Profile: Don't contact me over something you want. If it's in my collection, I'm not going to part with it for anything less than far more than I deserve for it.
Don't contact me over something I want that you have. I plan to whittle that list down on my own when I have the time and money to do so.
However, DO contact me if you can ID any of my unknown tracks. They can be found at my "home page" above. You can email me @: dimitri_ebay [at] hotmail [dot] com
I've got some records for sale on GEMM right now. I'll ship outside the US, but ask me for a quote so I can figure out shipping first. ;D
Check it out here.
About me? I'm 18, like trance, house, techno, breaks, ect...etc... I also happen to live somewhere where I have to either ride two hours each way to look through bins of mediocre records or mail-order everything. While my collection may be laughable in size, I treasure nearly every item in it.
Some of my personal favorite tracks are:
Mijk's Magic Marble Box - Gamers Night
Moogwai - Viola
Kayestone - The Warning (Binary Finary Remix)
Carl Cox - Phuture 2000 (Deepsky Remix)
Durango 95 - 5:55
Sunday Club - Etana's Flight
...and too many other great tunes to list. Thank god for the internet, otherwise I'd probably still be forcing myself to listen to the radio, which is pretty dire here in Cali. ;)
Addendum: I just upgraded to advanced. Those dots rock. ;D

Nathan Fake - Drowning In A Sea Of Remixes - 15-Mar-06 06:26 AM
FortDax's remix of You Are Here has to be one of most unpretentiously happy songs I've ever heard. As far as I've experienced, it's impossible to not be cheered up by this track. It's just pure, simple happiness, and it's quickly become one of my favorite songs of all time.
The rest of the tracks are the fimiliar clicky IDM-infused house we've come to expect from Holden's always-quality label. Good stuff, but it's the FortDax track that makes this release for me.
Green Martian, The - Industry - 20-Oct-05 04:52 AM
The Durango 95 remix on here is worth tracking down for one simple reason: it is incredibly, disconcertingly bizarre. Mr. Newman sticks a saxophone, processed human beatboxing, and what sound suspiciously like steel drums over the fimiliar bassline of "Industry" and comes up with something that, while not an incredible technical achivement by any means, is approaching the stuff of nightmares. It's weird, it's freaky, and I love the hell out of it.
K90 - Colours 2001 - 07-Jun-05 11:36 PM
Ignore Colours and go straight for Hyper Intelligence -- it's one of the greatest uplifting trance tracks I've ever heard. A bit on a hard tip, but that hardly matters when it's this beautiful. I'm usually not much for this type of hyper-uplifting trance, but this tune always picks me up and gets me going again. :) Grab on sight.
Moogwai - Viola 2005 - 06-May-05 01:13 AM
When I discovered that this tune, one of my all-time favorites, had been updated with new remixes, I immediately seeked them out to see if the tune had been done justice...and it hadn't. These remixes are disgraceful. Whilst the original was an excellent melodic trancer with several understated melodies that bounce back and forth, these mixes almost entirely use only one of the melodies -- and even change it slightly, ultimately giving the track a really strange off-balance feel. It sounds like they tried to turn it into some sort of dutch epic tune, but didn't quite finish that and just threw it out as-is. Go get the original mix, instead.
Dr. Robotnik - Biokemiallinen Sodankäynti - 28-Apr-05 03:31 AM
The only unique track on this release is The Boogey Song (Decepticons Version) -- Electric Fields is the same as "Dilation of Time" on the Beginner's Guide to Rikos compilation.
That said, this is all excellent creepy-apocalyptic electro. The kind of music that raving robots would listen to -- hardly mechanical, but still very deeply electronic. Perhaps the weakest track here is "Linear Curves"...but again, they're all very good. Personal favorites are "I Hate You", "Modern Magick", and "Electric Fields". If you're into electro at all, definitely check out this or any of this man's releases. Now if only we hear a new release from him sometime... :)
