Trance has this way of grabbing you by the chest and not letting go. One second you’re just listening, the next you’re somewhere else entirely. Steve Dekay’s new track “The Roots,” out now on Dreamstate Records, does exactly that.
Hailing from Colombia, Steve Dekay has spent years carving out a serious name in the global trance scene. His music has found homes on labels like Armada Music, Vandit Records, FSOE, Black Hole, Coldharbour and more. The guy has worked directly with Paul van Dyk on tracks like “Aurora” from the Music Rescues Me album and “Impact” from Guiding Light. That kind of collaboration doesn’t happen by accident.
What stands out about Dekay is how consistently his productions get support from the biggest names in the game. Aly & Fila, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Solarstone, Giuseppe Ottaviani, Marco V and Ferry Corsten have all been spinning his music. Several of his tracks have climbed to the top of the Beatport charts. When artists at that level keep coming back to your sound, you know you’re doing something right.
As a DJ, Dekay has shared stages with Paul van Dyk, Aly & Fila, Alex M.O.R.P.H, Cosmic Gate, Sander van Doorn, Sunnery James & Ryan Marciano, Sean Tyas, Will Atkinson and Solarstone. Performances at Shine Ibiza with Paul van Dyk and the Street Parade in Zurich are the kind of moments that stay with both the artist and the crowd.
“The Roots” arrives on Dreamstate Records, the label where Dekay is currently focusing a lot of his energy. Trance right now is in an interesting place. Melodic, driving tracks with strong emotional cores are cutting through more than ever, and producers who can deliver that combination of power and feeling are the ones getting attention. Dekay has always operated in that space, and this latest release continues the thread.
There’s something special about hearing a producer who has already proven himself on the biggest stages still digging into new material with clear focus. “The Roots” feels like another step in a career built on consistency and quality rather than short-term hype.
