Fuelled with warm beats, blue-sky melodies and energy, the up and coming talent provides us with 'Amplify' and '550'. Mister 'Skyfire' has landed another magical duo. Growing into one of EDM's most promising names, ever since bursting onto the scene with 'Nadia', 'Save Me' and 'Imprisoned', have made the expectations rise high. But Andrew Chen climbs on top, presenting his new duo 'Amplify' and '550'.

'Amplify' is a solid and powerful track, driven by melody and hitting in exactly where it needs to. '550' is an ode to the A State of Trance 550 celebration, and nearly made it as the winner of the anthem competition. Though the ASOT550 world tour has passed, the music inspired by it will last.

With '550', Shogun brings out a strong trancer with techy elements and a fulfilling payoff.

As always, the choice of these 20 songs was very difficult. I've listened to more than hundreds of tracks this year, and for me, the tunes that are in my top 100 are already masterpieces. I think those that give me the most chills make the difference. I want to thank you for your support during this year and I hope in 2012 I keep sharing my passion of trance with you!

Kurt Baggaley is one of the UK’s most experienced electro producers, but he divides his attention on ‘Planetoid’. ‘Right Ascension’ is a stripped-back house groove and the title track is a grimy acid number with a terse vocal about experiencing fear. That all said, Baggaley sounds at his most comfortable here when he explores expansive synth sounds and both ‘Europa’s Secret’ and the ponderous bass of ‘Distinct Century’ are among the most memorable electro tracks you’ll hear this year — or any year. Spare '1BLT' Coyote. I’ve got a lot of time for Spare and for the Coyote label in general, considering how they’ve taken a very personal approach to releasing grime music on vinyl. Knowing all that though, it really feels like they’re trying to balance Spare’s music across the four tracks. The darker cuts like ‘1BLT’ and ‘Boss Hog’ may contrast with the meandering synths of ‘Glide’, and the oddly-titled ‘Venom’, but the raw stuff completely outshines the melodic ones, and then some.

Safire, Amoss feat Gusto '4th State (Icicle Remix)' Plasma Audio. You'll have to excuse the exceptionally high ratings in this month's reviews, but it has been an exceptional month of music in our scene. Following the success of a collaboration with Isaac, 'Digital Playground', Technoboy has been drafted in to remix house superstar Benny Benassi. This is an awesome hardstyle reinterpretation of the original — with high-energy kicks and electro-style bass, this track has so much groove underneath the hard shell, there is no doubt this one is going to be a crossover hit in so many genres when it drops. Fabio XB & Christina Novelli 'Back To You' DS-R. Adam Rivet has built up a small but perfectly formed catalogue of trippy techno, but 'Bear Bile' sees him venture further down the wormhole than before.

It begins so unobtrusively, with stepping rhythms and metallic drums, but then psychedelic synths swirl in menacingly and vocals like tortured souls trapped in a nightmare insinuate themselves into the foreground. By the time the ear-shredding electronic noise on ‘Part 2’ dominates the spectrum, your battered ears will be begging for the melodic release of ‘Part 3’.

Darkhouse Fam 'Brockwild EP' Earnest Endeavours. The Welsh production duo Darkhouse Fam return to Earnest Endeavours for their second EP outing. Admittedly utilising a lot of the same production techniques that made them jump out so large the first time round, that’s precisely what’s so pure and heavy about beats like ‘Brockwild’ and ‘Elephant Large’. They’re not rocket science, but they bang so gorgeously that they become rewarding in a higher way, kinda like how it feels reading a book on the bus every morning. Monsieur monsieur 'Bromance 14' Bromance. Ottawa doesn’t automatically spring to mind as a hot bed of musical talent (and no, Alanis Morissette does not count), however The Soul Jazz Orchestra have been ploughing a lonely furrow from the city for some time, with releases on John Kong’s Do Right! Label before moving to the Strut label.

Lifted from forthcoming LP ‘Inner Fire’, ‘Celestial Blues’ is of course a cover and a faithful one at that, of the Gary Bartz classic that adds its own nuances whilst still maintaining the yearning appeal of the original. Xhin 'Claw Eyes' Semantica.

It looks like Svreca’s label is going to continue in the same manner this year as in 2013, putting out a high volume of electronic music. What sets Semantica apart from other labels is its seeming disregard for dancefloor constraints. Accordingly, this release from Singapore’s Xhin pays lip service to 4/4 workouts — in the shape of the bleepy rhythm of ‘Else’ — and instead features the subtle pitter-patter beats of ‘Claw Eyes’ and the majestic textures of ‘Curtain Cloud’. Turbo Turbo & S-File 'Contact' GND. Despite only having been producing electronic music for a couple of years, Sam Cassman, aka Lorca, has chalked up a sturdy hit rate, notably his pivotal remix of Ghostpoet's 'Cold Win' and the clattering groove 'Can't See Higher' on Dummy Magazine's label.

This latest is for Ben 'Breach' Westbeech's Naked Naked label, and he's nailed the sound straight off the bat. 'Forgive Me Love' rattles its way to a blistering climax, with pulsing electric pianos and yearning vocals. 'Naoko' and its clockwork groove is every bit as charming too. Scram Jones 'Fork In the Road' Scram Jones Music. Eminem's scratch-DJ offa 'Berzerk' goes solo and awww, just love this — something to do with Scram's hyperkinetic funkativity, a speed and pace and unstoppable sense of fun all too lacking in rap at the moment, something to do with the hook, which goes for plaintive and poignant and unforgettable (unlike so much of the in one ear, out the other bragging-bullshit that passes for choruses so often these days), something to do with the absolutely fantastic video that combines Anime-weirdness with Sesame-Street style movement to delicious-fresh effect. From 'The Hat Trick' EP out now and judging by this, essential. Mikey V 'Freaks on the Floor EP' Classic.

More 'classic' Classic here, after last month's solid turnout from Dan Beaumont, continuing the label's hot streak that started back in 1995. Here LA's Mikey Velazquez proffers 'Freaks', a track straight from Derrick Carter's school of boompty (if only that were a real school), all wobbling bass and skippy hats. 'Memories' recalls the glory days of Cajmere's Chi-Town standard Relief, a dark, sparse and slightly mental groove that will make you think you're hearing voices. Claptone 'Ghost' Exploited. Deliciously mucky dub disco from YoungTEE, extolling the seedy virtues of illicit encounters arranged on the internet and consummated in the discotheque. Heavy-breathing, grunting, skittering percussion — there's a lot to love. Over, 'The Way You Kiss' ups the funk quotient, a UR-style slap bassline driving matters, and much talk of derrieres.

South Soul Project rework 'Grindr', but Hot Chip's Joe Goddard turns in a stunning take on 'The Way You Kiss', with a deliberately disorientating climax guaranteed to fuck with people at 4am. Giuseppe Ottaviani feat Alana Aldea 'Heal This Empty Heart' Black Hole Recordings. Got to admit that after a couple of years of mediocrity Cam got back to his best with last year's 'Ghetto Heaven' mixtape, so my ears were pricked for his next opus, which turns out is gonna be an EP with A-Trak called 'Federal Reserve'. If 'Humphrey's anything to go by it might be almost as good as that mixtape — beautifully executed '70s pop-soul samples just the right side of unplaceable, and commanding, compelling rhymes from the Cam. Welcome back to the right side of niceness. Mako, DLR, Villem & Ant TC1 'Hungry For Atmosphere' Metalheadz.

The name Ivy Lab has become synonymous with sheer perfection. The tracks are as enchantingly beautiful and as scientifically precise as the outfit's signature would suggest.

This gloriously divine piece sees the trio again collaborating with the transcendental voice of Frank Carter III to heavenly effect. This stunning liquid roller will warmly wrap around and entangle itself into every element of your body and soul. The rest of the EP offers experiments with acid tech and crunk, and features the mighty Emperor.

You can't miss this one. Talents, and we expect nothing less from a collective of this calibre. Cool as a cucumber, this track oozes class, and clocking in at over seven-and-a-half minutes it takes a full and thorough opportunity to weave itself in and out of the different styles which dominate the deeper end of the spectrum, as well as the different flavours of each contributor. Bodhi 'I Need You' Ten Thousand Yen. This is the second release from Maxi Mill on fellow Amsterdam resident Tom Trago's Rush Hour diffusion imprint Voyage Direct, and it's already finding favour with the likes of Larry Heard, Laurent Garnier, Surgeon and Ewan Pearson, so it's probably worth investing in on spec.

Luckily, but perhaps not surprisingly, it's ace too, 'Lost & Found's blissful, spacey atmosphere proving a perfect foil for 'Speed Balance Weight's pulsing, percussive tech. Really very good stuff indeed. Barely Alive 'Lost in the Internet EP' Disciple Records. The name Ivy Lab has become synonymous with sheer perfection. The tracks are as enchantingly beautiful and as scientifically precise as the outfit's signature would suggest.

This gloriously divine piece sees the trio again collaborating with the transcendental voice of Frank Carter III to heavenly effect. This stunning liquid roller will warmly wrap around and entangle itself into every element of your body and soul. The rest of the EP offers experiments with acid tech and crunk, and features the mighty Emperor. You can't miss this one, TPS Fam 'Monday Blues ' Revorg Records.

Fuck the Boomtown Rats, this is surely the greatest track ever about just exactly how massively soul-destroyingly a pain in the arse it is getting yourself out of bed on a Monday morning. 'FUCK A JOB' goes the hook, 'rage built up and I've only been up for an hour', every line a pearl of poetic wisdom that all of us wage slaves will empathise with hugely. Love the almost-Specials-like deadpan oddity of the chorus too and there's so many killer little lines you might miss it's a definite rewind all weekend.

Pump loud on your daily commute and FUCK A JOB. Anthony Collins 'Natural History Exhibit F' Scissor & Thread. Saving this double-header for his own Scissor & Thread label, Brooklyn's most prolific Anthony Collins pulls out some deep and emotive house music in 'Panther Lies', a fluid, breakbeat houser in the finest old school tradition, featuring some thoroughly gorgeous pianos. It just rolls. Over on the flip, 'Union Block' is bass-loaded, percussive perfection, an unstoppable force of nature, a chugging chuggathon. Did I mention it chugs? Well it really, really does.

A State Of Trance Cd

TEETH 'Need A Refix' White. Steve Strange and co.

Revive their pioneering new-romantic outfit Visage again for a third single from their 'Hearts and Knives' album. This bombastic rock-disco affair, less the icy cool of what they were in the '80s pop charts, comes with a heavy payload of alternative remixes. Jon of the Pleased Women — legendary handbag house DJ of the mid '90s — drops a pulsating electro-disco version alongside a chugging, smacky techno mix from B.G. Baarregaard & Space Coast. The highlight, however, is a Moroder-inspired fix from the ever excellent Bottin.

Teddy Killaz 'New Drums VIP' Bad Taste Recordings. Delsin ventures into the farthest depths of deep space techno with this release. ‘Nocturnal Passions 1’ is led by waves of trancey synths and even some plink plonk beats, while Area 41 goes deeper on ‘Reminiscence’ and ‘Nocturnal Passions 2’. Both are dreamy, ambient excursions that unfold gently but with that melancholic air that Delsin releases are synonymous with. The dramatic melodic twists and turns on ‘Isolated Soul’ round off a release that recalls the glacial ambient techno of Detroit Escalator Company. Girls of the Internet 'Prostate Exam' West Norwood Cassette Library.

The somewhat anonymous Girls of the Internet — there’s no concrete proof as to their sexuality or even if there’s more than one of them — hit out with a rather explosive four-tracker on one of South London’s strongest imprints, West Norwood Cassette Library. Stringently analogue and touching on acid elsewhere, it's the opener, ‘Prostate Exam,’ that's the most rugged, its lopsided synth lines dissipating in the wake left by the combusted flam of the kick drum. Tangle 'Radiate/Aquarius' Vandit Records. Audiofreq has been fast on the rise in the hardstyle scene over the past few years, catching the attention of some of the biggest legends, promoters and clubbers alike. So with this in mind, it's no real surprise that Audiofreq was awarded the honour of writing the anthem for the Belgian super-rave, Reverze. Rather than adopting the over-dramatic anthem formula, the Aussie hardstyler's opted for an emotively euphoric approach which ticks all the important 'anthem' check boxes, but also leaves us with a track that will live on in DJs' sets long after the event has passed. Samrai 'Riddim Trax' Niche & Bump.

The first release from one half of the Manchester based Swing Ting duo, Samrai, is surfacing on the WIFEY affiliated Niche & Bump label. The reason I’ve name-checked those two club nights in the opening sentence will become more than apparent if you hear the thing out — it’s so perfectly constructed with big rigs in mind. With ‘Concrete Riddim’s punishing dancehall double pump supporting ‘Problematic Riddim’s awkward buoyancy perfectly, there’s a whole lot to love. Franz Ferdinand 'Right Action (Remixes)' Domino.

With the Qult parties in Hollandt parties in Holland selling out and growing, and an underground scene which is expanding at a rapid rate, this sound seems to have attracted many new producers and also established producers, creating alter egos to generate stripped-back sub-heavy sounds. This release from new act Reinweiss is reminiscent of mid-'90s German techno releases with stripped-back sounds, a heavy subby kick and even '90s influenced claps, as well as using the vocal from a 2 Unlimited record. Selling out and growing, and an underground scene which is expanding at a rapid rate, this sound seems to have attracted many new producers and also established producers, creating alter egos to generate stripped-back sub-heavy sounds. This release from new act Reinweiss is reminiscent of mid-'90s German techno releases with stripped-back sounds, a heavy subby kick and even '90s influenced claps, as well as using the vocal from a 2 Unlimited record. Freddie Gibbs & Madlib feat Earl Sweatshirt & Domo Genesis 'Robes ' Rappcatts.

So how far-out-as-fuck can the music be the rapper is rapping over before it stops being hip-hop? To be sure, FG, ES & DG are all found rapping on this, tripping out from internal monologue to spinning planetary motion in the space of a syllable.

As to what the fuck Madlib is doing, your guess is as good as mine — totally strung-out black sci-fi madness halfway 'tween Sun Ra and Rotary Connection. Not entirely sure how to USE this music but goddamnit — if Mario Kart 13 has a Rainbow Road on it THIS needs to be the soundtrack. Tune in, freak out. Bigtopo 'Sequences' Beating Music. This is Costelloe’s first release under his own name, and it sounds like he has spent years honing his craft. ‘Disparate Similar’ is a beautiful, atmospheric electro track, very much in the ERP mode, while ‘Moon Transmission’ lends some dancefloor bias to Costelloe’s masterfully sleek synths via slinky drum patterns.

The remixes are top-notch too; Simoncino drops the classic house fixation for a Detroit electro take on ‘Disparate Similar’, while Dublin house duo Slowburn deliver a sterner house version of ‘Moon Transmission’. Based on this release, Costelloe and his label are ones to watch. Laxx 'Step One EP' Never Say Die. It's tracks like this that remind you just how far behind life, how far from art so much mainstream rap is right now. 'The Guilt' is a stunning vignette of loss, bereavement and the scars left in the hearts of those that know and the lives of communities left in hell.

Gorgeous production from Bronze Nazareth forms a noir-ish grainy, rain-pelted backdrop to the grimness contained lyrically, Willie telling the story with total clarity and conviction. A track you have to rewind a few times to truly feel its devastating impact. Superb stuff. Vellico 'The Pennines EP' Snowfall.

Vellico are Ross and Alistair Tones. Ross, for some background, is also Throwing Snow and Snow Ghosts, and boss of his own label Snowfall. There is a chilly pattern emerging. The 'Pennines EP' (the boys are from Weardale in the North Pennines) is anything but, however, the title track imbued with warming synths and a zesty, percussive loop. '133G' is a dubbier number, with echoes from First Choice's standard 'Love and Happiness'.

'Becks Brew' is darkest disco, while 'Peace Signal' is abrasive and brilliant. Dirty Dike 'The Sloshpot EP' High Focus Records. Like his previous release on TLR’s label, on ‘Time Will Tell’, UK producer Myriadd is hardly re-inventing the wheel. Inspired by classic Larry Heard as well as the primal funk of Ron Hardy and Adonis, tracks like ‘Forever Yours’ and ‘Golden Section’ succeed in striking a balance between this source material by fusing furious rhythm tracks with eerie, atmospheric synths. Unlike many of the Chicago-influenced releases doing the rounds, the arrangement and execution of ‘Time’ is flawless. The Souls feat Bnann 'Tonight' Diamonds & Software. Diamonds & Software work a charming PR spin for this new one from The Souls ahead of its mid-February release, “an apocalyptic love song for Valentine’s Day”.

Penned by Nick ‘New Sins’ Philips, ‘Tonight’ is a haunting torch song that laments lost love, but eschews conventional gothic pop cliche, with treated string arrangments and unique vocal performances from Valerie Edmond and Bnann. Craig Bratley makes an appearence as remixer, operating around his signature mid-tempo for a chugging, dark and broody club version. The Beat Broker 'Tower of Power EP' Bearfunk. There's more gems coming through from the late Romanthony's back catalogue, thanks to Kevin McKay's Glasgow Underground, and it's his 1995 classic vocal 'Trust' which is next up. Roman himself had earmarked Danilo Plesow, aka Motor City Drum Ensemble, for some remix treatments before his death last year, and so he turns out something truly special here.

McKay and Freeform Five aim straight for the jugular with an acidic workout, while Audiojack's version keeps it classic, in the vein of Kerri Chandler's stunning garage remix of the original back from 2001. Dj Q 'Trust Again Remixes' Local Action White. Enlisting producers like Rabit, Inkke, Compa and Major Grave to remix DJ Q and Louise Williams' ‘Trust Again’ was always going to yield pretty drastic results, but it's testament to their individual outlook that the approaches all bear discussing. Rabit’s hard strung 8-bar punch, Inkke’s orchestral pomp, Compa’s levitating bass weight and Major Graves' show-stopping see-sawing mid-range riffery all factor the original differently. I'm still not sick of the vocal after repeated listens either. Pinch & Mumdance 'Turbo Mitzi/Whiplash' Tectonic. With previous outings on GND and now releasing on BNR Trax, Hoshina Anniversary obviously has great taste when it comes to choosing labels for his tunes.

The Tokyo-based DJ/producer comes up with another great four-tracker to mark the occasion, with 'Unison' giving a cleverly percussive techno taster to start things off. 'Extra' and 'Breakout' take things up a little whilst closer 'Catherine' adds some mutant funk to the proceedings. Giorgio Moroder V’s I-Robots 'Utopia – Me Giorgio' Deeplay Digital. A very sympathetic re-edit from I-Robots who extracts ‘Utopia’ from the ‘From Here To Eternity’ LP courtesy of the legend that is Giorgio Moroder. In its original format it clocks in at a brisk three-and-a-half mins, but like so many of these gems was crying out to be extended and re-introduced to a new audience of disco-hungry middle-aged men with ‘fashion’ beards. And so the deed has been done with the new version nipped, tucked and extended to seven minutes of proto choral techno joy. Investigate and party like it's 1977.

Various 'Vectors' Power Vacuum. 'Vectors' is an apt name for the angular, mathematical progeny incumbent on this four-track EP. Leading the Pythagoras charge is Objekt’s 'Balloons', which does less floating and more deafening crunchy white noise feedback with mach-10 basslines. Joe Farr and J.Tjin get superbly funkified in the adjacent techno realm, along with the brutalist square root of Positive Merge’s ‘Note’. Leaving An-I to square things off with ‘Convo’, a Sumerian times-table recorded on a Fisher Price toy.

DJ Woody & Clicktrax 'Vodum EP' DJ Woody Music. A quality EP from the underrated DJ Woody (remember the outstanding ‘Country Practise’ mix LP with Sean Vinylment?) who pairs up with Clicktrax, the onetime drummer with Sirconical and Graham Massey’s Toolshed project to embark on his most progressive project yet.

Lead track ‘Vodium’ is where it’s at, with a distinctly moody Eastern feel, deft surreptitious scratching and the percussive prowess of Clicktrax giving it the live feel. The de-constructed edit on ‘Tusaas’ is worth a peek too.

Johann Stone 'Volcano' Wake Your Mind/Armada Music. Berlin gets all the hype, but the truth is that Dutch labels have put out far more impressive music in the past few years. Dekmantel is a good example; they released Amsterdam-based Juju & Jordash’s excellent ‘Techno Primitivism’ album and now release ‘Salad’. ‘Third Planet From Altair’ starts with jittery, spacey synths before being led by crashing beats and raucous percussion. The title track is brighter, more melodic and upbeat, but it too is underpinned by a psychedelic sensibility.

Maybe it’s something they put in the water? Antolini & Montorsi 'We Are Back (Vocal Mix)' Hard Progress Recordings. You may be mistaken for placing North Londoner Kwesi Darko AKA Blue Daisy as a West Country resident given his intense, smoke-laden productions. With downbeat remixes already in the can for Jon Phonics, Kidkanevil, Stac and a long-player already warmly received, it's time to unleash the next instalment. No less dark and foreboding, ‘Psychotic Love’ takes no prisoners with its atmospheric leanings, with ‘Devil's Pie’ alongside the lead track leading the albeit slo-mo charge. Headman 'Relish EP V' Relish.
