'ITWT 018'
Mixed By Marc Simz

If you came into 2011 not having heard of Marc Simz, its unlikely you're going to leave the year the same way. For a while now the Dutch DJ and producer's been generating buzz as the resident at Nijmegen's The Matrixx – one of Holland's biggest clubs and a thriving hotbed of synths, strings and all things trance. Over the last 12 months, through ITWT tracks like 'Forbidden City', 'Stealth' & 'Delusory Hopes', alongside his Aerofoil collabs 'Knights Templar' and 'Xplode 2011', he well and truly marked his card as one to watch.

What better way then to finish up an impressive year then, than to mix your first In Trance We Trust compilation, which is exactly what he's done! The latest in the long-running series (which looks set to hit its 20th edition next year) kicks off with the mellow drama of EDU Presents Traveller's iCare. From there Marc starts to push the mix out in other directions, with Rafaël Frost giving an electro-ish tint to 'Smash' and Virunga's 'Freefall' producing some techier tones. In the bring-back corner Dennis Sheperd gets some major uplift behind his new mix of Marc Marberg and Kyau and Albert's 'Neo Love' and Yuri Kane achieves much the same, reworking Cosmic Gate's Open Your Heart. Further in and ITWT18 doesn't fall short on the highlights. Saint X's wrought-iron-tough 'Gabriel', Eco and Radmilla's gorgeous, affecting 'Change The World' and Marc's own forthcoming 'Vimbuza' (which sees him in the studio with Dutch production legend Geert Hunink) all resonate quality. Edition 18 offers another as-ever on-form ITWT release and one you don't want to be without. So let's see if we can help with that! We've got 3 to give away! All you need to do to be in with a chance of bagging one is to hit us the name of one other Black Hole sub-label.
