So excited that I sat up abruptly in bed to look for my headphone to listen to them.

By the way, is there any problem with the naming format of the B2 track on the cover? I think it should be B2 Brandt Hoff Aurora Pulse (Julian Del Agranda Remix) @Hensmon

Got goosebumps hearing these tracks for the first time (and together) on this ep. Proud to be part of it! A really soulful trance release - very rare to find! Aerium's track Aguile has some sublime percs and bass. Love Stella Nova' Oribital and the Julian remix of Aurora Pulse - gorgeous production and really beautiful and subtle melodies.

Ha, you managed ‘before December’! Well done.

Every release has a “Hensmon”, we have concluded this before. We cannot expect him to do a (and this proves to be an appropriate title again) “Flawless” job!

I’m happy this one is out, I’ve made that remix quite a while ago. I already wanted to work on Aurora Pulse before it got out as a TF:R release. Main melody is just lovely. Suits the Julian-style really well I think.

Well done everyone, and indeed, I was liking the mastering as well :)

I’m actually fine with it being just Aerium really. It is the more known alias so might help with the exposure.

also: can I get a big round of applause for zippyshare label master(er) per-excellence @Narel For a stellar job.
Not bad for a guy who’s not released on Vandit (or Avena records) eh? 🤣😂🖕🏻
Quality tunes here, and pleasure to master. I know I probably shouldn’t choose, but the Aerium track is my fav. Love the midrange piano/pad, random acid and other wobbly shit 🤙🏻

Aguile has a nice intro but why do the percussion sound so digital? Or is it bandcamp?

I like to create lore for releases so that future forum nerds have something to discuss in a thread 20 years from now.

this is deliberate, Julian's name is too long already and I didn't like how it looked so long compared to the others when adding extra words. Artistic liberties! I knew you would call that out though :LOL:

Maybe you can try adding another line in the artist, it won't look so strange as it's the last track. (as I think Brandt should also require to be mentioned)

There's something nice about all of them, but I have to say Orbital sounds wonderful. It really reminds me of a Super 8 and tab track, or something similar from back in the day. Was that an influence @stellanova? Either way, it's beautiful, I love it. The breakdown in The Sky Knows is that same kind of dreamy anjuna fit too, I kind of wish all those vocals carried on into the climax and other parts of the track, they are super nice.
