While it's unfair to say this release isn't even worth pirating (take that as you will), I don't think it shows the full potential of a W&W and Ben Gold collaboration. That's probably because individually they made some absolutely incredible tech... See full review

Perhaps it's worth noting first that there have been around a dozen re-releases of Judas Priest's first two LPs and the band have always been quick to denounce them, indeed many are unfaithful to the original artwork and have sub-standard sound... See full review

A fair few people will be aware that "Key of Life" originally surfaced in April of 2008 under the title "Balance (How Does It Feel)". It was played in the first hour of Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance special for his album "Imagine" and had quite... See full review

2008 was a year severely lacking in standout Uplifting Trance (especially compared to this year) and while it would thus seem less prestigious to call this the best Uplifter of '08, it really isn't. The original mix of "Sunshine" is a very solid... See full review

The original mix of "Eclipse" is quite an average uplifter, the real star of this release is the phenomenal remix by Mat Zo. As far as I'm concerned the guy can do no wrong, whether it's his original productions or remixes. This remix stands out not... See full review

It might be because I heard it first, but in my opinion all the other mixes of "Breathe" pale in comparison to the Dawnseekers remix on this release. The original has a nice uplifting, summery sound but ultimately it feels rather weak and the Cygnus X... See full review

This is one of the reasons I love Discogs, until I browsed around I never noticed this was the same singer responsible for the vocals on Rank 1's classics "Such Is Life" and "It's Up To You (Symsonic)". However, good as those tracks are, "Serendipity"... See full review

It's easy to see why DJs like Armin van Buuren hold High Contrast in a high regard, this is a label that has consistently released singles since 2005 without a noticeable drop in quality and its flexibility for different genres is stronger than ever.... See full review

One of the hallmarks of The Sounds' style is bringing angry punk elements into their unique mix of indie, electro, synth pop and lord knows what else. On their latest offering "Crossing The Rubicon", and with the exception of "4 Songs & A Fight", they... See full review

Benno de Goeij exercises his considerable production prowess even further on this release and teams up with Jochen to create one of the best releases of the year by far. Out of the two tracks, "9 Minutes" proved the most popular and gained a great... See full review

This is quite a bulky release that favours quantity over quality but there is some gold to be found here, namely the Aly & Fila remix of "Still Time". It's no exaggeration to say I fell in love with this track when I first heard it on ASOT 374 and its... See full review

The reason I voted this release as low as possible is not because it's bad, far from it, all the remixes are excellent and that's what makes this so frustrating. Armada must've messed up somewhere along the line because the quality of this release is... See full review

Michael Cassette is quickly becoming my favourite Progressive House act, thanks to a string of magnificent productions on the Anjunadeep label that have captured my attention, and are starting to crop up ever more regularly in my daily playlists.... See full review

As quality as the other OceanLab productions are, I'll probably always regard "Beautiful Together" as my favourite. The original mix is a masterful piece of uplifting vocal Trance, and although the peaks arrive early in its 7 minute duration, there is... See full review

A fantastic slice of vocal house right here.
The original combines a very groovy beat - perhaps best described as 'house-nearing-on-breaks', with electro touches and a rocky sound from both the guitar and Juliet's voice. Very very energetic.
