Second Elysian pick because the label earned it and WORLD CUP is ridiculous in the way I want trance to be ridiculous. The title is dumb and the track absolutely backs it up with a main riff that sounds like a stadium full of people who all lost their minds at once. Tayo Ricci builds the energy with zero patience, which is usually a complaint but here it’s the entire appeal. You get maybe thirty seconds before it’s already trying to peel your face off. The kick pattern is relentless and the synth stabs are tuned to that perfect uncomfortable frequency that makes a sound system feel dangerous. This is festival trance with no apologies and no chill section to catch your breath. I respect a producer who decides the whole song is going to be the best part and just commits to it. Not every track needs a journey. Some of them just need to go off from the first second and not stop. WORLD CUP goes off. That’s the review.
