Australia’s Marlo Hoogstraten, better known as MaRLo, has been quite a fast riser on the Trance scene with hits like ‘Megalodon‘ and ‘Jaguar’ and Armin’s favourite Boom. Now he’s out with a new immaculate production featuring the velvety vocals of French songstress Sarah Swagger.

Always Be Around is MaRLo’s latest contribution to dance music. Always known for experimenting with styles ranging from tech trance, to progressive, to hard style, the Original Mix incorporates quite a tech-ish beat to a beautiful piano break down, with Sarah Swagger’s powerful voice giving this emotional production a ton of depth.

MaRLo’s surprised most fans with this power packed edit. He’s kicked the bpm up a few notches, all the way to 135. The breakdown is classic MaRLo, with a simple, yet heartfelt melody over a basic minor key. He takes some risks and incorporates a Dubstep-esque feel underneath the melody and the vocals, creating a nice contrast compared to the beginning. But what defines this track is the drop. It’s got hard trance beats, whilst adding a very strong electro bass line. Here’s the ASOT 608 Rip:
