After weeks of waiting, a buzzed-about ASOT 600 Den Bosch ID has finally been revealed. Debuted in The Netherlands by way of Germany, “Bang!” marks the first collaboration between trance’s Alex M.O.R.P.H and progressive’s Jerome Isma-Ae, and the results are explosive. Leaving trance behind but keeping the flow with a build-heavy sound that breaks into Jerome’s bouncing tech drumline, the collab plays to both producers’ strengths and begs a second listen. While the preview gives just a taste of the teamwork, the full track will be released June 3rd on Armind Recordings.
For trance fans, the choice for New Year’s Eve in New York was clear. Newly re-crowned number one DJ in the world Armin van Buuren was joined by Jerome Isma-ae and Jochen Miller at Pier 36 for a high-energy, nonstop party to ring in 2013. We arrived just in time to catch the last 20 minutes of Jerome’s set, but the change in mood as Armin took over the decks right around 11pm was palpable. He eased the crowd into his four hour set with familiar tracks like his collaboration “I’ll Listen” with Ana Criado, the Omnia Remix of Cosmic Gate‘s “Calm Down,” and catchy tracks from pals like Dash Berlin and Andrew Rayel.

In honor of finishing up his year long Four Seasons live tour, dance music legend Paul Oakenfold has released a four disc compilation album aptly entitled Four Seasons on Armada Music. The concept is simple but universal; he’s designed four distinct mixes for each season of the year. No matter where you are at a given time, if you’re a trance lover, Oakenfold’s got something for you. Much like his many, many Essential Mixes, he incorporates an impressive range of sounds from every corner of the world to bring you along on an aural journey. We’ve listened through the compilation several times and picked out some favorites for you if you’d like to sample before you dive in all the way.
