Melodic ambience

Its’ that time of the year where I’d like to announce the - in my view of course - best trance tracks of the year. First of all I want to say that especially in most recent times there were a lot of good tracks and after I complained that my favorite label “Anjunabeats” was releasing a lot of mediocre tracks the year before, this time there were a lot of very decent tracks that came out. So, no wonder, that Anjunabeats is represented very well in the list of my favorite tracks.

Basically there were two tracks dominating my personal play list as they are

Maor Levi - Shapes (Oliver Smith Mix)

and

Temple One - Forever Searching (Original Mix)

The remix of Oliver Smith delivered a perfect, euphoric version of a track done by young Israeli Maor Levi. Everything fits, the beat, the scrambled singing as well as the beautiful additional melody kicking in after a while.

British DJ Temple One’s “Forever Searching” lets you float in different spheres. This very romantic trancer is highly addictive.

Besides these tracks I’d like to congratulate Sunny Lax for his remix of Soliquid’s “Music is for rich people” since it comes very close to the legendary “P.U.M.A.”.

Last but not least I want to mention at least some other tracks that were very good. From Scandinavia Finnish Syna “Do you feel” sounded fantastic in the remix of Matti Kotala and Danish DJ Daniel Kandi’s original Mix of “Child” needs to be mentioned too.

It seems that every artist who wanted to release her/his track this year did so meanwhile. So, here are my favorite tracks of the year:

1. Arksun - Arisen (Original Mix)

2. Sunny Lax - Puma (Original Mix)

3. DJ Fire - The closest thing to heaven (Trance Mix)

4. Freek Geuze - A sonnet (Redshift Remix)

5. E-Notion - Deep Water (Original Mix)
