US-based hypertrance label Dropout Productions is out with their 4th release, following the awesome Project Eleusis (a special tribute compilation celebrating Albert Hofmann's 100th Birthday) released in January 2006. This follow-up compilation was announced shortly thereafter, and is now finally available in the shops… The tracklist looks impressive as always with Dropout Productions and once again it’s time to make the earth shake with some hard-hitting, gut-wrenching Bay Area thrash… Let’s take a big old bite and light up…
Another solid Dropout Productions release comes to a halt. This label has fast established itself as a quality platform for quality music – and this is another sure-fit compilation with more than a handful of stand-out tracks… With no less than 4 tracks involving the now deceased Russian producer Viktor Zolotarenko, this compilation also kinda functions as a memorial tool – a requiem for Zolod! There are a couple of tracks that didn’t do anything for me, but they are easily outnumbered by the many excellent, non-conformist tracks here… Well done usual suspects!
As usual, Dropout Productions also takes chances with the artwork, and the cuddly artwork with Simba the dog has already turned some heads… I kinda like it though and embrace the ironic breath of fresh air… Another plus is the handy DJ slip with indication of BPM… All in all another fine Dropout Productions compilation – and a safe purchase for label fans as well as fans of versatile, well-produced, banging night trance… You’ll want to chew on this! … Enjoy!
