Albion x The Thrillseekers – Air

Some tracks aren’t just songs—they’re moments in time, woven into the DNA of trance music. Albion’s “Air”, originally crafted by Ferry Corsten in 1997 under his Albion alias, is one of those ethereal masterpieces that shaped the genre’s early years. Now, The Thrillseekers has stepped in to breathe new life into this classic, delivering a rework that strikes the perfect balance between nostalgia and modern progressive trance.

At 135 BPM, this rework maintains the original’s dreamlike quality while infusing it with The Thrillseekers’ signature emotional depth. The production is crisp, with airy pads, warm basslines, and melodies that glide effortlessly over a rolling rhythm. The breakdown—a defining moment in any trance anthem—is where this version truly shines. The delicate harmonies float like weightless clouds, building up to an uplifting yet restrained drop that feels both powerful and serene.

Released on Armada Music, this update honors the spirit of late-’90s progressive trance, yet feels fresh enough to stand alongside today’s melodic and uplifting releases. Fans of Steve Helstrip (The Thrillseekers) will recognize his signature touch—soothing, immersive, and deeply emotional—making this more than just a rework; it’s a love letter to a golden era of trance.
