Review by Rickorion Feb 24, 2007 (edited over 2 years ago)
Retrobyte is quickly becoming a driving force in the Progressive/Tech/Electro House and Trance scenes.

His sound is extremely fresh in what has lately become a stale genre. Lots of swelling bass lines, fresh vocal work and generous use of the sidechain has made his work see a lot of play time by such well known DJ's as Armin Van Buuren, Gabriel and Dresden, Dumb Dan, Matt Darey, Ozgur Can and many others.

Expect many more great remixes and original tracks from this man.
