Day 665 (1 Year, 300 Days): https://youtu.be/_UmVZCAUdSw…
Artist: Thomas Datt
Song: Prana Flow
Genre: Uplifting-Tech Trance
Label: Damaged Records
(Wednesday) It's the big 1 year, 300 days! I wanted to showcase a tune today that shows how much I still have to learn about EDM and the trance genre. "Prana Flow" is a recent track from Thomas Datt, whom I didn't know until searching him up after Dreamstate SoCal 2016. He was the "Surprise Guest" and played at the Timeless, classics stage.
Released on Damaged Records, a label run by Jordan Suckley so mostly tech trance, "Prana Flow" is quite melodic and hence why I labeled as an uplifting, tech trance song. The introduction section has some tech elements but it is toned down, and the climax at 5:00 seems to call an uplifting feel.
I want to call to attention to the technical side of the production; the way Datt layers each line and the way he presents the soundscape (starting at 2:30) is impressive and the way he plays with the phaser sound at 5:20, shows how deserving he is of the "surprise guest" on the Dreamstate lineup. I wish I could have gone to see him just for a bit to see his DJing skills.
Thomas Datt is one name that I wish I have heard before, but better late than never! There is also a fat artist description on his Beatport page.
If you guys are still reading and listening to these posts, thank you so much! A Song A Day has always been a learning and growing experience for me.
