Koan - When The Silence Is... (2013)

Release Info
Genre :: Chill Out
Record Label :: Blue Tunes Records
Catalog Number :: BTRCD044

Review

This is one album I have enjoyed that is a perfect example of the progressive trance genre. As oppose to trance where you have much high pitch blaring sounds, progressive trance has much more subtle sounds with long builds. The sounds that come from this album will definitely blow your mind. All of the tracks on this album is sure to put you in a nice chill mood. This album is best listened in your own home where you can truly enjoy all the sounds it has to offer. I highly recommend you give this album a listen as you will not want to turn it off.​

Steve Brian - Avocado (2013)

Release Info
Genre :: Trance
Record Label :: Euphonic
Catalog Number :: EUPH173

Review

Yes, this is only a single but it is a fluid trance track that begs to be put on repeat. Euphonic has had some popular releases recently with Kyau & Albert & Stoneface & Terminal - We Own The Night and Kyau and Albert - All Your Colours. This track is a solid addition to the label, hitting the soft spots of trance that make me feel comfortable instead of evoking thoughts of a club. The vocals are light and complement the song right where it needs it. The piano melodies do a perfect job keeping the song simple. Coming in just short of 7:00, it contains all of the classic trance movements. Though it's not a revolutionary or groundbreaking release, it shines while relaxing on a warm summer evening. Steve Brian is a relatively new artist for me, and Avocado already has me subscribed to his future releases.​

Diabolik
Andrew Bower - If It Were You, We'd Never Leave (2013)

Release Info
Genre :: Electronica
Record Label :: Anjunabeats
Catalog Number :: ANJCD034D

Review

Ambient and drone are two genres that have really missed the boat on the wider EDM explosion, but this is not to say that there are not great quality releases available. One of the absolute masters of his craft is Andrew Bayer who creates absolutely mammoth deep house bombs, and earlier this year we were lucky enough to be treated to a full artist album by him. An absolute peach, this album is sensational.​

Rick Wade - With Me (2013)

Release Info
Genre :: House Deep
Record Label :: Little Angel Records
Catalog Number :: LAR036

Review

Rick Wade is a true pioneer of Deep House Music ever since his first releases on the Harmonie Park record label. The Chicago inspired grooves that he produces come from the heart and soul of his Chicago roots. This is real Deep House music and none of your hipster deep "slowed down" tech House.

With this album, Rick Wade literally slowly fucks your ears long and hard in every position. Its a masterpiece of a production by Flavio 'Harley&Muscle' Romaniello - its like a match made in heaven that has had me wanting for more ever since playing it for the first time.

The tracks ebb and flow like they telling a story. Mixtures of classic Deep House combined with funk, soul, jazz and disco will have you melting.
Put on a decent set of cans and let Rick do his stuff ​

LHF - Keepers of the Light (2012)

Release Info
Genre :: Electronica
Record Label :: Keysound Recordings
Catalog Number :: 424218

Review

An immersive trip through various styles and moods of dubstep, this collective of producers' 2.5 hours worth of material marks a a worthy achievement in creativity and proficiency. While many age-old dubstep techniques are employed, they serve more as a homage to past greats than a cheap cop-out to original composition, used in unexpected ways and surrounded by alternately cheerful and sinister samples and synths. The focus on rhythm is obvious, with percussion and bass lines slithering in and out of each other and through dense atmospheres. Highly recommended \0/​

Marco Bailey - Congonhas (2010)

Release Info
Genre :: Techno
Record Label :: Tronic
Catalog Number :: TR55

Review

There aren't many things better then sex but "Upgrade" at 1:08 is right up there! TURN IT UP! ​

Gramatik - Street Bangerz Volume 2 (2009)

Release Info
Genre :: Instrumental, Funk
Record Label :: Cold Busted
Catalog Number :: BUSTED18

Review

Gramatik is consistently one of the best beat makers out there. "Street Bangerz Vol. 2" is known to be the holy grail of his work, featuring fabulous samples, great jams, and an amazing representation of urban city culture.

Gramatik took a live city and put it into one crazy collection - and like the title states, these works are the sounds of the streets. From New York to Berlin, Tokyo to Los Angeles, Gramatik takes you on a thumping ride across the face of cement, brick, and mortar. Any hip-hop, soul, funk, or urban aficionados can't miss this high point release of a high point artist.​

Record Label :: Astralwerks

Review

Introduced to Empire of the Sun by a friend a year or so ago. The combination of the duo's unique attire and voices made them an instant it for myself.​
