The return of JK Walker is here!

It has been a long journey for John Stembridge, one that created the JK Walker alias that saw its peak in the height of the hard trance era, when the likes of Scot Project reigned at the top of the genre. A lot has changed since then, but JK Walker is still an alias that resonates with the clubbing fraternity of the time, their memories linked to many of his productions.

The JK Walker alias has now returned with a track that consolidates John's knowledge and styles to great effect. A track that sounds as unique now as any of his material from half a decade ago; Double Life. The original mix is, what could be considered as the new hard trance. Tough synths, a booming kick and an evil riff!

Label boss Activa is on hand with a Mekk-esque take on Double Life that adjusts the main riff to create an uplifting, but booming monster. The groove and drive of the remix reminiscent of Resistance, a track still revered by many trance fans.

Last but not least, Borderline regular Impulsive Drive with a techier remix which is much more groove driven with glitches galore!

A wide ranging package that will be sure to have something youll like!

Trance / Will Atkinson - Side by Side [Borderline]

Out on Beatport: 12th September 2011
Out in all download stores: 26th September 2011

Support from: Activa, MIKE, Greg Downey, Tom Colontonio, Scot Project, Indecent Noise, Paul Webster, Neal Scarborough, Simon Bostock, Mark Sherry, Dan Stone, DJ Ange, Akira Kayosa, Andre Visior, Sly One vs Jurrane, Thomas Datt and many more!

Will Atkinson makes his return to Borderline with Side by Side, a track which takes influence from older trance artists like Airwaves Velvet Girl alias.

Will's stock has been rising rapidly and is fully deserved as he shows his strong style and incredible production skills in tracks like Heartfelt, his last outing on Borderline and Empty Words and Lights Out on Discover Digital, as well as working alongside Nick Callaghan on Let Go and the massive F16 remix for Simon Patterson's Night Vision.

Side by Side once again, shows off Will's technical ability as a producer and engineer and his ability to incorporate different styles into his own unique sound by taking influence from older, more classic sounding trance.

John Dopping brings us a more psy orientated mix for his debut Borderline, presenting a much more underground style than what fans of Borderline are used to, but without compromising on quality and impact.

Marcos makes his long awaited return to the scene with a brand new original track on Borderline called Take Cover, featuring some awesome vocals from Helen Sylk.

The original is a strong and uplifting techy trancer as only Marcos knows how, with a rhythm fuelled break and one of the most intense buildups and dirtiest basslines we've heard in a while!

After a storming run of releases on the likes on Enhanced, Tool, Liquid and of course, Borderline, Sonic Element comes back to the label with a vengeance, with a massive remix that fuses a slightly psy element to normal uplifting trance. The result is a completely unique groove with that signature Sonic Element style.

With the excellent Sonic Element Remix already featured on Paul Oakenfold's 'Never Mind the Bollocks' CD, Take Cover looks set to be a big track this summer.

His follow up on Borderline, Blue Skies, raises the already high bar set by all his previous productions, blasts it into orbit and lays down the foundation for possibly the strongest and most unique Borderline release yet.

With an ethereal vocal and a melody you will find humming to yourself after just a few listens, the original mix pushes the boundary of trance, helped along by its groove laden bassline and unique percussion.

Future Sound of Egypt's rising star Bjorn Akesson takes the original on a power chord trip and adds more energy and drive to create a more peak time monster that looks set to secure Borderline as one of the strongest underground trance labels in the UK.

Mark Burton's Viper lands on Borderline for its 5th release and the last for 2010!

Mark's career has been building over the past months seeing his first release, The Fifth Element signed to Armada's 'Soundpiercing' sub label and released in early 2010 followed by 'Any Time Existence' in August this year on the Soundpiercing Selections compilation.

Viper, the debut release on Borderline is a dark driving techy affair with huge, evil acids and a dark sinister stabbing riff. A little less uplifting, in the more conventional sense, than usual but just as effective on the dancefloor's of the world.

The remix for the release comes from Finnish tech trance maestro Peetu S who turns in two versions of his storming mix. Both full of power, energy and basslines that will rip clubs a new one!
