Above & Beyond feat. Richard Bedford – Heart Of Stone
Genre: Progressive Trance
And one day, it finally came out. And that day is today. Last week, we discussed the announcement Trance virtuosos Above & Beyond made on socials, that their long-awaited ‘Heart Of Stone‘ vocal piece was about to see an official release. Today, that’s due. And So we’re finally able to stream, stream and restream their first collaboration with Richard Bedford since *checks notes* ‘Bittersweet & Blue’ (!).
The vocal track, which features the iconic male voice of Trance — and arguably the most memorable pairing of Above & Beyond — is the next chapter of uncountable ventures of the four artists coming together. He’s the unmistakable voice behind countless A&B anthems such as ‘Sun & Moon’, ‘Thing Called Love’, and ‘Alone Tonight’.
Armin van Buuren & Hardwell – Follow The Light
Genre: Trance, Big Room Techno
Peak Dance music right here. And also top-notch collaborators. We’re talking about the conjoint effort of two masters at work, the legendary Trance act Armin van Buuren, and a man who flipped the entire scene on its head in 2013, Hardwell. Two undoubtedly iconic figures of the EDM sphere, they had an ID cooking for a while, and today it finally came out.
After nearly a decade, Armin and Robbert have joined forces once again for the highly anticipated ‘Follow The Light‘. The duo’s collaboration blends Armin’s signature euphoric Trance melodies with Hardwell’s cutting-edge Big Room Techno, creating a powerful festival anthem. The track has already become a staple in both artists’ sets throughout 2024, and it could become one of the most-played records this season, now that it’s finally out.
Alok & Jazzy – The Heat
Genre: House
As the summer festival season comes to an end, ‘The Heat’ is a standout track with its vibrant, high-energy beats, offering the perfect sound for the dance floor this fall. A blend of modern Electronic elements and classic Dance vibes showcases Alok’s signature style. The polished production of ‘The Heat’ makes it an irresistible anthem for clubs.
Jazzy’s dynamic vocals infuse the track with infectious energy, seamlessly complementing Alok’s driving Electronic beats. Notably, ‘The Heat’ features the iconic ‘Mixmasters’ In the Mix’ sample, adding a nostalgic touch and creating a bridge between old-school and contemporary dance music. It’s a unique and familiar standout track that captivates listeners.
Andrew Bayer & Oliver Smith – 4U
Genre: Progressive Trance, Trance
Anjunabeats stalwarts Andrew Bayer and Oliver Smith teamed up for their third collaborative single titled ‘4U’. They’ve released on the label for over a decade. What’s more, they became closer friends as both producers developed into mainstays in the Trance and Progressive House scene. Now, the duo reunite on their new single together as we see its release on the imprint that saw them grow so much.
‘4U’ combines both artists’ love for the UK Bass scene of the ‘90s and ‘00s. Fans state it brings a ‘Ghost Voices’ vibe to the track, bringing their signature Trance and Progressive styles to a modern era. Though it is not the original Anjunabeats sound, it could be something for the new wave.
