Even before you’ve laid eyes on ‘Enjoy The Silence’’s artwork, it’s likely you already had an idea of what’s incoming. Suffice to say it’s a shared love of Depeche Mode that’s brought Paul Thomas and Christian’s Burns together to re-envision the track.

In trance music’s possible alphabet, G could be for Germany, while H could only ever count for Holland… ports-of-call already made by the ‘Hypnotised’ album series. And, despite its neatly compact size, Belgium has left an outsized impression on the genre and that’s where ‘Hypnotised - A Journey Through Belgian Trance Music 1992 - 2003’’s roots-to-musical-riches series arrived.

Evan’s will be a fresh name to some, but (through his work with Gareth Emery, Ashley Wallbridge and others), possibly already embedded for others.

Since she entered the electronic music space, taking the alt-route has become part of Christina Novelli’s course. To start putting that into context, her new album ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You!’ is the direct follow-up to 2019’s ‘Through My Eyes’. Given that the latter was an all-acoustic affair, while this release could hardly be more ‘club’, it allows you some idea of the artistic latitude she has carved for herself.

Across their respective histories, Daniel Wanrooy, JES and ‘In Search Of Sunrise’ have shared a good degree of commonality. Both artists’ careers kicked off within a few years of the series’ launching, and since they’ve supplied it, and its label with many releases.

With tags like ‘Leaving Me’, ‘Beautiful Lies’ and ‘Fallen Ones’, you may be thinking the course of true love wasn’t running smooth for Christina Novelli. However, it’s not the headlines that count here, but the between-the-lines implications of her songs.
