<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 […]
<House> Tel Aviv based producer Guy Mantzur prides himself in defying simple genre classification in his productions. Having collaborated recently on productions and remixes with the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Dave Seamen, Argy, Guy J, Roy Rosenfeld, Shlomi Aber, Lutzenkirchen, and many more, it’s fair to say the man can whip together an accomplished beat. […]
<Dub/Electronica> Anything that has the Orb on it should, and would, raise an eyebrow or two of interest. Lee Scratch Perry is no slouch either behind the control booth and together you would hope for something special. The problem really is twofold when these types of collaborations come around and I’ve witnessed a few over […]
<EDM> Admit it, you’ve probably heard of Linkin Park – the nu-metal rap outfit that loves getting its fingers dirty with electronic music. Enter their newest incarnation, Recharged – a 13 track offering containing one new song (and 5FM playlist favourite) A Light That Never Comes with stalwart Steve Aoki, and a collection of expertly […]
<Afro House> Despite initially losing the whole album when his laptop broke, Zakes Bantwini has still managed to put together an album that is a spectacular improvement from his first offering and quite easily one of the most musically forward South African albums in recent times. The album opens with the soulful Darling, a beautiful […]
<House> The man who gave us the legendary Musica Feliz is back! Rocco has returned with a brand new offering titled The Bridge and true to its title it bridges the gap between the continents of house music. Opening with the easy going Falling For You featuring Ziyon from Liquideep, one is immediately aware of […]
<House> For anyone who was waiting for the new DJ Qness album they’ll attest to the fact that it was a lengthy wait. However after numerous setbacks and new release dates, the album is finally here! The question though then becomes was it well worth the wait and the answer is a definitive yes! The […]
