Sunrise Supplies – home of DJ pr0fane (Iboga Records) / Multiphase

I’ve gotten a pile of promos this week, and I’m planning to get most of them reviewed during the following days. Looks like a busy weekend…

The first review is finished, and it’s of the new compilation “G-Spot” (fnaaaar) from the Israeli progressive label Domo records. A teaser:

03. Natural Flow & Chromosome – Personal Visit [138 BPM]
Next up is a collaboration between Swedens Chromosome (who’s probably more well-known as part of Andromeda and Soul Surfer) and Natural Flow from Switzerland, the new progressive sideproject of Rumble Pack and Blue Vortex. Take away the 1 minute long intro with the corny sample about MDMA and you have another high quality track – Andromeda/Chromosomes touch seems most dominant, with lots of distinct, naive Andromeda-like melodies, and although it seems like I’ve heard it so many times before, it works like a charm.

This Saturday I played at a party in Bryggen, and it was fun to be back in Copenhagen again. I remember hearing Raider play some excellent tracks at the mainstage, while me and Krell had fun at the progressive stage – despite problems with the equipment. One of the cd-players, for instance, wouldn’t read half of my CD’s (all originals).

Anyways, I just finished another review today, this time of the new compilation from Germanys most famous progressive label, Plusquam. A teaser:

03. FREq – Sunglider [138 BPM]
Up next is FREq, another act currently living in Australia. After some mediocre releases, his productions are once again getting better and better, and while I prefer his slower productions around 130 BPM, “Sunglider” is one of my favourites of his faster productions. The sound is pretty much trademark-FREq, but it works so very well – overall this is a very uplifting and loveable track with very thematic sounds, that is bound to be played outdoors at the major festivals. Can’t wait for his new album.

Ah, finally weekend again. Last weekends Electrobeat.dk party in Århus turned out pretty good – Funplastica provided the best deco I’ve seen at a Danish party in years, and the music was generally very good – the party was a bit too crowded though, which had a big impact on the atmosphere.

Electrobeat.dk already announced their next party, and it’s approximately one year from now, the 7th of February 2007 – once again in Århus, but this time at the bigger venue Turbinehallen. The main act at that party will be no less than the magnificent Jaïa – definitely one of the most legendary acts when it comes to melodic psytrance, and his liveact is truly stunning. I heard him play at VooV in 2005, and it was without a doubt one of the best sets I’ve ever experienced. Mark your calendar!

In other news I am playing in Copenhagen tomorrow at Bryggen. Among others, Xerox & Illumination, Ultravoice and Genetic Spin will be playing at the main stage, while I’ll play a 2 hour progressive set at the alternative stage.

Electrobeat.dk’s highly anticipated “Winter Session” party is finally happening tomorrow evening. The venue is Århus Firma Sport, and the doors open at 23:00 – price at the door is 155DKr.
