I love his style of Dream Trance. You know how sometimes you find out about an artist through his remixes of another sought-after producer? Well, that was the case here too. I was looking through a series of C-Quence releases and stumbled upon Galen's remix of "Final Thoughts". It was a beautiful mix. I even had a listen to the original version, but it just didn't even come close, in my most honest of opinions. At this stage I was genuinely intrigued. I saw this as great encouragement to search for more quality tunes from the maestro.
...And then there was Passiva. His ultra-dreamy alias (as if his productions could be even more dreamy than they already are) has recreated some of the best songs with his amazing remixes. JPL's "A Place Called Home" in particular is an absolute beauty.
If you enjoy the work of Mike Shiver, then I recommend you give this artist more than just a chance. Browse through his entire works. I guarantee you won't regret it!
