Originally released in June 2007, Magenta by French producers Arno Cost and Arias remains one of the defining records of the progressive house era. Instantly recognizable from its very first seconds, the track's emotional and transporting synth melody captivated clubbers and DJs around the world, earning its place as a true international club anthem.

Blending uplifting energy, melodic sophistication, and a powerful groove, Magenta crossed genre boundaries to become a staple on dancefloors worldwide. Supported by some of the biggest names in electronic music, including Eric Prydz and Axwell, the record became one of the most talked-about tracks of its time and was notably among the most played records during the Amsterdam Dance Event.

The EP features the original version of Magenta alongside two acclaimed remixes from Dave Spoon and Tom Novy, each offering a unique interpretation of the timeless classic.
