Voyage by Traces Traxx: A High-Energy Trip That Doesn’t Let Go
Alright, let’s cut the crap. If you’re into trance and haven’t heard Voyage by Traces Traxx yet, what the hell are you even doing? Released back in 2013 under Germany’s D.Max Deep label, this sucker hits hard—and I mean hard. It’s not just another electronic album; it’s a full-on assault on your senses, but in the best way possible. The two tracks—yeah, there’s only two, so don’t get greedy—are fire. And trust me, they stick with you.
First up is “Voyage (Original Mix).” Damn, where do I start? This track grabs you by the throat from the first beat and doesn’t let go until the last synth fades out. It’s got that classic trance vibe—big, sweeping melodies, pounding basslines, and enough euphoria to make your head spin. What makes it unforgettable is how raw it feels. No overproduced nonsense here—it’s gritty, dirty, and straight-up relentless. You can almost smell the sweaty clubs of Berlin when this one drops. It’s like taking a shot of pure energy.
Then there’s “Voyage (N&R Project Remix),” which flips the script completely. These guys took the original and cranked it up to eleven. The remix slaps harder than your ex probably did after catching you texting someone else. It’s darker, heavier, and packed with these insane drops that feel like they’ll rip your speakers apart. Honestly, if this doesn’t get your blood pumping, check your pulse—you might be dead. The build-ups are killer too, teasing you just enough before exploding into chaos. I’ve listened to this thing at least fifty times, and it still punches me right in the chest every damn time.
So yeah, Voyage isn’t perfect. It’s short as hell, and some people might call it repetitive. But screw them. This album doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel—it runs you over with it instead. It’s unapologetically aggressive, chaotic, and addictive as hell. Listening to it feels like stepping onto a rollercoaster without a seatbelt—you know it’s gonna mess you up, but you love it anyway.
And hey, here’s a weird thought: for an album called Voyage, it doesn’t take you anywhere calm or peaceful. Nope, it drags you kicking and screaming through stormy seas and dark tunnels. Maybe that’s why I can’t stop coming back to it. Or maybe I’m just a sucker for music that fights back. Whatever the case, Traces Traxx nailed it with this one. Now excuse me while I crank this again and wake up my neighbors.
