Asteroid and Will Elixr dive into the deeper end of Uplifting Trance with “Submerge”, a powerful 140 BPM collaboration released through Unkonscious Recordings on July 10, 2026. Combining a forceful main-floor foundation with expansive atmospheres and an emotionally charged lead melody, the track is built for the euphoric high point of a Trance set.
Release facts: “Submerge” was released via Unkonscious Recordings on July 10, 2026. Running at 140 BPM, the collaboration is best described as melodic Uplifting Trance with peak-time drive.
Immersive Uplifting Trance with peak-time force
The title “Submerge” accurately describes the track’s effect. Asteroid and Will Elixr do not rush directly towards the main melodic payoff. Instead, they gradually pull the listener into an increasingly dense soundscape, allowing the atmosphere, rhythmic pressure, and melodic details to accumulate around the central theme.
A tightly controlled kick and rolling bassline establish the physical foundation. The production carries enough weight to work during the more energetic stages of a set, but its harder elements never overpower the melodic direction. This is not Tech Trance disguised by a breakdown; the emotional writing remains at the heart of the record.
Smaller synth phrases and atmospheric textures begin to reveal the track’s identity as the arrangement develops. Each additional layer increases the sense of scale without making the mix feel overcrowded. The result is purposeful and patient, using the extended structure to create anticipation rather than simply delaying the drop.
Melody and momentum in balance
The breakdown is where “Submerge” fully opens up. Expansive pads create a wide, immersive space before the lead melody rises through the arrangement. Its minor-key character introduces a touch of melancholy, but the track never becomes overly introspective. The tension is designed to be transformed into release.
Without a vocal narrative to guide the listener, the melodic progression carries the emotional story. Asteroid and Will Elixr rely on harmony, atmosphere, and changes in intensity to generate their impact. That instrumental approach gives the track a timeless Uplifting Trance quality while the production remains clean and contemporary.
The return of the rhythm section delivers the expected surge of energy, but the climax is euphoric rather than excessively aggressive. The central theme retains enough space to breathe above the bassline, giving the drop a feeling of openness that suits the track’s immersive concept.
Two complementary Trance identities
Asteroid has been developing his presence in international Trance since 2015, building a sound around energetic rhythms, emotional melodies and peak-time impact. His contribution to “Submerge” is most evident in its powerful low end and direct dance-floor momentum.
French-born and Hong Kong-based Will Elixr brings a complementary melodic sensibility. His musical background began with electric guitar before expanding into electronic production, helping shape an approach centered on melody and structure. That influence adds warmth and emotional definition to the collaboration.
Their respective strengths meet naturally here. Asteroid provides the physical force required for a 140 BPM main-floor record, while Will Elixr helps ensure the track’s impact comes from more than just speed and pressure.
TranceAttack verdict
Asteroid and Will Elixr deliver an uplifting instrumental that understands the value of gradual immersion. “Submerge” combines a strong 140 BPM foundation with atmospheric depth and a memorable emotional payoff, making it equally effective as a driving club record and a melodic set highlight.
The production does not attempt to reinvent Uplifting Trance. Instead, it concentrates on executing the style’s essential qualities with clarity: momentum, anticipation, melody and release. Its balance between muscular main-floor energy and spacious emotional writing makes “Submerge” a convincing collaboration—and a natural choice for the moment when a Trance set needs to move from intensity into full-scale euphoria.
