REVIEW: Hazem Beltagui - EP incl. A Priori and On The Edge Of Darkness out on AVA recordings


1. A Priori
2. On The Edge Of Darkness

Becoming quite the regular on AVA now, Egyptian talent Hazem Beltagui returns to AVA with a stunning EP. Both tracks brilliantly displaying Hazem's penchant for smooth progressive vibes with unforgettable melodies. If you want to close your eyes and float away, "A Priori" and "On The Edge Of Darkness" will do just that!

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Hazem Beltagui is one of the hottest trance producers with his own very unique and easily identifiable sound. His new EP on Andy Moor's excellent label AVA recordings is pure class. A Priori is the shorter of the two and  what I will call a filler in a set rather than the stand out choice. Relaxing smooth progressive trance with solid arrangement and heavenly melodies that carry you away without any difficulties. On The Edge Of Darkness is the real star in the package. With subliminal melodies that communicate straight away with your subconscious and deep bubbly basslines along with rolling tribalish drums and heavenly mysterious voices on top. The melody is one of those that is impossible to pass unnoticed. You feel instantly hooked and truly mesmerized by it without doubts. This is an underground trance anthem in the making. #PureGold Love It [/content]
