Techno Trance DJ John De La Mora Releases Serenity Vol 2
Chicago, Illinois (WiredPRNews.com) September 4, 2009 — DJ John De La Mora, one of America’s most eminent ambassadors of electronic dance music announces the release of Serenity Volume 2 - 70+ minutes of the most beautiful and jawdropping sounds and beats in trance and techno music today. A heart-pounding, non-stop mix, this release will be made available in 320kbps vbr mp3 format as a free download at: www.johndelamora.com
Serenity Volume 2 is the follow to the original installment of the Serenity series. That release garnered Mr. De La Mora with international acclaim and recognition as being one of the most dynamic non-stop mix releases of the new millennium. Serenity Volume 2 promises even more beauty, power, energy and euphoria.
“I’ve had this project on the backburner for some time, as I found myself quite busy with other projects; playing overseas in Germany and India, as well as my continous, ongoing project of being the presenter and mixer of the Official Trance Nation Radio Show every week. I’ve longed for the opportunity to mix together and showcase some of the most amazing producers, remixers, ideas and sounds in electronic dance today using Serenity Volume 2 as that vehicle - and now I have seized upon a window of opportunity,” said Mr. De La Mora.
“The music scene in the U.S. in general is slow to evolve and adapt to new sounds. While rock, pop, hip-hop and contry music dominate radio formats domestically - the rest of the world listens to and dances to a different beat - with trance & techno being 2 of the most popular sounds for quite some time now. With Serenity Volume 2 I aim to ramp up the pressure on radio program directors in the U.S. to explore and program electronic dance music because it’s fans are fierely loyal to outlets in which they can obtain a steady diet of this amazing music.”
This new volume in the Serenity series promises to be a virtual who’s who in the worldwide techno trance music scene today, though the actual tracklist itself will remain sealed and under wraps until the official release of Serenity Volume 2 which has been slated for Tuesday, September 8.
Chicago-based DJ and radio producer John De La Mora is the presenter and mixer of the Official Trance Nation Radio Show which airs on 70+ stations with 10 million listeners each week around the world. The show is also made available each week as a free podcast. The Trance Nation Project began in 1994 and includes the Trance Nation mix CD series - the longest running and of the most successful mix CD series in all of music, with millions of units sold worldwide.

“FeelingPulledApartbyHorses is written & played by Jonny and I and is a radical rework of an old tune that's been kicking around without a home since 2001? i think,” says Yorke via press release in his customarily typo-ridden style. “The Hollow Earth is a bass menace that was born out of the Eraser period but needed a little more time.”
The vinyl single will be released Sept. 21 via the band’s W.A.S.T.E. online store, or in “good” record stores, Yorke says, “if you are lucky enough to have one near you.” The songs are scheduled for digital release on Oct. 6.

In addition to "Humanoid" cover art, a clip of the album's title track has also emerged. "At the end of this track we got rid of all the normal song structures. 'Humanoid' has so many different parts and melodies, it's a weird journey that might be a little confusing at the beginning, but we can't wait to play it live," so Bill said of the song.
Tokio Hotel's third studio album, "Humanoid" is scheduled to be released across United States on October 6. "We have a song but there are many different ways to interpret the song. And we have to find the best interpretation. We, then start to experiment with each song by changing the guitar-sounds or modifying my voice," Bill explained about what to expect from the set.
