podcast@toucanmusic.com (John Dalling) — 20 October 2009 21:30:00 GMT

Our new release today celebrates the tenth anniversary of two classic trance tracks from Hyperterminal. First produced in March 1999, "Thirty One" was the debut Hyperterminal track and defined the trademark synth driven Hyperterminal sound. It was "Seeking You", produced in September 1999 and released online in December, that slowly brought Hyperterminal recognition and led to a record deal. Ten years on, and the tracks have been remade in a contemporary, upfront tech-trance style with thumping rhythms, bouncy tech bass and soaring trance synths and arpeggios. Both tracks as usual are full length and completely free to download under a Creative Commons licence at our website http://www.toucanmusic.co.uk
