When it first premiered on A State of Trance earlier this spring, it was apparent “Hands” would be a huge crossover success. Two months later and well into the summer festival season, this collaboration between Gareth Emery and fellow producer Alastor continues to have emotional impact on listeners from a wide range of musical backgrounds. Uplifting trance melodies gain size and mass when executed using soaring synths, while climatic builds and break-downs provide the perfect structure for a peak hours anthem. Factor in piercing vocals by London Thor and you have a big room ballad that covers all the bases, from creative expression to technical execution. The full length, club version of “Hands” is currently available as an exclusive download with the purchase of a ticket for Gareth Emery’s Electric for Life Tour, taking place this November and December in New York City, Los Angeles, and London.
