    John 00 Fleming - The Lost Tribe (Artist Album) [JOOF]

    The first track sounds like bedrock, not melodic techno IMO. The groove in "Alone" is progressive and well-designed, too.

    Ceephax Acid Crew - Slam Zone (Album) [Waltzer]

    Thanks for sharing! I'll watch it later :)

    Ceephax Acid Crew - Slam Zone (Album) [Waltzer]

    I have to admit this album is one of my favorite dance music albums of 2025. It features those exciting sound -- '90s Acid Techno & Acid House, Jungle House, Breakbeat Hardcore, along with some Euro Trance & Funky elements. More importantly, C.A.C. organizes them in a convincing way. I...

    Forceflow - Ziran / West Bund [Borderline Music]

    Forceflow told me that the inspiration of "Ziran" comes from Ferry Costen's "Remember".

    Matty Ralph - 1999 [bebé recordings]

    I like his "Te Adoro", but this one is a disaster IMO. The rhythm is so weird -- it sounds like a child running with his pants off. It's extremely annoying, but not s**t though.

    Vincent De Moor ‎- Promo Album (Unreleased)

    I strongly agree with JDA & Shivace. It's crazy!!!

    Paolo Mosca – Hypnotism [Pergola Recordings]

    I really like the two tracks you share, but the other tracks in "Selected Works III" are not to my taste.

    VA - Forum EP04 [Trancefix Recordings]

    Well, I have to admit I like "Papillion". The thing truly makes music special and musical is composer's identity rather than perfection, IMO. "Papillion" is special and different from the songs I usually listen to, it reminds me a lot about Torakka's "Far Out Express" -- talented and free to...

    VA - Forum EP04 [Trancefix Recordings]

    I have to show my gratitude to @NameLessYet and @Sean Cong. It's definitely a huge release in the trance community this year, and None Of The Tracks Are Bad. "Papillion" reminds me of some tracks in the album "Think About Myself" by Cosmic Baby. Sometimes, the melody and arps recede into the...

    RCS pres. Azurescape - Out There EP [Transtate Records]

    Sunflower is a killer tone, may be one of the best tracks of this year. It contains the vibe and sound that classic mainstage trance lovers eager to hear!

    Forceflow - Ziran / West Bund [Borderline Music]

    The tracks are good, but do not reach the level of Saul Murphy's Sweet Dreams, IMO. Maybe I will give them a 7/10 B+.

    Alan Backdrop - SPT011 [Space Trax]

    SPT +Alan Backdrop = Double Quality Assurance. I've just bought the vinyl on deejay.de.

    Narel — Baseline (incl. Coredata, Cosmithex, Scanfix Remixes) [Forescape Digital]

    The original cerebral mix is an instant classic -- one of the best tracks I've ever heard in Forescape Digital. Yet I have to admit the remixes are all solid tracks.

    OUT Basil O'Glue - Kodex / 1999 (The Remixes) Gordy Tsukanov / Slam Duck / You Are My Salvation [Forescape Digital]

    YAMS' remix is better, though it sounds too "floating" for me. I prefer the original mix.

    Skylander - My Fairlady

    I guess Ishiro has the lossless files. Actually, we have been listening to them on Chinese music platforms for about 7 months. Maybe you could ask him for a copy?

    Irini - Lost In Dreams [All Possible Worlds]

    I finally finished listening to this album over the past couple of days. It might be one of the best Emotional Rave Music LPs of 2025 IMO -- exactly the kind of emotional electronic music I've been longing to hear, filled with a sense of detachment and dreamlike illusion. Irini has a remarkable...

    OUT Activa - Velika [VII]

    Some of my friends told me that they dislike the track. Maybe it needs a more impressive melody to hook the listenrs. But I love its instrumentation and vibe, quite solid and sublime.

    Sleep D - Odyssey [Magicwire]

    I have just bought the digital album on Bandcamp. The groovy bassline in the Main Mix reminds me of "Time Warp" by Julian Del Agranda, and the remix has old-school progeressive vibe with multiple layers. All the tracks are solid, nice to hear these retro sounds in 2026. :)
