Hemstock and Mercurial Virus deliver an uplifting trance masterpiece with "Sekhmet" on ZYX Trance. At 138 BPM, it blends euphoric trance elements with rich Middle Eastern motifs. The track opens with powerful, rounded kicks and pulsating basslines, crafted with precise sidechain compression for that classic trance "pump." Metallic drums with high-pass filters add clarity, while intricate synth layers—featuring analog-modeling sawtooth riffs with reverb and delay—create spatial depth.
The cinematic breakdown showcases traditional Middle Eastern instruments like the oud, darbuka, and qanun, processed with EQ and reverb for an ethereal feel. As the ethnic melodies fade, soaring synths with lush pads and unison detuning build to an emotionally charged climax. A massive drum roll leads to an anthemic finale, fusing euphoric synths with lingering cultural motifs. "Sekhmet" is a sonic journey and must-listen for trance enthusiasts. it's now available on ZYX Trance.
