There are collaborations that simply make sense on paper — and then there are collaborations like Pascal M & Scott Mac‘s “The Remedy”, where the names alone already carry a serious amount of trance history. Released on A State Of Trance, this new cut brings together two figures deeply connected to the genre’s golden-era DNA, while still delivering a production that feels sharp, energetic and perfectly placed for today’s uplifting floors.
Pascal M, better known to many longtime trance fans as Pascal Minnaard, was formerly one half of the legendary Dutch project Signum alongside Ron Hagen. Signum’s name is etched into trance history through timeless records such as “What Ya Got 4 Me,” “First Strike,” “Second Wave,” “Push Through” and, of course, the unforgettable connection with Scott Mac on “Coming On Strong.” With “The Remedy,” Pascal M steps forward under his own name while carrying that unmistakable melodic instinct and classic trance craftsmanship.
Scott Mac, meanwhile, needs no introduction for anyone who lived through the peak era of UK trance and hard dance. Known for anthems such as “Damager” and his work across aliases including Mac & Mac, Drax & Scott Mac and De:Progression, Scott has long been associated with high-impact productions that blur the line between trance drive and tougher club energy. His return to the A State Of Trance orbit alongside Pascal M feels less like nostalgia and more like a natural continuation of a story that started decades ago.
Musically, “The Remedy” is exactly what its title promises: a dose of pure, emotionally charged trance. Running at 138 bpm, the track wastes no time building pressure through rolling bass movement, crisp percussion and a clean, forward-pushing groove. There is a classic sense of momentum here — the kind of arrangement that keeps the energy locked while slowly opening up the atmosphere around it.
The breakdown is where the track truly reveals its heart. Warm melodic layers rise with a familiar, almost healing glow, giving the production that hands-in-the-air emotional pull without becoming overly sentimental. It is uplifting, but not soft; nostalgic, but not trapped in the past. The melody feels direct and sincere, while the drop brings the energy back with enough force to make “The Remedy” a proper peak-time weapon for trance floors.
What makes this release so effective is the balance between heritage and freshness. You can hear traces of the classic Signum spirit, the tougher Scott Mac edge and the unmistakable ASOT polish — but “The Remedy” never feels like a simple throwback. Instead, it sounds like two experienced producers reconnecting with the core feeling that made trance so powerful in the first place: tension, release, melody and unity.
