Already featured on Menno’s debut Mix Compilation ‘Intuition Sessions Vol. 1’ we are proud to present the long awaited follow up to ‘Tundra’ on Intuition and ‘Sjamaan’ on Fundamental Recordings. This double A side release is a real statement to the trance scene! ‘Solid State’ is co-produced by no one less than Re:Locate the theme song for the highly acclaimed Intuition Summer Event.

DJ Mag Review
After the ‘grower’ that was ‘Sjamaan’, a standout new track from Menno that knocks yer socks clean off, first listen. The Original Mix of ‘Nolthando’ is hard to miss with its epic, beatless intro, which builds to a stunning, intense climax over 120 seconds. From there it develops further into a pristine, sparkling melodic trancer, backed by super-heated pads and a production that assaults the dancefloor. Certainly MdJ’s best in the last 12 months. 5/5
