February: 9 trance releases you need to hear this month
The Thrillseekers, Dave Pearce & Ben Hennessy, and more
Max Freegrant 'Sometimes We Need To Forget' (Aleksey Sladkov remix) (Freegrant Music)
With all the coverage he’s been getting from us recently, you’d be forgiven for thinking we’ve been sponsored by Max Freegrant over the past few months. But considering the sheer volume and impressive quality of releases his label puts out, the attention is genuinely well-deserved. Its latest offering is three new remixes of his summer 2016 single ‘Sometimes We Need To Forget’ ,including this standout euphoric trance version from Aleksey Sladkov (which, thankfully, is still led by Canadian singer Brandon Hills’ touching lyrics). With the package also including a groove house remix from Judge Jules and a progressive house remix from Portuguese talent Silva, we wouldn’t be surprised if the reworks gain more traction than the original.
