We need a new scene?
Robert is one of our most consistent and best-selling artists on Pure Trance, so of course we welcome a new production from him with open arms. According to the man himself the track was inspired by the theme song from Paul Hogan’s 1986 movie Crocodile Dundee… We’re not sure how tongue-in-cheek that bit of trivia is but feel free to make up your own mind, presuming you’re old enough to remember it. Musically, Rob notches down the tempo a little compared to his earlier works – being sharp enough to note a subtle scene-wide shift in lower BPMs that seems to be happening at the time of writing – a shift that we welcome here at PT HQ. Slightly lower tempos allow grooves to be a little more relaxed, to create more of a mood and atmosphere. Built around a deceptively simple melody, this little beauty bears all of the traditional hallmarks that the trance world love Nickson for.
Gosh, you are so right about this. So much stuff past around 2012 imo just got sterile sounding. There's quite a lot of stuff I come across that musically is solid, but the mix/master ruins it. Stuff in the mid 00's was already fully digital, so why does so much now just sound lifeless?It's the same old story with modern productions over and over again. There are PLENTY of tracks I don't like from the old period of Trance, but I never complained about the sound or production elements of them almost ever, yet now its how I feel about 90% of tracks. What gives?
Lound masters produced for streamers have killed it i reckonCame across this recently on beatport and I kinda like it. Sounds very Solar Fields - Catalyst inspired to me. Specifically Rezoning District @ 12:40
