Renowned International DJ, producer and label manager, Lange, has announced details of his third studio album. After months of debuting hit single after hit single; the 2 disc, 25 track “We Are Lucky People” album will be released on November 18th 2013.
Very rarely does there come a point in time when you get to attend a flurry of events on one ticket where you devour the best of talent in dance music in one whirlwind weekend. It is moments like these which make you understand what dance music really stands for. Such was the feeling we experienced at this very unique concept which was brought forth by leading dance music event organizer Submerge and Global Edge.
Their #AAA concept, or Access All Areas bestowed upon a number of fans a chance to witness some of the biggest names in the industry on one ticket. Not only did that one entry band entitle you to a weekend of madness in one city but it also acted as your ticket to attend your favourite DJ’s gig at an entirely different city. It would surely be safe to say, that this extravagant concept had already blown our minds away much before the event.
Bringing the event to a number of prominent cities across India, Submerge truly delivered more than we could have ever asked for. With a line-up boasting of renowned talents such as Caspa, Aly & Fila, Spektre and GMS along with domestic heavyweights including Pearl, Nawed Khan, Ash Roy, Ankytrixx, Nucleya, Ez Riser, amongst others they made sure that the event would be an unforgettable affair for sometime to come.
Just like fans who would want to experience this fantastic concept in it’s entirety, we chose to review one day in Mumbai which saw Aly & Fila and Nawed Khan bring the house down at Royalty while Caspa & Ez Riser gave us a memorable night packed with pulsating monstrous bass music at Bonobo and the other day at the capital, New Delhi where the haven of music, Blue Frog was treated to Spektre and Ash Roy in the courtyard and GMS along with Pearl and Audiogramme in the main club area.
So without further adieu, hit past the break to read up on our take of the colossal experience that was #AAA!
On his Trance Nation compilation, Lange said: “It’s an honour to have been invited to mix this album. For over a decade the Ministry of Sound Trance Nation series has become legendary, a snapshot of our ever-evolving scene, and I follow in the footsteps of some of it’s most respected artists”.
Recognized as one of the most influential Trance artists of the past decade, Lange has remained at the forefront of the dance scene throughout his career, enjoying an 8 unbroken years as a mainstay of DJ Mag’s influential Top 100 poll in the process.
In summertime-honoured tradition, high-season 2013 sees Dance Heavyweights, Ministry of Sound, welcome scene-wide legend and genre-founding father Lange to the mix of the acclaimed Trance Nation series. Joining its esteemed comp-mixing DJ legion (which to-date has included luminaries such as Above & Beyond, Ferry Corsten and Rank 1, to name a few), Lange’s mixes deliver a new high for Trance Nation. Drawing on more than a decade’s knowledge of ahead-of-the-curve sounds & styles, catalysed by exacting drops and epic lifts, Lange brings his inimitable take on the genre to two sun-summoning Trance Nation mixes. Characterizing the lifeblood of trance in 2013, it sees Lange innately compile and harmonically mix music from across its broad stylistic range. Featuring music from Ferry Corsten, Arty, Cosmic Gate, Andy Moor, Orjan Nilsen, and a host of others, it also includes 5 massive exclusives, hot from the desk of Lange’s own studio and Lange Recordings label.
A new collection cornerstone for any self-respecting trance literati, Ministry of Sound’s Trance Nation Mixed by Lange puts you on summer 2013’s expressway. It’s released July 29th.
Italy has been known the world over for many things. The fine wines, pizza, pasta, Venice, Michelangelo and of course the Corleone family. However, a new breed of change-makers are spearheading a movement nowadays – the ones we call DJ’s. Gianni Romano, Carlo Grieco, and Peppe Folliero are the powerful musical force known as Daddy’s Groove who joined forces in 2006, having already gained great experience from Carlo and Gianni DJing throughout Italy, and are already familiar in the Italian club scene.
What can be anticipated when a hot up-comer and a trance titan are paired with one of the most recognized singers in trance & progressive? The answer is impulsive.
Having co-productions with Armin van Buuren, New York-native Sean Tyas is known as one of the heavy weights within the trance scene. In a very conventional fashion, “Lose My Logic” combines the abilities of Sean Tyas, Noah Neiman, and Fisher into an unparalleled musical expedition.
Newcomer Noah Neiman from Lange Recordings and Enhanced Music has recently turned heads with his electro-trance sound and Beatport Trance Top 10 hits, such as “They Have Laser Eyes” and “Radiofire”. For this audacious collaboration, the forces are joined with singer/songwriter, Fisher who has been a former Interscope Records pop-singer turned trance-vocal goddess.
Together this dynamic trio has skilled this hit single and is destined to dominate the top of the charts. Reminiscent of any other Sean Tyas record, “Lose My Logic” begins with a bang, powerful instant attention to the speaker-killing beats cascading upon the listener’s eardrums. A touch of fury is added when Noah Neiman enters the scene as he incorporates a hard bass line that hits with a modern commanding punch. The production remains thick yet tight throughout, with a signature-Tyas melody that emphasizes Fisher’s well-known vocal delivery. The complexity of carefully placed background vocals ignites a euphoric state of trance, just before the drop erupts and turns you back to the dance floor.
To call this record a “banger” would be typical hype because the proof lies within itself. Check it out below and get it on Beatport.
