Few artists in the modern trance scene embody the spirit of the golden era quite like Factor B. The Australian producer, real name Brendan Blatt, has carved out a reputation as one of the genre’s most passionate purists, balancing euphoric nostalgia with forward-thinking sound design. His label Theatre of the Mind and debut album Bloom have cemented him as a central figure for fans craving that emotional, uplifting trance experience, free from compromise.
With “Breathing In”, Factor B delivers another statement of intent. First unveiled at A State Of Trance Rotterdam 2024, the track instantly connected with fans, not just for its soaring melodies but for its ability to conjure the very essence of why people fell in love with trance in the first place. The press text puts it simply: “Take a big breath in!”, and that’s exactly what this record feels like, a lungful of positive energy.
Musically, “Breathing In” showcases Factor B’s trademark craftsmanship. A driving, energetic bassline sets the pace before the centerpiece arrives: a monster nostalgic riff that recalls the emotional weight of early 2000s trance classics, yet is polished with modern production clarity. What makes the track stand out, however, is the mid-breakdown rhythm switch-up. Instead of leaning on a predictable build, Factor B injects a playful twist that suspends the listener in mid-air, intensifying the emotional release of the drop. The result is a track that is both familiar and refreshingly innovative.
Factor B’s music has always carried a mission: to keep trance pure, uplifting, and emotionally charged. “Breathing In” is a shining example of that ethos, offering fans a track that doesn’t just fill dancefloors—it leaves them walking away with a sense of euphoria and hope.
