Location: Berlin, Germany
Profile: Born in 1981, I grew up with Synthie-Pop and Euro-Dance. After that, I was a Metal fan until the end of the 1990s. Nowadays I'm mainly loving electronic dance music but am still interested in many other styles.

The releases in my collection are most of the releases I own. Some (mostly CD-samplers and cassettes) are still missing and will be added piece by piece. To me, rating points mean:

5 - absolutely great
4 - really good, better than average
3 - average, quite okay
2 - nice try, but should have been better
1 - really bad

If a release is unrated, I haven't heard it for a long time or didn't hear it often enough. This doesn't mean the release to be bad.

I will not sell/swap any releases from my collection, so please don't ask.

The releases in my wantlist are releases I'd really like to own and that I will probably buy for a fair price. So if you want to sell one of these, please contact me. You can also offer different releases having the same tracks/mixes.
If MP3s appear in my wantlist, I'm looking for the tracks on Vinyl or CD. I won't pay for files.

John Rees vs. Helios* - Exit Aspiral - 10-Nov-06 03:39 PM
Referring to the respective JR Trance mixes, this record is very similar to its predecessor "Beta blocker". You could even think, that "Beta blocker" is the same track with an added reverb effect. If you analyze it, you find slight differences in pitch and melody.

Selu Vibra - Divine - 04-Sep-06 09:27 AM
The Original mix starts off very similar to the Armin van Buuren Dub Remix of "Janeiro" by Solid sessions, which is really a nice track, too. In the first break, a really lovely melody is introduced, before the rather hard, pumping beat returns.

Drunkenmunky - E - 03-Apr-06 01:27 AM
This Hardtrance-track uses the melody of the song "Without me" by Eminem. In this song Eminem humiliated electronic music artist Moby, calling him a "thirty-six year old boy fag". He also claimed that nobody listened to Techno.
In my opinion, to sarcastically take this for composing a Techno-track is the best reply one could give to this offense. This is just the same as Base attack did with their track "Nobody listens to techno", which features the respective line by Eminem.

Pro-Pain - Road Rage - 06-Nov-05 01:11 PM
Probably nobody who ever experienced Pro-pain playing live will ever forget. No light-shows, no decoration, no choreographies, just four guys coming on stage and rocking as hell. This CD gives a good impression of the power at such a concert. Theres nearly no talking from the band, only some short announcements of the upcoming song. Most of the times theres not even a break in between but one song is played into the next.
Everybody who ever rocked his heart out a Pro-pain show MUST have this CD, everbody else who likes aggressive, powerful guitar-based music SHOULD.

Freak, The Presents Exo (2) - Above The Clouds - 18-Oct-05 02:16 PM
The Original mix is quite okay, but the Mark Norman remix is just unbelievable. It starts with very powerful offbeat drumming before an electro-tweeting sound quietly creeps in. After the first break this builds up and then totally blows your mind after the second break. Just the record that lets you forget everything around you on big rave at 4 am.
