When it comes to trance royalty, few names carry the same weight and legacy as Rank 1. The Dutch duo, formed by Benno de Goeij and Piet Bervoets, has shaped the sound of trance for more than two decades with timeless anthems like Airwave, Awakening, and Such Is Life. Their productions have consistently struck a rare balance between raw dancefloor power and melodic sophistication, setting them apart as one of the genre’s most respected acts.
With their new single “Lytherion”, Rank 1 once again proves why they are masters of their craft. Released on High Contrast Recordings, the track is an uplifting powerhouse clocking in at 142 bpm—designed for those peak-time moments where energy and emotion collide. From the very first beat, “Lytherion” exudes Rank 1’s unmistakable touch: driving basslines, soaring melodies, and a euphoric progression that keeps building until it erupts in full festival glory.
The press text describes it best: “Trance legends Rank 1 return with Lytherion, a powerful and uplifting masterpiece crafted for peak-time moments. With their signature melodic depth and driving energy, this track captures the essence of pure trance euphoria, ready to ignite dancefloors and festival stages worldwide.” And it truly delivers on that promise—this is Rank 1 at their most exhilarating.
“Lytherion” feels like both a tribute to trance’s golden era and a statement for today’s dance floors. The production is crisp, modern, and powerful, yet steeped in that emotional resonance Rank 1 is famous for. It’s the kind of track that not only moves your body but also leaves you with goosebumps—an anthem tailor-made for Transmission, A State of Trance, or any arena where thousands gather to lose themselves in sound and light.
