This is the second "digital" release to come from Andy Moor's AVA Recordings label. Here we have a tasty double header from two newcomers, Matthias Baumann and Roland Geringer, who produce under the moniker Cressida.

Anjunabeats have been at the forefront of the world of trance for a good few years now and head up the work in the UK and Europe especially. The Anjunabeats series has often been seen as the way marker of trance.

the halogen ep is a jaunt into trance and breakbeat that I found myself liking considerably. But I am not sure if I am enjoying it because it reminds me of Cloud2Ground and similar groups or because it is original in itself. I do recommend it though, even if only because it leans on favorite elements in the genre.

Major Pax hits us with the 6-track I Want A New Life EP. This was, more than most releases, an interesting one. Through genre variety and a very personal sound, Major Pax delivers several great tracks.

Ten of Monica's most popular songs were handed over to the masterful hands of two highly skilled trance producers. Russia's DJ Ram and Nevarakka from Sweden each took turns dismantling, mangling, and reinventing Schroeder's music. So here I sit in an apartment practically overlooking Red Square in downtown Moscow, listening to my new favourite Russian producer and his Scandinavian counterpart for this project.

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.

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.

This is a 2005 track that just won’t quit. I would assume all the Trance-lovers out there are familiar with both Cosmic Gate and Jan Johnston and this is a winning combination from start to finish. Jan has a great vocal style and her lyrics are far from cheesy in a genre that has its fair share of just that.

Christian dance veteran producer/DJ 404 brings us a new 12 track remix CD for "Deep Inside". Sporting remixes from some of the scene's greatest, this CD is packed full of gems.
