Monday Choon: Alex Sonata & TheRio - The Real Thing

 

Italian and Scottish duo might not work for everyone but if you are like me and enjoy a whisky with your pizza or pasta than maybe this duo will work for you too, Alex Sonata and TheRio are no strangers to trance music as they have been producing music on Enhanced and Armada Music for years. The duo have been collaborating since 2018 and have been recognised by big name artist in the industry from the likes of Gareth Emery, Cosmic Gate and Armin Van Buuren. They recently released their 4-track EP on Ajunabeats of which we have the track "The Real Thing" featured on the blog today. The song has a proper big room trance feel with a hard bassline that kicks in midway giving it that high energy feel after the melodic intro with the vocal chorus. They also released their live set from Porto Flavia on YouTube which is also epic, so if you get a gap, its a must watch and listen to!

Monday Choon: Gareth Emery - I Saw Your Face (Alex Sonata & TheRio Remix)

 

British DJ Gareth Emery has been busy during lockdown making new music and most of them have been fire! Today's track is one of them and is off his latest album, The Lasers. It has received remix treatment from Alex Sonata and Therio. The track itself has the classic Gareth Emery trademark sounds with a heavy piano and hard-style techo vibe, but Alex and Therio have upped the BPM but also given the track the mellow periods it deserves. There a few remixes for this track but this one is my pick from the bunch as I feel it just hits right and doesn't even feel like its a remix but rather an original. Go ahead and give it a listen and let me know your thoughts on the Instagram page.
