about this album
Cat#: SILKRL032 Release date: 06 March 2012 Genre: progressive house, progressive breaks One of Silk Royal's most successful and beloved artists, Schodt, returns to the imprint for the first time in nearly a year with the triumphant "Heatwave", a much needed respite from the winter chill of February. With countless classics to his name, including "White Tiger" and "Here With Me", Schodt continued to pad his resume this past year with a #1 hit single on Beatport's trance chart ("Fly Into The Night"), as well as appearances on several massive international DJ compilations.

Later on in the main break, all of the low-end is pulled back, and we are met with the lead melodies in full force: a truly awe-inspiring moment in the track, in which Schodt (once again) succeeds in layering a dazzling array of uplifting arp lines and delicate synth stabs to euphoric effect. On remix detail is American progressive star Shawn Mitiska, a proud addition to the label roster. Perhaps best known for his numerous Armada hits as part of the trio Cerf, Mitiska, & Jaren (which have received millions of hits on Youtube, as well as IDMA nominations),
