Tritonal vs. Super8 & Tab - Arc (Original Mix)

Tritonal and Super8 & Tab recently released a collaboration called "Arc." A fun, light progressive track with a slight touch of trance, "Arc" brings out the best of these two duos. This song even reminds me of a Mat Zo and Arty production, with its high-energy synths and lively melody. These two groups of producers really deserve a lot more recognition!

Porter Robinson & Mat Zo - Easy (Extended Mix)

The end of Trance Around the World was also the birth of Above & Beyond Group Therapy Radio. We're still finding amazing songs that were displayed on TATW #450/ ABGT #1 and Porter Robinson & Mat Zo's "Easy" is one of these songs. This collaboration proved to be amazing as Porter Robinson's amazing synths are coupled with Mat Zo's brilliant intricacies. Check it out!

Above & Beyond feat. Zoe Johnston - Alchemy (Above & Beyond Club Mix)

Two weeks ago, Above & Beyond gave all their trance fans a scare by renaming their weekly radio podcast from Trance Around The World to Above & Beyond Group Therapy Radio. They held TATW 450 live in Bangalore, India to celebrate this huge event, with great live sets from Norin & Rad and Mat Zo. This week, they are releasing a variety of mixes of one of their singles of the Group Therapy album, "Alchemy." The "Alchemy" club mix is just like any other Above & Beyond club mix, adding on a heavy bass line and strong riffs to the original emotive vibes. This track has been played in all their recent DJ sets, but here it is in its entirety! Completing the package are also a extended album mix and a radio edit.

It has been a while since our last S2L mix, but Cody is right back to mixing. Here is S2L Mix #13, which more focused on trance with highlights such as Jaco's "Malaysia" and Andrew Rayel's remix of Fady & Mina's "Kepler 22." Once again, we apologize for the lack of embed player on Mixcrate and we hope it will be developed soon. Anyways, here's the mix:

BT & Arty feat. Nadia Ali - Must Be The Love (Shogun Remix)

Shogun is back with his take on BT, Arty, and Nadia Ali's "Must Be The Love." This progressive track was already going to be one of the bigger tracks of this year; however, Shogun beautifully turns it into one his classic trance tunes. Hope you like it!

Raytheon - Caldera (Original Mix)

Wow. This song. This is real trance. Its ten minutes long, it has dark, pulsing tones, and it has a great build up. Raytheon hit a home run for trance fans in "Caldera." Just listen to it already.

Bobina & Betsie Larkin - No Substitute For You (Original Mix)

Lately I have really been enjoying songs with Betsie Larkin's vocals. A new collaboration between her and Bobina, "No Substitute For You," is a fantastic vocal trance tune. The song isn't too heavy and its a nice throw back to the "older" vocal trance sound. Enjoy!

W&W - Lift Off! [Teaser]

The Dutch duo, W&W, is back and this time they made a nice progressive trance song in "Lift Off!" Although W&W usually create electro-trance productions, they like to deviate quite a bit and its definitely evident in this track. "Lift Off!" has an interesting drop, mixing their usual trance synths with some drums similar, albeit softer, to the drop in Nari & Milani's "Atom." Hopefully "Lift Off!" will be released soon so we can enjoy it in its entirety!

The Killers - Runaways (Pierce Fulton Remix)

Pierce Fulton is another up and coming producer in the EDM scene. This week, his much anticipated remix of "Runaways," The Killers' first single off the new album Battle Born, was officially released. The young American beautifully combines the exhilarating vocals of Brandon Flowers with soft sounding synths that come after a smooth progressive house drop. Check it out!

Armin van Buuren & Deadmau5 - ID [Preview]

Two of the biggest names in EDM have been working on an "open" collaboration through twitter. Yes, if you haven't heard yet, it's deadmau5 and Armin van Buuren. For the last month, the two producers have been passing zippyshare files of drafts of the track back and forth through the internet and this week it was officially previewed on Armin's A State of Trance radio show. The project was instigated by deadmau5, but you can definitely hear the influence of both producers on this track. This tune really turned out to be a lot different from what I thought it would be and I'm sure the end product will be even more spectacular!
