Armada Music brings yet another trance compilation: Armada Trance Essentials 2014, VOL. 1

When they said “Trance is dead”, we had our legendary trance flag bearers to prove that it was wrong. It’s a known fact that not only other electronic genres have evolved in their style, but trance music as well. With inspirations from hip hop, electro pop, ambient and many other endless styles, trance artists still flirt with new patterns every day, to bring us the best and the freshest sounds.

Consequently staying updated with the best of past few months is challenging and to beat this challenge, Armada Music makes the perfect essential compilation of ‘Trance Essentials’ in a series of volumes every year.

Linking the ground between old and new and bridging the gap between timeless and bleeding edge. This is ‘Trance Essentials 2014‘. A double dose of the absolute must-have tunes of the moment, including reworks of some of the great classics of our time, ‘Trance Essentials Vol. 1’ includes legendary artists that have made their mark on this impressive track list, with the up and rising stars that find themselves well represented.

Right from Paul Oakenfold‘s forthcoming ‘Trance Mission‘ album, the memorable classics ‘Toca Me’ and ‘Café Del Mar‘ have gotten a key face lift and will turn heads everywhere they’re played. The future of trance music and the global kingpin Andrew Rayel has not only one but two tracks on the compilation, including the massive collaboration ‘EIFORIYA‘ with trance legend Armin van Buuren. The two throwback track instances ‘Must Be the Love‘ from Arty and BT featuring the sparkling Nadia Ali and Jurgen Vries‘ ‘The Theme‘ set the level of quality to measure the rest of this compilation. These are the most effective, sought after tunes of the moment.

The fresh club stormers from Dash Berlin & Rigby, Gaia, and a Johan Malmgren remix of Aruna‘s ‘Start a Fire‘ with others retain the future of trance music burning brightly throughout the compilation. An all-embracing pool of renewed remixes for instance the hypnotic remix of Paul van Dyk‘s ‘Crush‘ from Las Salinas, ‘Trance Essentials 2014′ will remain a matchless part of your trance collection.
