A product of their inspired creative union with former Gabriel & Dresden collaborator Jan Burton, Super8 & Tab’s ‘Mercy’ is the latest innovative anthem from the unstoppable Finnish production duo. A lead track from their imminent artist album ‘Empire’, ‘Mercy’ wraps up warm, energised grooves, an epic musical breakdown and a rushing release of synth euphoria in trademark Super8 & Tab style. But where it really comes alive is through the introduction of Jan Burton’s distinctive, searching vocals. Drawing on darker atmospheres than most trance vocals, the result is one of the most powerful vocal trance anthems in recent memory. A guaranteed future classic. On the remixes, Scottish producer Andy Duguid delivers a hypnotic, eerie but uplifting rework that rolls with a deep summer tech groove before sucking you into an otherworldly breakdown of dramatic organs and supernatural synths. Completing the package, Italian star 7Skies continues the promising flourish of his recent Anjuna anthems ‘Caffeine’ and ‘Sushi’ with a tight pace, groove-fuelled rework that comes laden with tech touches. As grand and emphatic as the name suggests, Super8 & Tab’s ‘Empire’ is the latest shining example of the Finnish duo’s forward-thinking talents and also their second collaboration with vocalist Jan Burton. Charged with the searching, emotion-filled tones of Burton and built on a tight, techie groove, it steadily unravels into a hypnotic vocal anthem through its enchanting, understated melodies and epic arrangement. A future classic, it is sure to satisfy both the main trance floors and those craving a deeper rush. Following the chart storming success of their recent Above & Beyond collaboration ‘Anphonic’, Kyau & Albert offer another moment of Anjunabeats magic with their cleverly contrasting remix. Beginning with a bumpin’ tribal groove, the German pair lull us in with climbing synths and piano motifs before smashing out a monster riff that is as tough as it is uplifting. Completing the package Lovetone, aka Anton Sonin, offers a bouncy groove-fuelled tech-house meets electro-house remix that is matchmade for the sunset terraces and Ibiza dancefloors.
