Release Notes
==========================================================================
"After a prolonged absence, Tom Trago returns to the Voyage Direct label
with his first solo single since 2013 an expansive trip into
intergalactic deep house territory that ranks as one of his most
emotionally charged moments to date. Tom has, of course, kept himself
busy, supplementing a non-stop schedule of DJ gigs, remixes and studio
collaborations (most notably with Night Slugs boss Bok Bok) with A&R
work for Voyage Direct. Over the last 18 months, the Amsterdam-based
producer has used Voyage Direct to promote the music of Dutch producers
old and new, including Aardvarck, Boris Werner, Maxi Mill, San Proper,
Elias Mazian and Magnesii. With Voyage Directs first label compilation
due later this spring, Tom decided it was time to deliver his first
material for the imprint since 2012. Hidden Heart Of Gold is undeniably
special a typically spacey and quietly soulful dancefloor epic that
stretches out majestically over 13 spellbinding minutes, and has been a
highlight of many of Toms club sets for the best part of 12 months.
Virtual waves of ambient chords shimmer between the speakers, rising and
falling as if drifting through time and space. Meanwhile, eyes-closed
melodies reminiscent of classic stargazing techno and disembodied vocal
samples ride a tough but unfussy machine drum rhythm and addictive
bassline. There are well-timed breakdowns and a gradual, enveloping
build towards a heart-breaking climax. Many listeners may feel
contrasting emotions; a sense of undiluted joy while dancing, perhaps,
but also the odd pang of melancholy when listening on headphones. Its
that kind of record. The tracks intergalactic, emotion-rich inspirations
are explored further on the flipside Ambient Mix, a winding, beatless
excursion brimming with hazy, late night beauty. Gentle and immersive,
it offers a grandiose, never-ending world in which to shed your
inhibitions. Shorn of the originals dancefloor paraphernalia, Toms
emotive, wide-eyed vision comes to the fore all sensual chords,
far-sighted pads and gentle, outer-space melodies. Like the A-side club
version, it may just take your breath away...."
