Vercetti – Control (Orig) Lange

Lange has made a definite resurgence in my sets with his recent remixes of Thrillseekers "Nu Life" and his own track of the summer "Sincere". Now he returns under yet another guise bringing us his latest hybrid of trance. Crisp beats a bit of percussion and a fat techno b-line really drive things along to a great start before the synths start to filter gradually into the mix. The track progresses into the basic melody and opens up into the inevitable synth-onic breakdown for a bit of the old hands in the air before kicking in once more like a mule on speed. The bass saves the day and seems to do the business in my sets but not one for the crowd who get bored easily without some hook to latch on to. 4/5

Sandler –Theme Song (Orig) Spinnin

Sandler aka Sam Sharp has delivered countless monsters this last year with Ecraig’s – "Beat Goes On", his own track "Deep" and his remix of my own "Nocturnal Delight". It looks like his still on the up & up with this classic soul stirring piece that sounds like a theme from a movie like Blade

runner. In his usual dark euphoric style the track cruises along with

hypnotic beats and a haunting production into the most monumental and longest breakdown I’ve heard for a while. The suspense and atmosphere really holds you as it builds up with squelching synths and huge synth pads and then kicks in with a fat beat and b-line. Gets them rockin every time teasing the crowd for just about as long as you can before repeating the whole routine again. 5/5

Hiratz – Venice Dawn (Orig) SR2

Its got not a lot to do with trance cause its more like the sound of progressive fused with a real live guitars. I’ve had the opportunity to drop this when in the US at the beginning of a more proggy set and its beautifully synthetic live sound really works in the right setting. Still they do love there rock in the states so I reckon it was more at home over there than in the UK. For those who loved groups like Garbage and Sneaker pimps you should give it a listen. A lush female vocal drifts over real bass guitar and proggy beats with a distinctively indie rock feel. I really see this a part of a fresh new offshoot of dance music along with songs like Silencer’s "Drown Me" 4/5
