P.H.A.T.T. - “Mass Destruction”

(3 votes, average: 4.67 out of 5)

 Loading ...

The Head Of Nukleuz Trance is back with his own unique style that can be heard in clubs all over the globe. Following up on his recent successes P.H.A.T.T now presents Mass Destruction. A track that completely justifies the attention he’s received from the likes of Paul Van Dyk, Dave 202, Lost Witness and Dave Pearce - as dark, energetic and emotive as ever. `

As is always with P.H.A.T.T’s style, the track subtly builds up to create more and more energy as it unravels, revealing a build up made up of dark, resonating synths and vocal stabs, before finally unleashing its spine tingling riff and phatt basslines to develop the track into the powerful, energetic and downright banging dancefloor destroyer it becomes!

Space Raven (self proclaimed “N#1 French Hardtrance producer”) gets behind the buttons for the remix and presents a tougher, harder and Trancier mix, to create the energetic and emotive style of Dance that P.H.A.T.T and his tracks have become so renowned for.

ANDY BOPH - ‘FLASH’

(2 votes, average: 4.5 out of 5)

 Loading ...

Having already received support from a host of DJs across the board, including the likes of Carl Cox, Paul Van Dyk and Tiesto, Andy BopH is definitely a rising star in the world of Dance music, quickly establishing himself as a top notch producer. He’s already remixed for Mauro Picotto, Mark Mendes and The Young Punx with the list of requests still growing and is surely a name to keep an eye on.

Originally starting off with more of an electro touch, on tracks such as ‘Business Lunch’ & ‘Rat Trap’, Andy’s style has seemingly developed into more spacious, progressive sounds, creating grooving tribally rhythms with ‘A New Day’ & ‘Problems’. This next release, ‘Flash’, continues this trend with Andy keeping to the same style of progressive electro, especially on the flip with Kes Klinton’s stripped down remix. Another great double tracker from Andy BopH!

Pierre Pienaar – ‘Ibiza Sunset’

(2 votes, average: 4 out of 5)

 Loading ...

Nukleuz favourite and head of Nukleuz Green, Pierre Pienaar (aka P.H.A.T.T. / Melodia) presents ‘Ibiza Sunset’. A beautiful bit of Trance that epitomises the sound of Ibiza’s sunset strip. It’s always been Pierre’s ability to create some of the most beautiful, heart strung Trance that’s made him the hugely popular producer he is.

Having gained support from the likes of Paul Van Dyk & Dave Pearce to name two out of a hundred others, Pierre’s latest track is a divine piece of music, filled to the brim with emotion that will most definitely add to the atmosphere of the sunset seen night after night all along the bars that perch over the rocks of San Antonio, facing out to that legendary sunset that is the ‘Ibiza Sunset’.

The original mix from Pierre is a pumping Trance track with a usually big, drawn out Trance build up that brings in the classic long string synths and stabs that gradually develop into this powerful, pounding Trance beat that would suit clubs not only on the White Isle but all the way round the world and back again.

Next up in the package are Steve Allen and Ben Alonzi with their remix Dub. Still built up around the classic Trance structure, Allen and Alonzi stick to the beautiful string synths that slowly build up to drop into another beautifully crafted Trance anthem.

The final remix comes courtesy of Derek The Bandit Vs James Nelson with their Progressive Dub, which slows the whole track down and turns it into a stunning, chilled track, that really would be perfect for a Mambo/Café Del Mar sunset.
