I was pleasantly surprised to receive a review from Sounds2Buy.com, which is a new resource for musicians of all genres. Thanks Ben Rivaux for the unbiased review of my material! It means a lot to me to be acknowledged for my music and not just my message.

    Ambient, uplifting and dream-like: Digging the dance tunes of Digital Aura

I have to admit it’s not every day I wrap my ears around a mix described as “Christian trance and dance”, but I’m open-minded when it comes to music – especially anything by new, unsigned artists. And I should point out that Digital Aura – aka Ontario-based Greg Primmer – emphasises that his tunes are not at all intended for Christians only. Yeah, he aims for his music and biblical-based lyrics to be an extension of his praise to the god he believes in, but that’s not to say there’s nothing here for any who chooses to believe in other – or, indeed, no – entities!

Digital Aura’s tunes are all about the ethereal female vocals and catchy melodic hooks, a combination surely as universal in its appeal as your average chart-topping fare? The difference here is that you’re tempted away from the mainstream towards a particular brand of trance that has so far remained underground and generally away from secular ears.

If you fancy breaking yourself in gently to what may be a new sound, check out a couple of Digital Aura’s most listened-to tracks on Sounds2Buy so far: U2 vs. Pink (Mashup) and U2 vs. Digital Aura – MLK (‘Bad’ House Mix). Let your ears lilt to the earthy tones of Bono’s voice set against a meditative rhythm that would melt even the hardest of souls! Like Digital Aura I’m a big fan of U2, so I could be biased, but don’t let that stop you from delving deeper into the music of this artist, who weaves melody lines and harmonies together like the best dance veterans before him.

From the seminal Lift Your Head Up, through pensive classic Grace Like Rain, to the epic 2day 4ever, Digital Aura’s songs leave you in no doubt as to why global DJs have been spinning his ambient, uplifting and dream-like music from Scandinavia to Singapore.
