Review: Repressed....Very reminiscent to an atmospheric Coldplay piece, expect this release to pop it's head in all great sets during summer. Including Nick Holden mixes. After his success with 'Outhouse', which was a very big record for Benelux, we are pleased to present this worthily follow up!
Review: "Muranyi", out on Eric Prydz's Pryda label, has been the biggest track in Eric's sets for some time, with massive reactions coming from crowds all across Europe. It doesn't stop with Eric however as Sasha, Digweed and Carl Cox are all over it in a big way. It starts with Eric's trademark slamming drum groove and driving bassline before dropping into the awe inspiring melancholic melody line which then mutates and builds at the second break into a monster synth riff that drops with devastating effect.
Review: Hailed by James Holden as one of the best producers of the last 5 years, Petter returns to the Border Community camp with another essential release. Keeping in uniform with his last release on Border Community, Petter provides another diverse collection of very cool tracks. The main track "Some Polyphony" finds its home on the dancefloor and in every major DJs box. The other side is a blend of jacking rhythms, quirky sounds and lush pads. Border Community just goes from strength to strength, with a worldwide fan base that is ever increasing.
Review: James Holden needs no introduction, without doubt he is now classed as one of the worlds top producers. His top selling singles "One For You", "Nothing" and the debut release on his own imprint Border Community "A Break In The Clouds", are without doubt some of the standout tracks of the past 4 years. Extrawelt may not be a name already familiar from your teutonic techno collection, but hopefully they'll be taking their place there very soon. For the debut release of new side project Extrawelt, the duo have turned in a pair of melancholy gems which fit in perfectly with the Border Community ethos. The understated epic 'Soopertrack' furthers our minimal trance manifesto set forth in Holden's 'The Sky Was Pink' remix, slowly building to a peak of a subtlety which few producers possess the restraint to achieve. Standing in a complementary symbiotic union is the made-for-soundtrack ambient two step of 'Zu Fuss', throwing down the gauntlet to courageous DJs everywhere to fit this must-be-heard unclassifiable beauty into sets from downtempo through electro to breaks. All this, plus another pair of those tools you all love, and release number eight is in the bag.
Review: Over the past few years Jake Fairley has become recognized as a key force in the growing Canadian electronic music scene. In September 2004 Jake Fairley released his first full-length release in over two years. "Touch Not The Cat" brings together and draws from every project and release from Jake's entire career and takes his music to the next level. Many different ideas and sounds are brought together for the first time to create an album that is extremely catchy, danceable and unmistakably Jake. His trademark straight and dirty beats are pitted against the shuffle riffery of T Rex, the tense monotone of Lou Reid and the distorted pop of The Misfits.
Review: Since 2004, Eric Prydz has used the alternative Pryda alias to showcase his occasional journeys into the worlds of late '90s style progressive house, and early German trance. "Choo", the title track from his latest three-track Pryda missive, sounds like a mid-90s Paul Van Dyk production, mixed with the melodic complexity of BT's expansive, late '90s "epic house" tracks. Elsewhere, "The Future" is a deeper and woozier affair, albeit one driven forwards by a solid, big room rhythm, while "The End Is Just The Beginning" laces fluttering, melodic arpeggio lines and dreamy chords over a loose-but-solid rhythm track. It, too, sounds like a blast from the past, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.
Review: New Leeds based duo, Audio Jack have been causing quite a stir since their track "Robot" first appeared, and after doing damage at Miami 2006. With only a few copies given out, it has fast become a stalwart of the sets of some of the worlds biggest DJs. These include Lee Burridge, James Zabiela, Nic Fanciulli, Ivan Smagghe, Craig Richards, Fergie (plays on Radio 1), Umek, and Paul Woolford who has been quoted as saying "Love it, very erotic!"
Review: "Not Exactly", by Deadmau5", is an epic monster with intense grooves and soaring synths. "We Fail", on the flip, is a warm, stripped back minimal groover, perfect for today's cooler floors.
