Cold Blue, the trance genius who has taken the scene storm with euphoric releases on prolific record labels such as Subculture, Kearnage, Future Sound of Egypt & more is all set for the biggest moment in his amazing career. With a slew of amazing releases, Cold Blue has found himself in the Top 10 Trance artists on Beatport achieving three #1’s and countless Top Ten positions.

Cold Blue’s work is a soundtrack /companion-piece, but perhaps not in the way you’d first imagine. It’s been created more as a 360’ing of winter. One that audibly & aesthetically resonates its clement elements but isn’t adverse to subvert, dig deeper and touch on its other.In keeping he’s produced an album that reflects that ethos, and thus categorically spans the genre’s spectrum. For every number like ‘Winter Gates’ or the recently DJ Mag Money Shot-scooping ‘Golden Leaves’ which chart melodic courses, there’s one like ‘In Madness’ which displays an entirely floor-centric conviction.

Likewise, numbers like ‘Colors’, ‘Shine’ (it’s lead single) or ‘Ode To The Sun’ are contextually counterweighted by the sobering piano-led poignancy of ‘November Rain’ or the breakbeat bite of ‘Frozen’.As with his disc on last year’s ’Subculture’ album (and some might say a debut Cold Blue album in all but name), the release is created to ebb & flow like a DJ set. (Indeed digital formats include a continuous mix of the album).

Notable only by their absence are co-writers & collaborators. All eleven of ‘Winter’s desk-fresh tracks have been produced exclusively and singlehandedly by the man from Mainz.
