Techno Marathon Vol. 3 - The Ultimate Megamix
reviewed on 04/05/01 Label: 2001 Dance Network/ZYX (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: DNT10068-2 |
|
| Review: | |
Next mix done by SWG
Team as legal bootleg for Dance Network/ZYX called "TECHNO
MARATHON - Volune 3". By now you should know that behind
SWG TEAM are DJ DEEP and DJ STUDIO 33. After trouble
with their illegal releases as DEEP DANCE
and STUDIO 33 they no longer release
any of them and went to fully legit products as "TECHNO
MARATHON - Volune 3" is as well also recently released
on SONY "CHARTMIX - vol 9".
The double compilation features 79 tunes mixed in DJ DEEP and
STUDIO 33 style. So if you missed their original mixing technique,
here is your opportunity to refresh your memory. Both dudes do remain
masters of digital mixing and this product is indeed of superior quality.
I am not sure if you aware how much trouble it takes to have like 79
tracks licensed for one issue, but I can assure, it is a horrid experience.
Therefore, the time to obtain all necessary licenses prevented from
having current hits on. Therefore, almost all featured tracks are from
2000 with only few exceptions. By no means it really impacts this offering.
The mix is great and selection outstanding. Featured songs are short
but in most cases not as short as they were in their's forementioned
bootlegs. About 40 tracks per each CD. This is an ultimate party mix
for all of you who admire quality TECHNO/TRANCE
sound. I highly recommend this release. In sound sampler I featured
10 tracks with original mixing retained wherever it was possible. Enjoy!
Buy this product to support original artist and to validate DJ DEEP
and DJ STUDIO 33 legal work. If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Tunnel Trance Force - Vol. 16
reviewed on 03/28/01 Label: 2001 Sony Music Media (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 501 995 2 |
|
| Review: | |
First edition in 2001
of "Tunnel Trance" is
finally out and is packed with 36 TRANCE/TECHNO
tunes to die for. As usually both CDs are mixed by DJ DEAN. The
selection of music is superb and mixing allows you flawlessly move from
one to another track. First CD is more TRANCE
oriented. It futures some tracks you should be familiar by now like:
"We Will Survive" by WARP
BROTHERS, "Castles In The Sky"
by IAN VAN DAHL or "R.U.F.F. Cuts"
by AXEL KONRAD just naming the few. Most of the tracks though
are rather new and in most cases represent cutting-edge TRANCE.
The first CD starts with brand new AQUAGEN track "3,
2, 1 Feiern". As you might expect from this project the
track is dynamic TECHNO/TRANCE fare with
distinctive bass line and hard pounding buttom. Rather dark. If you
like KAI TRACID style, try "Mysterious
Skies". Beatifully crafted TRANCE
with angelic and enigmatic female vocals. As I mentioned somewhere before,
seems like FRENCH language is getting use heavier and heavier in TRANCE
productions these days. Good example of this trend serves "La
Musique" by RAINBOW WARRIOR. Track starts with seducive
blue eye female vocals as intro to a extremely powerful fare with strings
of heavenly synths surrounding the listener. Truly a beatiful TRANCE
production for big room TRANCE circuit.
As a matter of fact you are blessed with other equally potent tracks
like: "Another World" by CHECKMATE
or "World Traffic" by CENTRAL
PARK and "Weltklang" by MARCO
ZAFFARANO. Truly an oustanding offering. Second CD is more TECHNO
oriented but some TRANCE sound is featured
as well. It's starts with TECHNO/DRUM'N'BASS
tune "Alarm" by RUSSENMAFIA.
Several highlights on this CD as well. For die-hard clubbers "Die
Herdplatte 2000" by GARY D in another PROGRESSIVE-TECHNO
fare. Some of you who like the mellow TRANCE
mixed with tought and sturdy TECHNO "Terminate"
by L'AGE SYNTHETIQUE will suffice. For more club-oriented tunes
turn for "Tha-P-Anthem" by DJ
PASSION. Speedy TECHNO with interesting
buttom CATHEDRAL-like arrangements. You should love this twist. Another
example of search for new shades of sound. So taken together very good
release. One of the best from this series and so far it on the top of
my list of releases from TRANCE/TECHNO
genre in category of mixed compilation. I am sure you wil lbe stunned
by featured music. This is also the reason why the sound sampler has
12 tracks from this offering. I didn't retain the original mixing by
DJ DEAN and in general I tried to give you a hint what to expect, but
real thing will truly amaze you! I strongly recommend this set. For
now enjoy the sound.If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Next volume from this
pure TECHNO-TRANCE oriented series. You
might recall that I reviewed previous volume last year and I gave
a little bit background on it. Basically the concept came from the
name of ultimate TECHNO CLUB called "Dorian Gray" that was
localized in Frankfurt's Airport in Germany. The club is now closed
but legend continues. All previous releases in this series contained
two mixes (sort of "a DJ battle"). This one is no different.
The first CD is mixed by veteran of German TECHNO
- TALLA 2XLC, and the second by DUMONDE, a project of
two well known DJs: JAMX (Jürgen Mutschall) and DELEON
(Dominik de Leon). So let's start with TALLA 2XLC who marked
2000 as year of "conquering the U.S.A.". He appeared live
in Miami, L.A, San Diego, San Francisco, he even made it here in Washington,
DC. His mix featured 15 tunes with several already huge club monsters
like "Devotion" by YAHEL,
his own "World In My Eyes"
or "Wasteland" by KAMAYA
PAINTERS. As you might expect he has chosen mostly TECHNO
fares for his performance. He also put several interesting TRANCE
as well just to mention "Viola"
by MOOGWAI, dramatic in synth-line "Escape"
by AGE 2 or "My Generation"
by AIRFIRE with beatiful piano section and angelic female vocal
putting this tune in verge of DREAM sound.
The second CD mixed by DUMONDE project features the combination
of TECHNO and TRANCE
as well. Indeed a very interesting mix with many incredible highlights
like "The Afterword" by JASON
NEWMAN, "Loving You" by
ROB SEARL vs. VINYL BABY or "Release
Me" by FACTOR 9 just to mention the few. Entire
mix is cutting-edge offering for both DJs and many of you who like
this type of music. Outstanding release! In sound sampler I featured
8 tracks from both CD's. I couldn't present you the original mixing
since I hand picked tracks but trust me, it is very good job done
by both teams. Enjoy! and don't forget to buy this one!| Title:
Dream Dance vol. 19
reviewed on 03/11/01 Label: 2001 Sony Music Media (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 501855 2 |
|
| Review: | |
Also a new installment
from DREAM DANCE series is now available.
This series remains to be a very good seller since it proved a good
quality of music (like BRAVO series
for TOP-40). One thing to remember about
this series is the fact that the music featured is mainstream of TECHNO
and TRANCE. So usually you will find tracks
that are widely played not only in clubs but also on the radio. Also
name DREAM HOUSE in title is actually obsolete,
since not that many production in this genre surface the earth these
days (maybe with exception of "Fiji"
by ATLANTIS vs. AVATAR feat. MIRIAM STOCKLEY, since it is a crossover
between DREAM and TRANCE,
a very delicate line indeed). As usually you have 40 songs to choose
from and many of them are brand new and/or already quite well known
just to mention "Exploration of Space"
by COSMIC GATE, "The Free Fall"
by BEAM & YANOU, "Castles In The
Sky" by IAN VAN DAHL and others. From the classic
psychodelic era of VISAGE we have their "Fade
to Grey" done in TRANCE mood
by P2. Very interesting interpreation of this classic with actually
quite similar sound to original! Speaking of TRANCE,
you might find interesting Rank 1 Remix of SYSTEM F's "Cry
2001". This big room cult fave gets tapped with this "new"
interpretation you should be delighted with. Same in line is York Remix
of "Una Musica Senza Ritmo" by
DEGENERATION. The second CD starts with "Loving
You" by MARC and CLAUDE. While I am sure most of
you following the genre know the track quite well already, the featured
Bodyshock Dream Dance Edit might be new and even more fascinating. I
have to admit this is a very progressivley made circuit marvel with
seductive female vocal and hypnotic bottom. This CD features also brand
new from KAYLAB "Here We Go".
This is also rich CD with amazing tunes like "City
Lights" by MARIO DE BELLIS, "The
Touch" by BALTES vs. STEVENS or "Ocean
Of Emotion" by DJ SESSION ONE just to pick few. So
taken together if you collect this series, you have to get it. Again
the only problem I have is the fact that versions featured are short
or in many cases simply abruptly shortened. This is the price you have
to pay to have 40 tunes in one offering. For the sound sampler I have
chosen 8 tracks from both CDs. Enjoy !If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |

Trancemaster 28
reviewed on 03/06/01 Label: 2001 Vision Soundcarriers / Zomba (Germany) Style: Techno/Trance Index #: 302 4102-2 |
|
| Review: | |
Just few days ago I reviewed
"TRANCEMASTER
Vol. 27" and now it is time for volume 28. If you
already listened to previous volumes you should be ready for the load
of high quality TRANCE and TECHNO
stuff. Once again compilation delivered uncompromised sound in this
set with 24 full length tracks. First CD starts with heavy TECHNO
fare by YVES DEUYTER "Back To Earth".
This is scrumptious and dark production. Good hard club fare to get
you going. If you are looking for good TRANCE production you will be
in heaven. There is plenty of them just to mention "Day
Time" by 4 STRINGS, "Providence"
by REVERB vs. FLASH GORDON and many others. "Day
Time" is very emotional with cascading synth lines and scintillating
strings. Pure big room TRANCE to surround
you! "Right In Motion" by NOSTRUM
is yet another beauty with soaring strings and dazzling synthesizers
over turbo-charged buttom. Angelic voice in the distant background adds
additional mystery to the drama. WOW! As a matter of fact first CD is
flooded with beautiful TRANCE sound. For
instance from FERRY CORSTEN label TSUNAMI comes "Field
Of Joy" by TONY WALKER. The tracks starts as TECHNO
fare but slowly evolves into dazzling TRANCE.
An ultimate big room pleasure. Another tune "Altitude"
by CASCADE provides melodic backdrop in this turbo-charged TRANCE
majestic tune! The CD closes Italian tune composed by MAURO PICOTTO
"Sweet Dreams" performed by CRW.
Club masterpiece. The second CD starts with TECHNO-HOUSE
tune "Impetuous" by COLLUSION
in Extended Version. This is quite different version compared with one
featured in video (clip to this track is featured in our VIDEO
Section). Essential for club scene. This CD is actually more TECHNO
oriented that the first one with such tracks like "Lost
Emotions 2001" by FIRE & ICE, "Dance"
by APOLLO or "Weltklang"
by MARCO ZAFFARANO just to name the few. Fans of TRANCE will
also find this CD exciting with tracks like "4
Elements" by GAIA. Featured Extended mix is simply
a phenomenal TRANCE fare and an unforgettable
experience. One will appreciate the powerhouse rhythm highlighted at
key intervals by the haunting electronic piano strings. Taken together
this compilation is just unreal. With such fine selection and beautiful
music you will have two hours of experience that will stimulate your
mind and your feelings. You will wish this to not end! In sound sampler

| Title:
DJ TOP 40 - Volume 5
reviewed on 03/05/01 Label: ZYX/Dance Network (Germany) Style: Dance Index #: DNT 10063-2 |
|
| Review: | |
After almost 7 months new
set of "DJ TOP 40" was
released by ZYX. Since it's original launch it has been a good source
of German dance tunes. As such it still fits the purpose. You will find
on this double DC set 40 tunes mosntly from TECHNO
and TRANCE genres. These days there are
so many compilations on the market, making the ultimate choices almost
impossible. Well... you might probably be a victim of this dilemma when
looking at the content of this set. Most of the tracks featured here
are from 2000 and if you are into these genres, I am sure you already
made essential shopping, but in other hand if you are looking for the
compilation that features just this sound, this one might be good for
you. Essential tracks such as "Bass, Beats
& Melody" by BROOKLYN BOUNCE, "Anthem
# 4" by FLOORFILLA, "It's
My Turn" by ANGELIC or really overkilled "Silence"
by DELERIUM feat. SARAH MCLACHLAN are here. You will also find
tracks by BLANK & JONES, GIGI D'AGOSTINO, MARIO LOPEZ and
others that are already floating around. You will also find newer tunes
like "R.U.F.F. Cuts" by AXEL
KONRAD, "Die Sirenen" by
GROSSMANN/SPRANGER and several others. What makes this compilation
a good buy is it's consistency and quality in terms of choices for the
featured tracks. It gives you a good overview of what is being played
and featured in German charts. For sound sampler I prepared a mix featuring
8 tracks from this double CD that I didn't presented before. Enjoy!

N.Y.C. Underground Party - Volume 3 reviewed
on 03/03/01 Label: 2000 E-lastic Recordings (US) Style: Trance/Techno/House Index #: ERCD 5002 |
|
| Review: | |
Another bummer on my side.
Being focused on what is released in Europe I neglected US, so I missed
that one as well. Let me present you volume 3 of "N.Y.C.
Undergroud Party", CD mixed by LOUIE DEVITO.
What might be an underground sound in NYC is already a mainstream sound
of European clubs (at least in large part). Many tracks should be known
to you already very well and do not need introduction. You will find
in this set "classic" tracks like "Pitchin'"
by HI-GATE, "Sandstorm"
by DARUDE, "Kernkraft 400"
by ZOMBIE or "Someone"
by ASCENSION. Also quite recent tunes were featured like "Castles
In The Sky" by IAN VAN DAHL or very popular last
Summer "I Turn To You" by MELANIE
C. in very dynamic and conquering mix. I also found several excellent
tracks I didn't see on any other recently reviewed compilations. One
of them is an amazing OPERA TRANCE tune
"Spente le Stelle" by opera singer
EMMA SHAPPLIN. I was paralyzed when I heard it for the first time.
The composition written and produced by Jean-Patrick Capdevielle
is an apogeum of cutting-edge TRANCE with
intoxicating melodic line, synths from heaven and incredible soprano
of EMMA. Together producing unbelievable experience. This tune
already reached high position in BILLBOARD magazine !!! (no kidding!).
Other tracks that were previously unknown to me are "Final
Chapter" by MIKE MACALUSO. Combination of TECHNO
and PROGRESSIVE. The synth work is excellent
as well. From team of DANSKI and DJ DELMUNDO, we have
here "Kiss" performed by DJ
SUGAR KID & BAD BOY JOE. Starting from track 12 we enter
UNDERGROUND HOUSE with tracks like "Dive
In The Pool" by BARRY HARRIS, "Don't
Want Another Man" by DYNAMIX and few others. The
CD closes with "NYC Underground Party Vol.
3 Medley" in BAD BOY JOE's Radio Edit. This is all
traxx from the comp in the mix. Neat! Taken together I learn a lesson
that it's time to start looking for domestic releases. Here in the US
we are getting already releases from TRANCE/TECHNO
genres, but they are usually lagged compared to their original date
of releases, but seems this is now improved. Get this CD, if you like
dance music. LOUIE DEVITO done an excellent mixing job providing you
with good party stunner. In sound sampler I featured 6 tracks from this
offering. Check them out! If you want to buy this compilation or other great euro releases, visit http://www.europemusic.com |
