Too bad they have a bit too much wonk/snare-climaxes but apart of that the atmosphere/melodies kinda hits the right way. It sounds like atb+safri duo/german millenium club trance with a retro-modern wonky twist...

I listen to them daily and have them in many playlists already. Great tracks, both of them, oldschool with fresh air, great mastering. From the build up (Extended mix) to the end they are brilliant. 🙌

Daysleeper comment must be super positive for him 😁

More people should give them a chance.

Liking both! Te Adoro gives Safri Duo vibes but as a track I think Dreaming is the better of the two :)

Te Adoro for me, less of the harsh lead riffs. Aside from that, very promising!

Dreaming is quite pathetic wannabe ATB track (3/10), but Te Adoro (6/10) is quite nice although it wiould be better without Safri Duo wannabe parts

Unfairly strict imo. Nothing wrong by being inspired by oldshcool legends or using familiar oldschool sounds, when done right like above. Surely one of my favorite tracks of this summer.

It was something like this (Dreaming) which I heard on a cassette at a very young age which first registered the seed in my head, instant passion and love for trance music, that's before I even discovered what music was other then Bollywood/Hollywood films, had no idea what the word genre even meant etc it was just songs to me other then Jazz music I knew that was a different territory completely, then I heard Darude - Sandstorm in Pizza hut few years later in Pakistan like 2002 or 2003 then saved the melody in my head then finally rediscovered it when moved to UK like Atb, special d etc, but I didn't discover proper trance (aka classic/mainstream trance ) until I discovered Pvd - Crush/ Nothing but you, For an angel, VDM - Fly away (Cosmic gate remix / Sean Tyas remix) & Children (Sean Tyas & Tatana Remix), Through your eyes (Stoneface & terminal remix then eventually got their album) collected many cds like this. The point is this sounds 98% there. Classic re created successful story lots of good bits with some cheesy vibes like 9pm. Also love the first track thats more of a proper trance but not as catchy. Should have released as single considering todays advertisement/algorithms etc.
