    Activa - No Way Between [VII]

    Not sure if it's Activa, but it's a Borderline release no doubt!

    Activa - No Way Between [VII]

    Melody is an hommage to Numb the Pain if you ask me!

    The Digital Blonde - Earthlights EP [PsyWorld Records]

    Euphoric and hypnotic record from Blondie! I actually like the vocal version a lot and don't see the need for a dub mix, curious to see if he only strips out the vocals or does some other changes.

    DuMonde - Light Beyond The Shadows [High Contrast Recordings]

    I would say the kick is quite close to DuMonde, and the mix between dark kick and euphoric synth is a trademark of DuMonde, but if I would not have seen the title I would have never guessed this is one of their new tracks. Pretty poor execution, especially since they were never known for cheesy...

    Lostly - Golden Teacher [FSOE]

    This is pretty much a record fit for Nightvision! man do I miss that label

    Albion x The Thrillseekers - Air [Armada Music]

    I would say it's made to blend in a modern set more than anything as musically it doesn't change much other than those underwater sounding elements. Still, nice that Ferry's keen on keeping the trend going with these old school releases.

    Bjorn Akesson - Life Force [BA Origins]

    Oo, the breakdown is really amazing, missed those synths!!

    Paul Oakenfold & Hernan Cattaneo - London To Buenos Aires [Perfecto]

    The way they rework the Tubular Bells melody makes it sound closer to a Blade Runner melody, which is not a bad thing. The original doesn't work that well in a trance/prog track given how analog and raw it is.

    Airwave - Autumn Leaves of Shibuya [Airwave Music]

    Love the breaks track, and I guess the updated Rained all Weekend is better than what I was expecting given the direction Laurent took for the past 6-10 years.

    Gary Maguire - Passing By [Pure Trance NEON]

    Gary was never one for intricate leads, his strongest point was always the base-work. I'd say the baseline is quite cool, gives you a nice catchy groove.

    Lustral - Manifesto EP (incl. Fine) [Armada Chill]

    Nice chill-breaks, that stutter lead sounds straight out of the mid 90s

    Push & Wehbba - Sonic Infusion EP [Arcane Music]

    I agree that Hologram is the better of the two tracks, and I can see it work rather well as a track mid-way through the night to kick it up a gear. However, I hear zero Push in this EP, and my ears are rather well tuned to Push soundscapes. My issues with Mike and his abuse of known alias names...

    Re:Locate & Simon Anthony - Skylight [Pure Trance]

    The main melody is akin to the Re:Locate vs. Robert Nickson records. Would be cool to see those two team up again for a track or two!

    Pirate - Leaving The Sun (Lostly Remix) [Borderline Music]

    Lostly usually keeps his productions very clean, looking forward to hear a cleaner and longer sample.

    Solid Globe - North Pole (BLR Remix) [Raz Nitzan]

    Sounds much more energetic and groovy than 131bpm, always the sign of a good track imo.
