Der Dritte Raum |
Hale Bopp |
Addictive |
This is an old classic which is great trance from Germany. Nick Warren does his stuff for the remix, but the b side is the track for me. |
"Trommelmaschine" |
10/10 |
Problem Boy |
Self Contol |
SouthEast |
Great tune from this label which I liking more and more. The Olav Basoski is brill with some nice streched vocals which is nice to hear again (Not a trance track) |
"Olav Basoski " |
6.5/10 |
Apollo 440 |
Stop the Rock |
Stealth |
Not my cup of tea but the "Dance mix" of it is out of this world. Been around all summer. Only just got hold of it. Top tune! |
"Gigolo Stop the Jocks'" |
9/10 |
Spacepunks |
Another Space |
Whoop |
Lovely Electro trance from this label where you can go wrong when you buy. Everything is great on this. Whoosh and crash and boom. With a few pretty vocals !!!! |
Both !! |
8/10 |
Lost tribe |
Gamemaster |
Hooj Choons |
Great 2 tracker from Hooj. Signum is his usual style keeping it bumping, while Matt Darey and Red Jerry get together to mix a storming piece of trance with a rift sounding similar to "Dreams" . |
"Matt Darey & Red Jerry" |
8/10 |
Razing Kane |
Get Carter |

Trance, trance and more trance! |
Both are good |

Lost Witness |
Red Sun Rising |
MOS |
The "Dusk till dawn" mix sounds great to start with but then get ruined by too many "rave bird" cheezy vocals. Lange does the usual on the main side. |

"Breeder mix" |
8/10 |
Perfect Phase |
Horny Horns |
2 Play |
TOP TUNE. So banging. Its got this siren in it that takes you to the top. Hard house with a funky bassline. Enough to bring the dancefloor back into order. |
"Horny horns" |
10/10 |
Ruff Driverz |
Waiting for the sun |
Inferno |
Needs more work on it. Also has "Dreaming 99" which sounds OK to begin with and then just goes potty, the only good bit is the original guitar. |
Both |
5/10 |
