Profile: I'm TOMMY_BOY's kid brother. Fancy that eh? I'm 23 years old I'm into technoIDM/EBM/minimal/hard. Freeform/hardcore,drum n bass/trance n bass. I'm also into hardstyle, and a bit of hard trance. And I'm really into me progressive stuff and some breaks stuff. Pet hates are: cheesy teenage trance music, which is known more popularly as "cheesy charva or "chav" commercial trance fodder", the crazy frog, I blinking hate it so much I want to kill it. But then again who doe'snt?, well apart from the "chavs" I suppose. If you're not sure what I mean by "cheesy commercial "chav" music, then let me give a you lot little resume of what they consider as trance: Lasgo, Scooter, Flip n' fill, GRRR!!! I deteste them so much it's unbelieveble. Also mispronunciation and different sayings or phrases being put in the wrong context, so if you can notice my misinterpretations of anything... Dammit!

James Holden - Kaern Turned - 25-Jan-06 11:06 AM
This tune is amazing. It really is top notch stuff from pixie James Holden. 'Kaern Turned' starts off nicely, with nice dreamy pads and then it kicks in really nicely. It gets better when the bass comes in, and then it turns into a techno rumbler. It just builds and builds and the percussion is top. A wicked tune from Holden which shows how talented this guy is.
DJ Scot Project - O - 29-Dec-05 08:41 AM
I just absolutely love this tune. It is probably the most overplayed tune out of my entire collection of tunes. I love the way this tune switches from 4/4 to 3/4 and back and forth. I also love the gated reverb on the bassdrum, I love that sound. The percussion is nice to with it's 123 shuffle, and the 303 work is superb. The Arome mix is just sick. It's like the Original mix, only a bit twisted. This is a wicked tune by Scot Project, and I can't wait till I have this on vinyl.
Kirsty Hawkshaw - Fine Day - 25-Oct-05 08:06 AM
This is a cracking update from the original, which is a classic. Kirsty is a fantastic vocalist, who if you hear a tune which features her singing, you know it's a belter. Unfortunately, the Mike Koglin mix does'nt satisfy me really because it is a bit too cheesy, though I will let him off I suppose because 'Enjoy The Silence' is a fantastic tune. And so the "Boy wonder of trance" James Holden does it again with nice deep beats, rumbling bass lines and some great vocal work. This is a top remix By Holden which puts him up there with his remix of 'Janeiro' which is another corker, and of course his own produce in the form of 'First Light' and 'Horizons'...
Mauro Picotto - Rush Hour - 16-Sep-05 08:43 AM
I used to hate when magazines and dance music 'know it all's refer Mauro Picotto as a hard house dj. When has Mauro ever been a hard house dj? honestly, he used to play Afro-house and Dream house yes, but never hard house. Anyway on to the CD. What a stomping mix this is, yes nearly all the tunes on it are by him or signed to BXR, but still a wicked selection of stomping techno and a little smidge of tech-trance. From the 3am and 5am mixes of 'Like This Like That' to 'Verdi', 'Baguette' to other stompers such as 'The Dance Of The Crazy Pill', 'Weltklang', 'Sturm Und Drang', the energy of the mix is maintained all through the cd. Not sure which one is the best tune out of the whole mix, but one of the tunes is 'Chicago' by Gabry Fasano. What a nice bit of thrashing techno. So in conclusion this is one of Mauro's finest pieces of work as well as his stomping 'The Others' album, but this is definitely a mix that will prove this guy is very talented!
Various - Music For A Harder Generation Volume 2 - 07-Sep-05 02:12 AM
I heard of Yoji a few years back when the late, great John Peel played the Nu-Skool Acid Techno remix of 'Go Mad'. And a while ago my bro TOMMY_BOY, bought one of his tune as Bionico on the 'Choci's Chewns' Label. Anyway, This is a stomping mix. CD1 kicks off the proceedings very well with 'History' by PSR Dream Team. Orion's Voice 'The Next Life' is a cracking tech-trancer, with nice solid beats. Technoboy's 'Tales From A Vinyl' is a corking tune, with nice techy beats and cool scratching type noises. On from Technoboy, the CD gets harder and harder. 'Tekknopumping is a thumper, and I love the transition into DJ Machine's 'I Wanna Rock'. Which is another banger. 'System' is typical Pedro Del Mar, 'Muzak' by Score Age kind of reminds me of 'Amphetamine'. Dunno why but it does. 'Take On Me' is one of the best tunes on this CD as well as 'Muzak'. CD2 is simply banging right from the start, starting off with 'Blackout by Lithium and then to the hard trance epic of Yoji's 'Never End'. His mix of 'Hands Up' is thrashing techno, and the techno edge continues with Silicon works, Diablo & Klitzing and Tom Wax's storming remix of 'Bloodangels'. After that, agin it gets harder and harder with Overdog, Piero Zeta & Manuel Es 'Warfare', which is a stomping piece of hardstyle. Then you have Global Cee Trance Generators with Yoji on the remix, and the at the end it winds down nicely with DJ Scot Project's 'Rock'. Yoji does make some cracking tunes and is a top remixer, and this CD just proves how talented this guy is!
