Ciaran McAuley Gives Himself ‘Permission To Exhale’ on Debut Album

Ciaran McAuley can finally breathe a sigh of relief as he delivers his debut album on Black Hole Recordings, Permission To Exhale!


Most dance music lovers will never know the time, energy, passion, and commitment that goes into crafting a full-length artist LP, and for trance aficionado Ciaran McAuley, this process has evolved him not only as a producer but as a human. Out now on Black Hole Recordings, Permission To Exhale breaks the norm of the typical dance floor soundscape to cloak listeners in the heat of cinematic melodies, featuring dynamic collaborations provided by motivational speakers, film and TV composers, and industry tastemakers.

16 tracks deep, Permission To Exhale kicks off with a narrative from motivational speaker Eddie Pinero before gently weaving listeners through spellbinding melodies full of energetic twists and turns, and moments that will inspire tears to flow like rain. Along the way, you’ll run into gems that have adopted their shine from co-writers like Hollywood composer Jeff Rona, the man responsible for the music on popular shows like Traffic, Chicago Hope, and EarthSea. Of course, you can’t manipulate raw emotion without a solid set of vocalists, and renowned singer-songwriters, including Lisa Gerrard, Audrey Gallagher, Clara Yates, and Hannah Brine, have been trusted with the task.

The world has become privy to the intensity of Permission To Exhale’s offerings since Ciaran McAuley had no desire to keep the secret to himself, thus early releasing a hefty chunk of the album as singles such as “Your Smile,” “Lilac,” “You’re Never Alone” with Suzie Ledge, and more. When it comes to the trance focal point, industry mainstays Roger Shah and Paul Denton swing by to invoke a feeling of home, breathing unyielding life into tracks “You and I” and “Stand Still.” And when investigating Ciaran’s personal touch, you can expect to hear his Irish roots pour out through the speakers while also embarking on an exhilarating ride up and down the dance music rainbow.

Throughout the years, my sound has evolved from warmer progressive trance to the uplifting, energetic stuff you hear on the album. I feel it’s a perfect reflection of how I’ve grown as a person, but more importantly, an artist. ‘Permission to Exhale’ is an expression of relief. This has been a difficult road at times but to finally complete the album, I believe the title is a true reflection my journey to this point. It’s also to show appreciation to my friends, family, and fans around the world who without their endless support, none of this would have been possible.
