Tuesday Trance Report – 109

109

Trance family around the world, welcome to the ninth edition of our beloved TTR. This week we kick off with ‘Aldo’, a beautiful original mix from Huntington Beach natives, Norin & Rad, on Above & Beyond’s ever so respected Anjunabeats record label. Next we have the extremely uplifting club mix to Dankann and Antillas’ ‘When You Love Someone’, which features the euphoric vocals of singer, Laurell. Up next we have some great synth play in Ronski Speed and Dennis Sheperd’s new original, ‘Karoshi’, as well as some great progression in Protoculture’s ‘Laguna’. Last but not least, we have ‘Sky High’, a great uplifting track from Vintage & Morelli.

Following our favorite releases of the week, we’ve included each set from A State of Trance 600 in Beirut, Lebanon which took place just a few days ago on March 9. However, one performance stood out to us, the rest of the world, and Armin van Buuren himself as he referred to it as simply “underestimated”. Marlo Hoogstraten, better known as MarLo, took the bull by the horns this past Saturday and delivered an unbelievable, high energy set. MarLo, who flew all the way from Australia, is recently buzzing off his recent hit ‘Boom’ on the A State of Trance 2013 compilation album, which many have dubbed the unofficial anthem to ASOT 600. For those of you unfamiliar with MarLo, we have featured him in the background image above. That said, enjoy the tunes below, and tweet us @Techibeats with your favorites of this week. Until next time, party safe.

Tuesday Trance Report – 105

Well, it looks like we’re going out tonight, for it’d be sin to not cue these amazing new tunes to play. That being said, welcome to this week’s Tuesday Trance Report, and as always we’ve provided the utmost of quality tunes for all of your continued enjoyment. Hitting leadoff is Ashley Wallbridge and Fynn Farrell with their brand new, uplifting original mix, ‘Chase The Night’, which just released to Beatport on Armada sublabel, AVA Recordings. Following the euphoria of Wallbridge & Farrell comes Nitrous Oxide (N20)’s ‘K.O.’, which adds to the Anjunabeats collection of grinding basslines and heavily dark progression. Next we have Huntington Beach natives Norin & Rad, with a free download they’ve titled, ‘Snap!’. Concluding our tracks is Store N Forward’s beautiful synth play in their brand new hit, ‘Bananas’, on the ever eccentric label, Afterglow.

Following our favorite tracks of the week, we’ve provided a handful of previews and mixes as well. Kicking it off are UK legends Above & Beyond and the confirmed preview to their future chart topping masterpiece, ‘Walter White’, which is of course dedicated to Bryan Cranston’s lead role in the hit television series, Breaking Bad. For those of you unfamiliar with the series, we’ve featured an image of Mr. White in the background of the image above. After Above & Beyond, we’re given two more previews by the number one DJ in the world, Armin van Buuren. The first, a collaboration with rising stars, W&W, is interestingly titled ‘D# Fat’. ‘D# Fat’ features a very eccentric melody that builds into an incredible drop easily interpreted as a big room trance banger. The track highly differs from ‘Nehalennia’, Armin’s next collaboration with Anjunabeats star child, Arty. As for mixes, we’re always thankful for Above & Beyond’s Group Therapy Radio (013), and this week’s guest mixer, Andre Sobota. Last but not least we have the preview to the today’s release of 02, the brand new Super8 & Tab album on the ever respected Anjunabeats. Until next time friends, take it easy.

AVICII – Levels Podcast 009 [Free Download]

Here we

have the most recent installment of Avicii’s new podcast. The best part about tuning into these is the new music; the artists all have it, and we all want it. The set starts with Syn Cole’s remix of “We Are The Lucky Ones” and continues into a new vocal mix of Avicii and Nicky Romero’s “Nicktim.” My personal favorite is Darwin and Backwall’s remix of “Space 1010,” which adds perfect extra grunge to the set. Avicii also uses the podcast as a time to do a quick update of what he’s up to, which sounds like a lot of studio time. So look forward to a new year of tunes Avicii lovers and grab a free download below!

Above & Beyond Announce Launch Of New Weekly Radio Show – Group Therapy Radio

Last week Above & Beyond dealt a crushing blow to their fans with the news that their legendary radio show Trance Around The World is coming to and end. It seemed that their upcoming TATW 450 from Bangalore, India would be the last show and an end to an amazing era of 9 years of TATW, leaving their fans with many questions and concerns. However, today the trio gave us some fantastic news that although Trance Around The World is no more, they will be ushering in a new weekly radio show fittingly titled Group Therapy Radio. The start of Group Therapy Radio will be triggered when Above & Beyond take the stage on November 10th in Bangalore, India. Just like TATW, ABGT will present a 90 minute mix featuring the best new music with a 30 minute guest mix every Friday. Here is what the group had to say about the new show:

Group Therapy captures the relationship between us, our music and you, our audience, and the magic that happens when those three things interact. It’s something you’ve all taken into your hearts and it lies at the centre of everything that we do – the community, the connection, the interaction. Our radio show is our weekly Group Therapy with all of you.

Here at Techibeats we couldn’t be more relieved to hear this news and can’t wait to follow this new show which is sure to be just as amazing as its predecessor.
