I like most genres of music and have begun to discover the various styles of the Dance movement. My favourite artists include Afterlife, Cantoma, David West and Funabashi. I also produce music, but you should already know this! I have done about as many original tracks as I have remixes, or thereabouts. If you want to download any tracks for free, you can do so here. I also have a record label for releasing some of my old music and am gradually catching up to my present-day material. Check out Lavender Recordings. | |

Various - Ayurveda Buddha Lounge Vol. 2 - 15-Jul-08 02:43 PM
I've always been intrigued by the Ayurveda Buddha Lounge series ever since I heard some of the tracks Volume 3 has to offer. This is a pretty unique take on Chillout as it focuses more on the world sounds of the genre.
There is a big influence of the East in this compilation as you'll hear some Oriental and also Indian-inspired sounds in some of the songs. It's achieved really well as it still manages to keep to the "Chill" criteria. My favourite track so far is Eduard Arroy's "Anyway". It too carries the rather Indian sound but also carries a beautiful acoustic part towards the middle of the song.
I think this is perhaps the best Chillout compilation I have at the moment and hope to get more in the series. The works you hear in these compilations are the most relaxing of Chillout you may ever hear.
Smith & Pledger - Forever (Aspekt Vocal Mix) - 09-Jun-08 05:24 PM
A beautiful remix from the duo and, in my opinion, far better suited for the vocals. The ambiance around Carrie Skipper's voice is stunningly transformed in this deep and dreamy progressive remix. This seems like something to listen to easing you into the night, or perhaps something to wake up to on an exotic beach at sunrise. Either way, it holds a magical atmosphere which rivals Sunlounger's work! Highly recommended to fans of Progressive Trance and maybe also House as there is quite an influence of House present in this mix.
Smith & Pledger - In Too Deep - 09-Jun-08 05:12 PM
A pretty nice tune and is quite different from most normal Smith & Pledger productions. Of course, that could be quite a vague statement as they have quite a range of styles. But anyway, this one has the beautiful 2002/03 Trance sound all over it and does remind me a lot of something Airbase might make. Perhaps Ollie and Mark were inspired by him in some way? It'd make sense as the duo remixed Airbase's Mono production "Rise".
So, as I was saying, a great tune. Worth getting despite it's rather exclusive availability. Fans of the 2002/03 sound of Trance will love it!
Flip & Fill Feat Jo James - Field Of Dreams - 19-May-08 08:37 AM
Oh dear. This release is pretty bad. But then, this was back when Flip & Fill had a very basic template sound (their remix of Cascada's "What Hurts The Most" is a real improvement). Now, I've gotta be honest, I only got this one for the Voodoo & Serano Remix! All the other mixes on here are so lame in comparison. Well, the Q-Tex Remix is pretty cool. It has that Scott Brown Trance sound going on, which I'm quite a fan of. The Voodoo & Serano Remix, however, has so much more energy in it. In my opinion, it even rivals their remix of Ian Van Dahl's "Will I". So if you're a fan of Voodoo & Serano, this single is a worthy addition to your collection of their productions and remixes. And if you're an anti-fan of Flip & Fill, I'd stay away from this one! Although, as I said earlier in this review, they have recently improved.
Various - Anjunabeats One Hundred Part One - 19-May-08 08:20 AM
Fantastic release. We've waited many a-year for this one but it's really payed off! On this CD exists some fine remakes of some of Anjunabeats' most classic Trance anthems ever concieved.
The first track, is probably the most anticipated by Anjunabeats fans ever since it was heard on Above & Beyond's Trance Around The World radio show. And what an awesome update it is! Fusing the classic "Razorfish" melody with the sounds and style of Claessen's "Aria Epica" remix has proven really effective and there is so much atmosphere and energy present in this remix.
Super8 & Tab's rendition of "Amsterdam" is an interesting one. Maybe a little unnecissary since the remarkable remix from Smith & Pledger, but indeed, a worthy addition to the song. if you were a fan of some of Super8's solo work, then check this one out. It has more influence of his style in this. But, I suppose it's similar in style to Super8 & Tab's collaboration effort "Suru", so it's all open to interpretation!
Mike Shiver's remix of the definitive OceanLab classic has become quite anticipated as, like Track 1, it was also feature on Trance Around The World, for a time. This piece of progressive gives a new look on the sound of the Above & Beyond Progressive Mix from the original "Clear Blue Water" single with it's floaty atmosphere in combination with some electro-inspired bass sounds.
By far, my favourite on this disc, this remix of "Lital" is a superb take on the deep progressive dreaminess of the original from Maor. Taking the vocals of the original and transforming everything around it to even include a chorus. This is a remarkable piece from Kandi and quite sought after by most Trance fans I know.
Ahh, what a relaxing mix. DJ Shah brings his Summer sound to the heavenly "Sky Falls Down", and with some fantastic results. It's an interesting listen as it's like a cross between the upliting sound of the original and Shah's own Sunlounger work.
Nitrous Oxide, you genius! He makes "Beautiful Together" even more beautiful and together with this awesome bundle of remixes, it's a great update on the original and almost surpasses even the legendary Signum remix.
Hmm, the last one I'm not so keen on. It seems like it would fit Part 2 better than this CD with it's more minimal and progressive electro sound. In my opinion, this is quite a disappointing effort from Signalrunners, but it does show that they have a lot of variety in what they can produce. I suppose in a way, this track is a teaser for what Part 2 offers.
Anjunabeats 100 Part 1 is a must-have for fans of the uplifting experience that Trance can give and the "Lital" remix present on here is highly-recommended. But if you would also like the progressive and more electro-sound of Trance, then by all means, get Part 2 aswell.
