I guess in my posts of outstanding trance artists, Joe Garrett aka “Temple One” was mentioned often enough and there are only a few people out there, whose releases contain such a consistent quality as the ones from Joe.
ButI want to recommend the works of Simon Patterson as well whose tracks are always a pure pleasure to listen to. There are not many DJs out there that create such interesting tracks that consist of floating, heavy beats, progressive elements combined with very melodic breaks and main themes – all of these mixed perfectly and never boring.
You can listen to a lot of tunes (in full length) on his Myspace page. Note especially “Always” – one of the best trance releases last year, “Thump” and the new track “Miss you” which contains a very nice piano theme.
Freshly bought here are some very good new trance tracks:
Oceanlab – I am what I am (Lange remix): While “Lonely girl” just came out as the next single, this track is available on the remix album. By far the best remix/song on that album. Another quality mix by Lange whose releases are always addictive masterpieces.
Joe Garrett – Afterglow (Temple One Mix): To clear it up – Joe Garrett *is* Temple One. I got no idea why he used his real name for this production, it is in the same style as his other tracks. Maybe because it was released at a different label.
Gareth Emery – Exposure/Metropolis: These tracks came out simultaneously and it is difficult to judge which one of them wins. I’ll give the prize to Metropolis though.
Just visited Temple One’s Myspace page and I was stunned by an excerpt of a fantastic new track, a remix for the Romanian DJ ATA called “Blue skies” which plays right at the beginning when you enter the page. What a break! Hopefully soon this and “Offshore is gonna be released.
