Review: Anske “Unleashed”

February 8, 2016NewsAnske, Coldharbour Recordings, newsKostas Voulgaris

Anke is at it again. Another anthem graces our presence from his debut E.P. on Coldharbour Recordings. Following suit to its predecessor, the already acclaimed “Epika”, “Unleashed” takes things down to a deeper, darker place. He takes us on a stroll down dark and eerie pathways while our senses begin to tingle from the thought of what may lurk around the corner. Around the bend the tracks breaks down, descending, while ghostly calls beckon us forward as we find ourselves surrounded by a rich and longing melody, playing the role of our host to a world where anything can be expected. In a flash the melodious lead takes over sending us to the highest heights, conquering our fears and we embark glorious on our conquest of life from a fresh perspective. If anything can be said about Anske is that he is certainly an artist to keep a close eye on in 2016. He hasn’t unleashed all his energy and diversity just yet. There is plenty more underway.

Review: Anske “Epika”

February 1, 2016NewsAnske, Coldharbour Recordings, Epika, newsKostas Voulgaris

Hailing from Lithuania DJ/Producer Anske (real name Andrej Anskinas),has been on a roll, releasing one mega track after another. There is no wonder why “Epika” was instantly snatched up by the Coldharbour headquarters, as it fits in perfectly with all that the label itself represents.

Dark, menacing and dynamic are some of the key attributes of this power stormer. Starting off hot and heavy, steadily pacing us for the ultimate breakdown, our spirit and morale are instantly boosted when the lead melody kicks in. The feeling the listener attains is a grand one. Almost in the same way an army from ancient times may take heed of its revered leader and march relentlessly across the battlefield armed with a fierceness and iron determination, almost invincible. That is exactly what this track accomplishes. Inspiring and ruthless to it’s core, “Epika” shall remain carved within our memories for years to come!

Review: Coldharbour Recordings Best of 2015 Top 20

January 10, 2016NewsAdina Butar, Arkham Knights, Artisan, Black Hole Recordings, Coldharbour Recordings, Danilo Ercole, Dave Neven, Dimension, Judge Jules, Klauss Goulart, M.I.K.E. Push, Markus Schulz, Mike EFEX, Mr Pit, news, Nifra, Purple Stories, Rank 1, Ron Alperin, Solid Stone, Tenishia, TranceAirec Syprasert

It was an amazing year for Coldharbour Recordings. The Miami based label did not cut any corners in 2015 as they satisfied the thirst of trance fans with stunning releases. Whether it be in an intimate clubs until the early morning of the next day, or at a festival with thousands of strangers who are connected by the same beat, or at home for your own convenience, the sounds of Coldharbour was there helping people groove. Just in case you missed it, Black Hole Recordings made it easy to enjoy the top Coldharbour Recordings tracks of last year. The list of future favorites does not disappoint as it contains elements of progressive, dark, uplifting and everything in between.

The list contains a great number of talents. Fisherman & Hawkins, who destroyed the ceilings of dance floors with “Skypunch”, and Klauss Goulart, stealing hearts with his hit “Bashert (We’ll Meet Again)”, are some of the recognizable names on the list. Then there’s a new rising stars under the Coldharbour banner like UK’s Arkham Knights, rocking the world with their hit “Knightfall”, and Chicago’s Dave Neven, letting dancers everywhere know that the world could use more cowbells with his single “Drifter”.

To ask me to rank those 20 tracks and choose my favorite would be a crime against trance music. I would be lying if I said that I didn’t put one or two or 20 of those songs on repeat as I went on a run or cleaned the house. Plus, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. I’m sure that applies to ears, as well, or something. So give this compilation a listen and arrange your own list of which track tugs at your heartstrings the most. With so much to choose from, it’s ok to be lost and confused, I know I was.

‘Coldharbour Recordings Best of 2015 Top 20’ is available on Beatport or iTunes.

Here’s the tracklist:

Review: Markus Schulz and Fisherman & Hawkins “Gotham Serenade”

January 4, 2016NewsCity Series, Coldharbour Recordings, Fisherman & Hawkins, Markus Schulz, newsKostas Voulgaris

Anyone that happens to be a fan of Markus Schulz is certainly familiar with his city series concept in which he would dedicate an album to the city that impressed him the most over the year. In 2015 he decided to take things to the next level by constructing a track for each city that left its mark on him. It started with “Bayfront (Miami)” and followed with “Bine Facut (Bucharest)” together with Tom Boxer, “Golden Gate (San Francisco)”, “This Generation (Indio)”, “Bombay (Mumbai)”, “Lost in the Box (London)”, “Daybreak” (Boom)”, “Avalon (Los Angeles)”, “Cathedral (Montreal)”, “Dancing in the Red Light (Amsterdam)” and “The Creation (Prague)” along with Nifra.

It all ends with the final chapter of this endeavor which is dedicated to the grand city of New York. He is not alone in this creation and has enlisted Dutch hyper duo Fisherman and Hawkins who have also produced heavyweight anthems of their own over the past years. We embark on a tough and aggressive stroll through the bustling and crowd filled streets of New York. Markus and the guys are masters at serenading us with a distinguished variety of high-powered vibes and emotional, vibrant soundscapes that perfectly represent the city that never sleeps. Haunting melodies, anthemic leads and darkness seeping in through every inch of this are to be expected. Majestic, regal and cutting edge like the metropolis itself there is no stopping the tendency to move. Every muscle in our body urges us to get up and sway to the beat while feeling the rush of this vibrant, living breathing city.

End of Year Countdown 2015 Featuring Coldharbour Recordings | Tracklists and Sets

December 29, 2015NewsAfterhours.FM, Arkham Knights, Coldharbour Recordings, Darren McNally, EOYC 2015, Fisherman & Hawkins, Gai Barone, Grube & Hovsepian, M.I.K.E. Push, Markus Schulz, Mr Pit, news, Nifra, Solid Stone, Tenishia, WellenrauschSuzanne Welker Jurgens

Closing out Afterhours.fm’s End of Year Countdown 2015 Day 12 was 20 hours of exclusive sets from some of our favorite Coldharbour Recordings’ artists. The highlight of the day was a 3 hour EOYC exclusive set from the Coldharbour Recordings label boss, Markus Schulz. We’ll be posting sets and tracklists as they become available, so keep checking back for updates!

From Markus Schulz:

Hello again,

My final gift to you as another year closes, and one that will hopefully turn out to be worth the copious hours of preparation.

As a thank you for inspiring and helping me throughout the various visits around the world, here is a three hour journey for Afterhours.fm’s End of Year Countdown celebrations. I’m proud to have been asked to participate in every single one since the station launched, and thankful that they ask me to provide something beyond the usual one hour for the past few occasions.

Much like a reflection of the open to close solo sets, the extended time allows the full Markus Schulz sound palette to blossom – starting deep, and building things up as we go along. A collection of some of my favorites across the genres in recent months, a few brand new IDs being debuted for the first time on radio, and a little sprinkling of classics.

Hope you enjoy the journey, and please leave your thoughts for me in the comments, I appreciate your feedback.

Have a fantastic and safe NYE celebration, a very Happy New Year for 2016, and see you for the Global DJ Broadcast Classics Showcase on Thursday January 7th.

With love,
Markus x

Review: Dan Thompson & Ron Alperin “The Punisher”

December 20, 2015MusicColdharbour Recordings, Dan Thompson, news, Ron AlperinKostas Voulgaris

Englishman Dan Thompson is surely an artist which has been making his own ripples in the wild rapids of dance music. Here we see him teaming up with newcomer to the scene Israeli Ron Alperin. Ron can be joyous indeed as he already has had a nice string of releases on labels such as Coldharbour and AEZ Recordings. It was only logical that these two had to get together in the music lab and create a monster. This is the honest truth as “The Punisher” is a track that will be talked about amongst dance music enthusiasts for quite some time! Combining their musical cores and influences as one, the result is nothing short of amazing. ”The Punisher” delivers some serious punishment on the dance floor, infused with raw energy and a lead that remains intact in one’s memory. The eerie vocal snippets combined with the dark atmosphere prepare us for what lays ahead. Once the break arrives and the epic melody takes over, the temperature begins to rise, as the soaring lead infiltrates our mind and we feel ourselves being taken over by an invisible force urging us to dance frantically to the beat. Open your ears and let “The Punisher” enforce you to dance!

Dan Thompson & Ron Alperin “The Punisher” is available now on Coldharbour Recordings as part of the EP ‘Markus Schulz Presents Coldharbour Selections: Part 39 – Trance Nation Edition’. Additional tracks on the EP include Danilo Ercole “Format” and Artisan “World’s Apart”.

Review: Arkham Knights “Knightfall”

November 26, 2015MusicArkham Knights, Coldharbour Recordings, Infrasonic, Interstate Recordings, Markus Schulz, newsAirec Syprasert

Arkham Knights is rapidly gaining the attention of dark, progressive trance lovers everywhere after only exploding into the scene a year ago on Infrasonic and Interstate Recordings. Stuart and Ben Turner are the two brothers under the vigilant name that strikes fear into the hearts of villains that haunts the Dark Knight’s world in the DC Universe. Their success was quickly recognized with hits like “Tomorrow’s World” and “Jedi”, a collaboration with Harry Square. Markus Schulz is also a witness to their achievements as Coldharbour Recordings releases their recent production under their mantel.

With the shadow of their Cowl to live up to, “Knightfall” starts off as powerful as the name. Within the first few seconds, a pounding bass starts the march as a looping electro synth and an escalating jingle ignites the light of war. Once the sharp taps of a snare drums are present, the intensity of the song is heightened. The allied cymbals and kick-drums starts to bang with more conviction, fighting together towards the much anticipated climax. However, there is a calm before the storm as a washout breakdown provides a peaceful break with its beautiful chords that omits an uplifting melody that allows one to survey the dance floor before engaging into combat. The euphoric calm comes to the end with the return of rhythmic tom toms and snares. The drop releases a cavalry composed of instruments and electronic synths that have been built up from the fury of pounding percussions and ravishing melodies of strings and pads produced chords. Once the battle is over, an aggressive drum-roll and a victorious bass leads us off the battlefield.

“Knightfall” is an amazing and energetic track. The Turner brothers does a great job using effective percussions with quick short taps and looping synths that emulates the heated passion of war and victory. At first, the track begins with such raw emotion from different sounds, but as the battle paves way on the dance floor, everything finds its place and forms a synergy of music with a duality of beauty and aggression that makes you want to clinch your fist and scream out your allegiance to these new heroes. Like their release on Infrasonic and Interstate, the track combines elements of techno and progressive perfectly that’s energetic and fun for those who attempts to conquer the dance floor. This track lives up to its predecessors as it is still on Beatport’s Trance Top 10 after its debut four weeks ago. There’s no losing steam for these two. As the battle for The Cowl continues by DJs throughout the world, the Arkham Knights are going to be strong players in that battle as we fall victim to their might on their path to be the best.

“Knightfall” is available on Beatport: Arkham Knights – Knightfall. The track is also available now on Spotify.

Review: Mr. Pit vs. Fisherman & Hawkins “Doppelbanger”

November 24, 2015NewsColdharbour Recordings, Doppelbanger, Fisherman & Hawkins, Mr Pit, news, TranceTory Clinton

One of the most successful Romanian music producers, Mr. Pit is known for his energetic live DJ set and amazing original productions. He has remixed for some of the biggest talents in the electronic music world and has built a fantastic name for himself. Since signing with Coldharbour, this heavy hitter has taken off. Fisherman & Hawkins have been in the EDM scene for quite a while. Performing, producing and organizing events is what they have done over the past few years. Since late 2011 they decided to combine their forces on the production level and the tracks began to flow. Mr. Pit and Fisherman & Hawkins have shared many nights on stage together in the past year, both contributing heavily to the Coldharbour Nights worldwide. Their friendship developed further with this collaboration in the studio which accents all the artists perfectly. The deep, dark and devilish, “Doppelbanger” was then born.

Right out of the gate “Doppelbanger” has a nice deep drive that lures you into the track almost immediately. The bass line used is so powerful while being subtle at the same time. About two minutes into this track the original drive softens out to a beautiful melodic creation that resonates through your ears. The notes used blend so well together it is almost indescribable. After this part of the track imprints into your brain you are brought right back into that dark drive that you’ll love. Once you finish riding that out you can’t help yourself other than to replay it again to take another journey through “Doppelbanger”.

Adrian, Isaac and Rob really outdid themselves when creating this track. Recently I incorporated “Doppelbanger” into one of my own sets and the crowd loved every second of this masterpiece as I suspected. Take a listen to the track below.

Review: Markus Schulz & Nifra “The Creation (Prague) [Transmission Theme 2015]”

November 19, 2015MusicColdharbour Recordings, Markus Schulz, news, Nifra, Prague, TransmissionFred Leonard

In a few days will take place one of the biggest indoor trance event in Europe, The amazing Transmission in Prague. Markus, who is always saying this event is part of the most important one to him, is considered as the Transmission resident DJ. So it is really not a surprise he will be Saturday for the 11^th time on the magical O2 Arena stage.

To me, Transmission is really the event “not to be missed” too. Everything contributes to make this party a perfect one: the city, the iconic venue, the show with all these lasers & lights, the line-up and, of course, the epic Czech crowd! it’s also probably the event with the most of my friends and familiar faces around, coming from more than 60 countries.

As he promised months ago, Markus wrote, for the 7^th time, an anthem track dedicated to this event, which will also be the November track of his upcoming City Series album. But, the big surprise is that he didn’t do it alone. Indeed, this track, named “The Creation”, is also his first collaboration with the Slovakian Trance queen and Coldharbour artist, Nifra.

The result is a 7:27 minutes long incredible but unusual track, very different from previous Transmission Anthems. I have to admit I was a bit worry when Markus posted a few seconds extracts of the track on Snapchat, but it didn’t last long! What a good surprise, last October, in Amsterdam, when I heard Markus playing it for the first time! After the breakdown, a strong and powerful lead sound is used to build a long and progressive journey till the climax, that I’m sure will make people becoming crazy with all the Transmission Lasers in action! For sure, this moment will be one of the highlights of this new unforgettable night in the Czech Republic capital.

Review: James De Torres “Poseidon”

November 8, 2015Music, NewsColdharbour Recordings, James De Torres, M.I.K.E. Push Studios, newsAirec Syprasert

Age is nothing but a number when it comes to Spanish DJ James (Borja) De Torres. The Madrid native makes his sophomore production debut on M.I.K.E. Push Studios, a sub-label of Coldharbour Recordings. After spending 10 years mastering the musical strings of the violin, Torres love for awe-inspiring music eventually lead him to develop an ear for the sounds of trance.

Following his first release, “Monumental”, “Poseidon” displays Torres ability to create beautiful melodies that encompass the rhythm of the drum. The track starts off with quick rudiments that are soon engulfed by a revving synth. This creates a series of musical tides that crashes beautifully on the shores of our ears, as the cries of the sea howls in the background. It doesn’t take long for the track to pick up speed as it nears the breakdown. The driving momentum of the song, however, comes from the fluctuating percussions and sharp taps of the cymbal instead of electronic pads and keyboards. Despite all the heavy drum strokes that accumulates towards the climax, the percussions are not overpowering and perfectly compliments the euphoric tones. And unlike most songs with a powerful bass, the release does not lose its momentum after the drop. Instead of a basic banger drop, the snares and tom-tom gracefully transcends the drop into a groovy beat that is sure to get the dance floor moving. The electronic chords are the beautiful like magnificent sea, while the drums are the ripples that create violent waves, crashing with the wrath of Poseidon, emulating a musical tsunami.

Torres unleashes a musical arsenal in his second track; there are a plethora of instruments and synths that are integrated into the song. The combined melodies feels like a musical ocean that washes over you. He does an excellent job using percussions as the backbone of the song that is perfectly balanced. Throughout the track, you can hear, and feel, a drummer working his artful craft on a drum kit, tapping the hi hats and kicking the kick drum. As he sets a high bar after his second release, the trance world is going to have to wait anxiously for his third production as Torres continues to grow into an international DJ.

“Poseidon” is available on Beatport: James De Torres – Poseidon
