Guz & Mischa Daniels - Take Me Higher

Three trance tracks from Armada in one batch — the label clearly had a productive week. Guz & Mischa Daniels’s “Take Me Higher” is the most straightforward of the three, which is not a knock. Sometimes a track that simply does the job cleanly is the most valuable thing in the pile. The melody is big without being overwrought, the drop lands with the kind of satisfying inevitability that good trance is built on, and nothing overstays its welcome. Guz has been consistent in this lane for years and Mischa Daniels brings the right energy to a collaboration that could’ve easily gotten too polished to feel like anything. There’s a moment toward the back half where the track just opens up and runs — no gimmick, no extra layer, just the melody doing its job without any help. That’s harder to make than it sounds. Armada is going to have a good week in the analytics off this batch alone.
