As the millennium turned from old to new, famed trance label Platipus released what would be not only one of the most iconic releases from its catalogue, but in all of trance history. Thanks to their blessing, Coldharbour Recordings is delighted and proud to present an updated picture of Viola, with two excellent remixes on offer. Commissioned initially for the In Search of Sunrise 14 compilation, one of the Coldharbour family members at its origin stepped up to the plate, and Elevation did not disappoint. Emphasizing the euphoria that Viola possesses, his interpretation carries that infectious momentum that is perfect for the peak hours of any setting, whether club, arena or festival. But that's not all. Driftmoon and Robert Nickson's new project Astrosphere has already made a significant impact throughout the summer with their Fire Which Burns Us All original, and they combine again with another high-paced dose of bliss, which has already gone down well with followers of Dreamstate and Transmission. Two remixes which ensure that the legacy of Moogwai's Viola is not only intact, but enriched.

When details of Markus Schulz's Los Angeles '12 compilation first emerged, many eyes were drawn to the track "City of Angels" - not just because the name itself paid tribute to one of the greatest cities in the world, but it also highlighted a surprise collaboration between one of Coldharbour's original visionaries, Elevation, and a duo ascending through the ranks, Grube & Hovsepian. A longtime friendship has resulted in undoubtedly one of 2012's anthems.Mike Targanski has spent much of his time between Detroit and Miami over the years, and under his Elevation guise, is responsible for producing what many regard as Coldharbour's finest ever output - the iconic Biscayne from 2009. Tim Grube & Mike Hovsepian's coast to coast friendship (respectively based in Miami and Los Angeles) has been symbolised with a steady stream of releases for Coldharbour in the past few years, most notably the anthemic Invisible, featured on the Prague '11 compilation. With the seeds sewn for Los Angeles '12, the three minds united to create something that not only would be a key component to Markus Schulz's livesets, but also one which would leave a lasting memory in the annals of the compilation series. The result - an energetic buildup with a melody and breakdown exemplifying what Coldharbour does best, and it is no surprise that it has become one of the most popular weekly requests on Global DJ Broadcast and elsewhere. Not only is the original so appealing, the rest of the package aids the candidacy for City of Angels to be one of 2012's best releases. The minds of Elevation and Grube & Hovsepian were back at work to give the track a new twist, with the Deep Mix providing perfect ammunition to DJs playing early in the night, and indeed an important building block in a radio show. With festival season in earnest, one of Coldharbour's go-to guys is recruited, and Estonia's Beat Service delivers the goods again, with his remix a highlight of Markus' sets at the recent Electric Daisy Carnival events in New York and Las Vegas. Los Angeles is a place everyone should visit at least once, and thanks to the efforts of Elevation, combined with Grube & Hovsepian, Coldharbour's affinity with the City of Angels will remain forever.
