Sunlight Original, with an almost Latin bassline and some sharp snare's, your pretty close to a tech house feel. The contrast of the housey bass line and the progressive leads work pretty well. One major breakdown in the middle changes it up a bit then its back to the groove. It's deep progressive house done well. Croma Original Mix is mellow proggy hou..

If you haven’t checked out Ready Mix Records yet, then this might be a nice opportunity with T.C. Maniak’s "Nudity & Phlegm." The Original mix begins melodically, offering something in the lighter end of progressive. Carefully constructed, the production glides in sounds and strings in subtle ways, filtered elements sweep up and down backed by a crisp a..

The Original Mix is a driving builder that has a trancy kick, crunchy effects on the percussion and a gritty tribal type synth that takes over as the melody progresses in the track. The stompy bassline gives it some pretty good energy, while the simple pads and FX drenched synth stabs pile on top of one another and end up with a nice peak. Good mid range synth prog. I..
