Album Review: Various Atrists _ Boomerang (Mindcultivation)

various artists jan

<Psytrance> Boomerang is a very interesting concept, an album commemorating a New Year’s party (by MindCultivation) about to take place in South Africa. Well let me rather say an alternative electronic trance party, as there are so many psytrance parties this year. The album has an “intro” (warm up artist) and “outro” (wind down artist) Read More »

Album Review: Miza – Moon dancing (David Gresham Records)

miza

<Urban House> Moon Dancing serves up 10 super slick, smoothly mixed vocal house tracks that are deep and soulful. Produced by Nutty Nys (and Miza) and engineered by Nys too, there’s no arguing the quality of the music. Miza’s voice suits the laid back easy going, dreamy grooves overlaid liberally with jazzy Rhodes chord stabs Read More »

Album Review: DJ Fora – With Love (Fora Productions)

dj fora

<Urban House> If you’ve been reviewing dance music for as long as I have the alarm bells would start ringing when you receive an album whose DJ name and label name are the same.  It’s all too easy these days to simply decide to make a dance music album and then release it – a Read More »

Album Review: Flash Repulic – Killer Moves (Just Music)

flash republic

<Dance/Pop/Rock> “…the bitches, the parties, the drugs and the bands. The DJ’s the boozers, the thugs and the lads. The late night 3 day bender…” – Lyrics to opening track In The Name of Dance all but sums up the semi-trashy, pseudo rock image that Flash Republic have been nurturing for several years now. Killer Read More »

Album Review: Tiesto – Kaleidoscope – Remixed (Pias)

tiesto

<Trance House> Tiësto’s Kaleidoscope album did not get a good review in this magazine several months back. We all felt it was a bit lame and dated with nothing new to offer other than the same old clichéd trance chords and stabs. Not surprisingly though they have dedicated a full remix album to it to Read More »
