Bjorn Akesson & Jwaydan – Xantic is OUT NOW!

No Comments »

  “Swedish producer Bjorn Akesson & UK singer Jwaydan start 2012 with a loud bang! ‘Xcantic’ is the latest vocal sensation, hot off the Future Sound of Egypt label!
Moving masses with his significant uplifting touch, Bjorn Akesson impressed the crowds with productions such as ‘Perfect Blue’, ‘Painting Pyramids’ and ‘Sandcastle Express’. This time, the talented producer puts a little British touch to his Swedish sound. Singer/songwriter Jwaydan Anwar is the rising star of EDM’s league of vocalists. As the voice behind successful tracks such as ‘We Control The Sunlight’ with Aly & Fila and Tom Fall’s ‘Untouchable’, the young lady has grown into being one of the most requested vocalists of this very moment.
Two talents join forces on ‘Xantic’, a track that crawls under your skin at an instant. This beauty has a warm, trancy flow and the power to silence a 10.000 strong crowd. Scintillating with each note it hits.
For the proggy side of trance, you’ll be indulged to find the Mike Shiver remix in this package, alongside the full-on, acid-inspired sounds of the Aly & Fila vs Bjorn Akesson remix!” – Armada Music
