SSR091: Kaimo Kerge - For What It's Worth

Release date: 2012-02-20
Record label: Silent Shore
Format: WAV/MP3

A proud member of our Silent Shore family, Kaimo Kerge, known for his outstanding, dreamy and uplifting touch on every of his productions is ready to blow your mind once again. He smashed in with his new single and your mission is to discover 'FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH' to keep the uplifting trance spirit alive by passing through this emotional experience he brought to us.

'FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH' is one beautifully written love story filled with emotions which are impossible to describe with words. Catchy and deep from the very beginning, 'FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH' translates into the breathless piece of magic in the lovely breakdown. Massive build up translates the main melody into the bursting explosion which will hit your heart immediately.

Airway 7 vs. Alter Future Remix turns the track on it's head with faster BPM dose in it, while Chasing Dreams made a progressive translation by adding a great balance of choppy basslines and mesmerizing melodic breakdown, with the same dose of emotions and energy, just like the Original.

We believe you will enjoy this release.

Over 25 Acts featuring 3 Debut Exclusive Sets, Special FX, Laser Show,
Big Outdoor Chill Out Area and 1 Unforgettable Experience!

Goodgreef will come screaming into 2012 on 4th February with its return to Tall Trees for one of the most exciting, jaw-dropping, trance packed, hard dance rammed, house jammed, star-studded dates in the North East's history! This has been an event that's been brewing for years and finally Goodgreef brings you one of the founding fathers, original innovators, big room controllers, the one and only PAUL OAKENFOLD.

An absolute legend of epic proportions, the man behind the iconic Perfecto label, the Trance Godfather that brought you "Bullet In The Gun", Grammy Nominated and celebrated master of the trance-tastic fold. Paul Oakenfold has been one of the most prolific producers, DJs and scene leaders for well over three decades. There is no denying how successful this man is and we welcome him to make his GOODGREEF DEBUT.

Having carved his way through the first dance genre to ever spawn Mega Stars and modeling a sound that has become one of the most powerful and dominant ever produced, Paul Oakenfold will be presenting a very special Past, Present and Future set for his hotly anticipated Goodgreef inauguration. There's very few that are qualified enough to be able to tackle this colossal task and tribute to the God of Trance but Oakie is without doubt one of them, prepare to worship!

The first in the series Paul Oakefold's latest album concept "The Four Seasons" will be released on February 17th, titled the "Winter Edition" and will showcase an 80 minute mix packed full of the hottest tracks from the Perfecto Fluoro roster of producers as well as the biggest records from Paul's Winter Edition Live Shows which you will hear at this event!

We're embracing the Winter White Spectacular theme with uv cannons and special effects so get your whiter than whites out and don your tribute to this theme!

Supporting Oakenfold will be the formidable duo Aly & Fila who were voted in at number 22 in DJ Mag's Top 100 in 2011 propelling them into the heavyweight circle of the TOP 10 trance artists in the world today. Recently featured as the cover mount CD for DJ Magazine, their Future Sound of Egypt label rapidly becoming one of the most popular in recent years and their diary filled with worldwide dates only goes to prove Aly & Fila's stronghold within the scene today!

PULSAR024: Addictive Glance - Leaving Reality EP

The Russians are taking over once again!

Our 3rd release this year gets us going even further in 2012, coming from Addictive Glance who isn't a new comer to the scene, but he is to our label.

Leaving Reality EP continues exactly where our previous release Blade Run has left off...

Addictive Glance - Leaving Reality EP by PulsarRecordings

The deepness and the darkness of the sound is still here, especially in the leading track that "leaves the reality"... Now that reality is no more, we must devote it to someone? The song suggests "nobody" is worth it. Too much thinking and we find ourselves blinded by the "sun rays" with the swirling magic all around... the darkness is no more...

We can finally take our "vacation"...

ABRD038: Gary Afterlife - Waiting for the Sunrise

Release Date: 31 Jan 2012

A catamaran boat coasts toward shore in the early morning as the clouds gradually change color. It is a secluded place in a lonely island bay far away in the tropics. Warm bass and percussion pumps from speakers on the deck as melodies dance off the ocean waves. Mind and body are enraptured by the state of tranquility and peace of the scenery. This is the world of Gary Afterlife. Listen and you might see it too.

Mike Foyle captures the pure essence of the original vibe turns it into a floating smooth rework with a wistful twist. Fresh off his success with "Shades of Red / Shades of Blue" (Coldharbour) and "Universal Language" (Soundpiercing / Armada), he keeps his trademark style going with this beautiful remix!

Pizz@dox tries something original with an uplifting trance interpretation that really raises the energy. Uniquely talented, his very first release was on the legendary Future Sound of Egypt label. We expect big things from him, with an upcoming EP release on Abora Recordings and several new remixes on the way also.

For a taste of uplifting trance combined with guitar, be sure to check out the Reconceal remix. Known for his collaborations with Andy Blueman on Perceptive and Recon6 on "In Trance We Trust", he brings some interesting new flavors to Abora Recordings!

Crystal Clouds would like to take this opportunity to welcome both Ahmed Romel and Joe Shadows to the team.

Over the coming weeks Crystal Clouds will formally introduce both Ahmed and Joe to the DJ Team in a series of news articles featuring Biography, Discography and Radioshow information.

Please visit their respective forums and wish them a warm welcome to Crystal Clouds - the home of trance & progressive.

Ahmed Romel

Ahmed Romel - 20 Years Old.

Ahmed started his passion for dance music when he was a small kid. He always loved the beat of dance and house music, which quickly turned into an addiction.

After 2 or 3 years, he started having the passion to mix tracks with each other. He got some applications such as "Atomix DJ" and started mixing. Every day the love of mixing music increased for Ahmed and he started looking for better ways of doing it.

As he came across trance music with all it's sub-genres , it completely changed his life. He had always kept looking for melodic dance tracks and this is how he found and became in love with - trance.

In 2008 he started his podcast, which at the begining it was just for fun but then got some support from friends.

In 2009 Ahmed also participated in the annual AH.FM Celebration "End Of The Year Countdown" event where listeners voted him number 1. It was a really incredible feeling for Ahmed to get his set played alongside international DJs.

In 2009 Ahmed started thinking about producing, so he got some equipment and applications and started with some short tracks followed by a full track which got support from DJs such as Aly & Fila.

After this Ahmed started his radioshow "The Ray Of Trance" on www.trance.fm, which is something he had always dreamt of - trying to bring the newest and best uplifting & melodic trance.

Radioshow

Ahmed Romel presents Orchestrance on Trance.FM every 2nd Tuesday of the month at 20:00 GMT.

DMAX035: Jonathan Burhan - Deep Silence

DMAX035: Jonathan Burhan - Deep Silence EP

Jonathan Burhan (Dmitry Radovski), is an experimental Trance Producer, originally from Portsmouth, England. He started off writing his own classical and new age music, transitioned gradually over to electronic dance music and chillout. His music focus since 2009 has been on Trance and chillout. Now he makes his first Impact on our Imprint with a stunning 2 Track EP and nice Remixes!

Dark Rain

Original Mix - right from the Start you'll hear that Jonathan is going his own Way of Producing.He's not a typical uplifting Producer which has nothing to do with his Talent.We think he's very talented just going his own Way of building Tracks like Dark Rain. Going his Way straight through the Break and getting more and more melodic the track got his top inside the Breakdown.

Sebastian Montano pres. Scherzo Remix - he takes the Original into a totally different Direction. Using his Scherzo Alias to set this Remix to a much more deeper sound level. Bangin beats with a driving bassline and small lead sounds and some Kind of Breaks to give you the time to take a Breath until you got punched again.

Evacuation

Original Mix - This Track is built totally different as the other one. You'll hear it straight from the first Sounds of the Track.Building Step by Step but straight to the Point. Inside the Breakdown u got a Warm Welcome from the Deep Pads which fit perfectly in this Passage. On top of this is the nice Melody.

Euphoric Feel Remix - He also got a unique way of producing trancy tracks.His Productions are mostly a Mash Up between different styles of trance but always up for delivering the best possible Sound - like he did on this remix.His remix got his personal Touch but without losing the connection to the Original.

Touchstone Remix - he already made himself a Name in the Scene in the last Weeks and Month so he needs no big introduction.If you know him already you know what you can expect from his Remix.Full Power Trance with bangin Beats and a pumpin baseline surrounded from nice lead sounds. Inside the Breakdown he's going straight his way using so lovely Pads and building the Melody plus this wonderful Piano - Just play and enjoy.

News Just Added @ Crystal Clouds:

Aly & Fila - Live @ The Gallery [27-Jan-12]

Last May saw Paul Oakenfold deliver possibly THE set, of his illustrious Gallery career. Tough, dark trance with psy inferences - reminiscent of his legendary Goa mix. Paul's new Full On Fluoro concept rejuvenates that sound, evolving it for 2012. This is enveloped under The Four Seasons Tour, with Spring, Summer and Autumn to follow. Embracing this debut Winter excursion, cutting edge visuals will transform the Box into a futuristic Winter wonderland.

Expect the latest cool cuts, iced with tech riffs, eccentric bleeps and the blizzard of obligatory anthems. This momentous occasion, is also a launch pad for Paul's Winter Edition mix compilation. Featuring the influential sounds from the Perfecto Fluoro label, as well the underground Full on Fluoro radio show. Forget 'Southern Sun,' we're yearning for some southern snow!

Which leads nicely to Aly & Fila, 'We Control The Sunlight' now the peak time choice of any artist worth their drinks tokens. Brand Future Sound Of Egypt is now fully established, sun soaked trance - delivered through the acclaimed FSOE podcasts and sell-out global events. These magic rays are not just restricted to Aly & Fila productions, check out the emotive remix of Bjorn Akesson's Xantic. Euphoric? No one does it better.

Finally South Africa's No.1 DJ, cherished by The Gallery faithful after Protoculture's October debut. His uncompromising melodic style, has seen a meteoric rise from local parties to global festivals. Some have even made comparisons to the magic of Mandela. We don't know if Nelson likes trance, but definitely in common - the power to spread joy amongst thousands of people!

Lineup

Paul Oakenfold
Aly & Fila
Protoculture
Hayley Parsons
Gavyn Mytchel
Jesse James
