Ashley Wallbridge has long stood as a pillar in the trance and progressive house scenes, known for his emotionally charged melodies and anthemic production style. From his early work with Armada Music to co-founding the Garuda label alongside Gareth Emery, Wallbridge has consistently blended innovation with nostalgia — a trait fully embodied in his latest release, Eivissa, out now on Embrace The Journey.
With Eivissa, Wallbridge taps deep into the golden era of trance — the 90s — where Balearic sunsets, white isle memories, and massive club nights defined a generation. “A pure throwback to the golden era,” as Wallbridge himself puts it, the track is a blazing homage to classic trance with a modern, finely polished edge.
From the very first bar, Eivissa commands attention. A soaring piano hook immediately sets the tone — rich, euphoric, and unmistakably 90s. But it’s more than just retro flair; the track’s driving basslines and uplifting melodies inject a freshness that keeps it relevant for today’s trance floors. The breakdown swells with emotion, building toward a drop that releases in pure, unfiltered energy — the kind that makes your heart race and hands lift instinctively toward the sky.
True to its name, Eivissa (the Catalan name for Ibiza) carries the Balearic spirit at its core — sunny, free-spirited, and unrestrained. It’s trance music that feels like coming home for longtime fans, and a powerful introduction to the genre for newer ears.
Wallbridge’s production is flawless, walking the line between nostalgia and innovation. He doesn’t just recreate the past; he reinvents it with future-facing clarity. Whether you’re a vinyl-era veteran or a Spotify-born raver, Eivissa is a visceral reminder of why trance continues to inspire and endure.
