Here's an Uplifting Trance track 100% made in Ukraine!

As a reminder, The Original Mix was released on 7 July 2007 with a remix by Dima Krasnik.
Toltec made a new version of this brilliant melodic track by releasing a Club Mix. It has some progressive elements in it and the melody gives a happy feeling to our ears. The breakdown begins calmly, makes you want to keep your arms up, close your eyes and fly away for a moment, then it slowly rises in intensity and makes you want to jump again with a huge smile on your face! But the track isn't over, there's another breakdown a couple of minutes later that brings you back to this dreamy feeling. It is longer than the first one and takes more time to rise in intensity. And you're back to jumping and yelling happily one minute later! This is pure quality Uplifting my friends.

Now, R.E.N.O.I.S.E. who is also Ukrainian, decided to make a somewhat harder version. And what a BRILLIANT job it is! Not even 30 seconds the track has begun that the bassline starts kicking seriously. And before 1 minute has passed, the tempo has risen even more. A few seconds before the 2nd minute passes, the bass stops and the insanely twisted melody comes in right away. A few kicks and the edgy bassline comes back. The Ukrainian producer seems to love effects. This track is full of effects and twists in the melody that make it so freakin enjoyable you want to keep it on repeat mode! The breakdown also has very nice effects. You can feel the edge from the beginning till the end!
The website of Abstraction Records is extremely happy with the massive support the Club Mix and R.E.N.O.I.S.E. Remix have been receiving since their release a few days ago. Solarstone has played the first one, Armin and Markus Schulz the second one.

With an Uplifting version and a harder Uplifting version, there had to be a slower version too. This is what the Russian talent Eric Abutaliev aka Eric Flash did. He made a chillout mix for Afterglow. The main melody is kept and modified to fit the relaxing mood. You can hear bells-like sounds along with the melody.

Ukraine has a bright future in Trance music. With such talents as the brilliant NatLife, Toltec, R.E.N.O.I.S.E., Alivestone, Dima Krasnik and others we have a lot to keep an eye on, and i assure you that we won't be disappointed!
