With Brim, Ruben de Ronde and MRPHLNDR deliver a masterclass in refined Progressive Trance. Released via Ruben’s own Statement! imprint under the Armada Music umbrella, the track showcases everything that makes modern progressive so captivating — atmosphere, emotion, and a steady groove that speaks louder than any drop.
Ruben de Ronde, a cornerstone of the trance community and a familiar face from A State of Trance, continues to prove his impeccable curatorial instinct. His label has long been a home for quality progressive releases that blend melodic sensitivity with club-ready depth. Joining him is MRPHLNDR — the alter ego of German trance legend Alex M.O.R.P.H. — a project dedicated to exploring the deeper, more melodic and hypnotic edges of trance. Together, they strike a perfect balance between experience and evolution.
From the opening pads and delicate arpeggios, Brim unfolds patiently, guided by a warm, rolling bassline and crisp percussion. The breakdown reveals a heartfelt melodic theme that feels timeless yet understated — never forced, always elegant. When the rhythm returns, it does so with poise rather than punch, gliding forward on groove and texture instead of raw power. It’s a track that invites the listener to drift, not explode — the kind of record that makes you close your eyes and move instinctively.
Polished, dynamic, and emotionally charged without being overblown, Brim perfectly encapsulates the modern Statement! sound — sophisticated, melodic, and endlessly replayable.
