The trance duo of <a href="spotify:artist:1l0YTyeFLRSxT8WYnzHIds">Rowan Blades</a> and Simon Noble comprise Breeder, one of the first production teams to perfect the epic-feeling style of monster dancefloor anthems, championed, most notably, by <a href="spotify:artist:6u4jLGLPuarS3i2XWHVxoS">Sasha</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3xnDktxhudJR2Wv3HZDQ9W">Digweed</a> in the late '90s. Breeder's first two productions, "The Chain" and "Twilo Thunder," functioned best as peak-hour trance anthems favoring a dark, ethereal vibe that takes several minutes to build, rather than the blatant buildups, breakdowns, and synth riffs of progressive trance. Released in 1997, these two tracks in particular were <a href="spotify:artist:6u4jLGLPuarS3i2XWHVxoS">Sasha</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3xnDktxhudJR2Wv3HZDQ9W">Digweed</a> favorites at their monthly Twilo residency and also both appeared on <a href="spotify:artist:6u4jLGLPuarS3i2XWHVxoS">Sasha</a>'s Global Underground: San Francisco, further establishing Breeder as a hot production team. Soon <a href="spotify:artist:1l0YTyeFLRSxT8WYnzHIds">Blades</a> and Noble reaped heavily from these two tracks' success, being offered a number of remix projects from notable producers such as <a href="spotify:artist:3csPCeXsj2wezyvkRFzvmV">Orbital</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:6nX27cZEY7eiAlGFZ01jCd">Tilt</a>. In 2000, another Breeder track invaded trance clubs around the world; titled "Tyrantanic," this anthem was once again championed -- in both its original form and as a remix -- by <a href="spotify:artist:6u4jLGLPuarS3i2XWHVxoS">Sasha</a> and <a href="spotify:artist:3xnDktxhudJR2Wv3HZDQ9W">Digweed</a> on both their Northern Exposure: Expeditions and Communicate mixes, as well as by <a href="spotify:artist:3TjRLW97EAU4w6knKVBl73">Dave Seaman</a> on his high-profile Global Underground: Cape Town mix. In addition to his work in Breeder, <a href="spotify:artist:1l0YTyeFLRSxT8WYnzHIds">Blades</a> runs the Rhythm Syndicate label and also is a member of another popular late '90s trance production duo, <a href="spotify:artist:1O71zVuJ5TKN8zX1gvzrEg">Pariah</a>. ~ Jason Birchmeier, Rovi
