Ministry of Sound’s genre defining series, Trance Nation mixed By Simon Patterson’ sees the release of the much-anticipated 2015 instalment April 5th.
Having achieved both underground kudo’s and mainstream acclaim with a celebrated unbroken 17-strong run of Beatport Chart #1s, “the Super-Bowl of trance mix-comps” features 36 incredible tracks personally chosen and imaginatively mixed by Simon, including no less than 7 global exclusives. Expect music from main stage stars such as Armin van Buuren, Markus Schulz, Paul Oakenfold, Astrix, Sean Tyas and others, as well as the cream of the crop from trance’s Class of 2015.
Applying that independent musical mindset and a stylistic mix approach, that led the path from BBC Radio 1 music scout to one of the UK national broadcaster’s own DJ / presenters impressing no end with the on-point tech, trance & psy blend he applied to his ‘In New DJs We Trust’ run leading him to a Radio 1 residency show last year.
Simon now serves on his ‘Trance Nation’ release “from the mellow to in-your-face raging!” mixing an eclectic cross of musical tastes, between the deep, tech & tough trance, fluently embracing harmonic, melodic and euphoric elements with out missing a beat.
“What I’d like people to experience from this album is the kind of journey you would get when I play an extended six or seven hour set at my ‘Open Up’ tour nights”, says Patterson. “As it begins, you get a little bit of tone through, which then expands and expands into a mass of sound, when the lid is finally cracked wide. This album is an insight into my broad electronic musical tastes and is a progressive build in the traditional (and very real) sense of the word.”
