    Cape Town - Challenger [2012]

    The last release by the great pairing of Airwave and Ferry Tayle for more than a decade, and IMO one of the best uplifting tracks of the 2010s. This was the last gasp of Airwave's "proglifting" style that he pioneered throughout the 00s, before he went all-in on the cinematic prog style of his...

    Solarstone - Touchstone [2010]

    The first Solarstone track I heard - I googled "what is the best trance artist" when I was first discovering the genre in high school, saw his name come up, and found this track one night. Despite him personally telling me that he considers this album a "low point" in his career, years later...

    Hidden Sound System - I Know [1999]

    One of the best things Benno de Goeij has ever made. Pure trance melancholy. Featured on Tiësto's Magik 3: Far from Earth mix compilation, and the vocal sample comes from Chris Raven's "I Know You Love Me Too".

    Forerunners - Futura / Ronin [2010]

    The last uplifting EP made by Brendan LaBonte before his five year hiatus and return as a progressive producer. It's a shame he never returned to this sound; he had a really unique thing going on that stood apart from the template crowd of the time. Futura is a nice little number that's both...

    Ferry Tayle & Static Blue - L'Acrobat - (Mixes. Inclu Andy Blueman Remix) [2009]

    The Andy Blueman remix is outstanding very jump for joy euphoric and very cheerful and playful track. Then the breakdown comes in and it becomes a melancholic piece which is interesting to hear and then the climax and the drop comes in and it becomes a cheerful track once again and ends on a...

    Cold Blue & Julie Scott - Mad Hatter [Cold Blue Records]

    This sounds pretty good.

    Sean Tyas & Giuseppe Ottaviani - Arcobaleno [2012]

    When these two work at writing a great melody, holy SHIT can they pull it off! There was a more 2.0 style original mix, but it's not even worth mentioning IMO. This came out the summer I graduated, so it's pretty nostalgic for me ☺️

    Baltic Sound - Glimmer [2007]

    One of the greater progressive tracks of the 00s, and almost completely unknown. I think I stumbled across it on the old forum once. Apparently the distributors messed up the titles of the remixes during the release, but Ilya Malyuev himself confirmed this is the original in a comment on the...

    Lisaya - Love Of Yesterday (Extended Mix) [Ablazing Records]

    First release at Rene Ablaze's label Ablazing Records for the Dutch producer Lisaya with a beautiful vocal track:

    Tarkan - Pare Pare (Tiësto Mix) [2008]

    I originally found this in a pirated compilation of ALL of Tiësto's remixes (of which I ended up saving about sixty of them). It's a textbook perfect Tiësto track - propulsive, melancholic, uplifting and which isn't afraid to draw itself out with three different climaxes. So I naturally thought...

    Classic Uplifting Trance

    Dear Friends A few years ago I created this track in uplifting classic trance style. I started listening to it again and I started to like it a lot. It's not at FSOE quality, but at that moment I tried to give my best. I hope you enjoy it! Best regards, Brandt Hoff

    Magnus - Lighthouse (Artist Album) [TBA]

    Magnus is coming back! After a long break from music, I am happy to announce my return with a new artist album titled "Magnus – Lighthouse." Ahead of the album's release in early 2024, here’s a preview of the title track, "Lighthouse." I have been frequently asked about this track since first...

    Ordinary People (The Lords & Ladies of Shamballa) - Mahatma [1996]

    In the mid-late nineties, Marc Mitchell was ON FIRE. He made numerous incredible examples of the "trance epic" - long playing tracks with clear evolving movements - under names like Sunday Club and Human Movement. This one-off is probably his most obscure (the label only existed for this one...

    DuMonde - Never Look Back [2001]

    "Hard trance" at its BEST. I'm curious to ask any German-speakers what the phrase is that the vocalist whispers throughout the track (and then sings over the chorus). Never been able to find that in the official lyrics online, and it doesn't seem to be a German translation of the English...

    Altair - Wild and Free [2019]

    This is a track that I once posted on the old forum, so I thought I'd repost it here too. Was something originally inspired by a pirated Kesha vocal stem (from which I synthesized the pad sounds), and which I sat on for about three years before I buckled down and finished it. At one point an old...

    Global Warming - Surrender [2007]

    A little-known cut from 2007, but one that goes very hard IMO. I first encountered this in high school (late 2009-early 2010) on a long-since defunct YouTube channel that posted obscure trance with space art. Many years later I made my own album art for it (using an artwork I found on...

    Will Rees ft. Tara Greene - Spiralling [Subculture]

    It's been 10 years since I've discovered Will Rees in 2013, and he still is on fire. I rarely enjoy any vocal trance these days, but this one is pretty epic. As always, his melodies are out of this world \o/ Will Rees ft. Tara Greene - Spiralling (starting from 38:07) + slowed down version...

    OUT PROJECT DINO - Music from Where We Go To (Artist Album)

    I've just encountered this album from a new name for me - Dino Biedermann aka Project Dino. Mr. Ricky aka The Digital Blonde sent it to me and said "It's not me", lol. The first track in this album definitely reminds me of him, it's really amazing. Other tracks from the album are not too...

    Lisaya - Aftermath [Lisaya Music]

    After several recent chill out releases under his Roan Portman alias together with the spoken word musician Shane Beck (poet), Dutch producer Lisaya now released a new uplifting trance track. As he's also 3D artist making videos with Unreal he now made a video using AI, more details in the...
