Opinion:


Until the release day I was not aware of this new release of Germany`s Physical Music, so when I first saw it I was just shocked. Why? Because one of my favorite artists, Sis, that I had the pleasure of hearing his live sets in the club, is remixing 8 hits of one of my favorite labels (excellent combination :D). And when legendary names like M.A.N.D.Y., Lopazz and Audiofly are involved, it`s time to turn on your system, hit play and enjoy.

Opinion:


I can barely wait for the 50th release by German label 8Bit, and that`s because it`s on my top list when searching for good tech and deep house. But until the party there are 3 more EPs to go, one of which is signed by newcomer Bunte Bummler.

How does Above & Beyond`s Group Therapy - Collector`s Book look like

Quite a few months back I ordered my Group Therapy - Limited Edition Collector`s Book, the breathtaking new album from the UK`s Above & Beyond. The review of the album that I received in an mp3 format you can find here. After waiting a long time, finally the album was printed and shipped, and I want to answer for others a question that was bugging me so long. How does it look like?

[digital] Arty - Kate

Artist(s): Arty
Name: Kate
Genre: trance, progressive-house
Label: Anjunabeats
Catalog: ANJ212
No. of tracks: 2
Type: normal

Tracklist:
01. Kate (Original Mix)
02. Kate (Radio Edit)

Opinion:

Anjunabeats gets a new track, in the form of a 2-song EP. Sadly, no remix is available, only a radio mix thrown there just to fill the spot (who listens to radio mixes anyway). But beyond this obvious disatvantage hides such a beautiful song.
