Universal NationPush

Push – Universal Nation

A legendary trance track released back in 1998 continues to be cherished on dance floors around the world.

Produced by Belgian artist Mike Dierickx under his Push alias, this piece was created in only about four hours of studio work, yet it stands as a monumental classic of the genre.

Running nearly ten minutes at 138 BPM in D-sharp minor, the track weaves together a punchy kick with airy, floating synth pads to deliver a soaring, melodic euphoria.

Its title—reportedly inspired by the 1997 Love Parade in Berlin—reflects a sense of unity and timelessness.

It’s a must-listen not only for those who lived through trance’s golden era, but also for anyone seeking deep immersion in classic trance sound.

Adagio For StringsTiësto

Tiësto – Adagio For Strings

A miraculous track born from the fusion of a classical masterpiece and trance.

Tiësto boldly reimagined Samuel Barber’s solemn string piece into a 4/4 dance beat, releasing it as a single from the album “Just Be” in January 2005.

Preserving the original’s sorrow and grandeur while injecting trance’s signature build-ups and drops to create euphoria, the approach shocked the club scene of the time.

It reached No.

37 in the UK and No.

20 in Ireland, and in 2013 was voted the second greatest dance track of all time by Mixmag readers.

A daring work that transcends the boundary between classical and electronic music, it has become a festival staple.

A must-listen for those seeking a dramatic progression.
