Why not? He's rich, he's a DJ, have ideas for tracks but cant produce - why not to collaborate with actual producer to make tracks? Whats wrong with that? I found some of the BiXX tracks better than 90% of other released uplifting. Even better then Porters own tracksDo the right thing...dont use a ghost producer.

I've noticed this before with certain tracks, especially BiXX/Darren Porter and those of that ilk.
Whoever is mixing/mastering these needs to call it a day, because that is frankly shocking.
Absolutely slammed through a compressor/limiter. Who needs dynamics or fidelity when we can turn everything above 1.7khz into fucking white noise.
Yay loudness war!

It would be interesting to see how much he pays Porter,cos that Bixx looks rich anyway,he has a mansion!
I know.. Normal fee is 1000 euros for this kind of production by good producer.It would be interesting to see how much he pays Porter,cos that Bixx looks rich anyway,he has a mansion!

It depends what ethics and morales you have as a person...i started from scratch with a blank screen in Logic,and made everything myself. So i take a dim view of guys like this. Hes the Roman Abramovic of Trance. 
I wonder who is the actual ghost for Bixx. It's not Porter anymore. He went on one year break and these guys like Talla and Bixx were still releasing tracks but the sound changed slightly. I think it's James Dymond ghosting them at the moment.
And about the track? Its okay-ish, definitely heard better, for example Bixx - After Dark lately.
5,5/10

Agreed the epic melody got ruined by white noise here !!I've noticed this before with certain tracks, especially BiXX/Darren Porter and those of that ilk.

Dont know about this track, if its not Porter, might be Yoshi&Razner. Usually you can check writers (meaning producer) in Spotify, but in this track it only says BiXX. I can ask him if you want to know
Yeah might be Yoshi and Razner as well, if its not offensive to him, you can ask, I would like to know

I listened to the track - and its just your average,generic,acid filled sledgehammer nonsense....this guy has no identity.
Which leads me to a point - i see more and more 'established' producer offering tutorial services,with ghost producer 'services' for who people 'who dont have time'.....LOL...surely this will just make the scene filled with more and more character-less and generic tracks like this one. Where anyone of 20 producers couldve made.

This isn't even music. It's just template copy and paste stuff. That's not definition of music. This is just a commercial product.
People like this, which is 90% of today's scene, are trying to sell this to people people who don't know what trance is. Trying to make as much money with as little effort as possible. It's hijacking the word 'trance' to appear cool to those who don't know what trance is. Their customers are mainly kids, probably in places like Eastern Europe, Middle East, Asia, etc.

It appears that just the samples, vsts, and melodies have been adjusted from Porter's original "Yes I Can" template. He can't get the mixdown right after doing so.

Do the right thing...If you're rich then why only hire one ghost producer and have a fake signature sound? might as well go nutz and splash out and get yourself even better bangers.

Lmao potter mixdowns never sounded right to me. It's just bland of white noise and compressed soundscapes. A perfect recipe for tinnitus i think that's why tyas sort of ditched him. Collabs sound good for a reason because it was probably mostly tyas featuring Porter sledgehammer mixdown.It appears that just the samples, vsts, and melodies have been adjusted from Porter's original "Yes I Can" template.
