First off, I want to congratulate our entire staff here at Daily Beat for an amazing 2013 (and still going on). The 5,000 strong that like our Facebook page, check up on the latest music daily, and support all of our live coverage, ticket giveaways and exclusive interviews is truly remarkable. Without all of you, none of this would be possible.

But today, I am happy to present another Daily Beat premiere, this time with Chicago based DJ/producer, Bryan Gregory. This unique premiere offers up two amazing tunes: one original mix and one podcast! BG's continuous push into the progressive house and trance scene made him one of the most listened to up and coming producers for me this past summer.

Trance is a genre that originated in the early 90s, with Germany being key to its development. Paul Van Dyk for example was a German pioneer that really developed the sound and gave it some commercial exposure. As it developed Trance incorporated elements from Classical, Pop, House and Techno, developing into the vast array of sounds that it now presents itself as today. With the recent EDM explosion, many of the big Trance figures like Armin van Buuren took some sort of shift towards a sound that incorporated house elements (for example in his latest artist album Intense), and other artists like Tiesto took leave to pursue other genres. You might be mistaken for thinking that as a consequence Trance is a dying genre but you could not be more wrong, with a thriving culture of sounds as varied as that within the house scene, catering to everyone's tastes. This package will share some of the new talents that are releasing amazing work, as well as a few older tracks from artists we have loved for much longer. Give it all a listen, even if you aren't into trance and we're sure you'll find some tracks you love.
