They have embarked on something that is first in their careers i.e. releasing a full length album entitled ‘Global Monster’. This fifteen track album is based on the big room trance style that Heatbeat are famous for. They have collaborated with artists like Chris Schweizer and Bjorn Akesson taking the album to another level altogether.

‘Bloody Moon’ is a straight forward prime time banger that will move and shake music lovers around the world. It melts together thunderous kicks and rough electro infused basslines along with epic synths that prepare the audience for the rest of the audio spectacle. The breakdown is truly epic with variety of synthy plucks performing the main anthemic theme.

Heatbeat’s collaboration with Quilla called “Secret” is also featured on the album. It starts on an aggressive note with sharp drums but when the sweet breakdown arrives, we know that we are in the safe hands of feel good emotional melodies, airy floating synths and mesmerizing vocals.

“I Can’t See You” features the vocal talents of Leonie Meijer. Look out for bouncy beats; electro kissed raw basslines and melancholic piano chords in the breakdown and euphoric trance influenced synths perfectly blended with dubstep sounds in the climax to drive the crowd crazy and over the top.

“Berserker” is a more progressive trance track with techy beats, chopped ethereal vocal samples and melodramatic melodic layers.

‘Aerys’ is a real masterpiece, cranking up and glitching sounds in ways that will burn dancefloors across the globe. The result is something that only the Argentinean duo could have come up with.

“The Beast” is a brilliant modern futuristic slice of euphoria that moves within the realms of big room trance with focus on the heavy basslines, booming beats and the very strong colorful melodies.

For the massive “Nasty”, Heatbeat combine their creative impulses with Chris Schweizer. Based on tough techy beats, trance infused euphoric synths and clever sound effects, this track will keep your ear glued on the loudspeakers.

Felina’ is the next bomb to be dropped. The duo teamed up with Buenos Aires local Rodrigo Deem, with the mission to kill, wow and amaze. You can expect rough bouncy beats, foot thumping basslines and orchestral classical music theme in the breakdown.

“Buenosaurus” is a highly eclectic hybrid of sounds and arrangement techniques that you can identify as the “Heatbeat” style.

“Pharaon” marks Heatbeat’s collaboration with Bjorn Akesson. This track has a melodic breakdown with heavenly vocals. It’s the kind of tech trance sthat has some funk and groove as well.

“Again” starts off with old school rave stabs leading to a breakdown filled with symphonic riffs. It’s packed with fresh ideas, experimentation and creative flair that Heatbeat are known for throughout the globe.

‘Excocet’ surprises, intrigues and blows you away. This track is very versatile and cleverly done. Listeners will get hooked on to it because of its drive and dynamism.

‘Magical Princess Owl’ is a track which is a down-tempo, classical song, combined with epic and dark melodies.

On the whole, ‘Global Monster’ is a bouquet of all kinds of electronic music ranging from melodic, down-tempo songs to the most typical Heatbeat sound. Each track speaks out a story of its own which is emotional and rhythmic. This album has all tracks to cater to various human moods and feelings.
