Few tracks in trance history resonate as deeply as Darren Tate & Jono Grant’s “Let The Light Shine In.” Originally released in the golden age of early 2000s trance, this anthem blended soaring melodies with heartfelt emotion—a true cornerstone of the genre. Now, Armada Captivating reopens the vault, handing the reins to one of trance’s most respected craftsmen: Nitrous Oxide.
Applying his signature twist while preserving the heart of the original, Nitrous Oxide delivers a remix that feels both nostalgic and forward-looking. With crisp percussion, shimmering pads, and that unmistakable emotive uplift, he translates the track’s deep personal significance into a production that oozes warmth and dancefloor power. This is not just a remix—it’s a re-dedication of love for the genre that inspired him in the first place.
Darren Tate has long been a versatile figure in electronic music, known under multiple aliases (DT8 Project, Jurgen Vries) and for his cinematic sound design that bridges the worlds of trance and progressive. Jono Grant, of course, is one-third of Above & Beyond and co-founder of Anjunabeats, one of trance’s most iconic imprints. His collaborations have helped shape modern melodic trance as we know it.
Nitrous Oxide (Krzysztof Pretkiewicz), hailing from Poland, is a true pioneer of the Anjunabeats era, responsible for timeless gems like “North Pole” and “Downforce.” His melodic sensibility and drive have cemented him as a fan favorite for nearly two decades.
With this remix, Nitrous Oxide not only reimagines a classic but reconnects with the very track that first pulled him into the world of trance—a beautiful full-circle moment. It’s a shining example of how timeless melodies can be reborn with fresh energy while retaining their soul.
