Its pure, classic trance from Garry McCartney, highlighted by Brennan's trademark heavenly voice.<\/p>\n
Trance Wax (Belfasts Garry McCartney) has teamed up with the First Lady of Celtic Music - Clannad's Moya Brennan - for their new collaborative dance track 'Rivers'.<\/p>\n
Trace Wax was launched as an anonymous series of vinyl-only bootlegs back in 2015 as a way for McCartney to celebrate the formative sounds that he first fell in love with as a Belfast teenager.<\/p>\n
Electronic music label Anjunabeats is now welcoming Grammy Award-winning Irish folk singer, songwriter, harpist, philanthropist Moya Brennan to the British label as a guest.<\/p>\n
For his debut album, Trance Wax - the nostalgia infused alias of Ejeca - was able to recruit Moya for another go around the classic trance carousel on the track, 'Rivers'. <\/p>\n
Brennans achievements and influence as both a solo artist and a member of her familys legendary band Clannad are monumental. In addition to recording 17 records with Clannad (which included receiving a Grammy, a BAFTA, and an Ivor Novello award), Moyas had an impactful solo career to the tune of 25 albums and sales in excess of 20 million records. <\/p>\n
In 2020, Moya was part of the Irish Women in Harmony collective, which recorded a version of \"Dreams\" in aid of Safe Ireland - a charity that deals with domestic abuse.<\/p>\n
This isn't the first time the Irish trad sensation has put her voice onto a dance track. Chicanes 1999 classic 'Saltwater' utilised the otherworldly sound of Moya's vocals to create one of the defining moments in dance music history and a crossover sensation. Incorporating parts of Clannads 1992 hit 'Harrys Game', 'Saltwater' raced up the UK Singles Chart to No. 6.<\/p>\n
On 'Rivers', Brennan stretches her genre wings to mark another successful team project.<\/p>\n
Garry sent some ideas to us and I listened to them for a couple of days. I couldn't wait to get into the studio because you kind of feel that sense of a canvas and adding the colours,\" Brennan said of working with Trance Wax. <\/p>\n
\"The more I keep hearing, the more I sing. I concentrate first of all on the melody and make sure that I've captured the sense and the essence of the chorus. I was thrilled when I sent it to Garry and right away loved it. <\/p>\n
\"Garry is an amazing musician, and he's really into delving into all sorts of alternative ways of using the different vocals,\" the musician added. \"I sent him a lot of different ideas, the verses, the choruses, the harmonies, and a few other bits. I sent him the lot to see if he could use any of it and he ended up using it all, Brennan says. <\/p>\n
Garry McCartney also described his excitement at the prospect of working with such a huge name:<\/p>\n
It was an honour to make a song with Celtic legend Moya Brennan. Her magical ethereal tones encapsulate what I was trying to do on the album. The song is about being home and a sense of belonging, I hope you all enjoy. <\/p>\n
In 2020, Anjunabeats released a stirring, self-titled LP debut from Trance Wax featuring 14 original compositions. The album is a celebration of communal euphoria and a love-letter to the golden age of trance through the eyes of a modern production star at the top of his game.<\/p>\n
