The Digital Blonde - N3ON (2021)

Over the past three decades The Digital Blonde has created a cult following, his now legendary 90's hit 'Legato' cemented this journey and from then on he's been delivering a sound that can only be described as his own. Over the years he's stayed true to his take on the Trance world, along with his obsession with synthesizers, we now see this in the third series of his new album 'NEON'. It's a nod back to the 80's synth world where he ground his teeth as a producer, made music with that 80's synth ethos, but with a forward thinking dusting of the Blonde sound that projects it into the future.

Here's a few words from the man himself:

Writing Neon 3 has been a huge challenge for me, as I know the impact the last 2 albums have had on people. So trying to keep the feeling going for the third album was a scary decision to make, it's hard to put into words how much heart and soul goes into these albums, not just because of the music but because of the visions I had with these tracks and trying to bring it all to life so I can share these experiences with people. It's about putting everything I have ever learnt over the last 33 years of writing music with synthesizers and creating a magical fantasy journey. These albums are created so you can mix them in different ways to create different experiences. I truly believe that this is what the spirit of real Trance music is.

'The fade to grey' remake is very special to me, you see all my life I have wanted to remake this but have never felt confident enough to do so. 'Fade to grey' was the first track that opened the synthesizer world up for me many years ago, so my main challenge with this mix was to show the original, with the respect it deserves , and to keep the original feel and vibe of it.

Every track on Neon 3 has it's own story of how it was born, its' a very dark journey this time round but with some nice uplifting sections. There's a lot of futuristic storytelling , the visions and journeys your mind can take you on when listening to these Neon albums are endless, they're actually more like audio movies!

This will be the last Neon album, making the trilogy complete, I hope they have and will take you onto some amazing journeys. I also must add all the hard work, imagination and creativity that has gone into the artwork for all 3 albums has been nothing short of pure genius, so thank you to the great artist Dragomir Bojkilov. I hope you enjoy the brilliance of his artwork as much as I do.

I sincerely hope you enjoy this album as much as I have done making it. These albums have been a crazy roller coaster ride to bring to life, but so worth it.

So once again it's seat belts fastened we're off on another and final Neon adventure.
