Album Review: X Acecream Remix by Tawan
Alright, let’s talk about X Acecream Remix by Tawan. If you’re into trance and haven’t heard this one yet, you’re missing out on a little slice of Dutch electronic magic. Released back in 2002 under the labels Dream Wave Project and Sublogic Corporation, this remix project is like that friend who shows up at a party and suddenly everyone’s dancing. You know what I mean?
The big standout here is obviously the title track, X (Acecream Remix). Man, this thing hits different. It starts off with this hypnotic beat that just pulls you in—like when you’re zoning out to something and then BAM, the bassline kicks in and you’re hooked. The energy ramps up so smoothly, it’s almost unfair. By the time the synths fully bloom, you’re already lost in the vibe. Honestly, I’ve had moments where I’m just doing chores or whatever, and this track comes on, and suddenly I’m pretending my broom is a mic. Don’t judge me.
Another track worth mentioning is… well, okay, full disclosure, there’s only one track mentioned in the credits, but hey, sometimes less is more, right? Still, X (Acecream Remix) feels like its own journey. It’s got these layers that keep unfolding, and every time you think you’ve got it figured out, it throws another twist at ya. That’s the beauty of trance—it doesn’t need lyrics to tell a story. This song? It’s telling you to drop everything and live in the moment.
What makes this release special is how it captures that early 2000s trance essence without feeling dated. Acecream clearly knew what they were doing with the remix, giving it enough punch to stand out while staying true to Tawan’s original vibe. Plus, coming from the Netherlands—a country that basically invented the blueprint for killer electronic music—it’s no surprise this thing slaps.
Here’s the random thought I’ll leave you with: Listening to this album feels like finding an old mixtape in your car’s glove compartment years later. You don’t remember putting it there, but when you hit play, it’s like rediscovering a part of yourself. Weird, huh? Anyway, if you’re a fan of trance or just wanna dip your toes into something nostalgic but fresh, check out X Acecream Remix. Your ears will thank you.
