Euphoric. Inviting. Unforgettable. Andrew Rayel captures the longing of an adventurer in every exhilarating bar of his latest endeavor. With a little help from the lovely Lola Blanc, Rayel adds one more gripping trance anthem to his already impressive discography. Andrew Rayel's "Horizon" (inHarmony Music) is out now.

The Original Mix of "Horizon" launches into Lola Blanc's angelic vocal with zero hesitation, immediately creating an infectious air of wanderlust. Gently plucked synths follow soon after, illuminating each beckoning verse with the tranquil warmth of a setting sun. The lead melody finally makes its presence known and eclipses everything else that came before it. Andrew Rayel beautifully complements the song's poignant lyrics with this crescendo of aural triumph, which fades away momentarily before returning with a vengeance at the track's epoch-making drop. The Extended Mix extends a minute-and-a-half longer than the Original Mix, providing any DJ looking to utilize it as a mainstage weapon with more than enough room for liftoff and landing. "Horizon" sends a message loud and clear: Andrew Rayel is primed and ready to conquer what new trance terrain 2018 brings and he wants you to accompany him on the journey.

Hailed by Armin van Buuren as "the future of trance music," Andrew Rayel (real name: Andrei Rata) is a classically trained electronic dance music DJ and producer from Moldova often referred to as the "modern-day Mozart." As a DJ, Rayel exudes an unbridled enthusiasm for the music he plays and his onstage performances are electric and filled with physical energy. Drenched in a well-earned sweat after every set, Rayel earns his position as a bandleader, stirring up his crowds' passion as much with his music selection as with his bodily vigor. He has DJ'd the world's biggest festivals, including: Ultra Music Festival in Miami, TomorrowLand in Belgium and TomorrowWorld in Atlanta, Stereosonic in Australia, Global Gathering in the UK and other countries, Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, Electric Zoo in New York, Transmission Festival in various countries, Ministry of Sound in the UK, Dreamstate in San Bernardino, Electronic Family in Amsterdam, Zoukout in Singapore and Together Festival in Thailand. Rayel is a regular on the lineup at various ASOT stages around the world. Nightclub residencies have him performing onstage at super-clubs, including: Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub in Las Vegas, Marquee and LAVO in New York, Ushuaïa Beach Club in Ibiza, Zouk in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Escape in Amsterdam and Ministry of Sound in London.

Whether as an actress, model or singer/songwriter, Lola Blanc exudes the creative magnetism of a shining starlet. Vibe hails her as a "funky pop songstress," Playboy as a "rising star," Refinery29 as "one badass chick," and Ladygunn Magazine as "one to watch." In 2013, she co-wrote the Britney Spears pop sensation, "Ooh La," which appeared on the official soundtrack of the film, The Smurfs 2. To date, Blanc has worked with such prolific pop songwriters and producers as Dr. Luke, Jon Levine, Fernando Garibay and Jimmy Harry. In addition to numerous independent films and web shorts, Blanc has also appeared as an actress on the programs, Under the Silver Lake, Life in Pieces and American Horror Story: Hotel.

Launched in September, 2017, inHarmony Music is the record label headed by Andrew Rayel and distributed by Armada Music. As label chief and head of A&R for inHarmony Music, Rayel is the key decision-maker when it comes to signing new artists and music. Fulfilling a lifelong dream while on his never-ending career quest, Rayel is now able to do for new artists what Armin van Buuren did for Rayel years ago. The circle is complete and there will be an abundant supply of lovingly curated new music ahead.
