Talla 2XLC 'Arcadia' (Critical Uprising)
Over the course of his 20-year career, Germany’s Talla has become known for his peak-time records, building a reputation for himself as a master of euphoric and progressive trance. ‘Arcadia’ is composed of a wide variety of acoustic elements, including powerful, full-bodied chord synths and a beautiful dreamy break which builds with so much anticipation you feel a little cheated by the drop, which deserves to be much bigger. That said, it’s perfect for the dancefloor thanks to the way it balances energy and pace with opportunities to catch your breath.
