The New Law: A Great Argument For Hybrid Electric

[wp_ad_camp_2] By Damen Smith-Draeko -- Almost a month ago, it was a rare, dry and warm Friday night here in Seattle. It was rare that it was both dry and warm, and it was rare that I’d ventured out into the world that night away from the drawing board. I found myself at the Lo-Fi Performance Gallery. Every third Friday of the month (or moonth if you want to go all Celtic and stuff) the music label Innerflight hosts a show at this venue. I decided to leave the house and partake of the dancing and debauchery. Actually there was much more of the former than the latter, and…well, I really don’t know how I feel about that. <whisper>I like debauchery.<./whisper> Going to the Lo-Fi Performance Gallery that night was actually a very good choice. Along with the pleasant

EDM NEWS, NEW RELEASES, REVIEWS, TRANCE

[wp_ad_camp_2] Kris O'Neil from Denmark has been rising the ranks consistently the past few years. Lately he has been surprising us with one quality release after another. They range from 'From Canada With Love' with Kiholm, 'No Porn Intended' with JPL and the recently released In Trance In Trust 019 for which he got the honors. [wp_ad_camp_1] Obviously these are all great achievements. We were delighted to hear the new remix Kris has done for Marco V's GOHF. For people who have been following EDM since its inception, GOHF borrows its name from the sample that was used. 'I Am The God Of Hellfire' is a quote we have heard in early releases of acts such as The Prodigy and Sequentical and was put to great use in this new release. Whereas the original mix by Marco V had strong electro influ

The Trance Grandmaster Speaks: Andy Moor Exclusive Interview

ALBUMS, EDM NEWS, INTERVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] You have been an influential DJ in the international scene for years now. Starting in 2000 and still going strong in 2012 with the release of your new album. What made you decide one day to want to make it in the electronic music scene and has it been a rather smooth ride or were there any hurdles you had to take on? I was into electronic music from the first moment I heard a synth. As time passed by, I was fascinated by trying understand how these sounds were made. I was learning many instruments whilst young but decided early on that my main passion was in electronic music way before I had chance to learn all about it. It has a combination of so many attributes all in one genre, energy, groove, emotion, production, tension, release, etc. How do you look back on your...

Jochen, you have been DJing for quite a while and enjoying success with massive productions like ‘Lost Connection’, ‘Humanoid’, the Energy2011 anthem ‘Classified’ and recently the Rank-1 and Sarah Bettens collab Wild and Perfect Day. If you had to pick one of your productions as your most favorite one. Which one would that be? And is there a thought behind it for it to be your favorite? Tough question, same as asking a parent which of his children he loves most;-)) But if I had to pick only one, I guess that would be Lost Connection, because that track really rocketeered my carreer.

Davi: Rising Star in the Night Scene

EDM NEWS, REVIEWS

[wp_ad_camp_2] By Damen Smith-Draeko -- Davi of Perspectives Digital is a lucid dreamer. Although his Progressive House tracks take us on a wandering journey through id, ego, and libido, there is a fundamental grounding and stability to his productions. Tracking down any video on any of his performances or studio sessions was almost not happening. I was only able to procure one. It is true what I’ve heard about him being “LA's best kept secret”. But oh! What a great secret! I was able to locate some of his tracks on Subtract Music: Lucid Dreaming Black Rock City I found these tracks danceable but oh so woefully short. It felt like just as the groove had committed my patting feet and nodding head to get into it, the thumping bass and wisps of chords were over and it was

A full-on artist album, distributed in over 20 countries: no less than 14 pure unadulterated trance tracks featuring familiar former Allure vocalists like Christian Burns, JES and Emma Hewitt.

Ché Armstrong Kills It With Assassin Release on Axon Recordings

EDM NEWS, NEW RELEASES, REVIEWS, TECH HOUSE

[wp_ad_camp_2] [wp_ad_camp_1] A new release from Axon from the hands of label manager/A&R, Ché Armstrong. Having previously released on labels such as Full Tilt and Neuroscience, his releases have seen the support of DJs including Dubfire, Paul Oakenfold and Chris Lake. Two tracks. 'Onda Fuerza' doesn't really move us. This release is all about the second track 'Assassin.' What can we say? Definitely a chunk of thumpin and bumpin tech house with some haunting chords and a rhythm section that has a bit more of a tough sound to it. For your convenience, we skipped the a-side Soundcloud link and let you listen to the good stuff that Assassin brings! Armstrong killed it on this one! ;-) Connect: http://www.axonrecordings.com [wp_ad_camp_5] [wp_ad_camp_4]

Youngster From France Hits Neuroscience Deep

EDM NEWS, NEW RELEASES, TRANCE

[wp_ad_camp_2] The young French producer Matt Fax returns to Neuroscience Deep with a new EP, just in time for the Summer festival season. At the age of 16, it's obvious that Matt has a great future ahead of him. He's been supported by DJs such as Above & Beyond, Jon O'Bir and Paul Oakenfold. Léa is a decent tune. It's a little heavy on side chaining use, but it does have a nice trancey and smooth feel to it. Sju has a bit less of the side chaining and nice fitting vocal excerpts. We definitely see why this kid is supported by jocks like Above & Beyond and Paul Oakenfold. Sju is our favorite of this package. 6/10 Connect: http://www.neurosciencerecordings.co.uk/label/508 [wp_ad_camp_5] [wp_ad_camp_4]
