Album lore

Oliver Smith’s 2025 single “Bewitched” emerges on his own label, aligning with the Anjunabeats tradition of trance and progressive trance. This solitary track, clocking in as a focused statement, showcases Smith’s aptitude for uplifting trance motifs, weaving bright synth lines over steady, driving percussion. The release’s modest footprint, with just over 2,700 listeners on Last.fm, marks it as a quiet but deliberate addition to the mid-decade trance canon. While “Bewitched” does not expand into an extended suite, its concise construction offers a distilled emblem of the genre’s mid-2020s style, rooted in polished production values characteristic of Smith’s output. It stands as a signal from an artist maintaining his course amid the flux of electronic subgenres, favoring clarity and melodic momentum over excessive ornamentation.
