Review: The history of 'Toca's Miracle' underscores how transformative the mashup era could be. By merging Coco Star's impassioned vocal from 'I Need a Miracle' with Fragma's 'Toca Me', a simple experiment became a phenomenon. This vinyl reissue foregrounds its dramatic tension: the interplay of shimmering synths and the vocal's raw emotional pull still feels electrifying. While the original captured a late-90s wave of clubbing euphoria, its carefully crafted layersian evocative bassline, cascading melody, and dynamic buildihave aged with grace. More than nostalgia, it's a reminder of dance music's power to reinvent itself and connect deeply with listeners.
Review: German label Terminal M's place in the techno world has long been established - it deals in fresh sounds for big rooms with hints of minimal. Mark Reeve now adds his work into the mix with this bold and inescapable two tracker. 'Golden' is a wave of techno with textural synth loops spraying about the mix like an untethered hose while chunky drums rattle the walls. 'All We Have' then gets even more extroverted and maximal with tortured synth stabs, big brain frying leads and more dark, all-consuming drums.
Review: Final Fantasy VII is one of the most influential computer games of all time. It came on the Playstation and also left a great mark on the electronic music scene with its legendary soundtrack. "As a DJ I vividly recall the euphoria it sparked on dancefloors with its complex yet catchy trance melodies" says Themas Schumacher who, inspired by the game, has penned this new 12". It is sure to ignite a frenzy of hands-in-the-air moments with a timeless rework of this classic. It comes infused with his signature techno drums and has already been road tested to great effect around Europe.
Review: The irresistibly catchy 'Oasis' by YOMC is a trance anthem that encapsulates the euphoric spirit of the late 90s scene. Released in 1997, YOMC, the German trance duo consisting of DJ Kai Franz and Lars Handler, crafted a timeless piece that resonated across dance floors globally back then, and will now it has been reissued. The track is defined by its uplifting melodies, driving beats, and ethereal atmosphere which mean that 'Oasis' became a staple in DJ sets and remains a nostalgic favourite among trance enthusiasts. It's a real tear jerker that very much chimes with what is going on in trance today.
