N-Trance

UK dance act N-Trance are back with their first original single in 22-years. The brand-new single ‘Higher’ lands alongside an official music video, reigniting the sound and spirit of the crossover group. From the creators of the ‘90s anthem ‘Set You Free’, the release is produced by original member Kevin O’Toole, using the same mixing desk, monitors, and microphone used to record the group’s original.

The release also marks a significant milestone as N-Trance’s first independent release, following their earlier years signed to Pete Waterman’s PWL Manchester label 380 Records and All Around The World.

Kevin O’Toole: “I’ve always wanted my own record label and the freedom that comes with that. The overwhelming response to the new song has been emotional, and I’ve missed the adrenaline of releasing new music. Our music has a distinctive sound, and people recognise and hopefully resonate with that. You’ll be seeing a lot more N-Trance songs released from now on.”

The music video for the track leans into nostalgia, featuring a DeLorean time machine racing down a runway - a deliberate nod to going ‘back to the ‘90s’, the decade that shaped the band’s identity and success.

Originally formed in 1990 by Kevin O’Toole and Dale Longworth at college in Manchester, their track ‘Set You Free’ underwent three separate releases before becoming what it is today. By 1995, the single finally hit the mainstream, reaching No. 2 in the UK Official Charts, remaining in the Top 40 for five months, selling over 600,000 copies and becoming the eighth biggest-selling single of the year.

Performing worldwide with the current live lineup of Rachel Chambers, Tricia McTeague, MC B, Jay McCurdy and N-Trance DJ Junior K, the group’s 2026 schedule is packed with shows including We Love The 90s Festival, In It Together Festival, Back to the 90s Fest and more.
