Shogun releases ‘Lotus’ November 28, the uplifting follow-up to summer anthem ‘Skyfire’
Pin ItYou’d think it would be impossible to follow the success of his last original smash "Skyfire" but American DJ and producer Shogun has proven again that he’s no one-trick pony. His new single "Lotus" drops November 28 on Armind as part of a special double release with "Space Odyssey", one of the break-out tracks on Armin van Buuren’s ‘Universal Religion: Chapter 5‘ and fans of Shogun’s dark, emotional blend of progressive trance won’t be disappointed.
While "Skyfire" was a story about the dark side of humanity and how the world struggles to find peace and sunlight in times of war, "Lotus" proves to listeners that beauty can come from a place of darkness. The lotus flower is a symbol of peace and tranquility – qualities in trance music that Shogun hopes will help fans who are struggling with their own personal issues. An uplifting and euphoric track, the throbbing bass line in "Lotus" keeps the dance floor moving, while a blissful break down prompts arms to raise and infuses the soul with hope.
As an added bonus, the ‘Lotus‘ EP also comes with Shogun’s banger "Space Odyssey", which has been unofficially voted "Best Build-Up of the Year" by its over 30,000 viewers on YouTube. Previously released on Armin’s fifth volume of ‘Universal Religion‘, "Space Odyssey" is an unforgettable tune that has received the support of the industry’s best DJs and electronic music fans worldwide.
Shogun’s ‘Lotus/Space Odyssey‘ EP will be available exclusively on Beatport starting on November 28 and released to all other retailers on December 12.
