Mirage x Yolaine join the In Trance We Trust family with their captivating track, 'Don't Ever Let Go.'

Markus Schulz reignites his seminal alias, Dakota, for the intense new single, "Only the Dark Knows." Delivering the signature, high-energy trance-techno hybrid sound the project is famous for, this track is a masterclass in tension and release. Prepare for a powerful, unforgettable trip into the Coldharbour darkroom.

Markus Schulz notes: When creating the Nocturnal Voyage chapter of In Search of Sunrise 21, I wanted to take the series somewhere it had never gone before - into darker, bolder terrain. Only the Dark Knows became the gateway to that world. 🌑✨

It’s the sound of transition; where rhythm becomes ritual, and emotion lives in the shadows. For me, it marked the beginning of a new chapter in the In Search of Sunrise story; one that reflects the deeper, more introspective side of what I play and feel.

Anna Reusch’s “World A” is a powerful 140 BPM mainstage techno weapon designed to ignite festival floors and dark warehouse spaces alike. Featured on Technoclub Vol.76, co-mixed by the iconic Talla 2XLC, the track embodies the modern techno aesthetic with a polished yet relentless production style that will have DJs and ravers alike hooked. The track opens with tightly compressed, energetic pounding kicks layered with subtle top-end transients to cut through massive sound systems. These kicks are paired with a rough, moody, and evolving bassline that drives the low end, perfectly balanced through sidechain compression to make room for the rhythmic elements. The percussion design features crisp hi-hats and shuffling rides, giving the groove an unstoppable forward momentum. Anna Reusch’s signature anthemic synth leads dominate the energy of “World A.” The epic synthy hook is crafted with a combination of analog-modeling leads and modern VST layering, creating a lush stereo field that fills the entire dancefloor. This hook is supported by classic rave vocal samples and mysterious spoken female phrases, processed with reverb tails and subtle delay throws to enhance the track’s hypnotic atmosphere. “World A” is structured with DJs in mind. The track begins with a DJ-friendly intro of kicks and percussion, gradually introducing layers of bass and atmospheric pads. The breakdown is a textbook festival moment: the drums strip away, leaving the anthemic lead and vocal samples to soar on their own, creating massive tension and anticipation. The climactic drop slams back in with full-force energy, giving DJs the perfect peak-time moment to lift the crowd into euphoria. The outro cleverly maintains the hypnotic mood with lingering spoken vocal loops and fading synth textures, making it ideal for seamless transitions into the next track. The 140 BPM tempo and pounding kicks make it a perfect peak-hour weapon. Clean intros and outros are crafted for easy mixing during live sets. The anthemic synth riff and emotional breakdown offer the kind of festival moments DJs crave. The hybrid of hard techno and tech trance elements allows it to fit across different subgenres and set moods. Anna Reusch welcome to Technoclub Pure with World A!
