We're always happy to discover new talents in the underground scene and Tristan Dior is definitely one of the rising stars of Canada! Circuit Breaker is a phenomenal record, a combo of multiple genres and passion to the proper Progressive and Trance sounds. In this track you can also hear the influence from Techno and Psy-Trance, making it a unique, standing-out tune. Exactly what we're looking for music-wise. Splendid.

Really proud of this one, Tristan is on fire lately with his music, no matter if it's deeper hypnotic progressive or tracks like this where genres collide and create something unique.

I must be the ugly black sheep because i dont hear the overall quality of this tune.

I have mentioned this before but I think this is absolutely a lazy/uncreative thing when you slowly just fade in the bassline without any type of intro or tension, with the kick right from the start and you have the same beats running,adding just small elements very predictibly one at a time on top of the beat, same beats running, you have a break, a bit of texture/atmospheric, a two note dark pluck melody added, same beats dropping again, a dark atmopsheric pad melody comes in, some fx, another break similar to the first, a snare drop, and the exact same beat drop again, some acid, same fx and dark atmosphere as before again, and another break almost the exact same a third time, aaaaaand the exact same rhythm scheme and beats aaaaagain a third time drop exactly the same as in the first part of the track, 2.30 min left, another snare drop, and same beats minus some of the texture and it just fades out,

I dooooont hear the quality. For me a really predictible/lazy arranged uninteresting track

Daysleeper you are saying it is formulaic? That might be true but a lot of good tracks follow tried and tested formula. Its not necessarily a write off if its conventional. I get good energy from this track. I agree its not a creative piece, but it has other things going for it.

Not for me this one. Great to see the label is still getting traction @Enlusion but the release didn't excite me . Glad to see it appeals to others.

Sounds good to me! Maybe a totw if I get my act together and update the component
Mods with shameless favoritism smh my head 👺

Yeah, it's maybe nothing that hasn't been done before, but it's always exciting when there's a new face on the scene, and IMO it's a strong entry for what I'm assuming is a relatively new producer! Personally reminds me of some of the Saturate Audio releases sonically, I think that was my first really big prog label crush.

e: yep he's come along quite a ways
