When timeless trance emotion meets modern uplifters’ precision, the result can be truly special. Once (XiJaro & Pitch Remix) is exactly that kind of moment — a track that respects its roots while lifting its gaze firmly toward peak-time dancefloors.
Originally crafted by Solarstone alongside vocalist IKO, Once already carried a deep, reflective atmosphere. But in the hands of XiJaro & Pitch, the track becomes a soaring vocal trance anthem, driven by power, clarity, and pure emotional intent.
At 138 BPM, the remix wastes no time building momentum. A warm, rolling bassline lays the foundation, while crisp percussion keeps the energy locked in. The breakdown is where the magic truly happens: the vocals float effortlessly, surrounded by lush pads and subtle melodies, creating that unmistakable goosebump moment trance fans live for. When the drop hits, it’s euphoric, uplifting, and unapologetically big — classic trance spirit with a contemporary edge.
Released on Black Hole Recordings, this remix feels right at home on a label synonymous with quality and longevity in the trance scene.
Solarstone is one of the true architects of trance. Active since the early ’90s, he has continuously shaped the genre — from progressive beginnings to euphoric and deeper trance explorations — always prioritizing musical integrity over trends.

Together, this remix bridges generations – past, present, and future – of trance, united in one powerful release.
