SoundLift is a new portuguese talent in the electronic music area, especially connected to Trance music. Through his career his tastes were sensitive to the search of a combination of classic melodies with very rhythmic tracks. The 98 Trance was the main reason to produce his own tracks. Starting with no help in around 2005, he has been acquiring some knowledge that was proved as essential to the artists actual creations. This new artist is a strong addict of the \"electronic music revolution\" in Portugal, where Trance is not strongly affirmed. SoundLift\'s objectives are simple: demonstrate his ideas through his tracks, attract a lot of people to listen to his creations, create great atmospheres and give fun to people wherever these tunes are played and always learning with all his new experiences. SoundLift is supported by: Roger Shah, Aly & Fila, Ferry Tayle, Fast Distance, Sean Tyas, Solarstone, Armin Van Buuren, Talla 2XLC, Andre Visior, Bobina, Agnelli & Nelson, Jorn Van Deynhoven, Darren Tate, Mark Eteson, Digital Nature, Fabio Stein, Judge Jules, Klubbingman, Kuffdam, Les Hemstock, M.I.K.E., Tiddey, Manuel Le Saux, Marcos, Tom Colontonio, Michael Splint, Pedro Del Mar, Robert Gitelman, Suzy Solar, Ernesto & Bastian, Dave Nadz, Electribe and many more…

добавлю от себя: отличный аплифтинг транс-проект! сегодня услышал Soundlift – Horizonte (Andy Blueman Intro Mix) в радио-шоу Solar Power Sessions #467 от Suzy Solar и сподвигся на создание этой темы.

залил имеющиеся в наличие релизы. если есть еще, делитесь.

недавно Педро написал фейсбуке:

SoundLift Ok friends, so..i think itґs time to say goodbye, i canґt take it anymore.

Itґs been a pleasure to share the music with everyone, but now itґs over.

Im off...

Take care everybody

будем надеяться, что он не перестанет писать такую замечательную музыку. возможно, он имел в виду, что уходит с лейбла Blue Soho Recordings

Im off Blue Soho Recordings.

к тому же он в твиттере написал, что вернется в 2011!

SoundLift Trance Thanks everybody!!! SoundLift - Horizonte FF @ ASOT 475!!! I will be back in 2011

[OleJka]

│ SoundLift once again shows us why he is one to watch in the uplifting │
│ trance scene with the brilliant Horizonte, an epic piece of trance │
│ filled with emotion. We at Blue Soho were lucky enough to pick up this │
│ gem, and even more blessed to have the legendary maestro of emotional │
│ trance Andy Blueman on the remix! │
│ │
│ SoundLift opens with the original, a track shimmering with quality. │
│ From the cinematic orchestral break to the massive climax, you can │
│ tell exactly who is behind this track. SoundLift merges his fantastic │
│ style with traditional uplifting sounds to create music we can only │
│ define as 'epic'. This, however, is only half of the package! │
│ │
│ From the legend Airbase's Roots' Remix to this one, he never failed so │
│ far. Andy Blueman returns to Blue Soho for another round of euphoria, │
│ with his amazing take on the original. Reminiscent of the fabulous │
│ 'Florescence', he maintains his pure uplifting style to put a more │
│ emotional spin on the original. Wrapping up the package in spectacular │
│ style, this is one track not to be missed! │

│ Enjoy │

Только что послушал Horizonte, просто божественно! Слушая такие вещи ну никак язык не поворачивается сказать, что сейчас музыка стала намного хуже.

[crazal]

да, пока есть такие тру-транс продюсеры, транс не умрет!

новый релиз прошёл как-то мимо меня: мелодия отличная, яма тоже... но не хватает чего-то, что в оригинале, что в ремиксе

Похоже, Педро окончательно определился с новым лейблом после ухода с Blue Soho. Его новым пристанищем стал Abora Recordings. Кстати, судя по информации с официального канала на YouTube, у него осталась прежняя должность: A&R Manager (проще говоря, менеджер по поиску и прослушиванию новых талантов).

[Гость_Hert_*]

Я не понимаю чего он ушел с Blue Soho? Мало платили?

[Гость_CJ Flash_*]

По вполне понятным причинам мне бы не хотелось спекулировать на эту тему. Тем более, что истину знают наверняка только лейбл и сам Педро. Желающие впрочем могут нагуглить достаточно информации.

ох ё... (
я как раз подписывал свой ремикс на Blue Soho и SoundLift заверил меня что все выйдет. А теперь он ушел оттуда, кто мне будет обещать выпуск? )
Кстати недавно я как раз решил работать именно с Abora Recordings, поскольку со скоростью выпуска релизов у них лучше чем у Блу Сохо.

Ну, с юридической т.з. не имеет значения, что обещавший теперь на другом лейбле. Раз ремикс подписан, а лейбл существует - должны выпустить. Другое дело, когда...

Спасибо, возьмем информацию на заметку Удачи с ремиксом!

Secrets of SoundLift - a Special Interview - July 2011

With the greatly anticipated SoundLift album nearing the horizon, the fans have sent us many questions about the music and the background of the brilliant mind behind the "SoundLift" name, Pedro Martins. Today, we will find some answers for them.

With the greatly anticipated SoundLift album nearing the horizon, the fans have sent us many questions about the music and the background of SoundLift. Today, we will find some answers for them.

Not only limited to electronic music, you are clearly experienced with traditional instruments also! There are so many classical instruments in your tracks and it adds a beautiful atmosphere. How many instruments do you play?

I always loved to play the flute. I think it was the first instrument I ever played, but I love rock too so I decided to play electric and acoustic guitar. It is a very good instrument to start composing and sounds awesome in trance! Last year I bought the duduk and it was the inspiration to start making this album because its a traditional Armenian instrument. It's probably the most emotional woodwind I have ever heard!

You are also known for being a great sound designer. Do you create most of your synths from scratch?

Yes, I like to create most of the sounds in my tracks, especially the leads, because the main lead of the song is, in my opinion, what gives the song its trademark. Trance is known for the traditional supersaw lead and I decided to create a very unique supersaw with a summer feeling to it like in my track “Horizonte”. But I also love the classic sound and I use it in my songs as well. For example, you hear this in my remix of “Icone – Sorrow”.

Besides the production, people wonder who does your mixing and mastering. Is this all done yourself also? If so, why?

Nowadays, the industry of electronic music is known for the loudness war. Its a fact that my tracks are not the most compressed tracks out there and I care a lot about all the instruments playing. I like to keep a balance between the instruments. This is not like the others do with compressing too much just to get a punchy kick and very loud bassline. Every song has a personal feeling and a different kind of mastering. That's why I like to do it myself.

Many people wonder how you keep having so much exposure with your releases. What motivates you to create so many massive tracks without losing any inspiration?

All of my songs have different stories. Normally I do them in less than 3 days but I like to spend a little time after I have finish them, to listen them carefully and see if its really what I had in mind. Complex melodies with great atmosphere are what I like most. But the essential part is that the song tells a story from the starts until it ends. I choose my track names very carefully. It's like when I hear them I can imagine a place and it really sounds like that place even if I never have been there before. That's probably why the tracks got the attention of the listeners. We share the same feeling!

What do you think of the older trance from names like “Vimana”, “Gouryella”, etc? It seems that you draw more inspiration from the older classics. Is this correct?

Yes, I like the oldschool trance probably more than what I listen to now on radio shows. There is a fact that the quality of the songs have improved a lot but there is also a lack in inspiration. It seems like the melodies are not important anymore. I like to start with melodies, but in a way to always bring something new to trance.

Do you have faith that there is a good future for trance? Which artists and labels do you think are leading in a good direction?

I'm honest, trance was strong since the 90’s till 2008, always being more underground than most of the other EDM styles. Nowadays, it seems that most of the labels tend to release more progressive stuff to sell more. I think we have a chance to get trance strong again if we care about the quality of the releases in every aspect, not just the music but the artwork, the physical format, etc. I understand that many people don't feel like buying music because its only available in digital stores and there is so much to buy... I cant tell too much about other labels, because I don't work there to see what they do. What I can say is that labels should maintain their trademarks and styles and not start selling house as trance. When there is passion, things grow up in a sustainable way and people can use the benefits in a very long time. That's how I like to work, and also to respect both the artists and the people who work with me on my projects.

Your tracks have musical influences from many cultures and even ancient instruments. What is it that you love about ancient styles of music, and why did you think to combine the old with the new?

I like cultures, i like to know more about the world and the people who live on it. That's why i use many traditional instruments. Its also a way to express my ideas trough music and tell a story.

Your album has not even been released yet and people are asking about the possibility of a remixed album! Do you think you would like such a project?

It's always nice to see people showing their interpretations of my tracks. A remixed album showcases the talent of many producers and I would like to give the opportunity to see what they can do!

Your music is distinctly different from the “club” trance music. Some people even say it has a spiritual feel because it is so uplifting. Why are your goals so different?

My aim is quality, not necessarily to have to become a club hit to get attention. The art itself is when you can do what you want with the tracks and when you hear them you say: that's me! When the people love your work and you feel good because you did it in your style, that's unbeatable. Nobody can do better in your style, it will always be different.

Many people are asking if you will consider visiting their countries to play DJ gigs. Do you see this happening in your future?

Right now it is impossible. My country is in a difficult period and that will last a few years. I can't start a career of something that I don't know will succeed. You cant DJ forever and parties and events are always changing. What is good now, won't work tomorrow. So you need a backup. Some people are lucky to live in big countries. I live in a place that you have to pay to play! I remember my last gig here. I travelled 3 hours on bus and a few hours in train to play at a club with my guitar and other DJs. We played since 0.00 till 7am and then I get back without sleeping. I don't see this as life, especially when you don't get money to eat and pay for your things. Do you?

What advice would you give to aspiring trance artists?

To be yourself, to produce what you like and not to change because of the market. To not expect much from sales also. To be smart and always be one step in front of the labels. Don't get too excited with a few words. Expect nothing from the beginning but keep your head up and analyze all the possibilities. Don't be afraid to talk and to change what you think is not right. A lot of people stumble and start giving up. The others keep changing the world!

How do you feel about this great accomplishment of your first album release, and why did you name it "Yerevan"?

I think it will be great for me and for the label. Its probably the first album this year selling trance as it is. It's great when you share your ideas and know-how with your partners. In the end, both learn a lot and its always fun! Thanks to all who made it possible. As for the reasons of the album name, you will have to discover that yourself

Thank you very much for your time Pedro! We look forward to the album!
