Trance Vinyl New Releases - News

...

We are proud to present the second cooperation between Armada Music and Music On Vinyl. The 2-LP release of the critically acclaimed third album of Armin Van Buuren, Imagine, including the fan favourite single “In And Out Of Love”, featuring Sharon den Adel of Within Temptation. This song has been viewed over 230 million times on YouTube alone. Imagine contains some of his most famous songs, like “Going Wrong” (with DJ Shah and Chris Jones) and “Unforgivable” (featuring Jaren). More musically adventurous than its predecessor Shivers, the Dutch club hero continues to push the boundaries of trance to its limits. The fourth times voted number 1 DJ in the world (DJ Mag Top 100) was awarded tons of times for his influence in the trance music scene, and this album proves exactly why.

Pick your copy of this wonderful title before they’re gone, cause this release is limited to 2500 individually numbered copies on blue marbled vinyl.

Bonzai Classics is proud to present one of Belgium’s finest Trance projects, Carat Trax by Zolex and the massive The Message. Back in the mid-nineties, Frank Struyf and Carat Trax were churning out top club hits on Dance Opera, Circus, Frank’s own Zolex Records and our very own XTC imprint. Frank has such a long history you could easily write a complete book on his career. In the early nineties he became resident of Belgian mythical underground club Globe. At that time, he did about five gigs a week, being one of the most popular DJ's around the Benelux. After the closing of the Globe, Frank became resident of another mythical club Carat, a meeting point of Belgian, Dutch, French and German party people, where he played 12-hour sets, and made the club as we know it today. Despite his busy DJ schedule Frank still found the time to produce his own sounds. In 1993 he created Time modulator, a timeless classic, copies of which were sold all over the world. Together with R. Reynders, M. Engelen and M. van der Heyden, he released several tracks on the Antler Subway label Dance Opera. Many years of producing quality records followed and he is still twiddling the knobs and spinning sets to this day. For this special release, we’re digging out two remixes of The Message from Veroniq-Mas and Insider aka Kris Vanderheyden.

The Veroniq-Mas Mix was a huge hit in the clubs all over the world, but especially in Europe, where it fed into the very essence of the culture. The track opens with classic chords before that instantly recognisable vocal from Blind Truth comes through along with striking synth plucks and a tight, punchy, rhythmic drum arrangement. The track breaks, leaving that synth pluck in place as delicate bells fade in to the backdrop of some Bolland style drums. The short interlude soon erupts into full-on mode once again, sending the crowd into a frenzy, keeping the sweat glands open, ready for the night ahead.

In 2001, The Message got a makeover by Belgian technoist Insider aka Kris Vanderheyden. Kris was a name synonymous with powerful, pumping Techno and Trance, forming part of legendary groups such as Tyrome, Jones-Sider and Quick Reverse among others, as well as dishing out top tracks for Bonzai as The Assistant and Insider. His Insider Sharp As A Knife Mix gained traction at the turn of the millennium, thanks to its driving groove that shook the bass bins in any venue it was played. Huge, thumping kicks and a rolling bassline led the groove while the original plucky synths were joined by a hypnotic synth line that dug deep into your brain. The classic vocal is used sparingly but to great effect, fading in and climaxing just at the right moments. A stomper of a track that will stand up on its own today.

Various - Bonzai Power Vinyl 1 (Bonzai Classics) (BLACK 2 x 7 Inch)

We have another tantalising treat for you for Record Store Day 2020. We’ve dug into the archive and decided to bring you Bonzai Power Vinyl 1 on 2 x 7” records containing four classic cuts that put the hardcore rave sound on the map. DJ Bountyhunter’s Demilitarized Zone first appeared on Power Vinyl and was an exclusive at the time. Featuring thumping beats and sweeping hoover sounds, the main melody and the vocals were inspired by the popular TV show, The Twilight Zone. Up next we will have the superb Reality from Phrenetic System aka Peter Schiettekatte and Frederico Santini. Hailed as one of the very best in our back catalogue, Reality hit hard and true, sending clubbers into a frenzy. A gentle melodic note opens the track before a robotic voice comes through. Powerful beats take over as gritty synths and basses rock the speakers. Karim Boux and Roel Reynders’ project, Belgica Wave, gave us The Wave which caused quite a stir upon release. The track opens with a Gregorian style vox with a crowd ready for action. After a short prayer, the hoovers start and the track lifts off, catapulting us into the stratosphere. Peter and Frederico’s Final Analyzis - El Punto Final (Petrofinal Mix) rounds up this fantastic four track EP. With a soft melodic opening sequence, the track soon brings forth the hardcore vibe as scathing, erratic rave synths weave intricate patterns to the backdrop of that now famous vocal. These four tracks are the epitome of the sound of the time and now you can savour the moments on fresh new vinyl.

Griffé is a new label curated by Chat Noir that focuses on dark and powerfull sounds. Between Electro, Rave, Techno and Acid, this release is a blend of very effective dancefloor weapons.

Paris based, Corsican producer Charlou takes control of the A-side with Mercenary and the complicity of Steve Marie on the track X-Station. The OPAQ Records co-founders deliver two tracks that brings immediatly the heat & madness of a rave anywhere it’s played !
The B-Side welcome Botwin, a very talented new comer based in Lyon for his first vinyl release.

... Through 3 tracks he showcases his production skills with a powerfull vibe and infectious grooves that can remind the golden « rave era » of the 90’s.

old school renewing the energy ! Like a psykospore... wanna talk ?

Superb Acid & mental tunes... Complew structures falling naturally... A deep mental EP !

Marlon Hoffstadt follows up his debut Album with new four track EP 'Hands In The Air Eurodance'.
The Berlin native is back with a dancefloor ready good vibes EP, describing it as "Tongue in cheek dance music, for hands in the air moments, on the dancefloor, your living room or under the shower.
The EP is an ode to all the hands in the air dancefloor moments that we are going to miss this summer, due to the Corona Virus."

Active since the early 1990s, the Master of Rave Ceremonies Olivier Abbeloos of T99, lands on Pls.UK with a rave oriented 4-track EP.

The man behind the timeless tune "Anasthasia'" comes back! First in the ceremony, "Deliver" fuses rich synths and melancholic pads with the producers' signature fast paced drums, leaving no rest for the wicked. The darker tone of the second track "Twisted Driver" sets the tone into full energy.

Next up, "Torture" combines a heavy-hitting rhythm with an ever-escalating bassline that peaks into an acid mood. Perfect tune to end a set "The Sleeper Must Awake" brings the vibe directly to the 90s era and closes the EP with high energy and nostalgia.

Celebrated record label and events brand Renaissance announce the next release in their acclaimed The ReMix Collection series – a stunning reworking of Pete Lazonby’s 1994 classic ‘Sacred Cycles’ from one of the biggest names in techno - Drumcode boss Adam Beyer, who teams up with fellow Drumcode alumnae, Bart Skils and Layton Giordani.

The spectacular and atmospheric remix is set to be a huge track this summer. The three Drumcode titans give Pete Lazonby’s sumptuous trance and progressive house classic ‘Sacred Cycles’ a tougher, harder edge that is perfect for peak-time dance-floors. The trio cleverly intertwine the swooping synths and spoken word sample from Genesis’ ‘The Fountain Of Salmacis’ in Pete Lazonby’s original ‘Sacred Cycles’ and inject a heart-pumping bassline and bring in a powerful drop to give it the signature Drumcode sound.

On the remix, Adam Beyer, Bart Skils and Layton Giordani said: “Our main goal was to keep the rolling, hypnotising flow of the track and transform it into a contemporary piece of music that remains timeless like the original. The end result is a strong piece of melodic music that leans on the
progressive ‘90s tip, without losing the power to move the dancefloor. Renaissance boss Geoff Oakes said: “The ReMix Collection has been a real labour of love. Selecting the right track and the right remixer is the biggest part of the challenge and as with the previous releases in the series we landed the perfect combination. It’s always difficult to remix such an iconic classic but the guys have really delivered. Amazing update on a track that’s very close to my heart!"

The ReMix Collection celebrates Renaissance’s proud heritage which has seen the brand at the forefront of electronic music since its inception in 1992. The concept behind the collection is to put a fresh and exciting take on seminal tracks that are closely connected with Renaissance’s heritage.
Previous releases in The ReMix Collection saw Solomun remix ‘The Age of Love’ (2017), Tale of Us remix Energy 52’s ‘Café Del Mar’ (2018), and Maceo Plex remix Remake’s ‘Blade Runner’ (2018).

Starting 2020 on a high note, and following a surprise charity EP along with a collaborative EP with Turnstile, Jordon Alexander returns as Mall Grab for the “Sunflower” EP.

Sunflower serves as a representation of what’s to come for 2020, and how 2019 and every aspect of it influenced my world and the world around me. Recorded in Tokyo and New York, two of my favourite and most inspirational places (to me), Sunflower comprises 4 tracks which are a stand alone project, but an introduction to the debut Mall Grab album slated for a late 2020 release.

The title track, Sunflower, was composed in New York, looking out at the skyline on an incredibly sunny day and feeling a sense of positivity and energy wash over me. Daydreams of love, fun, ecstasy, love and the people who are special to you. Above all, the desire to share how I felt and feel coming into 2020. Something undefinable - I hope Sunflower can share that with you.

The second track, Hidden Worlds, is an amalgamation for a euphoric dark room - sweaty, throbbing and uncompromising. Recorded in New York several hours before a show at Knockdown Center as a draft, and finished in London a week or so later.

Switchblade is a return to the spoken word layering of early MG tunes, set to an electro-esque, broken beat club beat. High energy, not to be taken too seriously, but locked and loaded.

Leaving Tokyo, the closing track was recorded the day before leaving japan, late 2018.
It, for me, represents the melancholy of leaving somewhere special, full of fantastic memories and people but optimism for the next stop and next adventure.

In a world where everything seems a bit chaotic and bleak, I hope I can share the love a little with you... Positive energy forever.

London-based, Belfast raised talent Swoose lands on Lost Palms dishing up four slices of transcendental music to get lost in. ‘Introspective’ EP traverses sundowners, sunrises and the hours in between. Swoose injects a fresh burst of life to timeless sounds with this lush EP.

Opener ‘Introspective’ is bright, machine music; dreamy shimmers propelled by feel-good four to the floor kicks and spacey synths. Next up, mystical trance cut ‘Musa’ points towards Swoose’s influences. Hedonistic loops, euphoric vocals sit over driving, club-ready wiggler, a clear nod to a sound synonymous with Belfast. On the flip, stripped back ‘Smile’ is blissed out house to transport you to warmer climes. Rounding out the EP, hands in the air come courtesy of emotional ‘Lotus’. Ethereal vocals sit upon kickin’ broken beats, on this enigmatic, moodier cut.

Marlon Hoffstadt debuts his first album on his own Midnight Themes imprint.
Set for release on March 13th 2020, Marlon Hoffstadt’s debut album ‘Planet Love’ marks the ninth release on his label, since its launch in 2017.

Having established his very own signature sound over the years, navigating through feelings from house, disco, trance and eurodance, Planet Love showcases these sensibilities in a long listening format.

While he seemed to not take himself too seriously throughout his past releases, naming records “Ready For Take Hoff” and “Der Hoffmaster”, Marlon now touches a topic which, over time got more and more serious and important to him. Having dealt with anxiety and panic attacks in the past he developed his very own mantra, which one could already recover in projects such as his phone free "Savour The Moment" events at Berlin's Renate.

“Be kind. Be humble. Take Care. Give Love. Because only love will set you free”.

This simple but powerful mantra, that he kicks his album off with, is not only his very own guide through insecurity and fears that he faces in his life as a musician, father, student and promoter. Much more it is a reminder that true success is not defined by heavy touring, big money and fame. Instead being successful means to be kind and caring towards yourself, your fellow humans and the environment and that most importantly love is stronger than anything else.

The full album is out March 13th, 2020 and is available digitally as well as on a 2x 12” double LP. It comes along with a full cover artwork from Hermann Reimer, titled “Ewige Gärtner”.

Clearly the real Frankfurt-sound of the time.

Inner atmos and next time – rain into rivers, rivers to rain.

Sequence is subjective, irrelevant – it’s where we stand. Out of order, we dissolve and reform, coming together to come undone. There is no first, no now, no next – just precision points in the wide deep sky.

Another bang, another – it’s the reading which is important. Repeating in parallel, the natural loop is healing; repair, resonance, return. We live in a fragment; soft light and clouds drift like dreams into memory, showing movement in the mirror.

“Here the performer becomes free like the playful clouds high above the world of pain, suffering, happiness, ecstasy, disappointment, greed and ambition of human life”

In this present, we are touched to have unreleased business from Memphis. In unlocking the stoic DAT tapes we open a direct channel from 1993 to this now; three tracks which are meditative, essential rhythm with direct, organic charge. It’s Dream Night Dance Music and Osram 509, with RHK, En-Trance, and Microgravity.

More poetry in remembering our first release was also Memphis. Big complex loops and inner paths. Who’s been here before? All of us, one of us, none of us.

official re-issue / vinyl only

Originally released by Michael Simon & Shahin Moshirian back in 1996 on Master Maximum Trance Traxx, Silverplate is considered one of the best Hard Trance releases of all time, with the vinyl release becoming highly sought after over the years.

Following Michael Simon giving us his permission, this massive Hard Trance Classic is being repressed, 23 years later, in collaboration between Simon Cutmore & Underground Music.

Although the original DATs were no longer available, this has been remastered from uncompressed CD source, and sounds fantastic. The label artwork pays homage to the original sleeve & centre label, and comes in a generic sleeve.

We're extremely proud to repress this masterpiece!

Tribal journey into psychedelics grooves, voodoo incursions and exotic atmospheres.

* Straying away from the standardized charts of dance music, Metalized Man's debut album for newly established label Foul-Up operates in the gap between strictly visually-evocative audio spaces and more abstract realms, trimming its tech-y ambient apparatus right to the bone.

* After two iterations on the Copenhagen-based Infinite Waves, Lasse Bjørck Volkmann delivers a first long-player rich of a spectrum that extends from the murkiest shades to the brightest hues with a zest of trancey tropes, exploring both extremes with a manifest attraction for offhand live dynamics. Whereas it deploys its own sensory experience, 'Losing Your Virginity: Metalized Boy's First Adventures in Manhood' reacts and evolves like a steady biotope submitted to diverse levels of pressure, constantly shifting scales and tempo - from a deep green palette of organic drops and crackles to the sleek vibrancy of multi-faceted synthetic layers - punctured by paranoid ostinatos that ooze nothing but stress and insecurity. As its title suggests it is an initiatory hand-to-hand with the unknown - either a beginning or an ending, but anyhow a fully conscious descent in the most secret nooks of a troubled inner being in search for answers.

* Just like Edward Artemiev's elemental soundtrack to Tarkovsky's masterpiece 'Stalker' played an essential role in enhancing the film's highly empirical experience, or Badalamenti's iconic contribution to David Lynch's utterly hypnotic, trance-inducing body of work, 'Losing Your Virginity...' shines with a similar poise for setting up its own deeply evocative cinematic playgrounds. Images rise to the surface in a deftly-manoeuvered chaos of sound, elusive like sand gliding from one's hand but haunting like a first time. There is frailty and strength, despair and also ecstasy but more importantly, there is a bigger-than- life quality to this fine collection of mazy proto-tech and drone slabs, that seems to not only emulate concepts for what they are but also what they go against. Proposing rather than proclaiming, questioning rather than answering - moving feverishly as we all do, unsure of what tomorrow holds but well avid to disclose its omens.

Ltd. Edition of 500 Copies - PART OF THE ACCESS ALL AREAS SERIES.

Repress

Part homage, part prophecy: ‘Fire in the Jungle’ is the 8th studio album from Berlin-based DJ, producer and label owner Oliver Koletzki, released on 15 November 2019 by Stil vor Talent.

With sounds as diverse as the stamps collected in Koletzki’s passport over the past 18 months, ‘Fire in the Jungle’ is a statement in itself: complex, verdant, the product of years of growth.

From the arid desert tundra of Australia, to the lush turquoise beaches and sacred sites of Mexico, to the dusty Playa of Burning Man: these rich and varied landscapes, people, experiences have strongly influenced Koletzki in the production of this multifaceted masterpiece.

Musical maestro and storyteller Koletzki expertly weaves live instruments with a range of electronic music production techniques, with producers Sam Shure, Township Rebellion, Hidden Empire, Niko Schwind and Cioz taking listeners on an extraordinary aural peregrination of genres and styles.

Lyrical and vocal collaborations with Monolink, Aparde, Temple Haze and Lisa Who are layered with Koletzki’s signature sound, adding their unique influence to this distinctive 16-track album.

Running the gamut from full-power, bass-heavy dance floor anthems to slower, more sultry tracks, the dramaturgy of this album is matched only by the eclectic exotica and psychedelia of the jungle.

As the Amazonian jungle burns, this versatile and thought-provoking album raises important questions about what sustains us and asks us to reconsider the egoism and laziness of the human species.
