<EDM> It’s been two years since P&P as they are affectionately known, released Passport, their debut full length album. Sure they also had Passport 2.0, a remix album but One Night Only is their official follow up full length offering. What I really liked about Passport was their ability to combine some deep techy dance […]
<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 Psytrance> These days, artists who ignore trends are becoming increasingly rare. Over the past decade, Liquid Soul has built a reputation for uncompromisingly and consistently delivering a product of the utmost quality, setting him apart from an extremely competitive market. As one of the originators of the uplifting progressive style of trance, it seems […]
<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.

<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 […]
<Urban House> Nastee Nev has steadily climbed the rungs of the urban house ladder towards being a respectable force in the industry. His latest offering, 0808 Sweetsoul, serves as his official declaration that he’s here to stay. For anyone familiar with the Nastee Nev sound you’ll know it’s all about soul and that’s just what […]
<IDM/Glitch/Jungle> Hot on the heels of 2001’s massively successful and well received Rooms comes Machinedrum’s new offering – Vapor City. Rooms was an album well received and lauded by critics all over including the likes of Pitchfork who as we know, make it their job to be as anal as possible, who gave it a […]
<House> The third instalment in the House Blendz series by Malankane is finally here. Malankane is known for being unashamedly soulful when it comes to his compilations and House Blendz is no different. Offering a tastefully crafted blend of soulful and deep local productions, the compilation certainly upholds the ethos of the first two House […]
