By now, you will know that DJ Cards has been consistently releasing smash hit after smash hit. The genre-defying producer is on a roll, and when we heard that he was back with Forward, we couldn’t wait to immerse ourselves in his universe once again and share our experience.

Forward opens with a dimensional synthscape which feels like a spiritual ascension. The intricacy is cosmic and literally out of this world. A vocal synth riff entices us deeper whilst a gated EDM riser leads us to a super dynamic and expansive energy which feels like the embodiment of Forward momentum.

The sonic ebbs and flows are cohesive and we appreciate the astral notions combined with the euphoric elements. The track is perfect for uplifting your day, working out in the gym, going for a run, or a drive in the sun. It is inspiring and activating at the same time.

The overarching celestial design evokes notions of ancient-futurism, much like his previous release, Cathedral of Light. It feels like a big and uplifting hug from the universe.

Speaking succinctly on the release, DJ Cards says, “Forward serves as a reminder that sometimes the only direction worth traveling is ahead.”

We love the intentionality that DJ Cards creates with and his inspiration to create an emotional and uplifting trance track inspired by the power of momentum and perseverance feels much needed in society today.

For some background, DJ Cards is also known as Philadelphia-based attorney Michael Cardamone, which has earned him the nickname “The Lawyer Who Drops Beats”. He shares how this dual identity has fulled a disciplined, detail-driven approach to production whilst maintaining a bold, creative edge.

We continue to be in awe, and have added Forward to our New Music Spotlight playlist, and our TIMELESS and TRIPPY playlists, whilst we continue to stream DJ Cards‘ growing discography, including Driving, Move With Me, and Lose It in the Lights.
