Paul Oakenfold x Ferry Corsten - Metaverse
Read more . . . →Two trance legends in a studio in 2026 could have been a disaster, and “Metaverse” absolutely is not. Paul Oakenfold and Ferry Corsten have been headlining since before half the people dancing to this were born, and the shock is how current it sounds — no nostalgia lap, no dusting-off of an old sound. The kick is modern and punchy, the supersaws stacked the way they’re built now rather than the way they were in 2001, and the whole thing drives with real purpose. Underneath, though, the DNA is pure classic trance: a long, patient build, a breakdown that strips...

Omar Duro - Over It
Read more . . . →Trance is having a genuine moment again, and tracks like “Over It” are exactly why. Omar Duro built this one for the precise instant at 3am when the lights come all the way up and everyone suddenly remembers why they came out. It’s got the classic uplifting-trance architecture: a long patient build, a breakdown that holds its tension a beat longer than feels comfortable, then a release aimed straight at the tear ducts. The lead melody is huge and shamelessly emotional, the kind of thing that would be corny in any other genre and is the whole entire point in...

Xoro x James Hurr feat. ILIKERiCO - Reload

Eelke Kleijn x Budakid feat. Nathan Nicholson - Another Life
Read more . . . →That opening synth arpeggio hooked me before the vocal even arrived. “Another Life” is progressive-trance-leaning melodic house from a genuinely top-tier pairing — Eelke Kleijn’s cinematic sensibility meeting Budakid’s deeper touch, with Nathan Nicholson’s vocal floating over the whole thing. It’s the kind of track that builds for a full four minutes and makes every second of that build feel earned rather than padded. The breakdown strips back to just voice and pads before the main melodic line comes surging back around 4:00, and that return is honest goosebump territory if you’re on the right system in the right mood....

D.Lacrux x Bebbo - Conga
Read more . . . →“Conga” comes in swinging, a percussion-driven groove that grabs you by the hips before any melody bothers to show up. This is the more tribal, rhythmic end of trance, Armada territory, where the drums matter every bit as much as the topline, and D.Lacrux and Bebbo lean hard into that propulsion. It’s built around a relentless conga pattern (hence the name) that keeps rolling under absolutely everything, and about halfway through a euphoric synth line rises up out of the rhythm and lifts the whole thing skyward. That transition from head-down groove to hands-up release is the entire arc of...

Solarstone - Solarcoaster (SUPERSTRINGS Emotional Rollercoaster Remix)
Read more . . . →Nobody flies the flag for pure trance harder than Solarstone, and “Solarcoaster” is him doing exactly what the name promises. The SUPERSTRINGS “Emotional Rollercoaster” remix leans all the way into the drama — sweeping supersaws, a breakdown that goes full uplifting-trance church around 3:00, and a build so long and patient it borders on cruel before it finally releases. This is old-school, unironic trance for people who never accepted that the genre went out of fashion, and the recent revival has proven them right. The lead melody is the star: simple, borderline naive, and it lodges in your head for...

Alex M.O.R.P.H feat. Sylvia Tosun - An Angel's Love (Ben Nicky & WUKONG Remix)
Read more . . . →An Angel’s Love has been a trance staple since the late 2000s, one of those Sylvia Tosun vocals anyone who spent time in a trance room can hum on command. Ben Nicky and WUKONG have taken it and dragged it into 2026 with zero sentimentality. The euphoric original is still in there, but now it’s strapped to a harder, faster, more psy-leaning engine. The vocal soars exactly where you remember it soaring, and then the drop hits with a bassline that’s got real aggression to it, built for a festival main stage at midnight rather than a candlelit trance basement....

Joris Voorn - Horizon (Eelke Kleijn Remix)
Read more . . . →Two of the Netherlands’ most tasteful producers in one credit is a promising sight, and the Eelke Kleijn remix of Joris Voorn’s “Horizon” lives up to it. Kleijn takes Voorn’s original and stretches it into a long, patient, melodic-house journey. This is a builder, the kind of track that takes four minutes to fully arrive and rewards every second of the wait. It opens with a hypnotic little synth motif and slowly stacks layers on top: a sub that creeps in, a string line that swells, percussion that gathers like weather. The payoff around the 4:00 mark, when the full...
