Every fan who knows their trance history is aware of Paul Moelands aka Octagen – Re:Locate with an extensive discography that goes back to 2003 on labels like Black Hole, Galactive & Fundamental. Less instantly familiar is Simon Anthony (Amsterdam Trance, Molekular Sounds) but together they are a formidable team.
The 138bpm ‘Storm Clouds’ has hints of the early noughties to it with its Chicane-esque plucks, offbeat bass line, gated claps and Balearic vibes – and these are all great, but even greater is the simple but effective melody unveiled at the break – this is pure & positive trance music that will put smiles all over the dancefloor.
