My Highlights:

 

Disham - Dropton

Infectious drums of the organic kind with the borderline techno overtones and constant bass. A progressive feel to it has the song moving forward all the time pushing you to dance… and it’s hard not to. A groove blender reminiscent of Shaman out with his debut last year in Plusquam.

 

Kalumet - Koyote

The most interesting sample has to be the crazy hum of a Tibetan monk in mid meditation with a didgeridoo-type of distortion on top of a coyote howl. In the ground work, beats and some nice drumming action keeping the pace. It's true psychedelic juiciness. What's really interesting is the guitar, or a sitar passed through a wah-wah effect, just buzzing by the mid tone in a strangely pink floid-ish way now and again. Interesting tune to say the least.

 

The Osmotic Effect Vs. Cydata & Roberto - Pure Reality

The label residents sequencing a fine example of rich vibrant drum work like it’s been the standard in his compilation. Morning / progressive sounds pounding with a bit of fluff, but not too much too damage to the ear. You can tell there is a background in ambient production, appealing more to the progressive trance, making it good material for the genre.

 

Robert - Groovebuchse

Robert is riding a unique wave of psychedelic twisters (in the likes of Golikem with his debut Atmadelica last year), with not much concern for the present-day standards of production but, a clear techno background and deep kicks spinning like a merry-go-round swinging back and forth. The flow picking up mid song, with what you ask? This can-crunching sound added with the drinking sounds buzzing since the beginning. It seems like an epilog of the guy having a can of fizzy stuff & trashing it. But it’s some way to tell a story… you don’t hear this everyday.
