Is trance music dead? Once atopicfor discussion, 2016 saw that question finally laid to rest. Trance artists sawincreased bookings, large dedicatedtrance events like Blissin Seattle sprouted out of nowhere, psy-trance became a fad, and more! This year, the genre continues to soar to new heights.Fresh, youngartists are emerging and legends of old, ones who bounced to other genres, have returned home under new aliases. One trance mainstay whos set to have his biggest year yet? Omnia.

Before taking to the Digital Oasis stage last week at Paradiso, the Ukranian DJ/producer shared with us what fans can expect from him this summer, and beyond. Lets just say: trance family, you are definitely in for a treat!

Dont expect from me simple EDM, commercial big room stuff, DJ screaming in the microphone for the whole night, and things like thatits not me.

Contributing to trances resurgence last year, Omnia struck gold with Alien, released that April, and kept the hits coming. His remix of Armin van Buurens Face of Summer, Believe (featuring famed trance vocalist Audrey Gallagher) and All I See Is You (featuring Christian Burns, a legend in his own right), all released toward the end of the year, received massive support and placed on trance charts across the globe. He hasnt stopped since, teaming up with Johnny Rose for Why Do You Run and DRYM for Enigma to kick off 2017.

His Paradiso set saw a slew of new IDs and remixes, somehaving never been played on stage- a funtaste of whats to come.

The whole summer is going to be crazy with the new music from me and Im so happy about that!

Teasing a few more singles to be released in July and August, Omnia adds there are plans for an album to be released next year; in-progress now.

I think we are coming back to the trance roots right now. For some reasons trance music had too much EDM influences afew years ago, but that was just a trend I guess; people get bored of this too fast.

Right now, trance is back.
