Already gathering heat in the club circuit, this rework of Lightforces classic Join Me has Bryan Kearneys signature quality written all over it. Fusing UK garage textures with the timeless trance sound, this update is primed to bowl over crowds on dance floors worldwide.

Really makes you wonder who these tracks are made for. Can't imagine it will please Kearney fans, traditional trance-heads or a more mainstream audience.

A lesson…. a masterclass even, in how to make a thoroughly unneeded remix; incorporating sounds that do not work together, and never would even by a good producer. What’s this twat up to now? Trance garage? Where would this ever work?
If not already obvious, the original is an old fav.

I'd normally be pretty skeptical on yet another Armada released remix of a classic (I love the original as well)

But I actually like the fact that he's put a ton of swing into the groove. There's not a lot of that in trance and It's something I've done myself on a couple of tunes I have in the works, so I actually quite enjoyed this.

Heard this live at Rong in Manchester at the weekend where Bryan himself played it. It went off and I think the crowd enjoyed it too. I think it's a cool take. Interestingly I had went to see Dave Pearce's set earlier and he played the Original, so it was cool to hear both versions of the tune live :)
Trance garage? Where would this ever work?
Station to Station - The Drums on Anjunabeats this year also has a bit of a Garagey feel to it in parts and I think it worked quite well :)

You should check out the modern festivals. Lots of revivals of classics in a more clubtrance / soeedgarage style. This will work over there.
