After a notable hiatus, DuMonde, the iconic trance duo composed of Daniel Körber (D.Mand) and Jürgen Mutschall (JamX), makes a powerful return with their latest single “Dying Of The Light”, featuring the evocative vocals of Shaun Baker. Released on the respected label That’s Trance via ZYX Trance, this 142 BPM hard trance anthem is a brilliant fusion of classic trance energy with modern tech-infused elements.
DuMonde has long been a pioneer in the trance scene, since their breakthrough in the early 2000s, known for their signature tribal-style kicks and expertly layered sound design that bridges the euphoric and the driving. With “Dying Of The Light,” they revisit these strengths while injecting fresh intensity through hypnotic 303 acid lines — a defining characteristic of the track. These squelchy, modulated acid riffs weave effortlessly through gritty, layered basslines and techy drum patterns, creating a compelling groove that pulls listeners deep into the dancefloor experience.
Shaun Baker, famed for his infectious hit “Explode,” lends his distinctive spoken-word style vocals here, adding a poignant emotional dimension that elevates the track beyond a pure club banger. His voice brings a sense of urgency and storytelling that contrasts beautifully with the pulsating instrumentation, making the track as captivating to listen to as it is to dance to.
For fans of pure instrumental trance, an alternate version showcases DuMonde’s intricate soundscapes and production mastery, highlighting their ability to balance complexity with accessibility. “Dying Of The Light” ultimately stands as a testament to DuMonde’s enduring legacy in the trance world, proving they remain relevant and powerful producers in the genre.
