Top 4 New Releases - Selected by Dan Holden

[Dan Holden]

This is a topic for any trance lovers that enjoy following the modern scene.

This is my personal selection of the Top 4 new releases each week. I regularly DJ on Twitch with Trance Rush UK and also record monthly sets for radio. I keep track of the latest tunes and love to drop them in my sets. A lot of these tunes will feature in my monthly set.

Some of these may have been mentioned in the "Upcoming" forum, but if so this topic will remind you that they have been released.

I am not your target audience because I mostly listen to pre 2006 trance, but what made you compile your top four? I am not trying to belittle you, but I hear nothing likeable about Nebula.

Hi Arnoud

I select what I feel are the best new releases of the week. Nebula may not be a standout tune generally speaking, but for that particular week I feel it was one of the best of the bunch. When I select tunes I am looking for something catchy or notable. I enjoy uplifting trance and this has a nice melody.

Not a major tune I agree, but some weeks there isn't a lot of quality to go on despite there being about 200 new releases weekly.

Talla 2XLC & Torsten Stenzel - Red Light District
Code 2 & Jodie Poye - XTC
Bryan Kearney vs Karney - Hammer & Mallet
ReOrder - 1984

About my choices.. "Did You Hear Me?" is a massive classic that doesn't get played enough, and I love how Talla 2XLC is making these classics fresh for the modern scene. I'm a big fan of Code 2 DJs sound and enjoy a bit of high energy. Bryan Kearney brings his signature tech sound and it's catchy too! ReOrder produces great quality and I love uplifting trance. A nice melody that will surely feature in my upcoming sets.

That is because you can not look beyond your horizon and it will probably take you forever to crack the code to reach for the stars my friend.
