Invision (Vadim Zvegintsev and Aleksander Okholov) may be more familiar to you as Sanglare, who follow up their brilliant remix of Airborne Angel’s Star (SIT #68) with their first original under this new alias. This is a truly sublime track with a fine lead melody set against deep, rich mids and bass. A standout track that is sure to be a big hit with DJ's and trance fans alike.

Bobcat came to our attention with his impressive work on labels such as Trance4Live, OSS and Destination Sunshine so we were extremely pleased to get him on board with this stellar tune. The brilliance here is in the simplicity of the fantastic lead melody, which is totally infectious, supported expertly by beautifully crafted low end drive. This is uplifting trance at its best.

A delightful track, and a fine way to round off our 76th release.

Released on Monday 29th July 2013.

Stories In Trance is proud to present our 75th release; we give you Thunderwolf featuring Elizabeth Tseng with the four track single This Is Our Life.

As usual, first we offer up the original. Stories In Trance is committed to showcasing the very best trance from all over the globe, and this time we unearth a gem in the shape of Taiwanese newcomer Thunderwolf (Tseng Chih Young). And it's a family affair, with his extremely talented sister Elizabeth Tseng on vocals: together they give us what is to be one of the best tracks of the year, the fantastic This Is Our Life.

This Is Our Life is an absolute must have for all trance fans and DJ's alike. Look out for plenty more from this very exciting producer on SIT in the coming weeks and months.

The first remix comes from Sweden's Ico (John Eriksson). His excellent early productions brought him to our attention last year so we were delighted to get him on board with his first remix for Stories In Trance, the superlative reinterpretation of Triumvirate's The Persistence Of Memory (SIT #60) and he backed that up with his truly fantastic remix of spArk's Moments (SIT #66). Ico delivers an energetic, uplifting and emotional trancer with which he sublimely weaves the beautiful vocals into an all round uplifting powerhouse of a track. We feel Ico is certainly one of trance's best up and coming producers so keep a close eye on his future creations.

The third and fourth adaptations come from Frenchman Jonathan Araldi under his now familiar French Skies alias. After his debut on Stories In Trance in the shape of The Wings Of A Dream (SIT #58) he then followed this with his first remix for us, delivering a fantastic reinterpretation of Triumvirate's epic The Persistence Of Memory (SIT#60), his two remixes of David Surok's Avalon (SIT #62) and most recently his remix of Airborne Angel's Star (SIT #68). Firstly we have his remix version, and this powerful track cuts straight to the chase. Featuring the subtly tweaked lead melody whilst expertly weaving additional aspects from the original including the amazing vocals into the mix, Jonathan creates a pure, energetic interpretation. Then we have his Progressive remix, taking this version down a different route focusing more on the vocal and melodic elements of the track. Two standout remixes that are a must have addition to any uplifting/progressive set or mix. This is a perfect illustration of what to expect from French Skies and why we are delighted to continue showcasing him on Stories In Trance.
