When two driving forces of the modern tech-trance and hard trance resurgence collide, expectations are naturally sky-high—and “Future” by David Forbes & Paul Denton delivers with unapologetic intensity.
Released on Who’s Afraid Of 138?!, the track is a no-compromise statement piece that taps straight into the raw, high-energy DNA of peak-time trance floors. At 140 BPM, “Future” wastes no time: pounding kick drums, acid-tinged sequences, and razor-sharp percussion build a relentless framework that feels engineered for the biggest festival stages.
David Forbes, a long-standing pillar of the harder trance spectrum, has spent decades shaping the underground with his signature blend of techno-influenced trance. His releases on labels like Aria Digital and Subculture have cemented his reputation as a master of driving, no-frills energy. Paul Denton, on the other hand, has risen as one of the most consistent names on the Who’s Afraid Of 138?! roster, known for his precision-crafted productions and explosive DJ sets, often championed by artists like Armin van Buuren.
“Future” feels like a natural meeting point of their styles. The breakdown is deliberately restrained—no overindulgent melodies, just a tense, futuristic atmosphere that builds anticipation. When the drop hits, it’s pure impact: gritty synth stabs, rolling basslines, and a groove that locks you in instantly. There’s a subtle nod to classic hard trance aesthetics here, but the production is unmistakably modern—clean, punchy, and designed for today’s sound systems.
Social media teasers from both artists hinted at a “no-nonsense club weapon,” and that’s exactly what this is. No gimmicks, no distractions—just raw energy and precision.
