John O'Callaghan - Pebble Beach [Subculture]

[skyriderz]

John O'Callaghan's first release of 2024 comes in the form of an elegant yet powerful trance record. Pebble Beach combines the organic beauty of natural elements with a peak time melody, which builds up into a tried-and-tested club jewel. Showcasing JOC's trademark punchy bass with crisp plucks, Pebble Beach is the first chapter of many diverse releases coming in 2024 from the Irish trance stalwart.

I'd like to listen to a longer sampler but I'm not overly impressed with that, even if it's a nice track altogether

Pretty boring. We all know John can do better. Won't be waiting for this one

 

[nightslapper]

finally something with the melodies that actually work for me, to me it's his best solo track in a looooog time

 

[Dan Holden]

Quality from John O'Callaghan! Not sure what is not to like about that. Combined with other big tunes in a quality set.. this will go very well. Solid!

Holly smokes John has finally nailed it after experimenting stuff under key4050. This track has some that quirkiness of Exactly. Instant goosebump during the break. TOTY!!

Interesting you say "finally nailed it".

This tune from a few years back is probably my favourite of his in recent times. Absolutely incredible and on another level altogether. He's been at that 'finally nailed it' stage for some time.

I'd like to mention the collab with Cold blue as an honorable mention from recent times kinda Symmetric (will update this list soon with more honorable mentions / couple more 'nailed it' tracks of recent times from Joc).

 

[Dan Holden]

Yes, he's done several big tunes for me. Blaithin comes to mind because it is so beautiful and outstanding, but you're right there are others.

Cold Blue is something else. Especially over the past 12 months or so.. brilliant producer.

 

[Exodom]

Liking it more and more since hearing it

Agreed, also Craig Connelly - How can I (John O'Callaghan Remix) was a massive vocal anthem.

 

[Freezer]

I prefered Riverside and Flow Through (9/10 for both), this one is fine, but not bombastic
7/10

This one is weak. I would say Flow Through was his best lately.

Track structure just reminded me of Ben Gold - Nostalgia
