Dustin Skiles always offers some great tunes, and "Tell Me" is no exception. I love everything about this track.

Superstar, the third EP from the young German producer Thomas Wagner (aka Tomic), features four tracks of pure progressive house. Tomic's previous two EPs—entitled EP 1.2 and Inside The Flow—received much-deserved support from around the globe and was charted by Hernan Cattaneo.

This first EP for the Lost Language label is comprised of three tracks. While the first two tracks are definitely progressive, the last one is—refreshingly—something completely different.

The odd thing here is that the track is not bad at all, yet for some reason, this release does nothing for me. It seems to be a product of a cookie-cutter formula, much like when epic trance was popular. Don't get me wrong. This is a good track; it's just not doing anything for me.

We have different flavors of house here, but fear not: Justice is done to both the electro and the progressive styles.

"Rapture" is an excellent song, but I've heard it way too many times already. True, the remixers did great work in improving on the original, but ultimately I think we need to leave this genre behind and move forward.

Borrowing from the info that we got from the label, "This is a new mix CD series from Baroque Records. The concept is like Sasha's Involver where each track in the mix is a remix done by Shiloh for the mix. In some cases, what you are hearing is a remix of a remix." When I first read that, I was very excited. Being a fan of both Shiloh and Sasha's Involver, I could not wait to listen to this project.

Acid Winter is a bit of a departure from Spector's previous releases.  Those familiar with the dance duo will know that they definitely have a handle on contemporary production techniques, so the retro sound you'll find here might be surprising.

Queep Organic House introduces their next release, entitled "Mankind". Coming from progressive house producer Fuzik, the original version is a listener-friendly throwback to progressive the way it used to be.

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.
