Joris Voorn ‘The Navigator’
A great, powerful peak time banging techno track that doesn’t mess about. Fantastic energy and whenever we play this out, everyones hands are in the air!! Joris is an absolute genius. We love his productions.
ARTBAT ‘Flame’
Our first release on our new Upperground label that came out in August. A real proud moment when this came out and the label was launched, super happy!
it’s a mixture of techno and trance, with unusual interesting moves and deep breakdown. The track is about love, feelings, therefore it’s called ‘Flame’. The name of the track carries the symbolism of fire that flares up inside of everyone with feelings of love, passion, carrying the meaning of explosive experiences. For us music and love are very close, and often the feelings that we want to convey in music are very close to love.
We played ‘Flame’ the very first time just before the pandemic started, that was in Thessaloniki at the birthday of Reworks, an incredible show to debut this emotional and big track. So it’s a very important track to us, and also very important moments it resembles.
Shall Ocin ‘Boreal’
‘Boreal’ is a very interesting and special track to us! An awesome melody and a powerful drop combine to make a real impact on any dancefloor! Shall Ocin is definitely someone to look out for. A real outstanding and talented producer of modern melodic techno / techno.
Faithless ‘Insomnia (Maceo Plex Epic Remix)’
An obviously iconic track, remixed by Maceo Plex to awesome effect! He returned these classic vocals to the modern dance floors and the result is of epic proportions. Sometimes it can be very tricky when remixing such a known track but Maceo Plex really delivered here.
ARTBAT ‘Horizon’
A deep, melodic techno track that makes you feel like you are on a short space travel hyper flight. Our second release on our new label and one we are again super proud of. A track we actually produced and played since 2019. Always a very exciting moment when the melody drops. The reaction is always very …….
