Stories In Trance - Chapter 31. The fifth episode of 2016 sees us turn our focus towards the best modern and future trance classics. Featuring some of the finest tracks and remixes from Leon Bolier Featuring Floria Ambra, Rafael Frost, Akira Kayosa, K Blank & Moelamonde, M.I.K.E. Push, I5land, Mart Sine, Basil XM, Sean Tyas & Pulser.
Stories In Trance proudly showcase SIT 136 by Soundwave with the four track single Last Moments (Re-Lived).
First up we have the Original mix. Initially released in March 2012 as part of the In Quarto EP (SIT 20) we have re-released it as part of our Back Track series and given Last Moments its own single. Italian producer Soundwave (Adrian Iamandei) who featured prominently in SIT's first fifty or so releases, gives us this mixture of pace, power and a superb lead melody. Pure uplifting trance doesn't get much better than this.
The first of the three remixes comes from Max Stealthy. As with all of Max's productions on SIT the composition is second to none: the driving lead melody and subtle usage of the beautiful and euphoric atmospheric layering all make a fantastic remix. We have always loved working with Max and with tracks of this standard it's very obvious why. A truly talented artist and a true gent, we have been working with Max for over five years now which is something we are very proud of indeed.
The third track on this release comes from Danny Legatto. Polish producer Danny Legatto (AKA Roman Korbut) makes his debut on SIT with this fantastic remix. Danny has been producing for over five and first came to our attention with his superb work on Vectiva Recordings and Yaveric Records so we were delighted to get him involved with us. His production career to date has also seen him appear on labels such as Sensual Bliss, D.Max, State Control, Extrema and Beyond The Stars to mention a few. With this remix Danny sticks to his usual uplifting trance style whilst adding his own subtle touches to the piece using the lead to fabulous effect, perfectly complimented by beautiful atmospheric touches and delicate, yet potent piano layering. Another fine production to add to Danny's ever growing reputation.
Rounding off the release is the Basil XM remix. Fresh from his most recent appearance on SIT with his stunning rethink of Vince Schuld's Distance Means Nothing (SIT 127), Basil is back with another fantastic remix. Continuing with the more uplifting style of some of his previous work he uses the instantly recognisable lead melody to great effect, along with driving mids, potent low-end force and crystal clear percussion. After a final polish from SIT's masterful Dan Garton the end result is something very special indeed.
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 give to the world SIT 135 by Fulgurant with the three track single If It Ain't Broke.
As is proper, up first is the Original Mix. Fulgurant makes his debut on SIT in fine style with this superb track, the first of what we hope is many outings on Stories In Trance for this talented up-and-coming producer who came to our attention after his excellent track Suspect on Mashbuk Recordings earlier in 2016. The strong lead melody is perfectly complimented by sublime layering and warm atmospherics which give the track a beautiful feel, perfectly brought to life once again by our in-house mastering expert Dan Garton. A very impressive production from a extremely exciting new artist.
The first of two remixes is from Czech producer Ludek Simcik under his moniker I5land, making his third of what we hope is many appearances on Stories In Trance with this great remix, following his debut remix of Thunderwolf's The Lost Valley (SIT 130). He adds a deeper, more driving low-end to his mix, whilst keeping the delicate melodic feel of the Original, with well balanced and subtle layering keeping the track progressing throughout. Another seminal production from this top class producer!
The second remix comes from Germany's Matt Mancid. On the back of his stellar remix of Max Stealthy's One Day I Desire (SIT 125) Matt is on remix duties again with another superb offering. He takes the track down a very creative path, brilliantly fusing a mixture of both of Matt's uplifting and progressive styles. This remix is something very special indeed- a real stand out track. And for a final polish, once our resident mastering master Dan worked his magic, the finished article shines as a great alternative to the original and adds to Matt's reputation as a fabulous producer.

We are happy to share our April 2016 chart on Trackitdown.net.

Stories In Trance proudly give to the world SIT 134 by Airborne Angel with the ten track artist album 'The Collection'.
The Collection is the second artist album to be released on SIT after Max Stealthy's It's A Matter Of Time (SIT 88) and this time we turn our attention to Airborne Angel's original discography on Stories In Trance.
Airborne Angel (Gustaf Westin) will forever be held in the highest regard by all at SIT, with his track Apollo starting our label's journey in superlative style back in the summer of 2010. His fantastic work continued to grace Stories In Trance over the years and was met with acclaim from DJ's, fellow producers and trance fans alike. The mixture of instantly memorable lead melodies and the unmistakable production finesse always proved to be a winning combination within the trance scene.
Within these ten tracks we believe there to be some of the very best original creations in trance over the last decade. Never afraid to experiment whilst always adhering to a fastidious creative process, the broad structure of trance styles covered in these tracks perfectly illustrates the imaginative ideals and first-rate execution that made his productions stand out from the crowd. These tracks will forever sound fresh and innovative.
We at Stories In Trance are extremely proud to have released productions of this standard individually over the last six years and we think 'The Collection' is a fitting tribute to the legend that is Airborne Angel.
