'Synapse' is the brand new album from Farius.
Enhanced Progressive is delighted to present the second artist album from British trance producer, songwriter and broadcaster Farius. Since making his debut on the label in 2019, Farius has established himself as a force in the trance music world through his releases on renowned labels like Enhanced, Anjunabeats, and Armada; he has delivered a host of standout releases including 2020 album 'From The Start', 2021 EP 'Diversify' and a plethora of impeccable singles; he has remixed artists like Tritonal, Audien, Gabriel & Dresden and Andrew Bayer; he has flexed his hosting skills as head honcho on the Enhanced Sessions weekly radio show; and he has toured the world playing shows for respected brands like ASOT in Mexico and The Netherlands, Dreamstate USA, Untold in Romania, and Sydney Mardi Gras, as well as most recently supporting Tritonal on their 2023 North American tour.
Now after releasing five first-rate singles in the build up, we arrive at 'Synapse', an album that sees Farius reconnect with his roots as a DJ and performer. The twelve tracks that make up the album are evidence of a producer who has honed his skills in sublime style, establishing a nice for himself in the world of trance while also expanding his sonic palette and exploring exciting new territory. He opens with a slower track in the form of 'N1 0XT' that sets the tone for the album in marvellous fashion, with its foley and snippets of conversation acting as a breather before getting into the rip-roaring energy of the following eleven tracks. 'I Surrender' follows, a hands-in-the-air anthem of a trance record that is Farius speciality; he carries this energy through to other tracks on the album like the Solarstone collaboration 'Barton Springs', 'Blue Skies', the thunderous 'Human Beings' with Eric Lumiere and the pure elation of 'Running' with Liu Bei. 'Electric Run' sees Farius explore the more chaotic, amped-up side of trance, he recruits the talents of musician Redfield for a unique blend of trance and disco on 'You Know (Disco Tool)', and 'Pressure' is classic trance in all its 140 BPM glory. We end on 'Is This Love?', a trance / drum and bass hybrid that is at once upbeat and packs a serious punch. Farius' love for dance music in all its forms is on display on 'Synapse' as he connects the dots across genres in truly singular fashion.
A few words from Farius:
'The search for what story I wanted to tell with this album took me back to the dancefloor. The connection and memories you make with friends on the dancefloor, the connection you make with the music, the new connections and shared moments you have with others. Immersing yourself in a totally uninhibited way so much that you lose yourself entirely in the moment with everyone around you, and ultimatelyconnecting with yourself through the music and discovering who you are. I know that's what I've done in life. Life particularly right now is so tough for so many people - I'm really hoping to capture that release and escapism we all get in music with this album. I want this to be an album about joy, positivity and the escape you feel when you're front and centre at a rave with your friends without a worry for whatever is around the corner in life.'
