Amidst the serene woodlands of Norway, Mikkel Rev and his pals from the flourishing Ute Records label collective entertain free-spirited ravers in captivating Trance revivals. Together they kindle a euphoric atmosphere with an intelligent and sophisticated approach.

Following this astute spirit, The Art of Levitation introduces the multifaceted realm of electronic music originating in Mikkel Rev’s visionary mind. Starting with elements of classic electronic ambient, this album gradually transforms into an ecstatic and progressive sphere, culminating in a heartfelt tribute to the most exquisite moments of Trance. The Art of Levitation echoes the diversity of electronic ambient albums from the 90s, featuring varying tempos and energies. With ‘Leave (Outro)’ and ‘Nothing So Hidden’, Mikkel Rev gently concludes a blissful night out with atmospheric ambient aftercare.
