I've been wanting to do a follow up to my first melodic mix for a while and had to name it after something I've been preaching for quite some time: Melodic IS the New Trance. This moving and emotional style of music is full of incredible new soundscapes and rhythms that, to me, are extremely reminiscent of the late 90s rise in popularity of progressive house and trance due to masters and heroes like Sasha + John Digweed, Nick Warren and Paul Oakenfold. This mix starts on darker side of this genre and those that stick around will be rewarded with my signature bangers in many other genres. This represents 18 of what I consider to be the best tracks of the last year. Please enjoy LOUD and I hope this gets you through the cold and dark nights of winter.
