Super8 + DJ Tab* – Helsinki Scorchin'

It's the perfect drive track. This blasting through the speakers in the car while driving on Alp roads.. feels like in heaven.

One of the best tracks produced by who are, in my opinion, one of the best duos the label has to offer. Do not sleep on Super8 & Tab. Their remixes for other artists on the label far outweigh remixes of their own original tracks BY other artists on the label. Find them. You won't be disappointed.

In my opinion Helsinki Scorchin is the best trance track so far.

Helsinki Scorchin' the club song is technically the same as Helsinki Scorchin' the stay-at-home-and-chill song, with one difference I guess being how one interprets this song based on their settings. I figure many who rave about this track would emphasize its high intensity club verve, with its sidechained bassline pulsating for almost the entirety of this track and a haunting melody perfectly accustomed to fierce, but clearly not overwhelming, pad synths. Then again, these same things make up a nice combination for the kind of song you want to just relax to, which is by far my preference. The faint and distant cry of the vocals scattered throughout offer one of the most distinct liaisons between the club and home. With my ignorance of many world languages weighing against me here, I don't know if the vocals are lyrical, though in my perception they are indiscernible sounds and, for that, they heighten my endless fascination with the song.

The most stunning and mystifying part of this track is during the second break beginning at 6:50, as the melody fires up once again and for a brief moment leaves you stranded, and you feel as though the track gives off the feeling of breathing.

The name alone, "Helsinki Scorchin'" has always captivated so much wonder in me, leading me to many late night explorations to find images of taiga and the night lights cities of the far northern end of the world, or in general some other of the world's endless arsenal of mysteries. The Alex MORPH remix is quite a high-throttle version of this already intense track, indeed. I feel a lot of the ambience of the original is compensated for a more "massive" and fast-paced version in the remix, which is fine on its own merits and certainly a great rework, though the original will always be the one that I hold closest to me.

This is one of the most immense creations art has to offer, and I'm understating my feelings when I say I'm elated by the fact that this track is enjoyed by so many. Truly one of trance's finest contributions to music.
