The banned version with vocal samples was a true masterpiece and it was obvious that John had put all his feelings in its creation. And this one is a result of a desperate situation and the sound doesn't have a soul. Maybe it's time to come to some agreement with those who raised red flags on the very first original version and re-release it? It will be really great, after 5 years since the "wrong" release to finally get the full quality and length release with initial vocal samples. We love you John and your music. 💜💜💜
@@josevanreyes It was called the same - "Supersonic" but the one you are listening here is not the initial one that was banned. You may find the initial version in ASOT 752. Also you may check it out here: ruclips.net/video/G_8CTlW2-oo/видео.html
@@pure.relaxing wow that was pretty dope. The vocals definitely makes a big difference and makes the track feel more euphoric as trance should be. Why was it banned btw?
@@josevanreyes Below is John's explanation (taken from his Facebook post on 29 April 2016) Ok you can stop messaging me about Supersonic now. It's like this..... Supersonic contains a sample of a Susanavocal owned by Adrian Raz Recordings - I foolishly made the track using this sample without asking permission because I thought I had processed and disguised it to the point of it no longer being recognisable. I was wrong and so when Adrian and Raz heard it (probably from it’s debut airing on the fantastic Aly & Fila Essential mix) they immediately waved a flag and put a stop to the release - which was scheduled to come out on FSOE. And quite right too!! Throughout my childhood at school and home when I found myself facing disciplinary retributions for being involved in all manner of capers - I'd always own up, step forward and take the punishment. Seriously - if I had a pound for every time I had to bend over while my headmaster gave me six of the best….. (I’m talking about hits from a cane, or wooden ruler or shoe - not inches of his penis you complete perverts). And I'm no different today. By that I don’t mean I’m still getting thrashed regularly with a stick by school teachers - no I mean I still always own up when I’m in the wrong. So I called Adrian and Raz, apologised for stealing their sample and asked if they would please forgive my heinous crime and go one step further in granting a sample clearance in exchange for them taking 100% of the publishing revenue on the track. They said absolutely not - which is understandable. I'd pissed them off immensely and so why should they give a complete asshole thief like me permission to use this beautiful 15 second sample that you can hear looping occasionally in the background of certain sections of my track. It was my fault - so anyone that is annoyed this track won't see an official release - please direct your frustrations to me. Or better still don’t bother - I’ve just explained everything so there’s nothing more to say. I'm the prize-winning bell-end who sampled someone else's vocal thinking he could get away with it. And for that I apologise to Susana and Adrian / Raz for being so arrogant and offensive. "Put your hand up if you are the cretin that stole that sample"! "Sir - it was me Sir". "Askew, I might have known - go and wait for me in my study you wicked child". Bad John. Naughty John. Horrid John. Ps: If you’re one of the teachers that used to give me a regular hiding when I was a nipper - don’t worry I’m not calling you out - in fact quite the opposite. I have nothing but respect and admiration for the manners and core stiff upper lip values that you beat into me through my formative years. Good times!
This one definately IS a thriller! It's so epic that I imagine an epic battle between good and evil while this tune plays! John Askew is one talented trance artist!

Niiice! I though that the incident with the 'Closer' sample would be the end of this song in terms of an official release. Not a smart move from John Askew as he is more than capable of coming up with a suitable build-up for the song himself.
If john askew was Armin, Ferry, Omnia, Marlo or another well-known producer, it could be the tune of the year. But Askew is so underrated when we look to the trance scene. The track is one of the best but the artist is underrated.
For your information, i agree that popular EDM is shit, but talking about EDM means you are talking about trance as well. So you are saying trance should die.
He is absolutely not underrated by proper trancers. I mean, he is Simon Patterson's manager and both of them run VII label. #TheBoss is a fucking legend
***** NO NO NO!! i've been into early techno and trance since about 1991 and back then the term edm didn't exist it was just called dance music or rave music. The term edm was created for youngsters after well after 2000 so you can't re-name something which has had a name for many years-so edm is new shite and everyone needs know this so group all that new pop shite into edm and fuckin leave the good stuff out of that grouping. Trance is dance music or rave music because it has been for over 20 years.
Its a good straightforward trance track... says a lot about the current state of the scene though when you see all these TOTY comments. Everything became so weak in the last decade that decent tracks get hailed as a masterwork. A track like this would have barely stood out in the 2000 - 2004 era, lets be honest with ourselves. Its decent, but nothing special or that memorable - it has a nice production and likeable melody... is that all we really need nowadays :(
Hello HDC. Since you mentioned the "good ol' days" perhaps you can help. I'm trying to find a track I heard back in 2001 that was part of a session (it was the starting track)...I think it might've been part of a John Pigweed session... The track starts with rain in the background, and just gets more and more awesome with the big beats in the background, and some keyboard melodies. I know that's not the best description, but who knows....
New or old? If new, I could only name maybe 10 tracks at a push this year that have reached high levels. If old... I can write you 100 pages :D Thrillseekers - Amber is probably the best from this year, but I assume you would know that one.
No it was an Omnia track released under s107, a sublabel of Armada. Adrian wrote the lyrics and thus owned 1/3 rd of the song. So he gave his red flag because he's terribly uptight about this stuff.
28.06.2024.Perfect😍
Oh look proper trance in the new world. Well done.
John Askew really knows how to drive the energy. This song is freaking AWESOME
John "The Boss" Askew 👊✊
John "The Legend" Askew :D
Still in my head tune of the year for 2016❤❤❤
Tune of the year. THE FUCKING BIG BOSS!!!!!!
could be tune of the year
This is John's best track.
He usually has a powerfull and rhytmic beat but here he tried to work in a melody.
Great job.
even without the vocal samples, this track is incredible
A classic sound. This is what the trance lovers want!
This should be the tune of the year
heard for 1st time on 19 june 2021 and i like it
FERLS LIKE HAPPINESS
BRAVOOOOOOO !!!!!!!
Just like the good ol' times!! Ja!
I follow John from the "Vellum" days
Oh fuck this track is PERFECTION

Uplifting progressive trance as it should be. One massive track from JA.
Niiice! I though that the incident with the 'Closer' sample would be the end of this song in terms of an official release. Not a smart move from John Askew as he is more than capable of coming up with a suitable build-up for the song himself.
Pretty good stuff. ^_^ I can vibe on it.
AMAZING :")
fuck yes!!!!!! tune of the year for sure 😍😍😍

It surely deserves to be, not ASOT TOTY, but from a more decent list.

Trance is dance music or rave music because it has been for over 20 years.
Nice one :)
Coming back to this! It reminds me of a Tekken soundtrack or something 💚
The dreamstate advert has made pretty special
😍
Why can't all trance sound like this???
Krog Shmolgor Because that would be uncreative...
Because it shouldn't all sound the same.
because trance is magical that's only generic and bit of big room kinda of harder then what trance magic sounds like😌
Is bored and you need to know, this track is 100% Trance and there is too many trance variations
It all does, even M.I.K.E has the same Anjunabeats circa 2006 sound now :-(
Stronger than earthquake
SupersoniC 2020
This track is: When i grow up i want to make music like Giuseppe Ottaviani :) Sounds like Vandit 10 years ago ;)
To be fair. He was releasing on Vandit at the same time and played out heavily by PvD in the peak of this sound.
It does sound like his NuNrg days...
E TO JE ADRENALIN I DROGA-MUZIKA KOJA UBIJA.
👍👍👍👍👍
If only those vocal chops were allowed in the first place.
Regardless, it's one hell of an amazing track.

God Within - Raincry? Trancefix.nl has a good ID section in it's forum you should try out, they guys have good knowledge there.
can you send some trance tunes you deem better than this track my way? Would love to hear them! Thanks
New or old? If new, I could only name maybe 10 tracks at a push this year that have reached high levels. If old... I can write you 100 pages :D
Thrillseekers - Amber is probably the best from this year, but I assume you would know that one.
Club trance
the noble six cocoon is better imo
Fuck yea man 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌💋💋💋💋💋👏👏👏👏✨✨✨✨🙈❤️🙈💖
paul van dyk?? ;)
Crush?
TURN UP THE FUCKING SPEAKERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Expected more from askew, sounds like sneijder style.
why there's no susanna's voice ? :(
+Trance Energia it wasn't Susana, it was Adrian & Raz
i know is sounded better with her vocal chops
Mybe you are thinking "unbreakable" that a susanna vocal
+El lobo Corral It vas Suzana vocal sample from track that is released under Adrian & Raz
No it was an Omnia track released under s107, a sublabel of Armada. Adrian wrote the lyrics and thus owned 1/3 rd of the song. So he gave his red flag because he's terribly uptight about this stuff.
fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Expected more from him. Too generic for my taste.
This is the shit
not beautiful ...
No me gusta
All of you commenting this is track of the year & best tune ever apparently never heard Misfit, Chime, or Blackout smfh this is garbage
Boring and forgettable.
