Stories In Trance happily offer up to you SIT 91 by Vaali with the three track Stars EP.

Russian producer Vaali (Arthur Valiev) made his production debut with his fabulous track My City (SIT #81) and since then has backed that up with a couple of superb remixes, the most recent of which being Skywell's Awakening (SIT #89). Once again Vaali shows his undoubted talents with three fantastic tracks which create this stand-out EP.

Up first is the title track Stars and what a tune this is: every second counts in this short but truly immense track. The sublime lead melody is backed up with sensational mids, underpinned with great effect by a driving kick making this a very early contender to be one of the strongest productions of 2014.

Secondly comes 2013 named in honour of Vaali's breakthrough year and this track does the title justice. Beautiful piano synths put the garnish on this big-room trancer that once again displays all the production excellence we now come to expect from Vaali.

To round out this superb EP we have Oceans and yet again Vaali delivers the goods with another awesome track. Warm and delicate mids are delightfully complimented by a deep, rich bass set amongst fine production flair. This poignantly rounds out a truly accomplished EP that both Stories In Trance and Arthur are rightfully proud of- a must for any and all trance fans and DJ's alike.

With this release Stories In Trance shows once again why it is the most diverse and individual label in trance. Always driven by the ideals that we started out with and our ever keen attention to detail, we encourage freedom of expression from all involved in our projects. The end result is pure, undiluted creativity. Because of this, and above all, we are proud to put them out there.

Stories In Trance present to you SIT 90 by Craig London Featuring Lokka with the four track single Falling Down.

Firstly we have the original mix. Craig's career to date has seen him make several impressive appearances with us with some fine remixes and originals, most recently with his track Drop Zone (SIT #87). Once again Craig is on top form showcasing his vast talents, and this time he gives us a more delicate and subtle track using the vocals from Lokka to beautiful effect. Warm and infectious melodies and mids are complimented superbly by the fantastic vocals, which altogether give us a truly fabulous vocal track that stands up there with the very best. Craig had an excellent 2013 and in our opinion is one of the best new producers in the scene, so look out for plenty more from him coming in 2014.

The second offering is the Dub mix, all the melodic qualities of the original for those who prefer it without the vocals.

Next we have the first of two remixes, and this one comes from Stories In Trance favourite Max Stealthy. Fresh from his debut album It's A Matter Of Time (SIT #88) Max is back on remix duties and once again delivers the goods. Taking the track down a more uplifting and energetic route, he uses all the melodic and vocal components to awesome effect. This is a real standout production that perfectly captures the effect of great vocal trance.

The second remix and final track on the release comes in the shape of the Skywell remix. Swedish producer Skywell (Jonas Skyldeberg) made his production debut with his seminal track Gothenburg (SIT #84) and then turned his hand to a remix with awesome results: his sublime remix of Jens Jakob’s Grey Cloud (SIT #85). Proving it was no fluke, his follow up original further enhanced his flourishing reputation, the brilliant Awakening (SIT #89), Jonas expertly uses the fine lead melody amidst the sensational vocals, which come together brilliantly in this creative and well polished remix. There is no doubt that it is a superb piece of trance.

With this release Stories In Trance shows once again why it is the most diverse and individual label in trance. Always driven by the ideals that we started out with and our ever keen attention to detail, we encourage freedom of expression from all involved in our projects. The end result is pure, undiluted creativity. Because of this, and above all, we are proud to put them out there.

Skywell returns to Stories In Trance for our 89th release with the three track single Awakening.

First things first, we start with the Original. Swedish producer Skywell (Jonas Skyldeberg) made his production debut with his brilliant track Gothenburg (SIT #84) and then turned his hand to a remix with awesome results: his sublime remix of Grey Cloud (SIT #85). Now back with his second original Awakening, Jonas expertly uses the fine lead melody amidst some stunning layering and effects, which come together brilliantly in this creative and well polished tune. We won't tell you what this track should remind you of or what feelings it should evoke, as the listener it's up to you to make this track personal however that may be, but there is no doubt that it is a superb piece of trance.

Two excellent remixes back up the Original mix and the first comes from none other than Airborne Angel. Gustaf Westin is back on remix duties for his friend and compatriot Jonas after his remix of Gothenburg (SIT #84). As usual his amazing production skills are on full show as he crafts a unique interpretation of the lead melody into a remix that stands up there with the very best. Bespoke. Beautiful. Pure Brilliance. We expect nothing less from Airborne Angel. A must have for everyone who loves trance.

The final track on this release is the Vaali Remix. Russian producer Vaali (Arthur Valiev) made his production debut with his fabulous track My City (SIT #81) and after being inspired when hearing Jens Jakob's Euphorica he requested the opportunity to remix the track, the end result was the staggering remix that featured on Grey Cloud/Euphorica (SIT #85). Once again Vaali shows his undoubted talents with this immense remix; short, succinct  yet well defined, using all the assets of the original infused with Vaali's trademark production quality all add up to a truly great interpretation.

With this release Stories In Trance shows once again why it is the most diverse and individual label in trance. Always driven by the ideals that we started out with and our ever keen attention to detail, we encourage freedom of expression from all involved in our projects.

SIT 88 Max Stealthy - It's A Matter Of Time.

Check out all the tracks on the album with this link:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RJGMi1MzV44

Released on Monday 23rd December 2013.

Stories In Trance are truly proud to give to you SIT 88 by Max Stealthy with his debut album 'It's A Matter Of Time'.

After nearly four years, Stories In trance offer up our first artist album and it's from one of the most important and influential producers on our label- Poland's Max ‘Stealthy’ Szalko.

Max’s productions beautifully combine strong lead melodies with pace and power, but he has the ability to offer up a wide range of styles with trance, and this is perfectly demonstrated with the quality and diversity on this 10 track album. After making his debut on SIT in the autumn of 2011 with his sublime Charge EP (SIT #14) Max has produced many great originals and remixes and has played a definitive part in some of our most notable releases to date.

Titled 'It's A Matter Of Time' this reflects over 3 years in the making and features a selection of his best tracks from his previous releases as well as some new productions written especially for this album. In our opinion this album is one of the most impressive we have seen for some time, and feel that quality comes from the fact that all the previously released tracks have been featured on some very strong releases and the new tracks have been created purposely to sit alongside the finest of his previous work. There is no album filler tracks on 'It's A Matter Of Time' and we think that makes it one of the very best EDM artist albums in many a year.

Max has and continues to be one of the most significant producers on Stories In Trance and it is truly a pleasure to put out this fantastic album that features ten pieces of trance excellence.

With this release Stories In Trance shows once again why it is the most diverse and individual label in trance. Always driven by the ideals that we started out with and our ever keen attention to detail, we encourage freedom of expression from all involved in our projects. The end result is pure, undiluted creativity. Because of this, and above all, we are proud to put them out there.

SIT 87 Craig London - Drop Zone

SIT 87 Craig London - Drop Zone

Released on Monday 16th December 2013.

Stories In Trance are pleased to offer up SIT 87 by Craig London with the three track single Drop Zone.

As is now tradition, firstly we have the original mix. Craig's career to date has seen him make several impressive appearances with us with some fine remixes, most recently his fantastic version of Fly Away (SIT #86) which was preceded by his debut originals with the Double A-Sided Single Footprints and The Colour Of Gold. Once again Craig is on top form showcasing his vast talents, and this time he gives us a more energetic and powerful original. The excellent lead melody is backed up by driving mids and powerful bass- all the hallmarks of a big room stormer. Craig has had an excellent 2013 and in our opinion is one of the best new producers in the scene, so look out for plenty more from him coming soon.

Up second we have Max Stealthy's version. Max has been a key player on Stories In Trance for some years now, and has an extensive list of tracks and remixes with us, most recently his brilliant version of Ignite (SIT #82). Max has built himself a potent reputation with his consistent production prowess and once again he serves up a truly great track, expertly evolving the great lead melody, backed with fantastic effects, depth and driving mids. Max's production technique continues to go from strength to strength showing yet more innovation and imagination. A great remix to add to his fantastic discography.

The third and final part of Drop Zone comes from Dutchman Locus (Walter Lootens). Locus made a fantastic debut on Stories In Trance with his remix of White Poison (SIT #57) and followed that with his earth shattering version of Heavenly Delight (SIT #73). After a little breather, he returns in emphatic fashion with another fine remix: a short, concise rethink that is packed with energy and power, expertly using the lead to great effect. Locus really is an exciting and promising young producer who we have no doubt will bring lots more creativity to trance in the future.

With this release Stories In Trance shows once again why it is the most diverse and individual label in trance. Always driven by the ideals that we started out with and our ever keen attention to detail, we encourage freedom of expression from all involved in our projects.

SIT 86 Thunderwolf Featuring Elizabeth Tseng - Fly Away

Released on Monday 9th December 2013.

Stories In Trance proudly present SIT 86 by Thunderwolf Featuring Elizabeth Tseng with the three track single Fly Away.

As usual, first up is the original. Stories In Trance is committed to showcasing the very best trance from all over the globe and this time it's the fourth outing for Taiwanese newcomer Thunderwolf (Tseng Chih Young) and his third track featuring the vocals of his sister Elizabeth Tseng. Fly Away is an energetic and uplifting track that expertly uses the superb vocals to add a fantastic dimension to the piece. Fabulously crafted, this is another fine production from this highly talented artist.

The first of two remixes comes from Stories In Trance legend Derrick Meyer who brings his unique style to create this superb version. Being one of the USA's best uplifting trance producers, Derrick's back catalogue with us is vast and equally great with his last outing - his remix of Euphorica (SIT #78) - being a perfect illustration of his exceptional talent. This is Derrick’s first vocal project, but once again he delivers the goods with his usual production excellence. His unmistakable melodic dynamics and expertly polished layering (something ever present and always greatly impressive in Derrick's work) all amount to a brilliant and truly bespoke track.

Up third is Craig London's remix. Craig's career to date has seen him make several impressive appearances with us with some fine remixes, more recently his fantastic version of Ignite (SIT #82) which was followed by his debut original on Stories In Trance, the Double A-Sided Single Footprints and The Colour Of Gold (SIT #83). Once again Craig is on top form showcasing his vast talents, taking all the best bits from the original and combining that with his now trademark style, this is a remix that really hits the sweet spot. Craig has had an excellent 2013 and in our opinion is one of the best new producers in the EDM scene, so look out for plenty more from him coming soon.

SIT 85 Jens Jakob - Grey Cloud / Euphorica

SIT 85 Jens Jakob - Grey Cloud / Euphorica

Released on Monday 18th November 2013.

Stories In Trance proudly offer up SIT 85 by Jens Jakob with the three track single Grey Cloud / Euphorica.

Jens made his debut on SIT with his fantastic track Euphorica (SIT #78) and is back at his best again with Grey Cloud. Much like Euphorica this track has a great lead melody and plenty of energy, power and emotion. This is a real piece of uplifting trance gold and a truly standout track.

Up next we have the Skywell remix of Grey Cloud. Swedish producer Skywell made his production debut with his brilliant track Gothenburg (SIT #84) and turns his hand to a remix with awesome results. He expertly uses the lead melody with some stunning layering and effects which come together brilliantly in this creative and well polished remix. A superb track from a very talented new artist.

The final track on this release is the Vaali Intro Remix of Jens's first offering on Stories In Trance- Euphorica. Russian producer Vaali (Arthur Valiev) made his production debut with his fabulous track My City (SIT #81) and after being inspired when hearing Euphorica he requested the opportunity to remix the track. The end product is a beautiful, wonderful piece of trance: an immense interpretation of the original with production technique second to none. The intro alone is astounding and it all adds up to one of the most imaginative tracks of the year.

Stories In Trance aims to uncover the most talented and imaginative new producers and team up with some of the more established names in the scene to work together in evolving the sound. This release sticks firmly to our philosophy of showcasing a diverse range of sounds within trance and we hope you'll enjoy the variety of imagination and creativity on offer in this release.
