Nicholas Gunn and Alina Renae Release New Trance Single "Chasing Butterflies" on Blue Dot Trance
Nicholas Gunn is a classically trained songwriter, lyricist and producer who has worked for more than thirty‑five years across a range of styles including world, ambient, trance and deep house. He founded Blue Dot Music, a record label and publishing company that has issued a wide variety of electronic releases. Gunn’s catalog includes instrumental projects such as Pacific Blue (2020) and Sound Condition (2021), and he has collaborated with a number of vocalists in the trance and melodic house scenes.
Alina Renae is a singer‑songwriter who has appeared on several of Gunn’s tracks. The two artists have previously worked together on releases such as "Older" and "In The End," which were noted for their emotive vocal lines and Gunn’s signature melodic production.
"Chasing Butterflies" is a single that appears on the catalog number BDT9638E. The track is an extended mix that runs for 0:00 minutes, according to the YouTube upload that lists the release date as September 11 2026. The promotional material for the single describes the music as a trance‑influenced track that incorporates an old‑school kick drum, warm chords, and a melodic arpeggio line. The article also notes that the arrangement is designed to be experienced in a meditative state, with a breakdown that encourages listeners to pause and reflect.
Blue Dot Trance has positioned itself as a niche imprint within Blue Dot Music, focusing on high‑quality trance and melodic house releases. In 2024 the label issued more than 85 tracks, a figure that underscores its active role in the electronic music market. The release of "Chasing Butterflies" continues that trend and adds another collaboration to Gunn’s growing list of vocal partnerships.
The single is available on major streaming platforms, including Spotify and Apple Music, and can be purchased in high‑resolution format on Beatport. The YouTube channel for the track provides an official video that matches the audio release, and the track is also listed on the ElektraBeats website under the Blue Dot Trance catalog.
At present, "Chasing Butterflies" is the latest addition to Gunn’s and Renae’s discographies. No further releases have been announced for the immediate future, and the artists have not disclosed any touring plans that would feature the new single. The track’s availability on streaming services and its placement on Blue Dot Trance’s catalog suggest that the release is intended for both casual listeners and DJs who specialize in trance and melodic house.
The single’s release on September 11 2026 adds to the ongoing output of Blue Dot Music and reinforces the label’s commitment to high‑production electronic music. Fans of Gunn’s instrumental work and Renae’s vocal style can find the track on Spotify, YouTube, and Beatport, while industry observers note that the collaboration continues a pattern of cross‑genre partnerships that have become a hallmark of the label’s recent strategy.
