Ørjan Nilsen returns with “If There’s A Chance”, a 132 BPM Progressive Trance release on Black Hole Recordings, released on October 9, 2026. Sitting between progressive pacing and main-floor Trance, the single highlights a side of the Norwegian producer’s musical identity that deserves attention beyond his best-known festival anthems.
A Progressive Trance Direction With Main-Floor Ambitions
Ørjan Nilsen has never been an artist easily confined to one particular corner of Trance. From the melodic character of “La Guitarra” to the unmistakable club attitude of “Viking”, his productions have explored different approaches to energy, melody and dancefloor impact.
“If There’s A Chance” arrives in a different part of that musical landscape.
Classified as Progressive Trance and Main Floor Trance, the new release operates at 132 BPM, placing it in a tempo range that bridges the progressive and more energetic sides of the genre.
That positioning is particularly relevant in a contemporary Trance scene where musical identity is not necessarily defined by speed alone.
Ørjan Nilsen Beyond the Festival Anthem
One of the interesting aspects of Nilsen’s career has been his ability to move between different expressions of electronic dance music without abandoning his roots in Trance.
His recent catalogue illustrates that versatility. Releases such as “Hurts”, alongside his higher-tempo nilsix collaborations with Mark Sixma, demonstrate the different directions he continues to explore.
With “If There’s A Chance”, the focus returns to a progressive Trance framework rather than a straightforward high-BPM uplifting formula.
It is an interesting position for an artist whose reputation was built as much on recognisable musical ideas as on big-room impact.
A New Chapter on Black Hole Recordings
Black Hole Recordings provides a fitting home for the release.
The Dutch label has played an important part in Trance history and continues to connect established artists with new productions across the genre’s stylistic spectrum.
For Nilsen, whose career has encompassed Armada Music, A State of Trance and his own In My Opinion imprint, the release represents another contribution to that wider musical landscape.
The single is available in a shorter version and a five-minute Extended Mix, with the latter offering a format suitable for DJ programming.
TranceAttack Verdict
“If There’s A Chance” is an interesting addition to Ørjan Nilsen’s 2026 catalogue, particularly for its placement within contemporary Progressive Trance.
Its appeal as a release lies in the combination of Nilsen’s established musical identity, a measured 132 BPM framework and its connection to Black Hole Recordings.
Whether it ultimately belongs among his standout productions will depend on the strength of its melodic ideas, arrangement and emotional payoff.
