If you like the driving sound, this will float your boat, and drive it too!

7/10

Neuroscience Recordings has been in the radar for quite some time, indeed I am pretty hooked on the Neuroscience Deep sublabel (Native – Choices in the Artificial Dreamer Remix, anyone? :D ). Estigma has made his way into the production scene just last year, with releases on Shah Music, and Istmo. Blue Rain appears to be his initiation on Neuroscience, and he is backed by Discover mainstay Manuel Le Saux, as well as Neuroscience sophmore Dallaz Project. This one promises to be driving, so hold on to your hat!

Macca – Dirty Dog [Invasive Recordings]

Posted by Andre on July 3 under Releases | Be the First to Comment | 4 views

wp18137c30Not even a week ago I discovered Invasive Recordings, and I simply couldn’t stay away from this release, because, well, the label rocks. And it doesn’t hurt to support local talent, right?

Macca is back with another tech house banger that includes some older influences (you’ll have to sample it to find out!) and manages to dig into the newly renewed electro movement. That’s right, electro movement, move along, there’s no such thing as a mnml movement. ;)

Read on past the break for a sweet high quality sample and some links, ;)

Do not overlook these lads!

8/10

1lI literally tripped on these while scouring the internet for new talent, and talent I have found! The boys behind the label have done an amazing job at recruiting new talent, and with their stellar roster, have been consistently landing their tracks on top jocks’ playlists.

The two tracks I decided to highlight are two remixes that The House Moguls have produced, both floating somewhere in the tech/prog house realm with some sexy vocal tracks. The tracks in question are Another Day by Sophia May and Just a Feeling by Carl Kennedy & Johnny Gleason.

Read on for my thoughts on these two remixes, and remixers, and some high quality samples!

Redstar – Awakening Remixes Pt 1 [Red Force Recordings]

'wake me up, before you go-go....'

Originally released last year on Enhanced Recordings, the “Awakening EP” proved to be a massive success. Not only had the EP gained support from the likes of Tiesto, Sean Tyas and Andy Moor, each track managed to land on a number of compilations including Sean Tyas’ Tytanium, Digitally Enhanced Vol 2 and Matt Hardwick & Kane Nelson’s Digital Society Vol 1.

The EP resurfaces on Red Force Recordings as a two-part release, the first of which features “Awakening” and its remixes, which include interpretations from Syna, Andy Piney and even a mashup of “Awakening” with the classic “Destination” by DT8 Project. To that I say:  smiley!

Feelin' lucky?

Well, recently Airbase released his follow-up to the ISOS’d Denial, vocalized by Floria Ambra…And well, it has received some interesting feedback from people ’round the web…But Interfere is not ready to go away just yet! Norwegian hot-shot Kimito Lopez has offered up a progressive take, and has submitted a remix that should be sure to please everyone…Because, he did include a dub for you vocal-shy jockies out there! Also, apparently he loves Ibiza. I suppose it was pertinent enough to point out in the form of a remix! :P

Onward and upward!

Temple One – String Theory [Enhanced]

Posted by Aaron on June 30 under Releases | Read the First Comment | 39 views

If you have a flair for the old-school, do check this one out.
- Aaron
8/10

31-5366_600As with Sergey Shemet, Temple One first crossed my path with Moonlight Madness…Of course I have heard of Temple One, but I haven’t really given him a shot, until now! This is String Theory, which should promise to be a quality bit of trance, and not strung out in the least! On remix duty is none other than Mark Sixma, under his M6 alias. He should inject a little drive, for sure! Read on.

Waterspark – Lego [Nu-Depth Recordings]

The pieces fit....bit by bit, block by block

8/10

17-4820_600

I stumbled upon this release while browsing Beatport this past week, and I must say, being the huge lego fan that I am, I simply couldn’t pass up the chance to give it a listen. Nu-depth Recordings is a rather young label, born in 2007 as the brainchild of Danny Powers who felt there was yet ‘room for another quality trance outlet’.  I’d say he’s held up his end of the bargain!

The lead off track provides a great alternative to the boring and often drawn out ‘intro’ versions found in the trance world.  Keeping the listener interested and using a melody intro to usher in the track is a work of genius.  Along with Daniel’s original mix are mixes from Perceptive Recordings’ Andy Blueman, Discover Dark’s Gary Maguire and another up and coming UK producer, Dave Horne.

Read on past the break for samples, my full review and for your chance to vote for your favorite version!

Andy Moor & Ashley Wallbridge Feat. Meighan Nealon – Faces [AVA Recordings]

This isn't your grandma's pot-pourri!

8.5/10

R-1829827-1246240433Released exclusively on Audiojelly.com today, I’ve been anxiously awaiting this release for many, many weeks. For those of you tied to other download shops, you’ll have to wait till July 6th…..and if that isn’t enough, we’ve got some tasty samples after the break.  To, you know, hold you over.

This is the 15th release on Andy Moor’s AVA Recordings label, and with a storied panel of artists, this latest proves that the man behind the name has still got it going on!  The original is funky and quirky at times, but paired up with Meighan’s vocals, it all fits well and provides a homegeneous (I’ve wanted to use that word in a non-science context since grade 9 science) sound that’s rather pleasing.  Along with the original are two remixes, one from Tenishia (hot off a collab with Markus Schulz) and Ben Gold.

As promised, details, samples and polls are after the break!

My, my, does this one rumble!

9.5/10

Ahh, Union Jack. This project is the compilation of the mac daddy of Platipus (Simon Berry), and Claudio Giussani (Better known as Terra Ferma). This project has come rumbling out of the past and melting into now, with the addition of Paul Brogden (aka Pob), and now here we are! Knowing Platipus, you should expect some quality acid trance…And knowing Union Jack, you should expect a bit of tribal acid goodness. I presume this shall be the case!

I hope this offends everyone...

Hailing from Toronto, Joe’s been at the forefront of the Toronto (let’s not forget London too!) House Music revival for years now, and his countless BlowMedia releases are a testament to just that! In 2007 he decided it was time to start crafting his sound on his own label, and Invasive Recordings was born.

This latest release pumps out a relentless techno groove that would cause mass hysteria in a darkened Toronto club at 4am on a monday morning….can anyone say Comfort Zone? :D

Read on past the break for a quick rundown of this hypnotic and driving techno track, a high quality sample and some key links to get you started with Macca’s sound!
