    FLOATING
    AWAY

    A reconstructed vocal trance signal that quietly travelled the globe.

    Produced under the Santoro identity, "Floating Away" represents the emotional core of the De Burna archive. A signal that moved from Germany to Switzerland, and eventually to Japanese trance compilations.

    A signal that quietly travelled internationally through trance compilation culture.

    The Santoro identity was an exploration of emotion. While other aliases focused on the hard-dance floor, Santoro was designed for the late-night drive home. "Floating Away" perfectly captured this frequency.

    Released via Pulsive Media, the track began a quiet, international journey. It appeared on "Trance Voices Volume 17" in Europe, and eventually found its way to Japan on "Trance Rave Best #4".

    It is a prime example of how compilation ecosystems functioned as global distribution networks in the early 2000s, carrying signals far beyond their origin.
