Swedish trance maestro Bjorn Akesson returns with his latest creation, “Lightstream”, released on his label BA Origins, and once again proves why he remains one of the scene’s most respected producers of driving, melodic trance. Known for his distinctive sound that blends Scandinavian precision with emotional depth, Akesson has been a fixture in the uplifting trance movement for over a decade, with celebrated releases on Armada, FSOE, and his long-time collaborations with Aly & Fila’s Future Sound of Egypt label. His music has graced countless mainstages and radio shows, consistently bridging the gap between underground authenticity and peak-time euphoria.
Lightstream encapsulates everything that makes Akesson’s productions shine. At 130 BPM, it delivers a perfectly balanced energy—fast enough to set dance floors ablaze but restrained enough to let its melodies breathe. The track opens with a clean, propulsive drive, gradually building layers of shimmering arpeggios and sweeping atmospheres before unleashing its full emotional payload in the breakdown. Here, Akesson channels his gift for cinematic soundscapes, painting a luminous picture before the drop surges back with soaring synths and uplifting leads that feel both timeless and modern.
The production is sharp and uncluttered, with Akesson’s signature crisp percussion and weighty bassline giving the melodic elements all the space they need to lift listeners skyward. It’s a track that feels equally suited for the intimacy of headphones as it does for the vastness of a festival stage, trance at its most inspiring.
