PULSAR035: Dominik von Francois - Romance Today

'Romance Today' is the debut release of the Namibian-German producer, Dominik von Francois. A progressive melodic tune, it's characterized by banging synth stabs that rise from under the kick drum and take over your senses.

The breakdown in this single is a ringing, metallic melody accompanied by a choir of echoes. Beautifully simple, it's a demonstration in the art of saying so much using a few simple notes played with intense emotions.

Dominik von Francois - Romance Today ***Promo Edit by PulsarRecordings

In response, the stabs come rushing back in, relieving the tension built in the melody and bringing everything to an uplift that leads to a perfectly timed drop.

This track is a musical love affair between the different sounds that will get you to unconsciously jump off your feet and dance to the rhythm of the beat.

Release Date: May 16, 2012

Record label: Silent Shore
Format: WAV/MP3

DJ/Radio Support: Aly and Fila (Future Sound Of Egypt 233), Bobina (Russia Goes Clubbing 189), Veselin Tasev (Digital Trance World 222), ReOrder (In Trance I Believe 126), Simon Bostock, Manuel Le Saux, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Six Senses, RAM, Dave Deen, Ex-Driver, Odonbat, Suzy Solar, Manuel Rocca and more...

Free Gate knows how to pick up a vibe when he stumbles on one. Proggy delighted remix with a blend of trancy flavours in the main melody and a really extraordinary breakdown, which also comes in Dub version - a win combination for any mood or any place.

Chasing Dreams made an absolute floor killer, a really promising remix, housy orientated, but still holds that passion and feelings although he put Claire's vocals just in the breakdown, but enough to feel a tingling sensation on your skin and the ultimate seduction on the dance floor.

SSR105: Martin Libsen - Galactic Rush / Deneb

Martin Libsen is a guy who knows how to rise people to a higher level. Every of his production speaks a story for itself. His newest EP "Galactic Rush/Deneb" will destroy every dance floor on which people will throw out their energy. Being a perfectionist as he is, exploring the boundaries of trance, Martin will open every heart like a shell.

"Galactic Rush" is an absolute destroyer from the very beginning. Building it up with a solid pair of bass and kicks, with a touching break and warm strings in the emotional breakdown, this tune grows in a real energy and a floor hitting monster.

Another side of this EP is "Deneb", a tune that can certainly compete with the previous. Full of acids, cheeky tech-trancer will make your ears bleed and make you leave all your energy cells on the dance floor.

For the possible consequences we will not feel responsible!

We believe you will enjoy this release.

PR062: Akira Kayosa & Hugh Tolland - Disconnected

Akira Kayosa and Hugh Tolland are no strangers to Perceptive, this being their 3rd outing in the past 12 months. It's fair to say we're firm believers in what they do, continuing to push their favourable trance sound to its full potential!

Disconnected is a perfect example of this, a peak-time uplifter with a spellbinding riff, primed to create a raptourous response, as demonstrated by Aly & Fila at ASOT 550!

The original speaks for itself, where as the classic version utilises more traditional influences, taking you on a nostalgic trip down memory lane. Nevertheless both mixes are right on the money, delivering 100%!

News Just Added @ Crystal Clouds:

Majefa Summer Trance Special [04-Aug-12]

Majefa returns for another installment of the eagerly anticipated Summer Trance Special. Now in it's 5th year, Majefa is renowned for bringing you some of the world's biggest international Trance acts and this year is no different!

Headlining the event, ranking 22 in the DJ Mag Top 100 and flying in from Egypt is one of the scenes most exciting Trance acts right now. Playing every major event across the world from ASOT 550 in Miami to Global Gathering in the UK, Majefa is very pleased to announce that Aly & Fila will be gracing the decks in Sound Control on Saturday 4th August.

Having set up their own hugely successful record label Future Sound Of Egypt, which is supported by Armin Van Buuren's Armada label Aly & Fila have been responsible for some of the biggest tunes of the last few years, such as the massive, 'Breath of Life', 'Eye Of Horus', 'Lost Language' and the more recent 'We Control The Sunlight', which was voted the biggest track of the year by Armin Van Buuren in 2011, this Egyptian export will be the perfect peak time fodder for the hallowed Majefa dancefloor.

Supporting Aly & Fila is another act from the FSOE stable, flying in from Poland is one of the most exciting acts to have burst onto the scene in recent years, making his North West debut, it's Arctic Moon! With dancefloor destroyers such as the brilliant 'Adelaide' and 'True Romance' under his production belt, gigs spanning all over the world and been given the remix duties from the likes of Armin, Dash Berlin, Paul Oakenfold and Bryan Kearney, Arctic Moon is poised to be one of the next biggest names in trance!

Our next act needs little introduction. Having topped the poll of acts people wanted to see play at Majefa again, it is with great pleasure that we once again welcome back one of our favourite DJ's, the legendary Akira Kayosa! Since we last caught up with Akira, he has had releases out on the massive Black Hole, Alter Ego & In Trance We Trust labels. His huge track 'Disconnected' also featured on the FSOE 2 compilation and his radio show Synthetica is still one of the most listened to radio shows on Afterhours.fm.

The final headline act is another name that saw rise to fame under the guidance of the Future Sound Of Egypt label, UK based Neptune Project! Having burst onto the scene in 2009 when Armin Van Buuren announced that 'Aztec' was the tune of the summer, coupled with the release of 'Atlantis' and the remix of Mike Koglins 'The Silence',Neptune Project began to cement themselves as one of the UK's finest production duo's. Selected for this line up for their renowned energetic style, this Majefa will be one of the most uplifting Trance events we have ever done!

Warming up proceedings see's the welcome return of Majefa resident Tom Rains. Having been with Majefa since the start Tom is fully educated on what the Majefa regulars love to hear. So this year he is delving into the archives to put together some of the biggest underground modern trance classics of the last 10 years!

Be prepared for another night of full on energetic, uplifting, bangin' Trance......... Majefa is back!
