Yeah, back to the 00's, with its more easy and straight-forward music. On & On sounds kinda Scooter-ish - but in quite a good way, it is just a nice cheesy euro track - maybe it could be a bit slower, 150 bpm is too much. For Ultima I would prefer more "curly" melody than this simple riff.
It's more about those other two names I think, not the greatest melodic hard trance, but not the worst either. Definitelly not on the level of Renegade System or Scot Project.
It is nice, that he has kind of his own signature sound! However at least one track with more melodic drop would be appreciated (C3 had a bit of a potential for that, so maybe in C4? :D). That said, I like Renegade System's hard trance more than this "techy" one, for example.
It is more like something as Photographer Remix of Castles In The Sky, yes, vocals are simple, easy-going and poppy-ish (and yes, Ellie has a vocal similar to Natalia's from Cascada), but instrumentally it is in general more close to some typical uplifting/138/steroid trance than to german...
Kinda trying to take some inspiration from that dark lead in Lost Tribe - Gamemaster / Quench - Dreams (probably still remembering that cool Nicholson's Remix) / Art Of Trance - Blue Owl, combining with current sound, so it is not as bad for me as some of the feedback here, definitely not an...
Pretty unexpected, if this is really Hardwell (but probably it is some ghost producer anyway). Loving that kinda Rank 1-ish breakdown. The rest is sort of generic, but still cool to have an energetic uplifting remix of this pop tune!
Pure "ultra-energetic" Rob Mayth sound in this one from 2020
I think all these more cheesy and kinda "hard" (sub)genres (euro-trance, handz-up, happy hardcore, possibly hard trance too), that were popular in early 00s, are on the rise again
A bit too much of recognisible Joyenergizer sound in the main part, because of that the track loses a bit of its credit for me, however I get that this probably is rather a kinda cheeky dancefloor tool than a 100% serious track... Loving that Cosmic Gate pumping euro bassline nonetheless!
Oh, thank you, Bully.
Anyway, the original Anticipation for the win. The remix is just very lazy, and if you want a more pumped version of Anticipation, you can just choose RAMsterdam instead of this remix.
