Orbit's remixes carry his signature electronic sounds and techniques, making them sought after by fans of his solo work. He also worked with pop girl trio Sugababes.
His newest work has involved writing an orchestral piece, which was performed by the BBC Philharmonic at the Manchester International Festival in July 2007.

98-99 was for me the gold age for trance music, this master piece makes impossible to forget.

Early/Mid 90s was way way better, less cheesy Millenial crap that was coming out. Way more Raves ans underground funk!

Trance has so much emotion and energy to it. It’s insane how much depth there is.

A classic piece with the trance elements by William Orbit and Ferry Corsten is brilliant. One of my favourites in the 90s

This version I love the most, it still sends shivers down my spine
