Post some of your favourite takeoffs of the modern era!

We often talk about breakdowns and climaxes but the takeoff is the crucial link between the two. A sloppy one can deflate the listener and break the flow of the track, whereas a well crafted can take the listener to much greater heights.

Temple One - Ocean Paradise [2018]

The way the lead opens up and closes is magical, and each backing synth that is introduced injects another layer of richness to the sound. One of the most euphoric builds i've listened to in a very long time!



Cold Blue - Mount Everest [2009]

The breakdown starts off quietly with a single pluck, but builds layer by layer into an unstoppable wave.

Let's get this one out of the way first... Simply no better track than this, in every aspect - including the takeoff.

Eco - Under Paper Skies

Same thing here. The emotion it carries is incredible.

DJ Eco & Martin Roth - Tonight Is Forever (Martin Roth Edit)

Ocean Paradise would be high up on my list.

This one from Dmitry Bessonov i always loved, i find it very original and unique, i cant really think of a single track that sounds like this one.
