September: 10 trance releases you need to hear this month

Chicane 'Twenty' (Modena Records)

During his 20-year career, trance legend Chicane’s achievements have included a UK No 1 single, a gold certification for his ‘Behind The Sun’ album and high-profile collaborations with artists such as Bryan Adams and Tom Jones. With all that in mind, fans have been calling for a retrospective album for quite some time, but ‘Twenty’ isn’t just your run-of-the-mill ‘Best Of’ compilation. Comprising of his most famous hits remixed by some of today’s hottest producers including Grum, Jody Wisternoff, Kryder and Thomas Datt, it features the singles ‘Saltwater’, ‘Poppiholla’, ‘Don’t Give Up’ and ‘Offshore’. A unique combination of trance, house and progressive, this album is a summary of everything the producer has achieved so far, presented in a refreshing and innovative way.
