When Aly & Fila released We Control The Sunlight back in 2011, it didn’t just become a track – it became a moment. Voted ASOT Tune of the Year, the collaboration with Jwaydan defined an era of euphoric, emotionally charged trance. Fast-forward to now, and FSOE kick off a huge year by revisiting this timeless anthem with a fresh remix package. Leading the charge in Part 1: Darren Porter.
Darren Porter approaches We Control The Sunlight with clear respect for the original’s legacy, while injecting it with his trademark high-octane uplifting sound. The remix locks in at 140 BPM, delivering a driving low end, crisp percussion, and soaring synth work that steadily builds toward a spine-tingling breakdown.
Jwaydan’s unmistakable vocal remains the emotional anchor – uplifting, hopeful, and powerful – before Porter unleashes a hands-in-the-air drop that feels tailor-made for peak-time festival moments. This is modern uplifting trance done right: energetic, emotional, and unapologetically euphoric.
What makes this remix shine is its balance. It doesn’t overwrite the DNA of the original; instead, it amplifies it for today’s floors. Porter’s sound design brings extra punch and clarity, while the arrangement keeps the journey flowing naturally – a proper rollercoaster from intro to final outro.
Alongside Fuenka’s progressive reinterpretation on the EP, this Darren Porter remix stands as the pure uplifting counterpart: faster, brighter, and laser-focused on maximum emotional impact.
