After decades of shaping the trance landscape, Dutch legend Signum returns with an atmospheric gem that feels both like a nod to his legacy and a bold step forward. Homage, his first solo original on Anjunabeats, is exactly what the title promises—a tribute to the timeless essence of trance.
First teased as a mystery ID on Group Therapy by Above & Beyond, Homage instantly captured attention with its ethereal melodies and hypnotic vocal textures. Clocking in at 136 bpm, the track strikes that golden balance between emotional introspection and dancefloor propulsion—something Signum has long mastered since his 1999 classic “Coming On Strong.”
In case you missed the resurgence, “Coming On Strong” saw a major revival last year with reworks from Ben Nicky, Hannah Laing, Korolova, and others—earning widespread support from giants like Yotto, David Guetta, Ferry Corsten, Giuseppe Ottaviani, and more. But this release isn’t just a callback—Homage feels like Signum planting his flag firmly in the current trance terrain, with one foot in the genre’s golden era and the other confidently in 2025.
Having made his Anjunabeats debut in 2003 with a stunning remix of OceanLab’s “Beautiful Together”, and later putting his signature twist on Above & Beyond’s “Can’t Sleep” in 2006, it’s somewhat poetic to see Signum finally deliver a solo original on the label over two decades later. And what a debut it is.
The production is tight, the emotion runs high, and the pacing—flawless. There’s a certain maturity in Homage that long-time trance fans will recognize and newer listeners will appreciate. It’s the kind of track that doesn’t need to scream to be heard; it simply resonates.
Coming off a busy year that saw him light up dancefloors from Ministry of Sound to Trancefest at SWG3, Signum shows no signs of slowing down—and Homage might just be one of his finest offerings yet.
