Monday Choon: Elysian - Light Years

 

‘Light Years’ has travelled 9.46 trillion kms to reach us - impressive given that Elysian (Emma Hewitt, Maor Levi & Ilan Bluestone) only started their collective in 2020. ‘Light Years’ aside, they’ve packed a considerable amount into that time and space, delivering Anjunabeats the galactically titled ‘Little Star’, ‘Moonchild’ and others. 

‘Light Years’ however sees them jump to another universe, that of Black Hole Recordings, for a succession of outings throughout the year’s course.  

While we say: “spectacular intro to 2024”, there are those who’ll already have made contact with ‘Light Years’. Ilan snuck it aboard his ‘In Search of Sunrise 19’ disc back in December … and to no small effect. That, along with Emma’s Black Hole-released ‘Ghost Of The Light’ album last year, has trailblazed a new Elysian singles run.

Through jacked beats and cyberish FX, at its outset, ‘Light Years’ rocks down some darker corridors. Emma’s song however quickly identifies beauty lying in its depths. As its synth rays rise, Ilan and Maor’s riff lifts the feel, as Emma ponders the eternal question … “is anybody out there?”

Monday Choon: Cosmic Gate & Emma Hewitt - Tonight

One of the few legends of trance and iconic duo for decades, Cosmic Gate have been thrilling crowds over the years with their uplifting beats and great electro sounds. Over the years they seemed to have taken a liking to Australian songstress Emma Hewitt and have featured her a lot on their tracks, she's back once again to join them in one of their latest releases, "Tonight" the track was released earlier this year and has been doing pretty well on the club charts. It's a song that's very similar to their previous work with her, a bit more up tempo and trance like.
