Silk Digital welcomes back Robert Nickson pres. RNX with his second contribution to our imprint in as many months. An artist who needs no introduction, thanks to frequent support by Armin van Buuren and other leading global trance artists, Robert truly has an exceptional talent for composing soaring arrangements, with lush melodic progressions. His latest offering, "Clear Skies," jets out of the gate with an exhilarating groove and hypnotic lead synth layer. In the main break, an emotive celestial synth paints a stunning portrait of an especially beautiful autumn sky.
Russian sensation Sound Quelle has been on the warpath of late, with a flurry of peak-hour productions that have witnessed support on Above & Beyond's acclaimed "Group Therapy" radio show. A muscular rhythm section gives the track a club-flavored sensibility from its onset. Euphoric chords enhance the uplifting spirit of the original mix, while lending plenty of hands-in-the-air moments to the dancefloor. Fellow Russian talent Piramex, winner of our "Both" remix contest, has also been pumping out superlative progressive house and trance anthems of late. His interpretation features a stormy groove, well suited for a peak-hour set. Not to be outdone by his counterparts on the release, the main break of his version features an absolutely breathtaking variation on the lead theme.
