Born in 1982 in the Netherlands to Turkish parents, Ummet Ozcan emerged on the trance scene in the late 2000s, earning acclaim for tracks like TimeWave Zero and Arcadia. After transitioning through electro‑house and big-room soundscapes, he launched his imprint OZ Records under Spinnin’ in 2018, channeling his roots into melodic techno and tech‑trance experimentation. Recent works like Lotus and Night Drive showcase his venture into organic textures and polished trance-esque aesthetics.
“Era” is a powerful return to pure trance. At a swift 130 BPM, it nods to modern melodic trance while pushing energy across floors and festivals alike. Atmospheric build-ups entwine ethereal synth pads with precise sidechain pulsation, crafting an emotional depth from the outset. The lead melody is both haunting and uplifting—immediately memorable yet perfectly suited for the peak-time dynamics of trance. Percussion is crisp and layered: driving kick, sharp claps, and shimmering hats guide the groove flawlessly. Production delivers in spades: every element is cleanly mixed, from the low-end punch to the shimmering highs. Comments on the YouTube visualizer echo this, praising its “cinematic” scope and immaculate sound design.
As both a club weapon and a listening experience, “Era” bridges Ozcan’s past and future—melding trance’s euphoria with his refined technical craftsmanship. “Era” is a seamless blend of nostalgia and innovation, showcasing Ozcan at his peak.
