Reviews:
When you open a box with the label Dangerbox you are prepared for big surprises and as it seems the brand new release on Dangerbox will hit the right spot from the very beginning for any quality trance lover with feel good melodic travelling and summery progressive trance original and an awesome package of really varied and stand out remixes. Nando provides a nice smooth progressive trance version with lighlighted little piano twingle melodies that adds to the track a fairy tale like atmosphere. Eleven.Five continues to unleash superb and very well produced remixes with another epic prog trance release with an ambient chilly break down that prepare us right and exact for the full on main part that the artist does his tricks and impress us once again. Finally the uplifting trance lovers can trust Avion for a big room banging version that recalls great classics from the history of that genre that we love so much and support. Uplifting to the core its pure magic to recreate it in a such energetic way. Andrenaline charger for the moody autumn nights.

The melody reminds me of Mike Shiver — I am fascinated by how heavy handed the bass is in the original mix, and how driving it becomes! Two feelings evoked: melancholy for sure + an urge to take positive action. Clean and wonderful, and the best mix. Nando’s remix does a fantastic job of teasing and building that melody, maybe fitting for a dance scene. The breakdown reminds me of Christian Rusch and evokes it well. Oh the angry bass, Avion, you’re after my heart. Great take on the progression and melody…I’m surprised again and again along the way – well done! Eleven.Five!! I’m 150% certain that this will captivate a dance floor — the subdued atmosphere seems to borrow from the mood of lounge music, stilling the mind to bring feelings of content and peace…and sweat in the dance too! 9/10 for this multi-faceted, rich release.
