Tiefschwarza at Electronation Amsterdam drops Steve Lawler's '21st Century Ketchup' (Original Mix), a track punctuated with trippy birds calls, bells and chimes which afford it a mystical ambiance that contrasts sharply against the harsher backdrop of rolling claps and stabs.

Almost a year since The Anthem smashed into the top of the Billboard charts and burned up the prestigious UK top 40 chart, US duo Filo & Peria are back, this time with 'Shine On'. Released on Paul van Dyk’s behemoth imprint Vandit Records, this is another epic big room all-out trance anthem, with the silky strains of Eric Lumiere once again on the vocals.
