The Latest from OHM Music

As evident and explained on this blog before, if you are a fan of trance music or somehow involved in the trance music scene, the rate at which new tracks become available is staggering.  However, the beauty of having an array of labels and sub-labels allow for intense discovery within trance. Not to take away from any labels producing trance, but OHM Music deserves to continue to be highlighted. 

The team at OHM Music seem to be aligning with owner Omair Mirza's vision for the label. Just recently released this month brought "Krypton" by Network X to the world of trance music. The track features uplifting vibes that align with Summer vibes due to its melodic layers and cryptic beats. Also recently released this month, "Tokyo Dreams" by Maglev showcase great talent along with other releases from the same artist. Available for your support on August 17th, "Not With The Times" by Gordey Tsukanov is a brilliant trance track with similar euphoric melodic layers and intense beats drops that should be marveled by trance fans for time to come.  Please support all of these tracks through your wallet and/or streaming at your earliest convenience. These artists along with the entire team at OHM Music deserve such support, and to continue to impress the entire trance world.

Track Review: "Into the Fire" by Arkham Knights

As the trance world embarks on the annual Coldharbour Recordings Day (July 30, 2018), it is time to review the latest track from Arkham Knights. These brothers have been featured and highlighted many times before on this blog, but as their career and recognition continues to rise throughout the trance scene, it is important to note that their talent keeps growing. Every track they have released has been better than the previous.

"Into the Fire" not only incorporates their signature sound of elements of techno with huge melodic layers that should keep not only those new to trance, but seasoned veterans hooked. Not to mention, but the beat drops that make it trance just add to the overall effect.  Assuming you have not read every post on this blog as well as those featuring Arkham Knights before, it should be noted their sound just aligns so well with the overall sound of Coldharbour as well as the vision from boss Markus Schulz. Please support the OFFICIAL release on August 3rd either by buying the track and/or streaming!

Compilation Review: 'In Search of Sunrise' 14 Mixed by Markus Schulz, Gabriel & Dresden, & Andy Moor

Back in the day, you know over 20 years ago, DJ Tiesto began mixing a compilation called 'In Search of Sunrise'. This compilation went on to not only define dance music for years to come, but to birth what is now known as trance music. Back then, there weren't these sub-genre distinctions, but rather a love for electronic music as a whole. This series of compilations also helped define Blackhole Recordings, which is now the umbrella that oversees a lot of labels in trance and beyond.

Despite its success, 'In Search of Sunrise' disappeared for many years with many wondering if it was ever going to return. Well, that question has been answered with the latest version release.  Markus Schulz, Gabriel & Dresden, & Andy Moor were approached to mix a delectable selection of latest and nostalgia within trance music.  With the Summer in full swing, it only made sense to bring back this beloved compilation.  It is highly recommended that on first listen, you listen all the way through to enhance your senses. You will immediately be transformed to an oasis, and feel as you were on a beach at sunrise. Whether you buy or stream, please thank all involved for bringing back such a great series!

Remix Review: "Ozone" by Giuseppe Ottaviani

It is no secret that this blog not only appreciates trance music, but remixes of trance music. Thus, when this remix of "Ozone" began to be tested in many sets by Markus Schulz in recent months, many began to wonder when it was going to be released.  Giuseppe Ottaviani has made a name for himself throughout the scene from his own productions to well received live DJ sets. From his label GO Music to his radio show/podcast GO On Air, it is safe to say that Mr. Ottaviani is a staple in the trance music scene.

Both Markus Schulz and Craig Connelly have created unique remixes of a familiar track, but the beauty is that both remixes make sure to maintain the melodic layers that signified the track in the first place. These two remixes have been released on Blackhole Recordings to remind you of the magnitude of that label.  Stream and/or download your copy today!
 

Song Review: "Lifeline" by Ben Wright

Despite what many readers and subscribers of this blog may think, different kinds of music genres are welcome. The mission of this blog as well as BB Media Industries, is to highlight the talented or those who may not be getting the recognition they deserve. Garnering relationships with record labels and artists through the passion from this blog has been rewarding.  The roster of artists and/or bands at Sound Hub Studios/Records have been finding impeccable talent from their home region of U.K.

Upon watching the video and listening to "Lifeline" by Ben Wright, it is apparent that this man deserves to be highlighted. The song is top quality from the first note to the ending note. The lyrics are not just thrown into match the musicianship, there was heart thrown in while creating this song. It is highly suggested you not only support this song release, but the entire album 'Lifeline'  if you like great folk/Indie Rock music.

 

Track Review: "Impulse" by Lee Cassells

As the artwork above might imply, the opportunity to act on an "impulse" can dictate future decisions going forward. This is true for the vibes that this track brings to the repertoire of OHM Music. Lee Cassells might not have been on your radar before this post, but his talent deserves your attention now. The trance scene is constantly growing while maintaining a relative "underground" feel in the realm of electronic music.

"Impulse" incorporates some unique sounds that not only resemble the overall sound of the label, but are keeping with the progressive trance vibe. Throw in some intriguing melodic layers, and you have a yourself a track fit to be added to your collection. Be sure to check out the progressive house mix by Bablak as well.  It is highly recommend you support this track on Beatport or any form when it is OFFICIALLY released July 6th!
