<Psytrance> Bridging The Gap is Expo Records’ debut release compiled by Dynamic Range and mastered by Shift. This uncomplicated psychedelic album is made up of pure fun and perfectly meshed full on tunes. The opening track, I’m Not The Same Machine by Earthspace has cool uplifting melodies. There is a serious base line going on […]
<Psytrance> Music Should Be Felt Not Heard is Chabunk’s (aka Gareth Webb) first full length album and has an interesting mix of progressive and psychedelic sounds. Gareth is from Cape Town and an excellent psytrance DJ that has been playing at many local festivals. The opening track Conjugate is a perfect start to a set […]
<Progressive Psytrance> Akashic Library is a remix album from Captain Hook (Reshef Harari) and the 17 tracks have a variety of sounds ranging from Psytrance to Dubstep. Marshmallows (Coming Soon RMX) by CH & Freedom Fighters is a good example of a track that mixes some styles together. My brain was scrambled with weird vox, […]
<Progressive Trance/ Tech> Destinations 3 is another wonderful progressive psytrance album for the collection, compiled by Cubixx (Mattias Sperlich) and Mindwave (Anton Maiko). Moment of Peace by Day Dream is a exquisite journey with a silky smooth melody. The tantalising female vox suits this sexy tune by Motion Drive and Echo will kill on the […]
<Progressive Trance> After the first few tracks of this album the clubby vibe of Think (compiled by Hanzo) quickly dissolves into solid progressive tunes. Dreams by Dualism, Meelo and Clufe has an angelic quality that keeps uplifting the spirit and the relaxed nature of Take Me Away by Ranji had me dreaming of lying on […]
<Progressive Trance> It is time for some serious progressive trance tunes and Timelock has the bag filled with the fun treats. Wildfire is a beautiful collaboration with Invisible Reality and the beat is deep and rumbling. TFX with Side Effects is a stunning tune of epic proportions that wants to escape into the wild. Timelock […]
<Progressive Psytrance> Coincidences is the 5th album by one of the progressive masters, Etic’s (Etay Harari) and it is packed with chilled trance tunes for a lazy afternoon. Come In Peace slowly oozes from the speakers and envelops the senses with its warm sounds and appears to contain vox by Barack Obama. Audio Fever has […]
<Progressive Trance/Tech> After 14 years in the music business Ticon have released a double album of 25 tracks remixed by various artists. The OTB & Naughty Notes remix of the funky and bouncy Rip it Up starts off with a bang. The live remix of We are the Mammoth Hunters by Ticon himself is magnificent […]
<Psytrance> Landing on the Moon is the Israeli producer, Shayman’s first full length album and it is a belter. Floating Beats is crammed full of squelchy psychedelic sounds and the title track which follows is a wonderful fast paced electronic bundle of weirdness. The galloping bassline and crunchy synth of Frequency is going to set […]
<Progressive Trance> Aerodynamics is a progressive album compiled by Aerospace aka Guy Youngman. The very deep throbbing bass is the first thing that hit me with the beautiful opening track, Cygnus by Arhetip. Alion’s The Gathering has sweet 80’s sounding synth sounds and distorted vocoder, done right not cheesy. There are so many layers to […]
