And Now Eternity by DJ Firefox: A Trip Down Trance Lane (That You Won’t Forget)
Let’s cut to the chase—And Now Eternity is one of those albums that sneaks up on you like a caffeinated squirrel. Released in 2009 under Spain’s Dance DP Blue label, this little gem from DJ Firefox scratches an itch you didn’t even know you had. It’s not trying too hard; it just does its thing with style and swagger. The genre? Electronic, baby. More specifically, Progressive Trance and Trance—a combo smoother than your morning espresso but with enough kick to keep you dancing till sunrise.
Now, let’s talk tracks because if I went through all three, we’d be here longer than eternity itself. First off, there’s the Original Mix of “And Now… Eternity.” This track feels like stepping into a neon-lit dreamscape where everything glows faintly purple and slightly mysterious. Oscar Contreras—the man behind both writing and producing duties—clearly poured his soul into this one. The build-ups are lush without being overblown, and the drops? Oh, they hit like nostalgia wrapped in bubble wrap. Every time I hear it, I’m transported back to some imaginary club where everyone knows how to move but no one takes themselves too seriously. Pure magic.
Then there’s the Akku Remix. If the original mix is the thoughtful introvert at the party, Akku turns things up about ten notches. This version grabs you by the shoulders, shakes you awake, and says, “Hey, buddy, it’s go-time!” The bassline slaps harder, the synths feel sharper, and suddenly you’re not just bobbing your head—you’re full-on grooving like nobody’s watching. What makes this remix stick out for me is its energy. It’s chaotic yet controlled, kinda like eating tapas while riding a unicycle. You don’t question why it works; you just enjoy the ride.
As for the DJ Nash Remix, well… let’s just say it’s solid, though maybe not as memorable as the other two. But hey, sometimes you need that middle child who quietly holds the family together.
So what’s the verdict? And Now Eternity might not reinvent the wheel, but it sure knows how to spin it real nice. It’s the kind of album that reminds you why Progressive Trance ever became a thing in the first place—it’s emotional, layered, and oddly uplifting. Plus, coming from Spain—a country known more for paella than pounding beats—it adds a dash of unexpected flair.
Here’s the kicker: Listening to this album made me realize something profound. Life’s a lot like these tracks—you start slow, build momentum, then explode into moments so good they almost feel surreal. Except, unlike DJ Firefox, most of us can’t remix our bad days into bangers. Maybe that’s why we’ve got music, huh?
Final rating: 8/10. Solid vibes, zero regrets. Now excuse me while I go find my glow sticks.
