Jacco@Work & Native - Two Worlds Collide [Swordtail]
Review Date: 06-Mar-2008 /
  Jacco & Native are nothing new to the prog and tribal scene, who have each done countless remixes either on their own or as a pair. Unless you\'ve been living under a rock for the past few years, you\'ve for sure heard a track remixed or influenced by at least one of these guys. This kind of sound ..

Datensi - Epic Man [Elektrotribe records]
Review Date: 09-Feb-2008 /
  Albeit a bit older this release is well deserving of some major attention, but certainly may not be for everyone. A well crafted well produced collection of quirky original minimal techno tracks from young producer Datensi, out of Greece. Epic Man (Original) is a solid minimalistic like t..

Marcelo Carvalho - Flex EP [Bralli Records]
Review Date: 09-Feb-2008 /

Jerico - Blind [Cerulean Recordings]
Review Date: 05-Feb-2008 /
  This is a solid release from Cerulean Recordings, pushing the deep dark prog boundaries and offering up some tasty treats from Irish superstar Jerico. The Original is a dark prog stormer with entrancing beats, a classic original deep feel just the way we like it. This is the type of trac..

Dan S - Bleeding Finger [Follow Mix Records]
Review Date: 04-Feb-2008 /
  This is the second release from new label Follow Mix records, out of Marseille, France. Leading the way for many young French artists. The Original starts out as a dark progressive dance floor stormer with heavy kicks and think basslines. The electronic key shifting synth lines give this ..

Sam Fraser - The Square One EP [Proton Music]
Review Date: 01-Feb-2008 /
  This is another incredible release from Proton Music. Sam Fraser is probably quite a modest fellow, but with huge production talents that are not to be missed. This EP is quite a great find on the search for top quality modern progressive today. Sleep On It is a tech-y rolling progressiv..

Serge Blake - Hronizons [Acuna Boyz Productions]
Review Date: 01-Feb-2008 /
  Serge Blake is doing something that other new producers are afraid to do. That is to take the chance and get your stuff released.

VeNes - Sahara [Acuna Boyz Productions]
Review Date: 01-Feb-2008 /

Matias Popoff - Girl Cooperate [Ascension Records]
Review Date: 25-Jan-2008 /
  WOW what a solid remix collection of deep grooving, down to earth beats. It just makes me want to feel and groove it from the original mix. However be warned this release comes with a (very) large variety of remixes and not all winners. The original is a slow steady grooving builder, great..

DLectro - Natural Beats [Swordtail]
Review Date: 24-Jan-2008 /

Opencloud feat. Kristy Hawkshaw - Time Stand Still [Proton Music]
Review Date: 24-Jan-2008 /
  This epic release from Opencloud features Kristy Hawkshaw, a vocalist who has appeared on many classic progressive trance tunes.

Derek Howell & Peter Martin - Loteq / Sextronics EP [Proton Music]
