Andrea Britton returns alongside two iconic trance projects with which she collaborated years ago, for a huge new track out in the next few weeks
There are names in the history of trance music that embrace the nostalgia of the ‘golden age’ of this musical genre but with the renewed desire to make people dance and keep dreaming.
It’s been a while since Rick Simmonds and Stephen Jones, with one of their lucky aliases Oxygen, met Andrea Britton for the first time, producing the unmistakable Am I On Your Mind: this track, that reached #30 in the UK Single Chart, with all the subsequent remixes, definitively launched the career of the British singer and songwriter.
In fact, shortly thereafter, another interesting collaboration will begin: in 2004, with the alias DT8 Project, Darren Tate produced the marvelous Winter and like Jurger Vries alias, in the same year, the London producer and Andrea Britton released Take My Hand; Andrea Britton’s career is in any case characterized by further collaborations that made her famous especially during the first decade of the 2000s even in the non-trance field: the famous hit Counting Down The Days with Sunfreakz was one of the most danced records of summer 2006.
A long history of pure English trance music but which does not disdain lighter sounds is common to all these artists: it’s no coincidence that Rick Simmonds and Stephen Jones, with another of their historic aliases, Lustral, had produced two formidable tracks with Darren Date (as DT8 Project): in 2020, On My Own and in 2022, Sunshine In Human Form, released both on Mondo Records.
In recent times, the English duo has released a series of compilations to celebrate 25 years of career with a collection of new remixes of their classics which have been published since 1997 under various aliases: Chakra, Ascension, Lustral and above all, the most famous, The Space Brothers. Instead, as we know, Darren Tate has been busy, in recent weeks, promoting his new album Metamorphosis, released on Anjunabeats, which blends trance, house and progressive breaks sounds.
The Space Brothers and DT8 Project, the two projects have reunited in recent weeks with Andrea Britton to produce a brand new track together, which was played for the first time yesterday during episode 1176 of A State Of Trance by Armin van Buuren:
What can I say: all the elements that made them all famous seem to have come together in a dreamy trance track where there is no missed of a powerful beat to make you raise your hands to the sky !
Never Felt This Good will be released on Armada Music B.V. very soon: we are ready to make it one of our tracks of the summer !
