Johan Gielen pres. Airscape feat. Shakespeakers – Nordic Chant

When it comes to trance legends, Johan Gielen needs no introduction. As a pioneering force in the genre, he’s consistently pushed boundaries with his Airscape alias. His latest release, Nordic Chant, featuring Shakespeakers, is a shining example of how classic trance energy can blend seamlessly with modern production finesse.

From the very first beat, Nordic Chant sets an atmospheric tone. At 134 BPM, it strikes the perfect balance between uplifting euphoria and dancefloor power. The track opens with a rolling bassline and crisp percussion, quickly building momentum before introducing its defining element: a haunting, Nordic-inspired vocal chant. The ethereal vocals, courtesy of Shakespeakers, create a mystical aura, transporting listeners to vast Scandinavian landscapes.

The breakdown is where the magic truly happens. A sweeping orchestral arrangement unfolds, layered with airy pads and cinematic soundscapes. Just as the tension reaches its peak, a soaring lead melody emerges, evoking the golden era of trance while still feeling fresh and contemporary. When the drop finally hits, it’s pure dancefloor bliss—a rush of energy that will send hands into the air at festivals and clubs alike.

Released under Black Hole Recordings, Nordic Chant is a masterclass in polished trance production. The mix is crisp, with every element given room to breathe. The bassline punches through with just the right amount of drive, while the lead synths are warm and emotive without overwhelming the mix. Gielen’s decades of experience shine through in the meticulous attention to detail.

Johan Gielen and Airscape have once again delivered a trance anthem that bridges the gap between nostalgia and modernity. The only reason it doesn’t hit a full 10/10 is that it leaves us craving an extended mix for an even deeper journey.
