Ibiza Trance Anthems 2008

September 18, 2008

What would you get if you took two of the biggest, most respected trance labels from not only the UK but from the whole scene, put them in a blender with their mighty fine track knowledge and know-how and perhaps bung in one big fat jug of Sangria for good measure? It would look like one big rank mess but sound like this double disc beauty of a release!

After the massive # 1 (UK & USA) iTunes success of last year’s Ibiza Trance Anthems 2007, the big bosses at Nukleuz and Maelstrom join forces once again to provide another collection of White Isle inspired beats.

Famed for being the biggest selling 12” label in the world for 3 years running to launching the careers of Fergie and BK to name a couple, Nukleuz are renowned for putting out meaty slabs of techno, trance, hard house and hardcore. Their mix includes tunes by king of hard beats Mauro Picotto (Ibiza Angel & all time classic Komodo), the Ferry Corsten championed ‘DJs Take Control’, the Paul Van Dyk & Carl Cox hammered Andy BopH ‘Rat Trap’, plus heavy hitters from Fonzerelli, DJ Choose, P.H.A.T.T, Pierre Pienaar and Judge Jules favourite Will Atkinson.

Set up at the beginning of 2001, Maelstrom focuses on artists and tracks from the techier end of trance and house, providing quality releases over the years from international talent such as Oakenfold, Chris Lake, Oliver Klein, Lange, Parker & Hanson and Tiësto. Starting their mix with this year’s massive summer collaboration from Blank & Jones ft. Bernard Sumner (Miracle Cure) other tracks come from the likes of trance legend’s Pulser (Sunseeker) and Lange (Out Of The Sky) also Russia’s no.1 dance music favourite Bobina (Invisible Touch).
