Monday Choon: Jason Ross & Kill The Noise Feat. Sarah de Warren - Under Pressure

American DJ and record producer, Jason Elliot Ross is no stranger to the blog as many of his tracks have been featured in the past. His unique style of electronic music has captivated us and when he collaborates with other big names in the industry, the end product is always near faultless. On today's featured track we see team up with fellow American producer Kill The Noise and British vocalist and song writer Sarah De Warren. The song is a melodic masterpiece with a steady build up with techno and trance beats, enhanced by the calming voice of Sarah which transitions to mellow break that is the prequel of an epic drop that has hints of dubstep to it. It's an all round fire song from the trio and one that we love. 

Monday Choon: Jason Ross feat. Dia Frampton - Never Alone

 

US DJ and producer Jason Ross returns to the blog with his latest track in which he collaborates with American music singer and writer Dia Frampton. The song followings his melodic style of music in which he has been exploring since 2014 with the release of "Elements" on the Anjunabeats label. Jason has proven to be a versatile artist over the years, from trance melodic beats to dubstep and more. His gain in popularity is all down this and has seen him headline major festivals in recent years, most recently at North America's largest dance festival, EDC Las Vegas. "Never Alone" follows that same melodic trance and heavy bass style of production with the calm intro with vocals that build the synths in the background as it peaks towards the drop and chorus. It's expertly done like many of his previous work and its no wonder that he is getting the recognition he does in the trance world. 

Monday Choon: Jason Ross - A Place They Called Home

There's certain songs that just catch you from the first time you hear it, 90% of the time its from a major event and its labelled as an "ID" so you have wait patiently until someone puts their hand up and takes responsibility for this masterpiece. That is exactly what happened with today's track, I first heard it played by Above & Beyond at their ABGT500 celebrations in LA last year, it's a song with a melody that hit my heart, the light but ever so symphonic vocals made it even more harder to resist. It was by none other than American DJ Jason Ross, his CV speaks for itself, the albums he has released and artists he has worked with, and not to mention all the touring he does, its amazing he can still produce bangers like this with such a busy schedule. Speaking about this track, Jason had this to say, "‘A Place They Called Home’, is a tribute to my mom's side of my family, who left their home country, Iran, over 40 years ago. Growing up as a child, I was exposed to their beautiful culture and music; this is one of the reasons behind why I naturally gravitated to more emotionally driven music like trance and progressive. It was so nice to go back to my roots with this song. It’s a more modern approach to my earlier tracks like ‘Atlas’ and ‘Cairo’ while still maintaining that emotional identity."

Monday Choon: Arty & Mat Zo - Rebound (Jason Ross Remix)

 

We're still reminiscing about Above & Beyond's ABGT450 set at the Drum Sheds in London, it was so good to see trance music making a come back at an event of such. After the past year of uncertainty, a sense of normality was felt even as we watched the live stream from the comfort of our homes. Anyway, the set by the British trio included some stand out tracks but none that hit home for me quite like today's featured track. Its a remix of Arty and Mat Zo's 2011 track Rebound, done by America DJ and producer Jason Ross. It was just awesome to hear that melodic tune of Rebound again but what Jason has done with the remix is truly special, its given it a new lease of life and really uplifted the sounds to make it more up to speed to what we're hearing today, The track is still not officially released as yet but Arty has been kind enough to share it on his YouTube channel so we thought we'd share it too. It's a perfect track to get your week started and I can't think of a better way to start my Monday than listening to this track myself, so enjoy!

Monday Choon: Jason Ross - The Accord

 

American DJ and producer, Jason Elliot Ross needs no introduction to this feature, he's had a few songs and remixes featured in the past and he is back with another brilliant track. 'The Accord' see's Jason going back to his trance roots as this track was made for Anjunabeats Volume 15 and has been one of the hits from there so far. It really harks back to his old sounds which will ignite the inner flame for any trance lover. The songs build up and melodic vibe is enough to send you into upliftment, just the thing needed when listening to Volume 15 of Anjunabeats. It really is a brilliant track and one that will be played for a while to come. 

Monday Choon: Jason Ross feat Fiora – When The Night Falls (Sunny Lax Remix)

For those who are regular listeners to the Group Therapy podcasts would have heard Sunny Lax's exceptional takeover last week on ABGT381. One of the stand out songs for me was his remix of Jason Ross's "When the Night Falls" featuring Fiora. Sunny Lax has done an exceptional job on this remix, as he's enhanced the feeling of the track.  The song has such a great monotone bass line which blends with Fiora's voice so perfectly. It has mellow build ups and drops, just the right trance energy you need and one of my favourite tracks to listen to while running or training. 

Monday Choon: Jason Ross - Chains (with RØRY)

LA based DJ Jason Ross has recently launched his latest album 1000 Faces and today we have a track from the album featured as our track of the day. Chains which features Rory a trance masterpiece and will have anyone who appreciates electronic music hitting that repeat button to hear it again when the track ends. The build up of the melodies and the vocals work in harmony, its all beautifully brought together in this track. It's trance track that shows the genre doesn't have to be heavy or uplifting, it's almost pop -like if I could even use that term but it is a track that could easily get radio play and I hope it does. Honestly one of my favourites so far this year.

Monday Choon: Jason Ross feat. Emilie Brandt - IOU (Jason Ross Club Mix)

Jason Ross is back with another banger, this time with a club mix of his track featuring Emilie Brandt, IOU. The original is a great track but Jason obviously felt it needed to be sped up for club or show use as it sounded more mellow and has a great acoustic vibe to it. The vast differences are apparently from the start to the end with it starting with a great uptempo bass beat which transcends into Emilie's vocal's which have also been sped up to match the bpm of the track. It's a brilliant addition by American DJ/ Producer and definitely one I'll be listening to more than a few times. The track is available now on Anjunabeats.
