i have every release off this label except 15/16 (not good tunes) proper uk hardtrance verging on the outerness of slower freeform and helix-esque styles...all nice and easy to mix with the (sumtimes) speed of nearly freeform to most of them but throwable into hardtrance sets where they live easiest...all with good melodies ... proper uk hardtrance sounds from the late 90's...

a seminal label

Review by EMISARI Apr 25, 2003
xy2 was a sub-label of Stage One Music Co. along with labels FDN, Blame Technology, Stompin Choonz, Jal and Jal Premium. It is now owned by Nu Energy Collective and some tracks are still available through their site. xy2 featured the most up front producers in the 97 era from Helix, Tekno Dred, Citadel Of Kaos, Fury, Cortex and Energy. The labels main sound direction was influenced by Hardtrance and Psytrance fusion with a tempo more towards the Trancecore edge. FTS>>>
