I accidentally listened to the "God is Love" track first and that, combined with the artwork and the title of the EP, made me expect the EKAET tracks to be very string laden and worship stylized. I was surprised to instead find that the original and the two remixes were minimal stripped down trance tracks with only touches of the epic flavor I was geared up for by then.

This is the new release by Christian Electronic staples, Sheltershed. Although the group has put out some quality tracks in the past, I feel as if this is a group at a crossroad: industrial or dance?

Wow… Hybrid has done it again. The Welsh breaks duo composed of Mike Truman and Chris Healing is back with their third full-length LP, entitled "I Choose Noise". This record is 67 solid minutes of mind-opening and beautifully written dance music (primarily breaks). The moods range from late-night floor-fillers to casual in-home chill music.

To start, the promo service we received this release from only provided us with three of the nine songs on the full album: "I Need A Miracle", "Take Me By The Hand", and "Give Me Love". However, I was able to make a decent projection about the rest of the album based on the few songs I heard.

When I learned this album was coming out, I knew I had to get it. Shiloh is a perennial favorite of mine in the progressive genre, and the Moreh brothers' work is well known and loved worldwide.

I have been a big fan of Joel's work for some time and love his attention to detail in his tracks. This track is great and continues a trend for Joel as a rising star in progressive house music.

This 4-track release is the fourth release on the fairly new Giantslayers label.

Up and coming techno label Giantslayers brings us Matthew Hyatt's latest work of art, "Appearances". With energetic beats and rolling bass lines, the vibe of this piece is everything. If you dig the late '90's tech house sound (before the painfully over-used "fart" synth came in to popularity), then do not miss this release.

I was looking for Trance mixes, and this one stood out from the rest. Maybe it was the incredibly hot girl on the cover or maybe the fact that it’s mixed by Airwave. I don’t know for sure. I love Airwave’s remix of Above & Beyond feat. Andy Moor “Air for Life” and lo and behold! It’s on here!

This is what I like to hear in a Trance mix: a steady flow and mixture of Vocal and Instrumental tracks that hold the listener’s attention. Armin (Van Buuren) is a fantastic song writer and DJ in anyone’s book, and his radio show, A State of Trance, is heard all over the world today. In fact, the radio stations that carry his broadcast are listed on the inside sleeve of the CD.
