When two of the Netherlands’ finest trance minds collide, you know something special is about to hit the speakers. Allen Watts and Leon Bolier—both names synonymous with power, precision, and melodic mastery—have joined forces on “Afterglow,” an electrifying release that’s as emotionally resonant as it is engineered for peak-time madness.
Allen Watts, known for his relentless drive in the 140 BPM territory and his leadership as the head of High Voltage Recordings, has become a staple in the uplifting and tech-trance world. With releases on labels like Who’s Afraid of 138?! and Armada, his productions are revered for their explosive energy and no-compromise intensity.
Leon Bolier, a name that needs no introduction in the trance and progressive community, is a Dutch titan who carved out his place in the scene with legendary releases on Spinnin’ and A State of Trance. While his musical journey has explored house and techno in recent years, his return to trance feels like a hero’s welcome—and “Afterglow” proves his melodic instincts are sharper than ever.
From the very first beat, “Afterglow” launches listeners into a full-throttle journey. Bolier’s signature chord stabs inject emotional tension and cinematic depth, while Watts ensures the track never loses momentum. The acid line that simmers beneath the surface adds a touch of grit, creating contrast against the track’s more euphoric elements. When the melodic drop hits, it’s pure hands-in-the-air bliss—a moment engineered for massive festival stages and late-night club euphoria.
The fusion of Allen Watts’ high-octane style with Bolier’s melodic craftsmanship results in a production that feels both nostalgic and future-focused. “Afterglow” isn’t just another trance banger—it’s a statement of synergy between two seasoned artists who understand the genre’s roots and its evolution.
