Thanks for posting it here! First of all, every single track here is fresh and exclusive. 10 brand new tracks from Slam Duck plus our collaboration with him on disc 2 has been stem mastered and polished to the absolute maximum with the sound engineer.

Unfortunately, Dmitry Esthetique has died at the age of 34, just 2 weeks after I talked to him and he signed Reborn for this release. He was so happy that I helped him to sign a track on his bucket list label. This one is dedicated to him in particular.

Will definitely be giving this a chance!

Sad to hear about Esthetique though.

Tracklist looks cool! Have not heard from Clameres and Abramasi in a long while! (I'm assuming it's the same Abramasi who did loads of tracks with Urry Fefelove back in the day?). Avenue One always deliver as well! :)

Sad news about Esthetique though :(

My Matahari remix was on Pure Prog’, so second appearance on the label. I made this tune at Alex’s request for this compilation and thankfully he liked it and included it. Third CD release for me, which is nuts. Never ever EVER thought I’d get onto physical release when I first started signing stuff. Pretty bloody stoked to be considered worthy of inclusion on this : )

It's going to be quite an interesting compilation :) From CD 2 I liked Flares by Gundamea the most, for which I'm waiting for the single to be released :)

I liked this compilation especially the solo work of Slum Duck, it's much better than last year's release of pure progressive by Forerunners. Sad news about Dima Esthetique. RIP

Had a listen to CD2 today. I enjoyed it, especially the second half of the disc. Fav track is probably Kay-D — Lambda Code 11 actually! But the Avenue One, Abramasi, Gundamea & Vasily Dvortsov tracks are also really good! (The bass in the latter at 1:33 reminds me of the bass of Alex Sonata & TheRio - The Rising, sound kinda similar hehe).

Hoping all the tracks will get single extended mixes too :)

Some really good tracks here. "Allure", "Rountree", "Baikal", "Lambda Code" are my favs atm. I must say that these are automatically some of my favorites for the entire year. I am thrilled to discover what more they could offer with extended mixes.

The CD2 is such a brilliant mix!!! Fantastic stuff!!!!! I miss so much such quality trance & progressive style. The music sounds so fresh but it took me back to good times when I was having great journey with compilations. Very smooth mix, I like the flaw! Some of the tracks could be part of oldschool ISOS!

If Armin was having this CD2 as his CD1 Beach Mix, everyone would praise him and crying from emotions on social media lol.

I need to give more time and listens to the artist album CD1. I have been having some tracks of CD2 on repeat all day after I finished all of it. It may be a classic comp mix for me, time will tell. Now waiting for Activa's too. These two comp will be for sure they highlights of the year. Anjunadeep did a very good job as well this year for its style.

Congrats @Narel @Enlusion, great tracks guys!! They help a lot the mix. (not sure if we have more of producers here being active)

Supported, CD ordered proudly. ^^

Note: I had no idea who Slam Duck is lol. Congrats!!!
