Trivia
❓ The track's title is also the track's time signature: rather than a conventional 4x4 beat, Rank 1 opted for a 7/8th time signature. Confused? Count the claps in the breakdown per melody loop: there are 14 rather than 16 hits. ;)
❓ The hype surrounding "7 Instead Of 8" directly LED (hehehe) to the creation of "Elements Of Nature" (2013)! M.I.K.E. himself was praising Rank 1 on Twitter for 'bringing back the oldskool' with this instant Classic when a Trance fan called Ramball0 joined in the conversation and urged these two Legends to make a track together. The guys instantly agreed, sparking a huge wave of anticipation for one of the most Titanic team-ups Trance music had ever seen. Just a couple of weeks later "Elements Of Nature" saw light of day and in 2015 it would be succeeded by siblings "Juno" and "Zenith"!
❓ 7 Instead Of 8 was Rank 1's first solo track in a while, since "Symfo" (2009) to be exact.
❓ Armin van Buuren picked 7 Instead Of 8 as Tune Of The Week on Episode #583 of his A State Of Trance radioshow which aired on Thursday October 18th, 2012.
❓ 7 Instead Of 8 featured a P.H.A.T.T. Remix (as part of High Contrast Recordings' Miami Trance 2013 compilation). This was followed by a Equinøx Remix in 2024.
💬 Ferry Corsten
The next track in the show comes from the hands of Dutch duo, Rank 1...
After tracks such as "Airwave", "It's Up To You" and "Symfo", they are back with another smasher! Out soon via High Contrast Recordings, this is "7 Instead Of 8"!
