A beacon of hope for anyone who loves Trance music, Protoculture brings ‘The Descent’ to Armind to strengthen the genre’s legacy even further. Giving rise to this monstrous cut, the South African studio magician counted on a massive bassline and huge synths to do the trick. Coming from a powerful lineage, ‘The Descent’ will give all previous, current and future generations something to think about.

Protoculture is on of the kings of Progressive Trance

[@xRdlH]

And he was one of the kings of Progressive Psychedelic Trance

[@dear9111]

Affirmative!

[@allen0088]

DEAR Protoculture's edition of Trance World is the absolute best

[@NOTMuzzaFuzza]

Totally forgot about his prog psy years. He was fantastic at that.

[@rick_terscale1111]

"Progressive Trance"... now there's a genre I havent heard in years.
This tune is more Progressive than Trance.

[@TifaLovesStrife]

SOUTH AFRICA REPRESENTING!!!!!

[@elizbef-xz8wr]

This is totally mindblowing&somehow just like the best serotonin rush!!😚🙂

[@stevebutler3335]

Not only one of the best recent Trance tracks, gotta be up there with the best ever - absolutely fantastic!

[@pearcelyallmusic]

Still listening! One of the best trance tracks of all time!

[@mariano.mp3]

oustanding, been listening since I was 15, now I'm 21

[@marcoaurelio6941]

completly agree

[@Crimson9724]

I don't know what it is about 2017, but trance has been heading in an amazing direction. Already this year we've got The Descent, Higher Love, Enigma, Fall into You, Olympus, 1001, Falling Down, Saint Vitus, Saving Light, Frozen Ground, I could go on. Outstanding year for trance.

[@samysanbati6471]

Totally agree dude

[@charalamposskoulas9672]

Crimson9724 You forgot Pequod and 86 from Sunny Lax! ☺

[@Crimson9724]

Lol see? This is what I'm talking about! Already since I've posted we've had so many other gems released, it's crazy. Pequod / 86 was amazing. Also digging the newer tunes from Maglev and that White Island remix by Skylane. I can't pick a favorite!

[@YesSirPhil]

But: Still Trance is played less and less at dj gigs.

[@tranceismydrug1789]

Anjuna style.💙

[@CrysFz]

yes men

[@livius4278]

Trance Is My Drug YES... It looks like "hello" by Above & Beyond ... I like both them very much!!!

[@zero131056]

LOVE anjuna style.

[@ShatadruSensharma]

This is Anjuna-style done better than Anjuna themselves lol!

[@carlos3dwards]

Totally!

[@Kelsey_Games]

Goosebumps

[@brendok2750]

Protoculture has to be the top progressive trance producer on Armin's labels. This track is pure class.

[@Kelsey_Games]

Seriously... one of my favourite songs

[@CrysFz]

this is trance.... TRANCE!!!!

[@rick_terscale1111]

no, this is Progressive... too light on the Trance elements.

[@Djmarcod]

Rick Terscale This is Progressive Trance to the core mate. Most genres have a progressive sub genre. Progressive is not a genre of it's own.

[@CrysFz]

blablabla blabla this trancem shut up!

[@youweechube]

[@djkorpora]

[@aerodynamic17]

I knew it! Today was THE day!

[@Crimson9724]

I'm still a bit salty though, it's not out on Beatport yet and the extended mix hasn't landed on iTunes yet either - I've been waiting since January and it's still not "out" out yet.

[@mak3r94]

I bought yesterday this version via iTunes, the Single was available in my country so I did, but I checked it again today and wasn't listed on the Protoculture's releases, don't know why. But you can find it at Junodownload or Amazon.

[@Natt-do2fm]
