Melodic dance producer Jason Ross returns to Seven Lions’ Ophelia label with his new single ‘Where In Heaven’ with Swedish singer and songwriter Dotter. The track, high in energy and emotional resonance is a breath of nostalgia. While listening to ‘Where In Heaven,’ listeners are transported back to simpler times. The 2018-melodic-dubstep-esque melody and giant reverb built into the track take you back to festivals in their golden age — a time before COVID, Tik Tok effect, and global unrest. Listen here.
Ross is one of dance music’s premier acts, while simultaneously being one of the scene’s more elusive figureheads. That’s not due to any fault of his productions, but rather, purely due to his versatility. Once a mainstay on the legendary Anjunabeats and a rising star of new age trance shepherded by Above & Beyond and co, Jason quickly outgrew the boundaries of four to the floor grooves, expanding into the less finite space of broken beats and pop vocals of melodic bass. A blossoming working relationship with melodic bass propagator Seven Lions led to genre defining tracks like Higher Love and Ocean, backed up by beautiful, elongated and gently weaving trance discography featuring the likes of Cairo, Atlas, and his 2019 Anjunabeats EP Rooms. The ability to weave the emotion and hypnosis of trance into the more commercial grit of melodic bass has made Jason’s recent catalog uniquely his own. His unique multi-genre tinged approach to production shines on genre-defining tracks like Shelter, his Blanke collab One More Day, his solo single Wild Ones, and his Gryffin collab After You, among others.
