Paul van Dyk – Détournement
Album: In Between
Genre: Trance
Released: 2007
Rating: 4/5

This song I heard when the album first came out. I liked it but never listened to it again till now. It really caught my attention and I listened to it almost on repeat for a whole day. The classical part of the song just gets to me and I was thinking of using it as an intro for my Mercenaries videos. Enjoy!

Lucas & Beltram – Trust Me (Original Mix)
Album: N/A
Genre: Trance
Released: 2005
Rating: 4/5

This song I’ve been listening to since it was released, but it was part of a 2 hour mix. I only really noticed that I enjoyed it till now. Then I really just started listening to it on repeat. This is a song I could exercise or sleep to. This version here is a live rip of DJ Tiësto’s Essential Mix Live at Amnesia on 08-07-05. Nothing flashy with this track, but I like it.

TyDi & Dennis Sheperd feat. Marcie – Somehow (Sebastian Brandt Remix)

Rating: 4/5

Just another awesome vocal trance track. I love her voice, love the remix. Been listening to this the past week. Kinda makes me think of someone

Cosmic Gate feat. Tiff Lacey – Open Your Heart
Album: Sign of the Times
Genre: Trance
Released: 2009

This song isn’t flashy or even original, it’s just basic vocal trance… but that’s what makes it so great. Tiff Lacey is among the all time best trance female vocalists. Cosmic Gate has also been consistent in their productions throughout the years. I just enjoy the vocals and melody on this track. Enjoy

OceanLab – On A Good Day (Above & Beyond Radio Edit)
Album: Sirens of the Sea (Original Mix is featured)
Genre: Trance
Released: 2008
Rating: 5/5
Lyrics (Coming Soon)

This song… a hidden gem really. I downloaded this expecting it would be nothing, but wow. This song is very uplifting. Justine Suissa is the vocalist. I like the background piano during the chorus. I listen to this track on repeat this past week. I was very excited to post this track!

“It feels like me… on a good day.”

Super8 & Tab feat. Alyna – Delusion (Original Mix)
Album: N/A
Genre: Trance
Released: 2008
Rating: 5/5

I just found this song this past week but it was released at the end of 2008. I haven’t been listening to Armin’s radio show for the past year, so that’s why I probably missed it. This is basic trance, simple but beautiful. I love the small vocal part as well. Super8 & Tab are great producers.

“This is my delusion…”

Talla 2XLC feat. Naama Hillman – No Inbetween (Original)
Album: N/A
Genre: Trance
Released: 2007
Rating: 5/5
Lyrics (Coming Soon)

This song is very unique and to me is very emotional. The slow vocal breakdown is just very beautiful, her tone is something I’ve never heard. No vocalist I’ve heard has ever sung like that. I could listen to that part on repeat for days. I listened to this a bit back when it first came out and just recently got hooked on it again. I love her voice. Just another reason why trance music is underrated.

“So will you follow me, wherever I may go? or will you let me sleep away into unknown…”

Artist: Cass & Slide (feat. Naimee Coleman) – Perception (New Vocal Mix)
Album: N/A (featured on In Search of Sunrise 2)
Genre: Trance
Released: 2000
Rating:5/5
Lyrics (coming soon)

Wow. I’ve been listening to this track ever since 12th grade. It was featured on Tiesto’s In Search of Sunrise 2 compilation. I can remember listening to this walking to school. It’s such an eerie, chill and haunting piece of music. The vocals are great. I found a new love with this song this year. I’ve always really liked it and it has remained great through the years. Trance producers really don’t make tracks like this these days.

“You can see forever”

Algarve – The Longest Journey (Alex M.O.R.P.H. Remix)
Album: N/A
Genre: Trance
Released: 2007
Rating: 5/5

One of the most powerful trance songs you’ll ever hear. The original is great but this remix is a bit newer and takes the song to another level. I’m addicted to this track now. This is the definition of “uplifting trance.”

Ohmna – The Sun’ll Shine (Sunrise Mix)
Album: N/A (but featured on DJ Tiesto’s In Search of Sunrise 6)
Genre: Trance
Released: 2007
Rating: 4/5

I used to like this track a bit back when it came out, but I only really enjoyed the last half of the song. I’ve been doing a lot of edits for my iPod and this was on of them. Here’s the best part of the song, it’s very addicting and exciting.
