Woohoo! My new single 'Forward Forever' is out now. This is really special one for me because the title defines the whole ethos of electronic music culture to me.
The track has been premiered at Armin’s A State of Trance, Dreamstate USA and Luminosity and people always seem to go crazy and ask what the track was.
Out now in Beatport, Spotify, Apple Music, iTunes and all other music services.
Hope you enjoy and feel free to spread the love and share the track if you like it <3
Amazing track and very original as well, I just love the groove...and the typical Orkidea melody is god-like :)
again a genius production like always,you are as a producer next level,you are probably 50 years ahead on your time ;-) keep up the good work tapio ;-)
Olivia i love it 😍 he‘s such a legend 💞
Every time we have heard you drop this over the last year, it just goes off!!!
Loved your music for years but over the last year you have become THE ONE <3
Big track! Really big!! 🙌🙌
I just listen to it,and it’s awesome!! 🙌🙌
Wonderful tune from a super DJ/producer 🙌🙌🙌
This track is absolutely insane! I love it! 😍 💗 🎵 💃
Wow. Absolutely amazing track!
Andy Jeffery hope its played on sat at Trance Sanctuary 😀
...finally! 🥊💥
Love the crisp sounds - as always. But otherwise this somehow feels very repetitive (and I thought this particular FFEBN-sample could have stayed buried since it was overused in the past) and like a poorer younger brother of your excellent Revolution Industrielle, which felt fresher and more dynamic overall. In short, this track feels like it *screams* for remixing. Wouldn't listen to it again.
Heavy ⏩
ASOT 886 the ADE: Solarstone start his set with this track......and then...... the madness begins in the studio, the ceiling want to going down🔥👏
Awesome track..... Keep on, forward forever!!!!! We all do!!!
Forward forever!

Big news on the DJ bookings side: I've been signed to be part of The VII - a DJ, event and label collective formed by Simon Patterson, Sean Tyas, John Askew, Will Atkinson, Alex Di Stefano and one more new member announced soon. These are all legends on their own and I'm honored, excited and happy to be part of their crew from now on.
I'll be doing the opening duties at their events around the world - a task I really like as warming up a room and building the vibe slowly is something I've always been a fan of. First event: Rong Events warehouse party in Manchester in Feb 2019.
I will continue being part of the Pure Trance events and label family and my worldwide bookings and management will continue to be handled by Silver Lining Agency <3
Forward Forever, Backwards Never...Time for evolution.
When we started VII the vision was to always be a collective that featured each member in equal measure. In truth it has mostly been about only five of us. We would say this has been due to our inability to properly fuse two very different worlds.
Both sides tried hard but in the end it didn’t quite gel in a few key areas and as such we are now parting ways with two dear friends Astrix & Freedom Fighters.
Astrix will still play Manchester on Feb 2nd but this will be the last show we do with him as a VII member.
The split is entirely amicable and we all remain good friends. So no, there’s no back story, no gossip, no drama – just a series of unfortunate circumstances that led to us loosing some fluidity and momentum. We want to take this opportunity to thank both Avi and Shahaf for their incredible music, passion and energy that they kindly contributed while in VII. Respect.
Hosting our own stage at Tomorrowland this year was an incredible moment. It was a moment that followed the equally amazing experience of having our own stage at EDC Las Vegas 2017 but one thing became apparent at these gigs and that was the fact that if we were to ever make line up changes to VII – we absolutely needed to find and bring in the best opening DJ we possibly could.
A scene setter, tone developer and story starter.
We were a line up exclusively made up of banging peak time music so asking any one of us to open meant that DJ having to compromise his sound. Within the team we agreed that if and when that time came - we needed a master craftsman at setting the tone, teasing people in, making them fall in love and preparing them to be driven.
In a recent meeting between Patterson, Askew, Atkinson and Tyas three names were discussed at great length for this role. It needed to be someone we had already worked with and someone we all knew had the right fit - as a person, artist, producer and of course DJ. They needed to fit the brand and be compatible to our work ethos. In the end, while much debate ensued - there was one name that got the unanimous vote.
Crew worldwide – please give a warm welcome to - Orkidea.
We have all toured with Tapio before and he is without doubt one of the coolest cats in the field. Put him behind the decks and he oozes class and has a deep rooted understanding of how to properly work a room. He is one of the best progressive DJs and producers in the world and we’re super excited to announce him as a new Shadow in VII (number 4).
Orkidea’s first appearance for us will be at VII Manchester on Feb 2nd and his first release for the label will come in the next Black Chapter that kicks off in early 2019.
The other new Shadow (number 7) we will announce in early January, but he is confirmed, he is an absolute headliner and his music is the very definition of optimum level peak time.
We believe these changes will enable us to present you with more music from more perspectives and of course more live shows. We are insanely excited to share everything with you but first let’s focus on Manchester.....where the line up goes a little something like this:
Astrix
Simon Patterson
Sean Tyas
John Askew
Will Atkinson
Alex Di Stefano
Orkidea
Tickets on sale on Wednesday 14th.

Very special private mix of one of my all time favourite pop/rock songs. Continuing my Pure Progressive Mix series after the previous remixes of Eric Prydz, M83, Kate Bush and Florence + The Machine.
Amazing! My one year old son smiled & started to dance when he heard it. He definitely has a good taste of music :]
Saw you playing this one live at Transmission and 2x Luminosity, and hoped that you're going to release it one day. My life is complete now :) Also, tagging Judit, pretty sure she loves this one, too.
Michel - yet another amazing track by the master... 🙏🏻❤️🎧🔥🔛🎯😍
Thank you very much. Great.
Beautiful
Great Work 👌😃🎶
Love this one!
Omg this is so awsome!!! Many many many thx orkidea 💙💙💙
Hey quick question: I downloaded this and ran it through my rekordbox and the bpm came up as 127.50, is that correct? I tried setting it to just 127 and then 128, but the beat grid seems to not stay on beat when I do. Sorry if this is a dumb question, I’m new to using rekordbox. Thanks in advance.
THANK YOU!!!! I really hope we will hear it again at TS💖💖💖
This is the charm. Pure beautiful. This one changed my whole life experience of progressive trance.
Massive fan of the original. Great remix. Thanks
Dude that’s a cool remix as well as your epic Kate Bush track ☄️💥
Finally! Thank you so much! 👍
Simon Webb you know what to do.
