Matthew Preffekt & Aleksey Sladkov & Sasha August - Epic

Review by Mary Mack

Epic by Matthew Preffekt, Aleksey Sladkov & Sasha August: A Trance Journey Worth Taking Alright, let’s talk about Epic. Released back in 2013 under the Czech-based label Trance All-Stars Records, this album is exactly what its title promises—a sonic adventure that’ll leave you breathless. The trio of Matthew Preffekt, Aleksey Sladkov, and Sasha August hit the sweet spot with their blend of Electronic and Trance vibes, leaning heavily into Progressive Trance. It’s not perfect, but damn if it doesn’t grab your attention. Now, I gotta shout out two tracks here because they’re stuck in my head like gum on a shoe. First up, there’s Epic (Spark7 Remix)—a beast of a remix that takes the original tune and flips it into something completely wild. Spark7 throws layers of pulsating synths over a driving beat, creating this hypnotic groove that feels like flying through neon skies at night. You know those moments when music just clicks and makes you feel alive? Yeah, this track does that for me. Every time the bassline drops, it’s like being hit by an energy wave—you can’t help but move. Then there’s the OG version of Epic, which keeps things simpler but no less captivating. It builds slowly, teasing you with soft pads before exploding into euphoric melodies. There’s something raw and emotional about it, like it’s telling a story without words. I found myself zoning out while listening, picturing endless fields or maybe even running toward some mysterious horizon. Weirdly cinematic for a dance track, right? What stands out most about this album is how unapologetically Trance it is. No frills, no pretentious attempts to be “cooler” than it needs to be—it just delivers solid beats and soaring atmospheres. Sure, 2013 was kind of forever ago in music years, but Epic still holds up today. Maybe because Progressive Trance has this timeless quality, or maybe because these guys knew how to craft tunes that stick. Here’s the kicker though—listening to this album made me realize something kinda funny. Trance music isn’t really about perfection; it’s about making you feel bigger than yourself, even if only for a few minutes. And honestly, don’t we all need more of that? So yeah, give Epic a spin. Just don’t blame me if you end up daydreaming about lasers and raving aliens afterward.
