This weekend, 20th & 21st March 2021, on Happy Hour> RDJ1(ONEly trance :d-_-b:) https://bit.ly/radiodj1> from 10:00EET (09:00CET) & 22:00EET (21:00CET), you can listen the album "Trance Wax" by Trance Wax, album released on November 6th, 2020.
Five or so years ago, a series of edits and mixes surfaced that really caught the imagination of the dance music community.Combining trance nostalgia with contemporary techno credibility, Trance Wax tapped into a previously unmapped vessel. This hybrid appealed most to the generation of clubbers that fell between two eras.A limited edition run of vinyl bootlegs traded hands on Discogs for exorbitant prices. A cult following was growing.For starters, it's worth emphasising that there really are a lot of ideas weaved through the 14 tracks.Opener Buel Un Latha, Beachbreak and the breaksy Lifeline are in the mould of Chicane and Jakatta, pointing to appreciation at slower paced settings. At a time when we are still feeling the loss of chill out pioneer José Padilla, these tender moments are a welcome tonic.Trance die-hards will be thrilled to learn of guest appearances from both Jan Johnston and Moya Brennan, whose vocals graced early hits of the genre. Their inclusion is a nice nod from the man behind the wheel.For the speed freaks, the tracks Malu, Rivers and Throne push the tempo onto the holy 140bpm marker. These moments are reserved for the final third - a climax of high intensity.The fact that McCartney never drifts into cheesy territory is applause worthy. We cannot recall the last trance record marketed as such, that made such an uplifting impression.
