Who.Is is the new project from trance legend Bart Claessen and fellow Dutchman Raz Nitzan a prolific producer and former collaborator with 16 Bit Lolitas.
With a slight tech-edge to the intro, driving bass and an infectiously euphoric bleep melody, We.Are quickly sets the pace before a breakdown that harks back to the glory days of classic trance. Epic and unravelling, it builds layers of melody, synths and pads into a climatic build, drops into a suckerpunch tight, techie groove before the final sweep of epic melodic release.
Another track that borrows from the past but gives classic sounds a fresh future, 909+ is an unashamed homage to the Roland TR-909 drum machine a piece of hardware instrumental in the birth of all modern dance music and conjures waves of haunting, trippy trance bliss out of the vintage piece of kit. With echoes of classic Bonzai Records and LSG about it, 909+ is an innovative arrangement that builds and builds into an epic hypnotic headtrip.
