Announcing Trilogique 2 and 3

It is my great pleasure to announce you the release of not one but two sequels to my best-selling album Trilogique, released in 2006 originally.

Over the last two decades a lot of events changed the game in the music industry. The rise of Streaming, the downfall of music downloads, and the rebirth of physical media, the Covid 19 epidemic, and most importantly to many, the rise of awareness in regards to Climate change, deeply impacted by pressing and shipping too much plastic among others. On top of this, you might probably be aware of the fact I am now running everything independently, without the support of a label, but still with the miraculous help of some individuals, some of them have been around of ages, but slowly and surely I have new members joining the Airwave family. Thanks to them, today I’m finally able to bring new music to the world in a much more convenient context.

With all these factors into account, it’s my pleasure to welcome you on this new journey that is the release of over 50 singles over the next year. Basically each Friday sees a new single off Trilogique 2 and 3 being released on my new solo imprint, simply called Airwave Music.

So far we’ve already released the following: Extronic, The Principles of Forgiveness, Pacifica, I’m Not Rank 1, The World vs Spotify, Sunset of The Aegean Sea, and this Friday comes the newest single called Alexanderplatz. We’ve already gotten tons of support from Paul van Dyk, JOOF, Solarstone and Johan Gielen, just to name a few. And the more we release, the better it gets.

And last but not least, CD will be released, Trilogique 2 by the summer, and Trilogique 3 by the end of the year.

So watch this space, and keep an eye on my socials, Instagram, Facebook for all the other info. Alternatively you can also subscribe to my newsletter for regular updates and for the links to the weekly singles.

2022: the birth of my record label Progressions

Hello!

It’s been a while and what a crazy period it’s been… Here are some updates of what’s been going on with me.

After 25 years of collaboration, I have left my long time record label. I don’t wish to share all the details, but it was a necessary step in the direction I want to go. I will also no longer appear at these events, and my sets at Tomorrowland 2022, which were originally scheduled for 2020, were the last 3 ones.

Now begins an exciting new chapter and I am happy to announce my own new record label Progressions!

Progressions already has several new releases including: Adelaide’s Voyage – a 7 track EP of mine, and followed soon by my new single Kitchen Paper, Paper Towel – a techy progressive track I’m very happy with. More info coming this September ! I will also be releasing two collaborations with top vocalists from Belgium by the end of the year.

Plus, very soon will be releasing two singles by Christian Monique and Gai Barone on Progressions.

I’m also very happy to announce that my award-winning original soundtrack for Borrowed Time 3 was released earlier this month. A bit late I know! The OST album contains 39 music cues I made for this 3rd episode of this movie trilogy. I was especially honored to win 3 awards for this soundtrack. You will soon be able to buy the album in mp3 format on my store, and you can already listen on Spotify and Apple Music. The movie is available on Youtube, depending on the country you live in.

From now on I will be posting more here and we have great things in store for the next few weeks and months!

All the best,
Airwave

Airwave – Flying Paper Planes (Bonzai Progressive)

Airwave is back, and he’s here to give us yet another special track, constructed from his wonderfully creative mind. Flying Paper Planes is his latest creation and once again, he knocks it outta the park, as does Rick Pier O’Neil who returns to Bonzai Progressive on the remix. Airwave remains one of electronic music’s greats. His prolific prowess has stood him well throughout his career, earning him great respect among his peers and his worldwide fanbase. For us, it’s always a pleasure when he turns out new material and, no doubt, we can all say we’ve been extremely lucky to have witnessed his talent for over 20 years, here’s to 20 more.

Airwave takes us on a deep progressive journey with his Original Mix. Right from the off, you can feel the abyssal depth, manifested in tough beats and dark basses. Captivating voices slice through the murk, electrifying the atmosphere. The drum track is highly distinctive as an Airwave style, wide, tribalistic and dynamic with an accompanying cinematic trait. Tension builds with each added layer, with the voices playing a big part in the groove. On the break, swirling pads create a hair-raising experience before a rich melodic arpeggio comes through. That deep, rumbling bass remains for the break before the track slams back to full on mode with a flurry of voices. A wonderful piece, enchanting and dark and thought-provoking, not to be missed.

On remix duties we have Rick Pier O’Neil. Another veteran in the world of electronic music, Rick has delivered so many tracks over his long career. His last outing here, Itzamna, proved popular among many, as did his raft of other original and remixes he made for us over the years. Here, Rick lays out a superb, deep and chunky progressive slice. Taking cue from the original, Rick stays in the darker echelons of prog, where thick beats and sub level basses rumbles the bins. Slicing, cosmic FX and gritty notes add intrigue as a delicate arpeggio delivers a sweet melody. Enchanting voices give the track character and combine beautifully with the epic scale of the groove. The break reveals a deep hypnotic streak, complete with synth stabs which take us back to full-on mode for the duration. A top-notch effort that is not to be missed.
