June 5, 2022

Vanity In Mind - Sundown Escape on Beatport

I'm very happy to announce that my new melodic techno track "Sundown Escape" will be out on Beatfreak Recordings on June 10, 2022.

The revered Madrid-based label was founded in 1997 by D-Formation and has previously released music from producers such as Teenage Mutants, Dirty Doering and Hannes Bieger.

"Sundown Escape" is your personal ticket to a warm and dizzifying sunset party on the White Island of Ibiza, regardless of your current geographic location. Electrifying dub-style stabs and sweeping pads surround you while the hypnotic melody takes you into the sunset... and beyond!

In download stores, track is part of the compilation "Beatfreak Ibiza Melodic Vibes" and will initially be a download exclusive on Beatport, with other stores following two weeks later.

A shorter edit of the song will be released as a single on streaming services like on Spotify and others.
 

Out now: Cortexmaltex - Waterfall (Vanity In Mind Remix)

April, 2022

Cortexmaltex - Waterfall (Vanity In Mind Remix) on Beatport

My brand new remix of French producer Cortexmaltex's [Diynamic, Traum] track "Waterfall", out now on Traum Schallplatten!

Cortexmaltex - "Waterfall (Vanity In Mind Remix)" gives a more mellow and melodic spin to the original track.

Traum describes it colorfully:

 "Vanity In Mind puts forward his mellow and relaxed mood in combination with a
well-engineered production!

Notice bits of 70s synth sculpted/painted
ambience of galactic life sometimes
slightly baroque and romantic."

Out now on Spotify, Beatport, Apple Music, and other streaming services. I hope you will like it! 
 

New EP out: "Afterhours Blues"

March 25, 2022

Vanity In Mind – "Afterhours Blues" on Beatport

I'm proud to announce my brand new EP "Afterhours Blues" on the Spanish label Beatfreak's sub-label Beatfreak Limited! Out today on Beatport and streaming services!

On the title track, "Afterhours Blues", I have collaborated with the fabulous Swedish jazz trombonist Ulf Daneklev. Ulf's melancholic and smoothly gliding trombone phrases contrast and complement the electronic landscape in an interesting way.

"The Night Was Glorious" is a driven track with a dark bass foundation and syncopated percussion. A modulated synth lead builds from subtle to a big melodic peak.

"Days of Gold" has a nostalgic feel and features lead synths with heavy delay, arpeggios and an 80's style sawsynth riff.

Rounding off the EP is "Days of Gold (Cortexmaltex Remix)", where the French producer Cortexmaltex [Diynamic, Traum] transforms the original track into an intense and hypnotic experience.

Available on Spotify, Beatport, Apple Music, and other streaming services. Other download stores will follow in two weeks. Enjoy!

Available on Spotify, Beatport, Apple Music, Junodownload as well as other major stores & streaming services. I hope you like it!

"Green EP" out now!

October 22, 2021

Vanity In Mind – "Green EP"

I'm super happy to inform that my new 3-track EP "Green" is out today on German label Amber Blue/Amber Music Label Group!

The EP is called "Green" as the music has been inspired by nature, and the tracks are melodic techno and organic house.

Tracklist
1. The Garden of Earthly Delights
2. The Forest Awakens
3. By The Shimmering Oasis

"The Garden of Earthly Delights" has a moody atmosphere with a driving syncopated dark bassline and a cinematic soundscape. A plucky riff is eventually introduced as the melodic highlight. It aims to be both beautiful and scary, like the painting with the same name by medieval painter Hieronymus Bosch.

"The Forest Awakens" is a slowly evolving and dreamy track that features a rising and falling string section. An airy piano ad-libs notes and phrases on top, evoking a magical and otherworldly forest.

"By The Shimmering Oasis" is an organic house track that plays with dub-style echoes and features an Arabic scale melody.

The EP is described by the label as "Great productions, a lot of feeling, very varied and absolutely great produced. All attributes that make this release really special."

Out today on Beatport and Spotify as well as other major stores & streaming services. I hope you enjoy!
 

Vanity In Mind – "Daybreak" out now!

December 4, 2020

Vanity In Mind – "Daybreak" on Beatport

I am happy to announce that my new melodic techno track "Daybreak" is out today on "Tour de Traum XX" on German Traum Schallplatten.

Close your eyes and let yourself get carried away by the mesmerizing beats to an outdoor gathering. It's close to sunrise, the drums are pounding and pounding and the alluring synthesizer lines are dripping from above like snowflakes in summer. And just as you open your eyes the first rays of light stream through the misty air. It's Daybreak.

Described by the label as "fantastic, futuristic retro track, very nicely warped", "Daybreak" is a mysterious melodic techno track with some surprises.

Out today on Beatport and Spotify as well as other major stores & streaming services!
 

Vanity In Mind – "Neon Skin" is out!

July 10, 2020

Vanity In Mind – "Neon Skin" on Beatport

Hot on the heels of my EP release last week comes my new track "Neon Skin" on "Tour de Traum XIX" on German Traum Schallplatten.

Described by the label as "brilliant funky mutant disco", "Neon Skin" is a retro-futuristic melodic techno/house crossover. A firm beat and a bouncy Prophet 5 arpeggio form the basis of the track, with lead synths and lush pads on top.

I am so happy to yet again be featured on a very strong installment of the Tour de Traum compilation series!

Out today on Beatport and Spotify as well as other major stores & streaming services!
 

Vanity In Mind – "Far Out In Space" EP out!

July 3, 2020
Vanity In Mind – "Far Out In Space" EP on Beatport

Today sees the Beatport exclusive release of my new EP "Far Out In Space" on well-renowned Italian label Natura Viva, a techno & house label that actually just celebrated its 10-year anniversary.

The "Far Out In Space" EP is a trio of melodic techno tracks that draw inspiration from the same universal source: space.

Tracklist
1. From Another Planet
2. Shores Of Orion
3. The Space Between Us

"From Another Planet" is a driven track with a brassy Juno 106 synth hook and a female vocal sample from an old sci-fi movie.

"Shores Of Orion" slowly builds up the arrangement with a smooth Vangelis-style CS-80 synth lead sprinkling out notes on top.

"The Space Between Us" is an atmospheric track with huge swells, spacy effects and a feather-light arpeggio. The melancholic melody develops with improvisations by the end.

Available exclusively on Beatport from July 3.

Full release on August 3 on all other major stores & streaming services!
 

Zoi - "Fusion (Vanity In Mind Remix)" out on Traum!

March, 2020
Zoi - "Fusion (Vanity In Mind Remix)" out on Traum Schallplatten

I'm thrilled to present my melodic techno remix of Zoi - "Fusion", out today on revered German label Traum Schallplatten.

Zoi - "Fusion (Vanity In Mind)" is a deep and slowly evolving melodic techno remix that hypnotizes with a driving beat and an improvised analogue style synth lead, generating some serious after hours vibes...

Available on Beatport, Spotify, iTunes and SoundCloud as well as other major stores & streaming services!
 

"Fall Of Saturn" out on Traum!

Dec, 2019
"Fall Of Saturn" on Traum Schallplatten

I am so happy to be able to share my latest melodic techno tune with you! "Fall Of Saturn" is out today on "Tour de Traum XVIII" on legendary German label Traum Schallplatten.

"Fall Of Saturn" is a 10-minute hypnotic voyage with a cinematic space intro and slowly building themes and melodies. The track is inspired by science fiction movies, my fascination of the cosmos and by Greek composer Vangelis.

Available on Beatport and Spotify as well as other major stores & streaming services!

Space out!

"Moonlight Sonata" out!
June, 2017

 
Moonlight Sonata on Spotify
 
My new single "Moonlight Sonata" is out now on iTunes, Beatport, Spotify and all other major stores & streaming services!

The melodic genius Beethoven composed his timeless sonata in 1801 – this was back in the days of Napoleon! And although there probably never will be a tougher act to follow, I have now 216 years later humbly reinterpreted the sonata as a 138 BPM trance anthem as well as a neoclassical synthesizer chillout version.

"Moonlight Sonata" is out on La Isla Blanca Recordings.

Quasi una fantasia!
 

"Moonlight Sonata" on YouTube!
June, 2017

 
Below are full YouTube previews of two of the tracks from the upcoming release:
 
 
"Moonlight Sonata" is a melodic trance version of Beethoven's classical sonata. It contrasts a pulsating wordless vocal hook with Great Ludwig's timeless melodies, that are boldly featured for full emotional impact.

The serene breakdown features an otherworldly synth rendition of the main piano melody, but tears apart the tranquility with a piercing lead synth that eventually takes the 138 BPM sonata into its full melodic climax.
 
 
"Moonlight Sonata (Vanity In Mind Chillout Remix)" is a neoclassical synthesizer interpretation of the sonata's first movement in full.

It's performed on reverberated synth keys with the addition of subtle choir and harp parts. The second section melody is played by a lamenting analog style synth lead, lending the romantic movement an organic electronic feel.
 

Release date for upcoming track!
May, 2017

 
Moonlight Sonata on Spotify
 
Release date reveal: my next single will be out on June 7!

"Moonlight Sonata" is my trance adaptation of one of Beethoven’s most popular works, the “Moonlight Sonata” from 1801, or as it's called by its full name: piano sonata no. 14 in C# minor, "Quasi una fantasia", Op. 27, No. 2. Part I. Adagio sostenuto.

Get ready for some classic melodic trance!

February, 2015

 
 

Swedish pop artist 1987's amazing hit "Bomb" gets the Vanity In Mind treatment in this progressive house remix.

The remix transforms the epic and melancholic pop ballad into a house anthem, flirting with trance as well as 1980's pop sounds.

New single "Go Get Alice" out!
June, 2014

 
 
My new single "Go Get Alice" [Deep Forest/Redux Recordings] is now out on Beatport, iTunes, Amazon, Junodownloadand other major stores!and other major stores!

"Go Get Alice" is a progressive trance track with a pumping electro riff and a melancholic main melody. As suggested by the title, it has an Alice in Wonderland-inspired theme that combines a driven hook in a dark setting with dreamlike and playful elements, such as a fairytale-like waltz break.


The release includes an amazing remix by Russian producer Make One, that dials up the speed to an intense 138 BPM, providing the perfect driven trance banger for the peak time set.

In The Walz Remix, I developed the waltz break from the original mix into a full dreamy lullaby, contrasting the classical arrangement with a Moog-inspired synth sound. So if you can't get enough of the waltz break, this remix is for you!!
