance, and the tale continues with SIT 170 from London & Niko, with the two track single Siren.

Leading off is the original mix, by SIT legend Craig London and this time it's a collaboration under London & Niko. Alex Niko hails from Iran and he and Craig have been making some great tracks together over the last couple of years. Here they follow on from their last appearance on SIT, the superb remix of Danny Legatto's Back To Me (SIT 167), with this excellent original creation. Expertly combining a melodic and energetic feel with perfectly balanced atmospheric layering results in this perfectly defined, superbly uplifting slice of trance. 

On remix duty is another SIT legend, Arthur Valiev, under his familiar and well regarded Vaali alias. Following on from his most recent work, Arthur Valiev's double A-side Obsidian / Quartz (SIT 168), he carries on his top form here with this fantastic production. Much like all Arthur's work this track shows off his immense production technique and wide range of abilities, this time taking the remix down a unique proglifting route. Arthur knows how to create and implement great melodies and here the fabulous lead is backed up expertly by rich atmosphere, beautiful piano layering and effectively complemented all the way through with an ever evolving structure that will have you hooked right from the start.

Another release that once again shows why Stories In Trance 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.
