First State feat. Anita Kelsey – Falling (Dave Neven pres. OCATA Remix)

The legendary First State – Falling gets a breathtaking rework, thanks to Dave Neven’s OCATA alias. This Vocal Trance masterpiece, clocking in at 129 BPM, is released under the prestigious Black Hole Recordings and delivers a euphoric, modernized take on a beloved classic.

For any trance fan, Falling is more than just a track—it’s an emotional time capsule, originally cemented into history with In Search of Sunrise 6. Now, Dave Neven steps in with OCATA to craft a remix that balances nostalgia with fresh energy. Having already lit up Markus Schulz’s mix on ISOS 20, its standalone release was inevitable.

From the very first beat, the remix sets a warm, atmospheric tone. Anita Kelsey’s ethereal vocals glide effortlessly over lush pads, and as the build intensifies, Neven introduces crisp, driving percussion and deep, rolling basslines. The breakdown is pure magic—delicate yet powerful—before a soaring lead synth lifts everything to euphoric heights. The drop? Absolute goosebumps.

⭐️ Rating: 9.5/10

🎧 Perfect for:

✔️ Late-night highway drives 🌌
✔️ Trance lovers craving deep nostalgia ✨
✔️ Uplifting festival moments 🎶

Neven’s OCATA remix brings Falling into the modern era while respecting its original essence. The slightly lower BPM compared to the 2007 version gives it a more progressive, melodic trance feel, perfect for deep, emotional DJ sets. This is the kind of remix that reminds us why we fell in love with trance in the first place. A must-add to your playlist!
