Nice to see this Compilation back again. Some Familiar names on Enhanced as well as a couple of new faces to the label. I'll post full mixes once they're up

Also @Ishiro Nice to see LESSISLESS on this, I enjoyed your collab Ode To The Sunset this year so interested to see what Calm sounds like

Even as dance productions I think they are truly truly terrible terrible terrible tracks. I even critique him on his soundcloud.

It's the exact same sounds he was doing a decade ago and I still feel the same about it; the sound design is cool, but something about the composition just bores me.


Concerning the rest of the compilation, I might dislike this minimalistic techno infused trend even more than the 2.0 trends of the 2010s.

Out now. First post updated with full mixes.

Probably my favourites unreleased tracks on the Compilation are:
a film about ducks - Out Of My Mind
LESSISLESS - Calm
Craig Connelly Pres. CIRCA96 - Catamaran Tuesday
Nitrous Oxide & Simon Gregory Pres. Digital Drift & Katey Brooks - Call It Love
Nitrous Oxide- La Musica

Tbf, Sunny Lax - Eternal was made over 4 years ago, he played it as an ID on his Danube Boat set in 2021 and it doesn't sound too different here. The break of Farius & Parallels - Beyond The Light is also over 4 years old, though Farius was not mentioned for the ID at the time and other parts pretty much have changed completely since this

Why would you ever critique his tracks? He is one of the best prog trance producers ever, I basically love almost all of his productions, to me he is a hero!

I think those tracks sound terrible and he is not the best he is a 2 hit wonder at best.

did he do anything really good in past 10 years? he's not even always making it to Anjuna and has a lot of his leftovers released on Enhanced Prog meaning even by the standards of THAT sound he's far from top tier

Enhanced was also purchased by a company potentially valued at almost 1 $ billion dollars US they are a small fish anymore.

$1bn-valued Create Music Group acquires 50% stake in UK label and publisher Enhanced - Music Business Worldwide

CMG’s investment comes after closing a $165 million investment round earlier this year.

I can make a list of 30 songs, that I loved in the past 3 years from him, if you want
This one is one of them, maybe my favourite from his latest tracks...

We turning this into a Sunny Lax thread? lol

Ah okay, slightly older track. Even if it's not to my taste I'm glad things finally get proper releases

I think those tracks sound terrible and he is not the best he is a 2 hit wonder at best.

Bruh, he's had way more than just 2 good tracks! Plus even if I don't care for his contemporary stuff, he still has a distinctive style. Can't say that about everyone.

Most recent thing from him I've added to my library was Greensight from 2017... though even that track has some issues (pryda snare)
Anjuna's moved away from the big electro festival 2.0 sound, so it's no surprise they aren't taking his stuff currently.


I need to give Crystals another try :V
