The Pure Progressive Extended Cuts EP consists of a euphoric though-provoking journey, a dark and motivational energy and finally a melodic wave of rhythm.

3 extended cuts from Disc 1 of Pure Trance Vol. 5 in all their glory. Moscow producer Evgeny Lebedev’s ‘Deep Thoughts’ is just that; deep and thoughtful, propelled by a cavernous portamento bassline & echo-chamber-esque plucks. Chicago’s Nick Stoynoff gives us ‘Omni’; an exercise in the craft of ‘less is more’ – a piece of music which uses expressive textures and hypnotic rhythms to create an immersive dancefloor atmosphere. ‘Utopia’ from Belgrade’s ‘Jelly For The Babies’ and fellow Serian ‘Odison’ uses layers of murky filtered piano, crisp percussion & a sonorous bassline to weave its own tapestry of progressive magic.
