Big, unashamed, hands-in-the-air trance is having a real moment again, and Join Me is a fine argument for why. DAIRE and Lightforce build this on a supersaw lead that could strip paint, but the melody is genuinely good: a rising phrase that resolves exactly where your ear wants it to, which is trance’s whole trick when it’s done right. The breakdown around 2:00 goes full emotional, all reverbed vocal and held chords, before the drop slams everything back to 138 and lets the kick carry the rest. This isn’t cerebral music and it isn’t trying to be; it’s engineered for one specific 3am moment when the lights and the crowd and the drop all line up at once. I’ve never managed to be cynical about trance, and tracks like this are the reason why. The nostalgia is baked in, but the energy underneath it is completely real. Turn it up loud enough to annoy someone in the next room.
