New Year, ‘New Horizons’: ALPHA 9’s Album Sets the Bar for Progressive

The debut album from ALPHA 9, New Horizons, showcases some of his finest work yet as he combines new and old elements of progressive trance.

It’s been a long journey for ALPHA 9. Debuting nearly a decade ago as Arty and long-heralded as trance’s star boy, the Russian producer has left his mark on the dance scene throughout the 2010s. Last March, he dropped a hint that his debut album was on the way at Beyond Wonderland SoCal and then officially announced its release date after his set at ABGT500, pledging that New Horizons is the culmination of the “beginning of ALPHA 9’s artistry up to now.”
