    The Digital Blonde - Legato 22 / Callakuma 22 [JOOF]

    Legato absolutely smashed the place at Lumi (well the few of us that were there sadly). The entire set is DB productions only, but the 00.db album is completed!

    Paul Van Dyk & Amos & Riot Night - ID [VANDIT]

    Since I could not find a thread for this collab, here's my recording from last Friday at Printworks' last ever trance show :cry: Had a long chat with Riot Night at the gig, release date is very soon :)

    Paul Van Dyk & Alex M.O.R.P.H. - Hawkins Square [VANDIT]

    We will get our hands on the Amos & Riot Night collab in a few weeks thankfully :) Absolute peak euphoria track that one!

    OUT Robert Nickson - Rocket Surgery [FSOE]

    Heard this over the weekend at Printworks and the track is mega! I'll have a better sample posted tomorrow with a bit of crowd chatter unfortunately. Regardless, that synth lead is proper dark :devilish:

    OUT Sam Jones - Incoming [Outburst Records]

    Haha, even Sam agrees with my statement, taken from the SC link - "I'm not sure what to say about this track accept it goes down a storm and there's a lot going on"

    Chris Johnson - The Next Chapter [Borderline]

    Heard this premiered at Lumi, 100% highlight track for me from the entire event

    OUT Ben Hemsley - Erase Me (Original Mix) [Armada Music]

    Great balearic, prog trance sounding record! Really stood out when I heard it on the recent FSOE episode.

    OUT Andrea Ribeca - Spielraum [FSOE]

    Spielraum can also be interpreted as "room to move" or "margin" so it's a bit of a grey area unless Andrea tells us exactly what he meant 😅

    OUT Sean Tyas & Bjorn Akesson - Zahi (Sean Tyas Remix) [Regenerate]

    Always loved the intro to Zahi, wicked melody that went into a great breakdown. Sadly for me the climax felt too flat compared to the intro. Sean added a couple of extra layers in the break and I see he made an octave change in some of the notes in the main melody. Maybe it's the bad recording...

    Techno trancier than trance

    Charlotte's label is doing some interesting "techno" nowadays. I say techno because that's the name she decided to associated with the label to avoid potential stigmas. However, most of the records are closer to old-school tech trance blended with some acid elements, just listen to that...

    OUT AA Meeting - Summit [VII]

    I'd venture to say the AA material is meant for the club cranked to 145bpm and smashing the dance floor, just like what PvD was doing back in the Amnesia days. They played over 140 during their set no doubt, I reckon this track is 142-143 in original mix form. Their whole set was pure banging...

    Atlantis - Vengeance (ID remix)

    Starts at 58:45. Everything points towards an Activa rework, but I'm keeping it as an ID for now pending further info.

    OUT Johan Ekman - Life Adjust [Regenerate]

    Have not seen Johan release anything in ages! I see he's still using a lot of acid sounds, which was always a nice touch to his records. Melodies in uplifting are so rarely captivating nowadays, there's all a dime a dozen and to be fair it's nothing to write home about. The side-chain and kick...

    OUT Push pres. Retro-Active - Blacked Out [Bonzai Classics]

    I'm not even going to bother to give constructive criticism on this release as it's lacklustre imo. Cookie cutter techno in one track, and an attempt to jump on the hard acid techno with the other. Both would be ignored unless the Push name was in front, which is my other big gripe with the...

    OUT The Digital Blonde - Magic EP [Psyworld Records]

    It's great to see Ricky back to the dark side! Don't get me wrong, I love the NEON trilogy but sometimes I felt we needed darker, more twisted, horror inducing sounds, similar to the 00.db, Serenade, and Witches material. That riff at 8:00 is vintage 00.db and so is the entire climax Both...

    Jose Amnesia - Kassos [Age One]

    Jose Amnesia: I can do a full track with 100 random layers within 4m30 Digital Blonde: I can make an intro to a song longer than 4m30 Jokes aside, the record has some really cool old school elements, especially in the percussion but what the hell happened to the climax?! It's as if someone cut...

    Sebastian Brandt - ID [TBA]

    Love the main synth, reminds me of Liam Wilson - Remember Me. Kandiman's piano is instantly recognisable. I know it's been overdone to death, and I've been one of his biggest critics since imo Kandi is the main responsible for the current state of uplifting. His track Child became the template...

    OUT Sam Jones - Incoming [Outburst Records]

    So still a ways off. I'm nevertheless convinced this is a Sam Jones track, there's simply tooooo much craziness in this track for it to be a Scot Project production
