There was a time when Manchester's Craig Connelly was a behind the scenes man. But over the past few years, he's emerged from running Garuda Music and finding the latest talent in electronic production to set his own standard in solo releases. His latest, "History," traces back through his knowledge of dance music, his own releases and their specific style, and the music that inspired him to become a trance producer, and rolls it all into one impressive single. Ever aware of the importance of melody, Connelly uses an uplifting progression set in a classic high BPM trance setting, all while bringing his usual power to the production's energy. Check it out below – it's out via A State of Trance this week.
