Polished progressive trance defined by massive synth swells and high-profile vocal collaborations. A cinematic journey through peak-time club energy and melodic pop.
September 1, 2008 · Vandit Records
In Between (and its Hands On counterpart) represents a pivotal moment where the stadium-filling energy of trance met the sophisticated sensibilities of global pop. It sounds like the peak of a high-end club system: every synth lead is polished to a mirror finish, and every kick drum is tuned to resonate in the chest. Unlike the darker, more industrial leanings of some of his peers, this record is bathed in a hopeful, almost cinematic light. It captures that specific feeling of being in the middle of a massive crowd but experiencing a deeply personal, melodic epiphany.
