[B]Serdar Ors - I Miss You Michael Jackson [/B]
[U]description[/U]
Yet, while no one would have the gall to claim that the simply-titled Michael scales the dizzy heights of Off The Wall or
Thriller, it nonetheless presents itself as a unified piece of work and testament to the man’s continued energy and
inspiration. There is a danger, however, of its musical merits being overlooked because of the various unanswered
questions that surround its completion.
The first track opens with [B]Serdar Ors[/B], ‘I Miss You Michael Jackson’ and composed in the typical sentimental
format, almost sounds like the culmination of a fiercely independent and inspiring career. Skittering percussion and
gut-wrenching bass separately refer back to progressive stages of his development, conveniently assembled together in one walloping package. The sounds and textures are familiar to Serdar devotees but dialed up to an almost obscene level: the live-sounding drum samples could level [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=472"]walls[/URL], and the curiously static-wracked bass is a noxious cloud of gritty
particulate.
Also the remixer [B]Boral Kibil[/B] solidifies his versatility to adjust to different styles while making it a dance floor destroyer, adding necessary vocal sample and taking it dangerously close to the generic fare that the original looks down upon. It's a rousing, inspiring tune that beautifully blends classicism and futurism.

[B]Fyono - Orient [/B]
[U]description[/U]
The tunes are structured excellently and flow professionally. Sections build, then drop down into some other idea before
becoming overbearing, with less volume but no loss in momentum. On "Orient" [B]Fyono [/B]returns to the gritty industrial soundscape that was showcased on last year's venture for 3024.
A slowly building intro gives way to a flurry of clanging percussion, coupled with a string sample that will have the
track sitting comfortably if dropped at the right time.
[B]Liquid Sound[/B] remix however, that's the highlight growling vibes on display, while not being much more than a short
and straightforward loop, mixes superbly with the intermittent sounds and digital keys.

[B]Franzis-D - Mediterranean EP[/B]
In an era where consistent sonic trademarking often gets confused for a creative stall—where the demand for "ingenuity" often outstrips that for sheer persistence and quality—few imprints have been as diligent and attentive in defining their crystalline brand of house music.
That said, original mix, "Mediterranean," is ornamented with an unexpected yet subtle acidic bass line—the kind of welcomed attention to detail you also find on "Blue Rose," with its soft yet stabbing bassline and arpeggiated synths. This is where Franzis-D decade-long studio experience is showcased to staggering effect.
The remix of Mad Morello as a passionate melomane superfluous and tautological, but as an overall musical statement, it is superlative and visionary in the most affirmative of ways.
On the other hand the Coldberg & Repton remix made with the quality listener in mind, making this a well rounded the EP for all fans of good progressive music. The EP straight into the Progressive House style we all love – Dark, fast and filled with chunky, driving percussions, a very playable and definitely a killer tracks for all DJ sets is an ethereal trip into the realms and ambient progressive house. Featuring twisted synthwork, a groovy bassline, strong pads & techy percussions – This tracks shows the other side of this rising producers’ personality – light, groovy and full of quality.

[B]Alexander Anufriev - Word is Silver, Silence is Gold EP [/B]
Alexander Anufriev delighting the audience with music and of course handing her his mood, many years of his career, managed to play at various parties of his native city, which has gained broad experience and brought it to fruition.
The whole thing has an intensely circular progression, the swollen-bottom end contrasting with the resonant gunmetal of the slicing drum samples.
If "Absorption" almost manages to escape the enwombing inertia that so characterizes Alexander, "Word is silver, silence is gold" practically flails around whatever room is brave enough to play it, the rippling drums and voices can barely stay afloat on the turbulent layer.
It's all pale tones and dead thuds until a distracting and gleefully stretched synth knocks the track off its axis.
