Trance.nu review

Finity Recordings is an electronic dance label founded in May 2005, featuring cutting edge trance and progressive. Finity focuses on looking for fresh trance & dance music, and the label mainly aims to help the up and coming Finnish trance talents to pave their way into the international dance music market. One of Finity's most recent releases is a98's "Solar Wind / Binary Star EP".

a98 (Anssi Hohti, or better known as Allende) is a trance and progressive producer from Finland. He's probably most well-known for his remix of Snow Patrol "Open Your Eyes", which has seen an unofficial white label release. Other than that, he has had various releases and remixes on labels such as Deepblue, Subtraxx and Alter Ego.

Solar Wind

The first track off the Solar Wind / Binary Star EP is Solar Wind. Starting off with a solid perc line, the track slowly builds with the addition of FX, a driving bassline, and massive synth pads. The breakdown finally makes an appearance at the 4 minute mark. It hastily introduces a rather smooth and catchy lead pattern, definitely the stand-out feature in this track. A superb chord progression outlined by the bassline and those huge pads compliment the captivating lead. A very accessible and uplifting tune, enjoyable to say the least. Uplifting and melodic fans should be very satisfied with this one.

Binary Star

Binary Star is a bit edgier than its predecessor. Starting off with a crisp perc line, it wastes no time in pulling itself together. The bassline is very driving and is soon followed by a storming acid riff. Melodic hooks and sweeping pads come into play before the breakdown commenses. The lead is rather nice once again, featuring a synthy pluck sequence. The breakdown ends quickly, making room for the rather melodic chorus, consisting of pads, FX, and the lead. Overall a well written production.

Conclusion

Both tracks are more or less solid uplifting tracks and are in my opinion equally as strong. Perhaps not too innovative, but they're certainly enjoyable and will definitely appeal to those inclined towards uplifting, synthy trance. 3.5/5
