‘Republic’ – the first release from Ibiza’s Driftwood / Captured main-man on Pure Trance – is a glorious 134bpm dose of highly polished Pure Trance music, where a relaxed tempo really allows space for its instrumentation to shine. Sam has kept the layers minimal – for maximal impact. Shimmering arpeggio, evocative lead, haunting vocal clips and some neat analog stabs are all intelligently arranged, resulting in a classy, sophisticated track & an admirable debut.
