Roger Shah Presents The Sunlounger 'The Beach Side Of Life'
Artists: First there was ‘Another Day On The Terrace’, then 2008 brought ‘Sunny Tales’… Now Roger Shah presents the third Sunlounger session… Welcome to ‘The Beach Side Of Life’. Find out the whos, whats, whens and wheres by reading on!!
He started this summer with the third wave of his Magic Island mix series - his ‘see-you-soon’ musical-message to Balearically-minded people everywhere. The compilation prefaced one of the most incredible summer seasons of Roger’s career – one that has seen him take his unique, spellbinding LIVE show to all four corners of the globe – witnessed by tens of thousands of people along the way.
He started this summer with the third wave of his Magic Island mix series - his ‘see-you-soon’ musical-message to Balearically-minded people everywhere. The compilation prefaced one of the most incredible summer seasons of Roger’s career – one that has seen him take his unique, spellbinding LIVE show to all four corners of the globe – witnessed by tens of thousands of people along the way.
This October he’ll book-end it with his ‘closing party’, the last sunset stroke of his 2010 summer… Under his most famous alias, Shah delivers Sunlounger’s third artist album. The man to whom summer is as much an obsession as it is a season will again enthral with super-warm pads & super-chilled riffs; ones that will create a fresco of new music, infused & influenced, at every turn, by the sun.
‘Beach Side’s start-point – both spiritual and actual - is Salinas, Ibiza, where Roger captured the ambient sounds, the lapping waves and his own muted musings for the title track. Back in the studio the drums and looping lamenting guitar refrains were brought in and they provide the perfect introduction to ‘The Beach Side’s musical M.O.
Back in 2008 Roger & vocalist Zara Taylor recorded ‘Lost’ – a track that proved to be the most popular trance track of that year (as voted for by the listeners of A State Of Trance). Both producer and vocalist felt that ‘the story’ merited a concluding part and recorded ‘Found’. Already a single in its own right it adds to the album’s indolent complexion.
Vocalists have played a key role in of the first two Sunlounger albums and that naturally enough that continues with pt.3.
On ‘Beautiful Night’ Antonia Lucas’ vocoded lyrics and harmonies are interspersed by radiating synths and pads sequences, whilst on ‘Life’ Lorilee’s ebullient vocals soar high. After ‘Don’t Wake Me Up’, their collective club-smash, Inger Hansen’s voice became a firm favourite of Roger’s and its elegiac-ally tinged tones can be heard again on ‘Braking Waves’.
As much as the album is recorded with a more meditative view of the trance genre, there are a few tracks that, in their original forms, edge their way off the sands and head in the direction of the clubs. With its samba sounds & stabby uplifting synthology, ‘Son of a Beach’ is a sure-fire foot mover and ‘Summer Escape’s strong, stirring lead-line is likely to engender the same effect in the arms dept! ‘Trademark White’ meanwhile (a reference to Shah’s own on-stage persona) holds off on some of the traditional vibrant Sunlounging percussion to give a more stripped-down musical perspective.
As with the first two albums, ‘Beach Side of Life’ is an LP for those who – like Roger – see beauty in live instrumentation, languid sounds & lower-end tempos. New to pt.3’s musical make-up are imaginative emerging world music themes & purpose-captured ambient effect-ology. These all coalesce into a CD that creates a whole new art of chill.

Digital Society

After 2 highly acclaimed DS International compilations mixed by Matt Hardwick and John Askew, DS-R looks to the future with super producer talents Ashley Wallbridge and Activa heading up the much anticipated DS International volume 3 release.
Ashley Wallbridge
Ashley Wallbridge is undoubtedly one of the most prolific prospects on the progressive production scene in 2010, named by industry leaders such as Andy Moor and Gareth Emery as one of the hottest break-through DJ talents in the game. At just 22 years old, his discography reads like a 'who's who' list of EDM with releases of originals and remixes featuring names like Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, Tritonal & TyDi. Ava Recordings release 'Faces' the 2009 collaboration with Andy Moor, fast became one of the biggest titles of the year and dominated download charts worldwide, closely followed up by club hit original 'Chimera'. With a hectic tour diary covering London to Los Angeles & Argentina to Australia, Ashley has become an extremely in-demand DJ, with his name set to hit the bright lights on billboards right across the globe.
Activa
Activa (Production maestro Rob Stevenson) is a man on fire. Labeled by Paul van Dyk as his producer of the year, Activa productions have appeared on Spinnin, Discover, High Contrast and of course the mighty Vandit Records - which has seen Activa tracks & remixes feature in sets from the biggest names in the industry. 2009 saw the tech-trance titan complete his first and highly acclaimed artist album 'This World', and has worked with the likes of Giuseppe Ottaviani, John Askew & Jon O'Bir in recent times. Coupled with new projects on Anjunabeats (under the Solar Movement alias), and with Dave Parkinson under his Revelation 9 guise on Activa's very own brand new, independently run label, Borderline Music - a label which is set to take the Trance scene by storm. Alongside tour dates in Europe, Asia, and the US throughout the calendar year, Rob's renowned UK residency with Digital Society is held in the highest regard.

Ferry Corsten announces “Once Upon A Night, Vol.2” mix compilation and world tour!
Artists: Ever since the kick off of his “Once Upon A Night” tour in March of this year, Ferry Corsten has been busy travelling the world, playing in front of thousands of ecstatic fans at sold out venues, night after night. The initial mix compilation that appeared as a result of this worldwide victory, hit number 1 on iTunes in the USA and continuing the success of the concept, Ferry Corsten proudly announces his upcoming “Once Upon A Night, Vol.2” mix compilation, supported by a massive world tour.
Every single Ferry Corsten fan knew that his first “Once Upon A Night” compilation and the tour concept was not going to be a one-off thing. But neither friend nor foe would have expected that the second volume would come out this early. It shows the sheer determination of Ferry himself to maintain a steady pace with this new series and to take the world on a journey with his outstanding performances.
Ferry: “After I released volume 1 in March I was so overwhelmed by the enthusiastic reactions from both the fans and the press, that I decided to start compiling volume 2 straight away. I knew it had to be just as good or even better than the previous edition. On volume 2, CD1 starts off housey with trance elements. CD2 continues in a more banging style and it takes volume 1 into the extremes.”
One thing is for sure: the “Once Upon A Night, Vol.2” mix compilation will be released on October 1st and to support the release of this new volume, Ferry will begin his world tour with a huge kick off party in London, at The Gallery’s 19th birthday on September 17th. He then continues with an extensive twenty plus North American city tour.
Fans should keep their eyes peeled and get their tickets in time. Throughout the months of September and October, Ferry will visit San Francisco, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Boston, New York, Toronto, Buffalo, Seattle, Vancouver, Edmonton, Chicago and many, many more great cities across the States. Ferry Corsten’s transcontinental tour the force for “Once Upon A Night, Vol.2” once again confirms his status as superstar DJ. More information about the upcoming tour will follow soon.
What’s most important, as always with a superb mix compilation, is of course the fact that Ferry Corsten now officially reveals the track list of “Once Upon A Night, Vol.2” Let’s just quit the talking and let’s hear it for: the track list!

Leon Bolier 'Phantasma' - The New Artist Album
Artists: The spellbinding new artist album… Featuring the club smash singles ‘That Morning’, ‘2099’, ‘Dark Star’ & ‘Shimamoto’. 2XCD & DD forthcoming on Spinnin’ Records, 31st August 2010.
Two years after his debut artist album ‘Pictures’ captured the hearts and minds of trance and electronic dance lovers (and scored one direct dancefloor hit after another), Leon Bolier is ready to return with its sequel.
Over 2 discs, 24 across-the-realm tracks and 150 synth-packed minutes, ‘Phantasma’ delivers a stunning auditory proposition… A filler-free, close to compilation-like listening experience; a potential ‘Pictures-killer’ and one that effortlessly jumps the ‘difficult second album’ hurdle. ‘Phantasma’ will again emphasize Bolier’s reputation as the go-to man for trance… with a twist.
Kicking off with a double single whammy of ‘That Morning’ and his latest Sied van Riel collaboration ‘Dark Star’, Leon begins to flip over the cards in ‘Phantasma’s diverse pack. This is not diversity for its own sake though. This is music resolutely aimed to be played in-club across the whole duration of a night - midnight to 9am music - warm-up, peak-time and even, on occasion backroom chill.
‘Phantasma’ many degrees-of-trance leaves no genre corner unexplored. Those of a more atmospheric, ethereal persuasion are well catered for with the likes of ‘War of the Worlds’ (sampling the infamous radio dialogue), the stark, raging riffs of Marcus Schössow collaboration ‘2099’ and trance-progressive offerings like ‘Creek’ and ‘The Attic’.
Wherever you are in the album though, afterburning floor-threats are never far away - euphorically minded endorphin trip-switchers designed to activate peak-time dancefloor citizens. ‘Don’t Be Afraid’, ‘Highland Walk’ ‘Assembly Line’, ‘Avalanche’, ‘The Knights Approach’ all take their turn under the laser, tearing loose floor-tiles along the way. As with ‘Pictures’ there are also plenty of hi-vis producer team-ups on offer… Dirtier, moodier numbers like the Joint Operations Centre (John O’Callaghan) co-op dovetail with melodic sun-kissed island odysseys like Leon and Roger Shah’s Ibiza-gazing ‘Eden’.
Vocals are rare across Leon’s discography but on ‘Phantasma’ when they do arrive they do so with substantial impact. For ‘By Your Side’ he tracked down the talents of US singer Fisher, who subsequently delivered a heart-stoppingly, elegant vocal core to the track. Elsewhere on the discs, Leon’s new Netherlander discovery Marieke de Kruijff adds her honey-drop tones to ‘Irresistible’ and ‘Substitute’ and Australian singer Alana Aldea lends melancholic lament to ‘The Sweetest Lie’.
Seasoned album buyers will be aware that around the 12 track mark your average artist long-player starts to fade out. As with ‘Pictures’ double-disc bumper edition though, Leon’s second album could very well have been his forth. ‘Phantasma’s second disc ushers in tracks like the Haruki Murakama inspired (and melodically beguiling) ‘Shimamoto’, as well as ‘Saturn’ his anthemic, cinematic dark trance head-to-head-with new Dutch sensation W&W. And on ‘Fly Back to Her’ he re-teams with his ‘Strike One’ sparring partner, Joop for a tech-fried, tightly percussive outing.
Through its run-time ‘Phantasma’ achieves the perfect balance – an album of audacious audio that is equally at home on the car stereo as it is in the clubs making the bass-bins pound and the speakers sweat. It’s out on the 31st of August.
