Altered Waves : Ephemeral

Back once again, causing a stir on Solar Storm, we showcase another superb single from the Canadian duo Altered Waves. Based in Montreal, Anthony Santopolo and Davide Campellone released their debut EP on Solar Storm in 2019, entitled V3 & Collide. Since then, the duo continue to push their sounds further with this energising and atmospheric single titled 'Ephemeral'. Altered Waves are know for their crystal clear productions and this is a prime example. Ephemeral contains many components that are well balanced with each other, from the crisp fluctuating synth lines that are underpinned with powerful side chain bass, to the punchy drums, all tightly controlled with distortion. At the 2 minute mark you will find an impressive breakdown, in which a highly catchy, emotive melody, layered with piano emerges. This transforms the track into new territory and drops with full energy for high dance floor impact.

Tilt : Invisible (Jaytech Remix)

Take a spin back to 1999 with progressive trance masters Tilt. Mick Park, Mick Wilson,John Graham and Paul Van Dyk got together in the night before Creamfields to produce the wonderful Rendezvous. A year later singer Grace (fresh from chart hit "It's not over yet") added her sultry vocal to supercharge the track to become "Invisible". Skimming the UK Top 40 the track became an instant club smash with Paul Oakenfold and just about every other DJ offering support. 22 years later and quite unbelievably the first ever new remix of the track is finally here. On the remix duties is Australian Jaytech who stays faithful to the original by adding layers of muscular electronic charging beats and grooves. Look out for a follow on remix remix from Game Of Thrones Kristian Nairn coming up in a few weeks time.

Greece 2000

Next up on Solar Storm we revisit one of the all-time trance top moments, Greece 2000. Working with the Hooj Choons crew - who were such a big part of the success of the classic - we present three new trance flavoured remixes for your listening pleasure. First up we clock in with Matt Fax. His productions and remixes for labels such as Enhanced and Anjuna have propelled this talented Frenchman into the big leagues. His remix is a progressive low-slung groover. Warbling gut-busting basses, darting keys and that all important Greece 2000 riff in crescendo.
