Ashley Wallbridge – The Inner Me
Almost two weeks ago, English trance legend Ashley Wallbridge made a debut of his first full length album titled The Inner Me. I’ve been eagerly awaiting this release heard the news back in December, and have finally given a few listens through and selected some of my favorite tracks. The whole album is fantastic. Every song is uplifting and euphoric to mirror his traditional form of play. Though the tracks aren’t as long as I had hoped, being his first release, Ashley has done a masterful job. If you’re looking for a good album to kick back to, cheer up to, or zone out and happily listen to this would be a good call. Below is the tracklist with links to previews of my favorites. Overall World To Turn is by far my favorite because of the pairing with Andy Moor which is then again complimented with the wonderous voice of Gabriela. Honorable mention is Bang The Drum with the vocals of Audrey Gallagher. You can get the album on Beatport. Cheers

Armin Van Buuren – A State of Trance 2012 (Album Out Now)
There have been some highly anticipated tracks coming from the newly installed album titled A State of Trance 2012, by the one and only Armin Van Buuren. Several of the tunes coming from the 2 disk set have already made it into sets from around the world, not to mention Tune of The Week and Future Favorite on many A State of Trance episodes. We’ll be doing a follow-up writing of this album as soon as I get a listen in! Stay tuned! The official release date was to be March 1st but Armada Music Shop says the album isn’t available in the US until August for some reason… let’s hope this is an error. Until that hopeful error is fixed you can ‘pre-order’ from Armada Music or just head to iTunes. Below are the two preview videos from both CDs in set! Cheers

Album Favorites: Markus Schulz Los Angeles ’12
Well after nearly 2 weeks I made my initial promise to review the Los Angeles ’12 Album, I’ve finally gotten around to the write-up. First off let me state that if you don’t have the Album, you need to buy it now. This is a trance album that is absolutely worth spending your buck on. In the tracklist below I’ve highlighted and linked my 10 favorite tunes from both CDs but don’t take this as an evidence that these are the only songs good- I thoroughly enjoyed both CDs! Both ring in a powerful energy with also sense of reflective trance that was excellently compiled by the man himself Markus Schulz. Finally I’ve included YouTube video of my overall two favorite tracks which were Quantum Mechanics – Styller and The Fusion – Omnia & Ira. Get the full album here on Beatport. Cheers!
Marcus Schulz Los Angeles ’12 Album Out Now
Markus Schulz has been putting in countless hours to produce the highly anticipated Los Angeles ’12 Album. If it’s anything comparable to his past productions, it won’t be a disappointment. You can get it now on Beatport. Once I give a listen to some of the songs I’ll do another write-up of the favorites. Check out the massive 2-disk tracklist below, and listen to snippets of some of the songs in the released YouTube video. Cheers

Rusko – Somebody to Love (Original Mix)
Okay sooo I know I’m looking forward to Rusko’s upcoming U.S. college tour this February! BUT To satisfy my Rusko needs until then, he is graciously has decided that he will be releasing singles over the coming weeks from his upcoming full length album titles Songs (due to release March 27th)! The first of these is “Somebody To Love.” A wonderful grime tune with an interesting and entertaining music video. Check it out, but don’t be fooled by the playful and melodic beginning because the bass and wobble that is to come might melt your face off.
