NEURODISC RECORDS
did it again! This very aggressive US-label based in Ft.Lauderdale,
FL keeps pouring exploding stuff over and over again! This time it is
a brand new release that just hit the US streets: "TRANCE:
The Progressive Experience". What we have here it the
compilation that features mix done by one of America's top DJ/producers:
DJ VICIOUS VIC. He is one of the DJs that have been engaging
into making the music for almost two decades. TRANCE
and it's EPIC side sound, is the main ingredient
of the presented album. VIC did an excellent job of selecting
plethora of the big room titles and unique mixes. such combination created
this release as must to have for any of you serious about the TRANCE.
You might recognize several titles because they have been around for
a while, but that are quite new to American crowd. Crowd that eagerly
is trying to catch up with what Europe has been encountering for a quite
long time. Right from the first beat this CD explodes with marvellous
electronic music. It starts with "The Simarrillia"
by CARLOS. This tune is already a classic of transcendental
TRANCE, but the mix featured in here (Bradski
& Jenski) might be unknown to many of you! No kidding! Try it. The
beauty of the sound is stunning and exceptionally infectious! It's not
the end though! No short of great tunes in this offering in general!
Two tunes from HEADSTRONG "Escalator"
and "Noise 4 Us" deliver soaring
and pulsating club marvels! The music line in the first tune is simply
dazzling that flourish with rays of cosmic synths! If you are looking
into even more big room experience and classic TRANCE
fares, you gotta check "No More Tears"
by ALLURE. Featured Abnea Mix became truly a milestone in creating
the sound of TRANCE! Among exciting offerings
is also "W.E.T." by DJ ERWIN
feat. SHAME. Highly charged with sexual innuendos, this tune delivers
sparkling TRANCE with viciously sleeze
female screaming! Dramatic in sound with powerful bottom! Taken together
we are getting a solid TRANCE experience
that even most demanding souls will be satisfied with! Once again I
have to congratulate NEURODISC RECORDS for bringing such fine
release to American audience! For now, please check the sound sampler
featuring 6 tunes taken from this release. The original mixing
was not retained! I concentrated on tunes! Enjoy the music and buy this
release!For more information about this US-based label, visit their home page at http://www.neurodisc.com |

Techno Marathon Vol. 5 - The Ultimate Megamix
reviewed on 04/21/2002 Label: 2002 Dance Network / More Music / ZYX (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: DNT10095-2 |
|
| Review: | |
Here it is! Next volume
of "TECHNO MARATHON" mixed
by legendary SWG TEAM consisting of DJ DEEP and DJ
STUDIO 33. Both guys after encountering legal issues with their
DEEP DANCE and STUDIO
33 bootlegs, went legitimate. After listening this release
(volume 5) I concluded that in spite of the fact that there are many
mixes on the "underground market" DJ DEEP and DJ
STUDIO 33 remains the top digital DJs, no matter what! Presented
2 mixes on 2 CDs contain together 88 tunes mostly from TECHNO/TRANCE
genres. These mixes are simply of most superior quality you can imagine!
Of course the selection of tunes are a little bit limited, because every
single fare has to be licensed. Producing bootlegs was much simpler
tasks, because they were able to put whatever they felt was good. Here,
the content was not only based on what they liked, but which license
they could get. No matter what, the outcome is gorgeous. While there
are many main stream tunes included, you will also find some hard-to-get
more club oriented fares. I am sure each and everyone of you who likes
mixes and missed true quality of both DJ DEEP and DJ STUDIO
33 will cherish the quality of this release. It's simply a matter
of being part of the cult of mixing these guys created when starting
producing the mixes. The legend that will never die. Both guys became
part of the music history in mixing making. In sound sampler I took
fragment featuring 10 songs from the second CD. No cuts were
made, so the mixing is fully retained. I wasn't really looking for any
particular fragment of the mix, but I simply wanted to give you a taste.
Getting the real product will produce the effect, you will not hear
just based on this sampler! Get it, when it lasts. If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

DJ Networx vol. 12
reviewed on 04/13/02 Label: 2001 Sony Music Media (Germany) Style: Trance/Techno Index #: 506057 2 |
|
| Review: | |
I am late with reviewing
DJ DEAN's "DJ Networx - Volume
12" but I have received this release just today. There
is actually already volume 13 out that I will review in couple
of days. I owe the review to many of you who follow this series featuring
some pretty hot TECHNO/TRANCE tunes ruling
underground scene. Since it's late review you are probably familiar
with several tunes featured in this double set mixed by DJ DEAN.
Among them is "Club Bizarre"
by BROOKLYN BOUNCE. The interesting thing about the tune is the
featured mix by DJ SCOT PROJECT. You will find this mix quite excititing
with uplifting synths putting this PROGRESSIVE
tune more into TRANCE side. Wonderful indeed!
An example of another remixed tune is "Welcome
To The Club" by KLUBBINGMAN done by PEDRO DEL MAR.
His mix combines TECHNO sound with some
NRG beat mixed with TRANCE
synths. Truly a sparkling production! First CD is full of good HARD
TECHNO tunes. For instance "Successful
Enter" by HEADQUARTER in AXEL KONRAD (DJ VALIUM)
gives the PROGRESSIVE sound new meaning!
Enpowered with beautiful synth work and seductive computerized female
vocal this flips into club monster. For more dynamic sound you should
check "Jetlag" by DJ KIM.
It doesn't get any hotter than this marvel. Mesmerizing synth lines
pusling with fury throughout! The second CD is almost exclusively targeted
to underground sound with heavy INDUSTRIAL
and ACID TECHNO sound. If you don't have
this volumw yet, you should really check it out. It's still available!
To help you out, I prepared sound sampler featuring 8 tunes taken from
both CDs. Enjoy the sound ! |

DJ FERRY CORSTEN - Globaltrancemissions_02 reviewed
on 03/29/02 Label: 2002 Moonshine Creative Media (US) Style: Trance Index #: MM 80169-2 |
|
| Review: | |
Serious fans of FERRY
CORSTEN, an unquestionable talented and widely recognized as one
of the world's top TRANCE DJs and producers will get exctatic over this
new set released domestically especially for US market. FERRY CORSTEN,
who produces under disguice using such aliases as SYSTEM F, GOURYELLA
(along with DJ TIESTO) or MOONMAN remains on high demand
by many artists to do remixes of their work As a DJ he headlines places
he appears IN LIVE, virtually in every continent! I am extremely pleased
to present you this second edition of GLOBALTRANCEMISSIONS
(the first volume, that I never reviewed was actually released last
year). FERRY delivers a set inspired by very specific club atmosphere
of IBIZA clubs. Be prepared for truly seamless, melodic epic mix that
all of you TRANCE music fans will find
essential for their collection. FERRY carefully has chosen 12
vibrating TRANCE fares for this set. It
starts with "Sugar 1" by YAHEL.
This phenomenal producer from Israel, has proven to be one of the most
interesting personalities in TRANCE scene
these days. His music has special touch stamped by his individuality.
Presented tune is a pure journey into rich, pounding synth lines and
electronic wizardry. Fascinating fare to blow your mind. Next is "Eternity"
by ALIBI in Thrillseekers Remix. Also a TRANCE
tune surrounded by dynamic synth lines and compelling bits of hot female
vocals. Speaking of female vocals. You should check OCEANLAB feat.
JUSTINE SUISSA in "Clear Blue Water"
featuring an original FERRY's very own remix. Stunning VOCAL
TRANCE tune with Justine's intoxicating vocals. This one will
bring you to higher degree of unspeakable listening experience. FERRY
brings also his own remixes of other tunes such as "My
Dance" by RANSOM and "In
The Beginning Again" by ROGER GOODE. His own "Lost
In Motion" tune under SYSTEM F. is featured as well.
The set is simply incredible. This vinyl-based mix is also an incredible
work of art (keep in mind that you will hear some scratches here and
there). I prepared a sound sampler with 6 tunes taken from the
mix! The original mix was not retained! The sampler serves only as a
brief encounter with what you have. The CD is a must! Get it now! The
music experience this CD delivers is simply priceless! For more information about MOONSHINE CREATIVE MEDIA, visit their home page at http://www.moonshine.com |

Virus Techno Compilation
reviewed on 03/29/02 Label: 2002 Dieffe S.r.l. (Italy) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: PF 01 CD |
|
| Review: | |
This rather commercial
compilation comes from Italy. I have received it from DIEFFE s.r.l.
I am not sure if you are following Italian DANCE
scene, but it is being dominated by ACID TECHNO
and PROGRESSIVE sound. This compilation
is the best example of this trend. you will find on this CD 40 tunes
(20 on each CD) in continuous mix done by DJ SHORTY. First CD
is more comercial TECHNO/TRANCE oriented
and features mostly non-Italian tunes but not only though. You will
find here several fares that you should be already familiar with like
"Welcome to The Club" by KLUBBINGMAN,
"Baya, Baya" by SAFRI DUO,
"Life Is Too Short" by KAI
TRACID and many others. Fans of classic DREAM
sound have revamped ROBERT MILES's "Children"
done in PROGRESSIVE style by 4 CLUBBERS.
As a matter of fact it is so close to "Club
Bizarre", recent tune by BROKKLYN BOUNCE, I thought
it was a mistake. Well... check it out, how "Children"
sounds in this PROGRESSIVE flavor. Highlight
of the mix is brand new tune from DATURA "Will
Be One". I was very interested to check it out. I really
love this group and we didn't have anything new from them for ages.
They didn't dissapoint! This tune has some familiarity to the style
I know them from severla years ago, once again utilizing Spanish language.
Very dynamic tune with some straight-line beats and lush strings. Very
interesting indeed. Another good example of TRANCE
is "Music Planet" by QU-ZAR.
This combines flying high synths with rough female vocals. An interesting
combination. "Gates Of Mind"
by STERBINSZKY & TRANZIDENT has strong similarities to "Castles
In The Sky" by IAN VAN DAHL. "To
The Beat" by STARLIGHT reminds very much so EIFFEL
65. The second CD is almost exclusively devoted to Italian-born
ACID HOUSE/TECHNO sound. You will find
there new track from CLAUDIO LANCINI - "Pirata"
(co-written by M. MORELLA), sexually charged "Lick
It" by DIVA NOVA, "Virtual
Love" by VIRTUAL DEEJAY (track co-written by one
and only SALVATORE CUSATO), "Only
Kick" by BRAIN OVULATION influenced by AGE OF
LOVE and several others. Most of the groups are not known to me,
so you have to check the CD. It is very good club sound especially for
BASS'N'BEAT oriented clubs. In sound sampler
I am presenting you 10 tunes taken from both CDs. Enjoy the music and
let's the beat roll! |

TRANCE_FIXED V 2.0reviewed
on 03/23/02 Label: 2002 Neurodisc Records (US) Style: Trance Index #: 0499 2 50261 2 2 |
|
| Review: | |
I used to review mostly
European releases, however it's time to look for more of domestic one.
First of all the TRANCE and TECHNO
sound is now blooming across US. While in most cases played music originates
from Europe, some US producers and DJs are starting playing with these
genres. Several US-based labels are also starting recognizing the power of
the sound. Among them is Ft. Lauderdale,
FL based - NEURODISC RECORDS. I have been in Florida on several occasions and I have to admit
that many clubs there were indeed flooded with this electronic sound. No wonder
why this label leads in this trend. Today, I am presenting you two releases
from NEURODISC RECORDS. The first one is "TRANCE_FIXED V 2.0"
released in February 2002. It features continuous mix done by DJ SESSION ONE
himself. DJ SESSION ONE from Blutonium Records made his mark
after highly praised smash club hit "No
Gravity". This tune got it's share of popularity also here
in the States moving crowds nationwide. For the first time you will
have a chance to listen to DJ SESSION ONE's very own, proliphic DJ set featuring
12 truly dazzling TRANCE tunes. His
choices of tracks are simply outstanding. Be prepared for aggressive
sound, wonderful hooks and dance experience you will encounter for more
than 60 minutes. With such epic TRANCE
tunes as "Next" by NEXUS,
"C'est Syntone" by SYNTONE,
"Get Your Thing Together" by
CAMILIA, "Under Water"
by THORSTEN F. you are into unforgettable treat. I have to admit,
when I was listening to the set, I was truly in disbelief that you can
just go and buy it here in the US. I have to congratulate NEURODISC RECORDS for such fine and priceless release. All TRANCE fans would cherish
this compilation! I guarantee it. I will be looking forward into more
cutting-edge sound coming from this relatively young label that already
assured their presence in US dance scene! Please check the sound sampler
with 8 tunes taken from the mix! I know it will not need further intro
after you listen to it. You will be literally running to get it! The music experience
in this CD is simply not to be missed by anyone serious about TRANCE.

GARFIELD SIGNATURES 01 reviewed
on 03/23/02 Label: 2001 Neurodisc Records (US) Style: Trance/House Index #: 0499 2 50241 2 8 |
|
| Review: | |
Yet another brilliant release
from Neurodisc. This one is from September 2001. I decided to present
you this offering because the featured music is timeless and compilation
is still available. Don't miss your chance to own such a quality TRANCE/HOUSE
fares. This is also mixed CD. 12 upfront tunes are mixed by DJ GARFIELD,
currently resident DJ at Stereo Nightclub in Ft. Lauderdale. DJ GARFIELD
comes from England with long track of DJing worldwide. His geeks include
playing in such mega clubs as ESSENCE (voted one of the five super clubs
along with Gatecrasher, Cream and Ministry of Sound), SPACE, AMNESIA
and PACHA in Ibiza. After moving to US, he acquired residency at famous
Miami's LIQUID Nightclub following by CROBAR at Miami, UTOPIA in Las
Vegas and countless clubs across the US. Here we have a debut cutting-edge
mix by DJ GARFIELD. CD features 12 tunes and you probably should
be familiar with some titles. It starts with TRANCE
anthem "Free" by TILLMAN UHRMACHER
feat. PETER RIES. What makes this track so special is Marc'N'Ace
Mix, hardly featured on other compilations. The music flow is dramatic,
interwoven with pounding, powerful synths and riveting melody. "Cocaine"
by YAKOOZA should be familiar to all of you who are into TECHNO-HOUSE.
This tune was pretty big back in 2001. You should appreciate firework
of synths and pretty much heavy BREAK BEAT
elements in this one. Set is truly outstanding featuring one of my favourite
TRANCE tune"Light
A Rainbow" by TUKAN. Not only though. There are several
driving tunes I did not have a chance to present you before. For instance
"Mental Atmosphere" by ANDORA
or "Inside Your Gates" by GREEN
COURT. Both are incredible journey to the world of uplifting synths.
This GREEN COURT's track is very pro-bible. Dramatic narrative about
Jews being expelled from Egypt follows with dazzling array of electronic
beat and instrumentation. Pure-synth driven contemporary TRANCE
blaster with DREAM edge. Amazingly powerful!
Another tune I never presented is "Paranoid"
by HYPETRAXX. As you might expect DARK
PROGRESSIVE sound dominates in here. Masterfully crafted and
high octane fare to die for. So taken together, you are being exposed
to pure UNDERGROUND sound. All tracks are
in their extended versions so it's another plus. The turntable mix is
excellent and warrants a good listening experience. In sound
sampler I featured 7 tracks from this compilation. Check them out! Please
support the label and the music by purchasing this CD. At $13.00 it
is a true bargain!For more information about this US-based label, visit their home page at http://www.neurodisc.com For more information about DJ GARFIELD visit his page at http://www.djgarfield.com |

Dream Dance vol. 23
reviewed on 03/17/02 Label: 2002 Sony Music Media / Dance Division (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 506255 2 |
|
| Review: | |
Next volume from DREAM
DANCE series was recently released (end of February). This
particular series remains a solid sale for SONY MUSIC. Proven to be
one of the most solid sets in TRANCE/TECHNO
oriented genres on the market gives the listener an opportunity to collect
quite popular, rather mainstream tunes. Serious clubbers will probably
try to turn to get more sophisticated sound, but for average Joe Doe
this is a perfect compilation. As usually the set features 40 tunes
divided equally to both CDs. No real surprises as goes for the title
selection. First CD features such hits as "Heaven"
by DJ SAMMY & YANOU feat. DO, DJ TIËSTO very
own "Urban Train" (listed on
other compilations as "Suburban Train"),
"Infected" by BARTHEZZ
or SAFRI's DUO - "Baya Baya".
N-TRANCE is back with 2002 version of their mega hit "Set
You Free" originally back from 1995. This "facelift"
includes more EURO-TRANCE oriented feeling.
Speaking of "remakes", ADRIMA did "Can't
Stop That Feeling" , DUNE's RAVE
anthem back from 1996. An interesting remake indeed. Some quite new
tunes are here as well. For instance after relatively long period of
silence NIELS VAN GOGH is presenting you his new and original
tune "Another Joy". Combination
of TECHNO with some TRANCE
strings and BREAK BEAT elements. PLASTIC
AGE presents "Trancespotting".
This tune is causing some serious buzz in TRANCE/RAVE
scenes these days. You have probably noticed that the classic music
became a serious source of sound for some TRANCE-oriented
projects. This time SYMPHONIC took MAURICE RAVEL's "Bolero"
and processed it through heavy synths and bass beats. The outcome? Hmm...
Let ask MAURICE. Oh... we can't... He is quite dead! :-) Second
CD is also interesting, but seems to me it is more club-oriented (if
you actually can with shortened tunes). It starts with rather TECHNO-HOUSE
fare "Tarantula" by FAITHLESS.
2000 remake of all-time ROBERT MILES classic "Children"
by GROOVE(A)HOLICS is featured here as well. The main theme has
been spared however some additions and "update" brings this
one to more TRANCE-friendly scene. I still
like the original better though. For serious TRANCE
freaks "Move Your Body" by BACKSLASH
is real threat! If you like some more PROGRESSIVE
touch check DJ WAG's own "Life On
Mars". The second CD closes with quasi NEW
AGE interpretation of PHIL COLIN's "Another
Day In Paradise" by DNS III. In sound sampler I am
presenting you "only" 10 tunes and I have to say, I wanted
to do more, but than I think you simply have to get this setting to
appreciate it's richness! So for now check the sampler and get the compilation!
A good buy as always! Very good set, trust me! If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

| Review: | |
Many truly devoted fans
of quality TRANCE sound were eagerly waititng
for next volume from truly fantasite TRANCEMASTER
series. The waiting is over and volume 32 is out! By now you should
recognize that this series is real gem among compilations featuring
TRANCE sound. Presented volume continues
the saga. As usually the set od 22 tunes on this double CD offering
is mastered by SLOBODAN PETROVIC (PULSEDRIVER) himself!
Be prepared for stunning selection of music and great club sound experience.
More than 150 minutes of unforgettable TRANCE
marvels with big, soaring synths in most of the featured tunes. The
first CD starts with "On My Own"
by CONDOR. This tune was previously featured in FUTURE
TRANCE 18, but here we have much more powerful Les Voix Mix,
with exceptional buttom and synth strings combining power and transcendental
feeling. Next is sizziling "Don't Want Your
Love" by SYMPHONY OF STRINGS in Donald & Giles
Mix. Big room TRANCE to make dance floor
going crazy. Pulsaiting vibes with driving to extasy bottom line and
seductive female vocals. Simply mesmerizing. While you are probably
familiar with "Life Is Too Short"
by KAI TRACID, since this tune was widely played last year in
many dance floors, you cannot afford missing Energy Mix presented here.
What makes this mix so special is added impressive energy to this relatively
dark tune. It makes this offering even hotter than the original version.
There are many more outstanding tunes representing different shades
of TRANCE. Another example of outstanding
fare from this genre is of course "Freedom"
by WAVETRAXX in it's Original Trance Mix. One will appreciate
gorgeous synth work and beautifully crafted piano section on this one.
For more dark TECHNO/TRANCE oriented sound
check "Alone With Me" by DJ
AIR. Among orher marvels on the first CD are such tunes as "Reunion"
by K-LAB with very sexy female vocals or "Wide
Anthem" by M & M feat. M. The second CD is at
least equally interesting as the first one. It starts with "Proagressive"
by NIGHTLIFE in Donald & Giles Remix. If you like AIRWAVE
you will love this one as well. Ground-breaking TRANCE
with dazzling rays of synth instruments gloriously rising from the low
to high. An unforgattable experience. I also would like to draw your
attention to Mario's Lopez Remix of "Now
Is The Future" by DJ ORBIT. I consider MARIO LOPEZ
as one of the most interesting TRANCE DJ's
Germany has right now. He did a marvellous job turning this already
great tune to a truly big room TRANCE monster.
Lush strings and female vocals flourishes over wonderful synths. Spectacular
remix! Entire CD delivers the sound you have been waiting for. I am
not going to tell you that you need this set for your collection, you
know you will want to. Check the audio sampler!. I included 10 tunes
from both CDs in the mix for your listening pleasure. For more music
you gotta get the real thing. Your money will be wisely spent as usually
for the releases from this series! Guaranteed! |
