John O’Callaghan’s thrown down a major gauntlet for himself in 2025. “Ten tracks. One a month. All trance. No distractions. No detours. Just focus on what I love: the late-night studio obsession! Let’s see where the road leads.

Well game-on then …

Turns out his first stop is in ‘Memphis’, which John characterizes through an intricately crafted, melodically advanced, soul-touching release, that arrives through all channels today.   

As John notes, the track had an ASOT-studio-to-air time of just three hours. ‘Memphis’ had its worldwide ID reveal on ASOT tonight. Sent it in at 4 pm and by 7 or 8, it was on the airwaves. This one is special to me”, he continues. “It embodies everything I talk about when I mention the quest for perfection in trance—that elusive feeling, the pursuit of something deeper. I’m constantly honing my craft, and this track represents exactly what I mean when I say I’m trying to push myself forward. If I’ve only got a few years left in this game, this is the kind of music I want to make.

That specifically is a melodically-hooked number, which up top shimmers with pianoforte, hailing vocally harmonics, subtly urging synths and is awash with seaside atmosphere. Down below however beats the heart of trance titan, and one that wants for nothing come dancefloor primetime. Head down to ‘Memphis’ with John today. subculture.lnk.to/Memphis

Driftmoon – High Wall

Tim Stark

‘High Wall’ unlocks the door to Driftmoon’s Sōnnux Music – the new recordings home that Juraj Klička, and Miikka Leinonen have built themselves.   Following the duo’s reunification in ‘23, when Miikka rejoined as a fulltime member, the pair have been on the march, not least with December’s extraordinary concept album, ‘Moonstruck’. Now, with Sōnnux, […]

Frankyeffe – Out Of This World EP

Tim Stark

Frankyeffe’s calling it an “EP”, though others might argue it’s closer to a full album. Either way, ‘Out Of This World’ makes one thing abundantly clear: when it comes to midnight studio oil and full-throated clubland firepower, Italy’s Francesco Fava’s not a man to do things by halves. Fresh from his ‘One More Night’ outing […]

Push – Known Universe

Tim Stark

This summer, Push returns to the album format with ‘Known Universe’ – the eighth longplayer in his eminent career. That ‘known universe’ specifically is the hardware-driven studio world that shaped his earliest work.

Ready to do it to the summer, before the summer does it […]

Waking Up In A Northern Town by Christian Burns
