To mark the occasion, he’s partnered with Rush Hour to release Lift Off, a brand-new album of music recorded at different points over the last decade.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eArriving almost 35 years since he wowed the world with his game-changing debut, the Afterlife EP, Lift Off was inspired by Trent’s desire to ‘let the imagination speak for itself’ while exploring the diverse influences that have shaped his unique musical perspective. A departure from his previous album, 2022’s downtempo masterpiece as Warm, What Do The Stars Say To You, the 10-track set features a mixture of epic instrumentals, inspired collaborations and vocal cuts whose music was written with certain singers in mind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e While it features music that ripples with the experienced producer’s familiar aural trademarks – rich rhythms, warm chords, impeccable instrumentation, inspired arrangements, and lashings of heady hand percussion – it also consciously explores a variety of sounds and tempos, in the process blurring the lines between the past, present, and future. It’s a vision, in his words, of what dance music can become.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor proof, check the five tremendous tracks on\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epart two\u003c\/strong\u003e. There’s the AM radio-ready warmth, guitar-flecked looseness, and eyes-closed bliss of ‘Just Another Love Song’, where Trent’s own multi-tracked vocals catch the ear, the slow-motion, head-nodding deep space bliss of ‘Juice’ and alternative Balearic love song ‘And Fly Away’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePart two of the vinyl edition also includes two superb collaborations. Fellow Rush Hour artist Lars Bartkuhn lends his virtuoso guitar skills to ‘Street Wave’, a future house classic laden with nods to jazz-funk and fusion, while regular collaborator Harry Dennis (best known for his work as part of early Chicago house outfit Jungle Wonz) adds a poetic and emotion-filled spoken word vocal to the equally inspired ‘Her’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col class=\"tracklist list-processed\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"odd track first play-button-processed\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"track-511998\" class=\"ds-1col entity entity-paragraphs-item paragraphs-item-track view-mode-full  clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-title\"\u003ejust another love song\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-audio button-icon-only-play\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"even track play-button-processed\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"track-511999\" class=\"ds-1col entity entity-paragraphs-item paragraphs-item-track view-mode-full  clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-title\"\u003ejuice\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-audio button-icon-only-play\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"odd track play-button-processed\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"track-512000\" class=\"ds-1col entity entity-paragraphs-item paragraphs-item-track view-mode-full  clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-title\"\u003eand fly away\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-audio button-icon-only-play\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"even track play-button-processed\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"track-512001\" class=\"ds-1col entity entity-paragraphs-item paragraphs-item-track view-mode-full  clearfix\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"field field-name-field-title\"\u003estreet wave feat.
