Nowadays there is glad-fully great (underground) modern-produced trance & progressive available on a few labels, but he noticed he always grabs back to his classics playlist from time to time for the (what they say) Golden Trance/Progressive Era, from 1996-2004.

Guido personally loves that spacey, atmospheric trancy sounds a lot, also dreamy textures, choirs and no extreme long breakdowns. You will find similar sounds on this album referring to that period mentioned above. So the last two years he dedicated himself to make an oldskool progressive and trance album and the result is here with 25 tracks on the (double) album 'Against The Tide'.

Guido tried to make a divers album with the sounds from the Golden Trance/Progressive Era, 1996-2004. On many labels oldskool progressive trance (and especially the sounds and style) is a bit forgotten and I hope this album will fill in this gap a little bit, sort of.

Fuzion Four Records CEO Aaron Waters gave Guido the opportunity to release this oldskool progressive and trance album 'Against The Tide'. "I really hope people will enjoy this album like I was enjoying making it", Guido Hermans says.

'Against The Tide' is out from the 26th of May 2018, grab a copy here.
