Would you believe it, TPHP is back yet again. These busy
weeks are swinging around with barely a moment to take breath.
In all honesty, there isn’t a lot to say this week, other
than that we are continuing with the formula that made Episodes 38 and 39 my
favourite back-to-back episodes of 2012 so far. Those who heard the last 2
episodes will know exactly what to expect.
We retain that ‘Coldharbour’ influence with our first forays
into some of the better tracks on Markus Schulz’s new album, Scream – they are
the dancefloor destroying Finish Line and the more melodic ‘minimal’ touch of
Soul Seeking. There’s more Suncatcher, more Wezz Devall, more Heatbeat, more
Philip Mayer, more Armin Van Buuren and another remix by Oleg Espo. All very
familiar territory for my podcast at the moment.
Of those artists mentioned, the one that really jumps out is
Heatbeat, who have done a very unlikely remix of a tune that was a pretty big
vocal anthem for me during my hard dance years. It’s actually only through
doing a little bit of research now that I realise that The Day Will Come was
originally released in 1998 and is much older than the Steve
Hill vs K Series version that I latched onto in 2005. Nevertheless, Heatbeat’s
update brings it crashing into 2012.
What’s new? Watch out for a new vocal single by Stoneface
& Terminal, one half of Ilya Soloviev’s first release of this year and, not
forgetting, Tune Of The Episode, Rise by Tonny Nesse & Misja Helsloot – an
epic, melancholic trancer that I’ve been hotly anticipating for a good few
months now.
Shock horror – our ‘closing oldie’ is a second helping this
year from German ‘pioneers-come-misfits’, Scooter. Trance-Atlantic was a
standout melodic trancer on the very confused 2005 album, Mind The Gap. How
original it is is certainly up for debate – many have compared it to Active
Sight’s classic Out Of Our Lives of the year before – but, as a standalone
example of Scooter’s hidden potential for occasionally whipping up something
really special, it’s first class.

Here’s hoping the suggestions of Spotlight forum members and my own DJing
skills remain a winning combination.... All for now.
