<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">The icing on the cake. As Aly & Fila expand their record label with 'Future Sound of Egypt Excelsior', finish up yet another FSOE world tour, and drop smash record after smash record, it's hard to imagine what in the world could be left for the pair. Just shy of 1 million Facebook followers as of this writing, Aly & Fila are about as elite as it gets.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">A chance to break free. Their third studio album, 'The Other Shore' is the magnum opus of artists who have already reached the other side of their craft. No longer out to prove anything, Aly & Fila are free to create exactly the kind of album that they want. The most striking feature of this record is the sheer musicality of every track. Borrowing instrumentation from different cultures, genres, and even eras, they've blended it all in a style that no one on earth could emulate.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">Powerful diversity. From Aruna's jazzy and minimal title track to 'In My Mind' (featuring Karim Youssef & May Hassan), the scope of this record is unimaginable. Songs like 'Altitude Compensation' will pull at your heart like a long-lost lover, while 'Never Let Me Go' (featuring Seri) is an intimate, remarkable tune made possible by inspired and magical vocals. Downtempo 'Shine' (with Roxanne Emery) is perfect for the azure Mediterranean shores of Ibiza.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #464646; font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 20px;">"Perfection is achieved when there's nothing left to take away." Very few producers would have the confidence to strip their tracks down to the bare essentials, leaving nothing left to hide. To pull this off, what's left has to be almost inhumanly perfect - breath for breath, note for note. You couldn't take away a single sound or a song from this record and have it be the same, and as impossible as it may seem, it's hard to imagine Aly & Fila going anywhere but up from here.</span></span></div>

Interview || Stuck In A Loop With Stoneface & Terminal

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<span style="color: #f1c232;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">Words of Wisdom From Stoneface & Terminal "Be </span></span><span style="line-height: 24px;">Different</span><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 24px;">" </span></span></span></h2>
<div class="MsoBodyText" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: #f1c232; font-family: inherit;">'Be Different' is Stoneface & Terminal's second artist album and was over a year in the making. It proves again that the two school friends can create true musical brilliance, which is exactly what an artist album should be. Being known for numerous successful club singles, Stoneface & Terminal deliver with their new album which provides an interesting mixture without forgetting their own sound. 'Be Different' is a journey from catchy vocal songs to techy rhythms via trancey lines and laidback sounds. Interesting collaborations with Kyau & Albert, Ellie Lawson, Sean Ryan, Amurai, Ronski Speed & Synthea and Ana Criado turn 'Be Different' into a timeless album.</span></span></div>

job...” We started our music career with hard driving techno sounds. Later we
tried to connect our techy sound with some melodic stuff. A lot of people told

lots of different sounds to show that electronic dance music is multifaceted
and not stupid monotonous like lot of guys produce it at the moment. Everybody
who invented a new style in music, was different in the beginning. If someone
comes up to us and tells us 'I hate your stuff' we just give him a smile and
ask him „...and why are you here?“ or „...just don’t listen to our music
again.“  <o:p></o:p></span></div>

'Be Different' is Stoneface & Terminal's second artist album and was over a year in the making. It proves again that the two school friends can create true musical brilliance, which is exactly what an artist album should be. Being known for numerous successful club singles, Stoneface & Terminal deliver with their new album which provides an interesting mixture without forgetting their own sound. 'Be Different' is a journey from catchy vocal songs to techy rhythms via trancey lines and laidback sounds. Interesting collaborations with Kyau & Albert, Ellie Lawson, Sean Ryan, Amurai, Ronski Speed & Synthea and Ana Criado turn 'Be Different' into a timeless album. Prior to this album, Euphonic released the massive single 'For You' featuring Ellie Lawson.  </div>

all over the world German duo Stoneface & Terminal reveal the magical title
track of their awesome album Be Different. Once again they succeed to compose a
highly memorable progressive trancer with the words Trance Anthem all over it.
The stunning vocals courtesy of Sean Ryan who collaborated with great artists
amongst them ATB will speak to your heart straight away. It starts with
wonderful rock infused piano and guitar intro with electronic blissful blippy
synthy hook that will hypnotize the listener without doubts and transfer them
to a higher level of understanding, loving and being peacefully together on the
dancefloor. Chunky grooves, pulsating deep basslines, warm strings and
sunkissed melodies are merged to form the magnificent foundation for Sean Ryan
to appear and add his indie rock/ pop edge to the track with his dynamic but
very ethereal voice as well. Dreamy sing a long Balearic trancer that nicely
leads on the breakdown that is packed with colorful synths, mystical melodies
and heartfelt strings that make you feel like being in the sea side hearing the
therapeutic sound of crashing sea waves on the beach and smelling the summer
breeze. The climax offers the finest crescendo moment with all the soundlayers
coming together to offer you shivers all over your body from head to toe. It
finishes with very sweet and tender ambient outro to leave the listener wanting
to listen more. Be Different is </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/puregold" style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="color: windowtext;">#PureGold</span></a><span style="line-height: 115%;"> album

great track-in-the-making is a formidable yet gratifying task that is a
combination of the innate, the creative, the learned, the educated guessing and

tantalizing, engaging and euphoric track of acclaim and permanence.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 115%;">This gem delivers a stunning pleasantry of multiple beats from varied
directions with traces of tribal undertones. It’s engineered to precision
rendering the listener unstoppable while indulging in and succumbing to its
grip. It ascends and then delivers a gentle ebb of breakdown but with the
anticipation of that adrenaline-rising rebuild that is eminent just beyond the
next few beats. The slight cessation resonates a trace of cosmic before
striking again with acoustic force. It’s this creative framework and weaving
that is the pillar of the quintessential, enduring hit. It’s that persistent
beat and that compelling energy. It’s that formula that the duo of Henri and
Mathias, aka Stoneface & Terminal, have mastered time and again and have
demonstrated here.</span></div>

own lives. To be our dreams and live them while being the better version of
ourselves imaginable through love, connection and seeing the best in other
people as we're all part of the same heart and planet. Ana Criado sang the
track with so much love and brought the small yet meaningful concept to reality

people. This tune has definitely the potential to crowd every dancefloor - in
hot Ibiza or in colder Germany. The voice elements of Synthea make shivers on
your back - and the melody really gets into your ear and stays there for a
loooong time. "Yuma" is a high energy collaboration with Ronski Speed
which is surely worth 5 out of 5 stars.... We love Stoneface & Terminal

when you see collaboration like this one, between two giants in the realms of

"We Own The Night" is a perfect record for today's modern dance music
scene. Storming dark beats with gritty progressive primed to push any
night deep into its peak. Fueled by techy rhythms that could find its way into
a trance set as much a driving techno set and relentless aggression, the
breakdown parts perfectly in time for Alberts' instantly recognizable vocals to
chime with his incredible heart-pulling lyrics. Finally a return to a charging
stab based pinnacle round out this peak time monster perfectly. Stoneface &

</div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">The track «Stuck In A Loop» from the new
album of the German duo Stoneface & Terminal is remarkable due to various
strong points and, definitely, is an object that deserves close attention.</span></span></div>
<span lang="DE"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">"The title of the track itself might be understood in different ways.
Someone is «stuck in a loop»... Is that a kind of self-irony of the musicians
from Germany in the moment of album production while they felt a lack of
creative ideas and the process does not progress any further except one looped
fragment? Or maybe that is a nimble description of the current conditions on
the mainstream Trance scene?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 18.399999618530273px;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">Let us leave these reflections aside and come to grips of the music. The track
«Stuck In A Loop» is obviously divided into two parts, moreover the unexpected
development coming to light from the middle part of the track by leaps and
bounds, shows the entire potential of this production.</span></div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">The initial part inspired by the modern «Progressive Techno», it is first and
foremost House music in contrary to Trance, and could be perceived as a
self-consistent production in the genre of House — well, let’s just easily
remember what the fellow German countrymen of Stoneface & Terminal have
done a couple of years ago — Christian and Frank from D-Nox & Beckers and
what type of sound is being promoted in 2014 by another prominent artist from
Germany, Tomcraft — the similar lively, brisk, energetic and moderately
monotonous vibrations properly moves the crowds both on the dancefloors of
nightclubs and on the large festival arenas.</span></div>
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">The second part is quite a specific «surprise» in the form of a leading melody
and its surrounding framework: these two easily move «Stuck In A Loop» into
another genre plane. In actual conditions, when the vast majority of producers
tend to stay within the limits of standard, generic moves and tricks while
creating new tracks and to stay «trendy» and «on demand». Having nothing going
for oneself is absolutely not the case of Stoneface & Terminal — the German
duo stands against this mass predictability and puts accent on the classical
Trance polyphony instead of the eagerly sought but too easy interchange of
breakdowns and drops."</span></div>

<span lang="DE"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><div style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">The track begins with the neo-sound of S&T, buildingthrough a deep thinking
musical texture only S&T can create. Listening from the beginning the
track, we are transformed into a soundtrack of Platonism corruption or
Aristotelian revolution.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;">At 4:10 the “Neo-sound” drops, and the hard hitting, head-banging begins, as if
we were front row for Caligula’s (the Roman Emperor’s) extravagance, sadism,
and extreme nature, which resulted in his demise. I myself vision the song
fitting for a Stanely Krubrick – Trance Space Odyssey crescendo. Timeless trance.
