With no doubt this is the best track of 2014. It has everything: sense, stunning drive. It doesn’t have any 4x4 bassdrum kicks but this silence leaves space for more energy, something that Moderat does very well. At the same time this treack really goes deep. So many emotions in one track, that’s amazing. I recently ordered it on 12”... and I even have no decks!!

On the edges of trance and techno there’s Stephan Bodzin (former Kaycee) together with Marc Romboy. Kerberos is a calm track with a deep and dark touch, still it has a dynamic and melodic drive. Recommended to listen, play it loud and push your subwoofers to the max!

I discovered Kid Simius on the Sziget festival this year, and it became a crazy jump-ing-fest in 30+ degrees celcius. Definitely the performance and track that made my sum-mer! I hope you still have your subwoofers to the max from listening track #2

Featured in the Trailer to Interstellar this track instantly got me hooked to check out the movie. I bookmarked it because the song was pretty good but eventually i forgot about it. Purchased it after watching the movie, and as i sat there with my headphones on i had tears in my eyes, that buildup and atmosphere - a masterpiece in my opinion!

Boston based Magic Man were one of the first Indie/Alternative bands i discovered 2014 and i fell for this song after the first listen. The song debuted in February 2014 and ac-companied me on my 1-Month trip in March to Ireland. The song will forever be linked to my Ireland trip as I played it up and down and every time i´m listening to it, I remember sceneries from the green island (:

Bissen, what can I say more. The last song from him I remember was “Leap Of Faith” which I stumbled upon by accident as a friend sent it to me years ago via MSN (yeah old-school MSN!). Loved this track back then and as I listened to Quantum when the preview got out I couldn´t believe my ears. The soundscape, out of this world. I sat there and was like “am I flying through space at the moment?”

le As someone who tends to favour sounds at the higher end of the bpm spectrum my num-ber one was always going to be something that lays it head there - and step forth Ocean Avenue. I fell in love with this track from the very first listen although, at the time, it was a dreaded ID. The warm plucks in the breakdown lift me every single time.

A gorgeous uplifting vocal track with a simple, but killer progression on the main melody. First heard it on Aly & Fila’s - ‘Future Sound of Egypt’ back in April and up until it release a month later, i almost wore out the YouTube rip. Seriously underrated track.

Its been a standout year for Solid Stone with a number of flawless releases being re-leased in succession, but this remains my favourite from him. Moody, progressive vibes at their finest. I love winding down with this track at the end of the day and its been the soundtrack to many study sessions.

HAns ziMMer & lisA gerrArd - noW We Are free (HoyAA reMix) [WHite lAbel]

tepAbsolutely stunning vocal uplifter which goes very high into my all-time favorite tracks,

which no tracks have managed to do in recent years. Melody is perfect, vocals are exactly as they should be, it has that classic trance feel, but still sounds very modern, so it has best parts from both worlds. Highly recommended!

Seriously underrated track from spring this year, almost no one has heard of it, but everyone seems to fall in love with it, once they do. Definitely my summer track of 2014, smooth beat, simple, but effective melody, wonderful balearic guitar and although i am no big fan of male vocals, they just fit perfectly here. This is the track i want to hear on the beach, watching sunset, enjoying some exotic drinks with my girlfriend.

Take one of the best melodies ever created and have one of the best trance producers generate his own version of it and you get something like this. This is one of the best re-mixes i have heard in years, “Gladiator” theme just suits trance world so well. It is guaran-teed to give you goosepumps also in 10 years time, as it really is a timeless track. It is a shame it is still waiting for official release.

rk The most authentic vocal of the year, with a production backing it every inch of the way and a remix that takes it over the top. Perfection.

The ultimate listen-once and nothing, listen a second time and it hits you like a steam train. But that’s been Deep Dish - for me at least - for years. Really should know better by now.

The pole-to-pole opposite of the above. Grabs you in a blink of an eye and won’t let go. A track that’s even more than the sum of its (considerable) producer/singer parts.

The dance-scene has a new star, Calvin Harris. His track ‘Summer’ is his biggest yet and was also for me the biggest (summer) tune of the year. Calvin’s style is fresh and fun, I like how he does the vocal for this (and other tracks of his) himself. Because of the origi-nality he gets the number one spot this year.

Just like last year Showtek really knows how to make those hardstyle-house aka bigroom tracks. Of course, it’s commercial, but that doesn’t mean one cannot like it. I love the cheesy vocals ‘why does it feel so good, so good to be bad...’.

Another future star is Oliver Heldens, just another Dutchie, who slammed into superstar-dom with Gecko and Koala. Powerful house music, which somehow gained popularity.

61 The first time I heard this break, I fell in love! It was mindblowing. I was just like OMG!

The climax and drop sound cool too, different and great use of sounds. On repeat as an ID throughout most of this year.

This melody is huge and the way that Trance & big room house come together on this is brilliant. Such originality as well I think. Really complex and well produced.

That melody! Wow! It’s just so good and this year I’ve been playing this track over and over again. Buildup is awesome and so are those sounds.

I’ve never been much of a psy-trance fan, but nearly every track produced by Magnus is a homer-un for me, especially the Render One E.P. Driving around listening to trance during the summer months is one of my favorite things to do and this was my number 1 this year. At Lumi Beach this summer John 00 Fleming played it during his set and I went wild...even though I was eating a slice of pizza with deeii sitting outside the dance floor. Danced in my chair like as much as possi-ble without it looking like I was having a seizure.

Sticking with my driving with trance theme, this one is my 2nd favorite to drive to, wheth-er looking for a progressive track or something to energize me--this tune checks out for whatever mood I am in. It shows up as my most frequently played track this year on my music player.

Usually non-trance tunes don’t trigger strong emotions when I hear them, but the first time listening to this track I felt emptiness, despair and depressed. So for none other than trig-gering such strong emotions and having a unique sound, this makes my #3 spot.

What started as a recommendation from a friend ended up as my biggest musical event of the year. Everything is perfect about this work from the Transformers: Age Of Extinction soundtrack, starting the orchectral background and ending with the haunting vocals by Dan Reynolds from Imagine Dragons. Tessa captures an idyllic moment, an unbearable frustration and many other emotions.

Daniel Avery became my favorite artist of 2014. Though released in 2013 October, his album Drone Logic to this moment stands as the most energy-infused and unique pieces of work I have stumbled upon in 2014. I have spent most of my summer nights jamming this to my neighbours that by now they simply must love it.

This is a combination which simply couldn’t fail. Original is a serene ode to gapeseeders or just stargazers while Moderat brought in a well ordered chaos. Simulating a massive helicopter wing flap, the new layers add a very unique and essential touch which lifted the original to the perfection level. Released digitally and as a 12’’, this is a must for every electronica lover. Everyone.

During the past few years Macarize brought in quite number of fresh names and unforgettable releases. Part of this is due to great producers who brought in their contributions, but the major part is also due to great label managing behind which is the head honcho Kristoffer Ljungberg, who gives us his in-sights about the label management and more.

How did Macarize start?Well, to make a long

story short, I was co-owning a record label called Nellie Recordings back in the day. When we decided to part ways, I started Macarize. Our musical preferences weren’t the same anymore and I wanted to continue to release music I was passionate about. I started Macarize in late 2010 and released the first track in March 2011 and ever since then I’ve always released music I really love, no matter what genre it is.

How many people are behind the label?It’s only me. I’ve always been doing things on my own basically. When you’re working on a passion project, like Macarize is to me, it’s hard to let someone else in. It’s so personal to me, it’s my life, what I spend most of my time

thinking about. To actually find someone to share that enthusiasm and passion with is really hard. It takes a certain amount of trust too. I realize though it might not be the best choice to work alone on a project like this. Most of the other labels within my scene to so speak work in teams of 2-3 or more. They might be wiser than me!

What does it mean to run a label (which is not behind a major parent label) from your personal point of view? Is it a full-time job or more like a hobby?I don’t know. I guess it means less money and less exposure, but in return I get 100% freedom to do whatever I want and no one that breathes down my neck. I’ve been offered to work on bigger projects but I have, maybe stupidly, turned them down. If I can’t stand

fully behind the idea I have a hard time motivating myself. That’s a personal issue of mine I guess. To answer your second question, Macarize is a hobby. I don’t make nearly enough money to be able to live off it. I’m fine with that though because I love this label stuff so much.

You guys released 32 singles in 2014! Would you call it a successful throughput?I think 2014 was the best year yet. I released tons of awesome music with tons of awesome artists. I wouldn’t change a thing even if I could. Many of the tracks were also supported by major artists in the scene and we could be seen in the Beatport charts a big bunch of times so I mean, I couldn’t

ask for more than that. Sure we’re not competing with the majors but for a indie label with no budget and no staff, I think we’re doing alright!

What advice would you give to a producer who would consider sending a demo to your label?For starters, make sure the music you’re sending actually fits the label! I get sent some weird music sometimes that I simply can’t sign because it’s so far from what I’m releasing. Another advice is to really make sure the track you’re sending is on par with other tunes that has been released on the label. If you honestly believe your track is just as good as the stuff that is out there, then send it in! If you think it’s worse and you feel

“To actually find someone to share that enthusiasm and passion with is really hard. It takes a certain amount of trust too.”

?like you can do better, then maybe you should consider working on it a bit more. Producers today seem to be in a hurry all the time. I know people who have produced for years and years and now they are finally getting to a place where their music can be supported by the top players in the industry. It takes time. Sure, there’s exceptions like anywhere else but for the majority of us, it takes a lot of practice. What I’m trying to say is simply to not rush things.

Are you a physical media lover? What is the latest album you purchased?I don’t care much for the physical media to be honest. I can’t even remember the last CD I purchased, unless we can count Christmas gifts, then it’s ”Colors” by Laleh.

What would be your most listened Macarize single personally?Oh that is impossible to answer. I’ve released so many tunes over the years and I’ve listened to all of them a lot. I know that’s a boring answer but it’s the truth. Though I must say that ”Buzz Kill” with Thomas Feijk and Richard Davison will

always have a special place in my heart. It was the first tune I released on Macarize and it’s such a cool and special track. □

EXPLAINING THE CRITERIA

You might be wondering how did we come about with the criteria and the label index. Here is a brief explanation which key points did we use for the judgement.

Exclusives: While exclusive releases on Beatport, iTunes or any other portals help boosting up the charts, it also reflects on the pric-ing of the release and availability. We take exclusive releases as a negative point towards the reach of the audience.

Availability: If the releases are available on more than 3 portals we consider it to be a positive, fan-friendly step.

Public previews: It is important for the listeners to make an opinion from samples longer than limited music portal previews, thus any previews on soundcloud, YouTube, etc are considered as a plus.

Unlaboured schedule: We consider the schedule too ‘tight’ if there is more than one release per week and the label being bare-ly viable if there is less than 5 releases per year. The index is ob-tained by dividing the amount of single releases by the number of weeks per year (53).

Albums / compilations: A label gets a plus if the release diversity is enriched by an occasional album and/or a compilation release. Too many albums or compilations will lead to a negative point.

Style variability: Sticking with only one type of music makes

¿a label too narrow focused while releasing all kinds of styles makes it too loose in it’s focus. We consider a healthy number of styles per year to be between 3 and 7. Exceptions are made when judg-ing a specific sublabel which is focusing on one style.

Remixes: The presence of remixes means their is a well-planned release approach without simple dump of the latest demo as a next release. We find the ratio between remixes and all tracks per year to be good if it exceeds 2.

Inbreeding: Having a small pool of producers remixing each other all over leads to ‘inbreeding’ within the label and reduces the variability. To quantify the ‘fresh blood level’ we divide the unique artists that contributed to the tracks by the total amount of the tracks. The results exceeding 33% are sufficient to keep the the label away from inbreeding.

Physical Releases: Treating your fans with an occasional physical album or single is a luxury nowadays but nonetheless is a good feature of a label.

Integrity & Consistency: While being the hardest to define, this criteria is an essential overall look at a label where it stands in the current picture. Factors being considered here are such as, consistency in music direction, social network integration and/or dedicated website, updates about upcoming releases as well as paying dues to the past ones, details to artwork and the attitude towards the fanbase.

THE DARK SIDE

Sever The heart

So it happened that the duties of mixing February mix of Fab-ric had fallen into the hands of the Italian techno big shot - Jo-seph Capriati. As a headliner in many dance events (Awaken-ings for one) and famous for his back-to-back sets with Adam Bayer, Capriati receives many music lovers in the live events. However he is yet to prove how skilled he is for more meth-odological mixing and though the tracklist is already published the mixing aura is yet to be judged next month. Release date is set to be February 15.

In the wide world of techno Perc Trax holds a firm position in the raw, unpolished sounds section. Celebration of 10 year birthday comes with a physical and digital 2xCD release where there is no place for smooth undulating vibes. Revising some of the classical releases and planting fresh ones, Perc mixes the second CD with napalm and fire. A quality techno selection for all the fans out there.

The four track EP on Cosmic Bridge label fuses elements of techno, drum’n’bass, slowstep, dubstep and breaks. However, unlike the first three composi-tions, Sever The Heart stands out with its directional progres-sion and dancefloor-anihilating beat. A truly one-of-a-kind production.

Raw Surface Records start-ed this year with a massive 5 track EP from Eukslraver. No matter whether the tracks are perfused with detuned synth licks (Classic Movement; Driv-ing Straight) or deep rolling basslines (Walking In The Shadow) they all sound just good enough to get thrilled to dance to them in a club.

TRANCEGreen Martian in the past years has been very con-sistent with their releases and once in a while they ‘drop’ a splendid progressive bomb. It has been more than a year since we were taken aback by Lying Low (by Blufeld and Sovve) and past December Ro-botronica by Lonely Sun & Nicolas Agudelo took our hearts away.

Robotronica has everything a pro-

gressive music lover can want... and even more. Coa-lescent synth layers together with a vocal snippet are very gently wrapped in pads and the remixes from Onez!e and TFC are well thought of flip sides of the single. It was very hard to choose which of the five productions should we praise the most but in the end we got stuck with Original (Vocal) Mix.

The melodic breaks guru, Airwave, is back with yet another proof why trance scene would be lost with-out a mastermind like him. Having recently bounced back the pleads of fans to stick to his old trance roots, Laurent proves again that he is capable of mastering various genres of music. Pain Is My Relief is the best example of that.

Sticking to their roots, the German duo expanded their last year album (which was close to perfection) Be Different by releasing indi-vidual EPs with Extended or Remixed versions from the album. The latest edition brings the Club Mix of Alive - their strongest and the most promising work from the sketches of past year. Looking forward to hear this one in the parties.

Enhanced Recordings has changed its profile quite some time ago, and despite many ex-fans complaining one can’t deny that with-in their massive catalogue a gem appears once in a while. This time its the re-mix by Boxer & Forbes of the latest Speed Limits and Jaco single Palm Of Your Hand. A deep beauty which, we promise, will stick with you for a very long time. That’s how a proper remix sound like.
