Jan Johnston
"Calling Your Name"

As our first release on our brand new label we are going for something old (and classic) and something new (and bang-on point). One of the most famous melodies in trance began as a vocal on a b-side of Jan Johnston's first solo single. In 1995 it found its way to BT, who first sampled it and then asked Jan to re-sing it for his Taylor project. It was initial released in the US and then on Platipus in the UK. Remixed and re-released several times in its lif. Jan re-recorded the track in 2003 and 15 years later we are pleased to have the vocal classic as our debut track.
First up is one of the 'men of the moment' on the progressive trance scene. Germany's Gai Barone introduces his trademark muscular grooves and swirling arpeggios, all finely intertwined with Jan's vocals. We crank things up and set dials for big-room-trance as UK based Peter Steele delivers his uptempo peak time grooves to fine effect.
We head off to Hungary next for Anjuna favourite Sunny Lax with his intricate and layered progressive electronic rework. Taking a step back to its original release we include the Thrillseekers trance master class and the mellow ambient pads of the Art Of Trance Chillout version. Alternate versions from Kansai and Neo and Farina are also included on the full package.
Stay tuned for more from Solar Storm and Jan Johnston.
