Few pioneers of trance music still produce artist albums with the quality and emotion that Kyau & Albert deliver. <\/p>\n
The German duoKyau & Albert have been DJing and producing for over 20 years together with an impressive discography of trance music. Matching Stories marks their fifth artist album release containing 14 emotional dance music tracks that are perfect therapy for the heart and soul. The album is a journey through the joys and heartbreaks that we experience as humans. <\/p>\n
Ralph Kyau and Steven Moebius Alberts Matching Stories is worth the listen for any trance fan. The album is out now pick up a signed CD with lyrics booklet or stream Matching Stories on all major digital outlets. Dont forget to subscribe to Kyau & Alberts monthly podcast, Euphonic Sessions, to listen to their top trance track picks. <\/p>\n
Memory Lane starts off the album with soothing vocals and melodies that bring us back to powerful nightclub memories. The build up releases into a dance floor hit that feels like classic Kyau & Albert tracks such as Are You One Of Us? and A Night Like This. The next track, Mein Herz, flawlessly transitions between German and English lyrics by Steven with heartbeat-like bass. The vocals transcend either language; you can identify with the heartbreak one feels after expressing interest in someone. About The Sunoriginally debuted at ABGT150 in Sydney, Australia and has been updated to match the album listening atmosphere and fits perfectly. <\/p>\n
Matching Stories features several collaborations, including Love Letter from the Future featuring vocals by Adaja Black. The song delivers heart-wrenching vocals in the breakdown that will bring tears to any trance family member. The synths that follow are uplifting and empowering, even though its not traditional 138BPM. Bring You Back with Jeza has haunting vocals that I can best describe as Kyau & Alberts take on the track by Armin van Buuren feat. Sharon den Adel In and Out of Love. Finally, Sleeping Lions featuring In Gray combines funky bass with powerful synths and sultry vocals for this feel-good track. <\/p>\n

Trace was featured on the A State of Trance 2017 album and is perfectly placed in Matching Stories. While simplistic in its lyrics, the combination of the track along with the vocals packs a powerful feeling found in Kyau & Alberts emotional dance music. The middle of the album transitions into experimental tracks with funky and groovy sounds. Spren is the most creative and steps out of the sound you typically hear from the duo, including additional German lyrics found on the album. Changes continues the experimental segment of the album and is a track I hope to hear in a club lounge soon. <\/p>\n
What Youre About to Burn hits with groovy house vibes paired with Stevens poetic voice. DeLorean brings us back to the future with its leading funky bass lines and then brings us back to euphoric trance vibes for the rest of the track. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Standout track Gamla Stan features vocals by Madeleine Wood and is a collaboration with Francesco Sambero. The catchy piano paired with the driving bass sound was perfectly made for dark and memorable trance nights in clubs. In addition, the breathtaking production on the track Wanderlust rivals Ferry Corstens Gouryella alias; it wouldnt be surprising if he were to feature the song in upcoming sets. Rounding out the album is Meteorite and is a chill track full of space, wonder, and relaxation, perfect for the album outro. <\/p>\n
The tracks on the album range from their emotional trance classic sounds to experimental new favorites. There are very few left in the scene that produce true artist albums that are conceptually realized and cohesively sound. Listen to Matching Stories at home for personal listening and then make sure to catch Kyau & Albert at a club or festival near you. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Music is an integral part of Drews life, whether its listening to trance or house while working or at a festival. Hes always out to discover new and exciting sounds. When video games RollerCoaster Tycoon and Unreal Tournament were the hot new games, one of his friends that he knew through the community forums introduced him to trance on Digitally Imported and he soon fell in love with trance, happy hardcore, hardstyle and other fast BPM (beats per minute) genres. <\/p>\n
