Released in 2003 on Soundpiercing, Masters & Nickson feat. Justine Suissa – “Out There (5th Dimension)” captures the emotional heart of golden-era Vocal Trance. Produced by Dave Masters and Robert Nickson, the track combines uplifting melodies, atmospheric synth work and Suissa’s unmistakable vocals. Early support on Armin van Buuren’s A State of Trance, including a Future Favorite selection, helped establish its place in the scene. The celebrated Mike Shiver Vocal Mix and numerous later interpretations have kept this early-2000s classic alive across generations of Trance fans.
This classic brings together three defining qualities of early-2000s Vocal Trance: an emotionally charged melody, a driving yet spacious arrangement and an unforgettable vocal performance.
Justine Suissa gives the production its human connection, while Masters & Nickson provide the melodic intensity and uplifting atmosphere that defined the era. Its enduring appeal is reflected in the continued attention from remixers, including Mike Shiver, Robert Nickson himself, Sean Tyas and Driftmoon.
More than two decades later, “Out There” remains a compelling example of how melody and vocals can give Trance a lasting emotional identity.
