Award-winning British electronic producer and DJ Ben Hemsley has released his much-anticipated single, ‘Tidal’, solidifying his position as one of the most prominent figures in contemporary trance music. This sweeping 10-minute masterpiece pays homage to the golden era of extended trance anthems while showcasing Hemsley’s signature production style, offering a fresh and immersive experience.
‘Tidal’ has already become a fan favorite, having been a staple in Hemsley’s performances throughout the year, from electrifying sets on the main stages of Creamfields and A State of Trance Festival to his successful 12-week Ibiza residency and a massive 12,000-capacity headline show in Liverpool this summer. Featuring haunting vocals from rising star Rose Gray, fresh off a collaboration with TSHA, the track takes listeners on a sonic journey with euphoric drops, intricate textures, and steadily building energy. Gray’s ethereal voice adds an emotional layer to the track, which tells the story of a turbulent on-and-off relationship.
Following the success of his breakout hit ‘Erase Me’ and recent trance-driven single ‘Closer’ featuring Chenai, ‘Tidal’ further cements Hemsley’s reputation as a leader in the modern trance movement. With its expansive sound and extended duration, the track creates a hypnotic experience that resonates with both long-time fans and newcomers to the genre.
“‘Tidal’ allowed me to really explore what trance means to me on a deeper level,” says Hemsley. “The extended length gave me the space to play with melodies and atmospheres, taking inspiration from 90s records that I love. Trance was my first love, and it’s the direction you’ll see me going in moving forwards.”
‘Tidal‘ is out now on Armada Music.
