Dutch Trance legends Rank 1 return with “Reuneyeted”, a 135 BPM Main-Floor Trance release on High Contrast Recordings, released on November 6, 2026. More than another addition to their discography, the single celebrates a renewed creative partnership between Piet Bervoets and Benno de Goeij – the two producers behind some of the most influential anthems in Trance history.
A Reunion More Than Two Decades in the Making
Few names are as closely associated with the golden era of Dutch Trance as Rank 1.
With landmark productions including “Airwave”, “Such Is Life”, “Awakening” and “L.E.D. There Be Light”, Piet Bervoets and Benno de Goeij helped establish a distinctive approach to melodic, anthem-driven electronic music.
Their influence has remained firmly embedded in the genre, even as Trance has evolved through different sounds and generations.
In June 2026, the two producers reunited in the studio, rekindling a creative partnership that reaches back to the late 1990s. The resulting track carries a fittingly playful title: “Reuneyeted”.
It is a release with a particularly meaningful backstory – two pioneers returning to the creative connection that helped shape an entire musical era.
Dutch Trance Heritage Meets the Modern Main Floor
Released through High Contrast Recordings, “Reuneyeted” sits firmly within the contemporary Main-Floor Trance landscape.
At 135 BPM, the production occupies an appealing position between the faster intensity of modern uplifting releases and the more measured pacing of melodic, progressive-influenced club music.
The Rank 1 name brings a distinctive heritage to that setting. Throughout their career, the duo have demonstrated how memorable melodic ideas and powerful dancefloor arrangements can give instrumental Trance a lasting identity.
Rather than treating the reunion simply as an exercise in nostalgia, “Reuneyeted” connects that musical heritage with the present-day Trance scene.
A Return Already Embraced by Trance DJs
The excitement surrounding “Reuneyeted” extends beyond its official release date.
The track was featured in A State of Trance 1299 in October 2026 and also appeared in Tiësto’s PRISMATIC programming, demonstrating its early relevance across different corners of the contemporary Trance landscape.
For longtime followers, the release carries an additional emotional dimension. Rank 1 are not merely revisiting a celebrated catalogue – Piet Bervoets and Benno de Goeij are writing another chapter together.
That distinction makes “Reuneyeted” particularly significant within their 2026 output, following releases such as “Serotonin” and the preceding “Lytherion”.
TranceAttack Verdict
“Reuneyeted” represents a particularly welcome chapter in the continuing story of Rank 1.
The combination of the duo’s extraordinary legacy, their renewed creative partnership and the track’s place in today’s Main-Floor Trance landscape makes this release especially meaningful.
While much of the electronic music scene continues to revisit the sounds of the late 1990s and early 2000s, Rank 1 bring something more authentic to that conversation: a direct connection to the artists who helped define those sounds in the first place.
A meaningful reunion release that reconnects two Dutch Trance pioneers with the scene they helped shape.
