Belfast Trailblazer Trance Wax Releases His Forward-Thinking Fire-Track ‘Hold On 2 U’ EP on Dreamstate Records
Trance Wax is the trance-driven alias of Belfast producer Garry McCartney, also known for his work in the house and techno scene as Ejeca. With Trance Wax, McCartney pays homage to the golden era of trance while injecting a fresh, modern energy into the genre—earning acclaim for his ability to blend nostalgic melodies with contemporary production. His reimagined take on trance has resonated strongly within both underground and mainstream circles, establishing him as a key figure in the genre’s revival.
After making waves in the studio, Trance Wax has recently made a mark on the global stage. He made his U.S. debut with a closing set at Dreamstate San Francisco, followed by a standout performance at EDC Las Vegas on the quantumVALLEY stage. Up next, he’s set to close out the Nothing But Trouble party at Eden Ibiza, continuing a breakout year of high-profile appearances and electrifying sets that showcase his unique sonic vision.
Trance Wax returns to Dreamstate Records with Hold On 2 U, a five-track EP that bridges trance’s nostalgic roots with forward-thinking sound design. Blending analog textures, soaring arpeggios, and acid-soaked leads, Belfast-based producer Garry McCartney (aka Ejeca) delivers a cinematic, emotionally-charged listening experience. The title track sets the tone with euphoric ‘90s rave energy, while previously released singles like “Your Fantasy” and “Neva Let You Go” showcase his knack for melodic hooks and club momentum. “E” dives into darker, more psychedelic territory, and the closer “Feel Your Love” (featuring Katy Alex) wraps the project with warmth and drive.
The EP has already garnered support from trance icons like Armin van Buuren and Paul van Dyk, reinforcing Trance Wax’s growing influence in the genre. Known for his analog-heavy live sets and genre-bending approach, McCartney continues to evolve his Trance Wax alias into a leading voice in the scene. Hold On 2 U is not just a tribute to the past—it’s a bold, emotional vision of trance’s future.
