Nice, i like underworld, definitely in their style, which is kinda "loose" in my mind(ears). It seems like the production could have been more tight and crisp, i don't dig the elements they incorporate that sound like feedback/dirty needles.

6/10.


Here's one from someone I feel is an under-appreciated electro house/breaks producer:

Rob le pitch - Break and enter (feat. Rage against the machine)

It didn't really go anywhere. It kind of sounded like the backing track to a Black Eyed Peas song. And the "woop woop" noise was really annoying. 3/10

DJ Fresh vs DJ Shadow - Closer

Pretty good. Although less commercial hip-hop influence would have made this track even better. I haven't listened to anything by DJ Shadow since The Private Press. I remember The Outside being pretty mediocre. Nowhere near the unique sounds of Endtroducing... 6/10

Shpongle - Walking backwards through the cosmic mirror
 

gnarly. well executed transitions to keep the listener interested for all 12 min. sounds pretty cohesive considering there's a lot of switch ups, which is good considering if it wasn't it would sound more like a mini-mix than one track. even tho psy isn't really my bag and near the end i think the producer tossed in what sounded like a saxophone which i thought was odd, still found it pleasing to listen to. 6.5/10

xxxy - Open Your Eyes
 

Superb track. Was just listening to this today actually on the way in to work. Love the thumping bass with the hint of an ambient Ibiza feel, and then the Amen breaks. Well executed contrasts. Prefer it to the A side (You Gotta Do You) which sounds a bit AUX 88, but poorly done.

Very LTJ Bukem. Intelligent.

My track is

Onionz, Need Ya

- for no other reason other than it's on now whilst I'm hoovering my flat :)
 
Honestly I'm not feeling that one bit. The vocals are really overly dramatic and it's just too light and fluffy to even try to pull off the cliché dubstep beat. To me it seems like he's pandering to both audiences too much and didn't make it out of artistry, but just to get people to listen

1/10

Komaton - Sweet Princess

Really digging these guys...cool vocals, groovy synths

:D
 
^yeah that track was pretty groovy and deep. the synths and melody were great. perfect track for mdma.

8/10

Man with No Name - Teleport

I didn't know Man with No Name made goa back in 1994. I really like the dark Hallucinogenesque bassline. This track would still destroy modern-day dancefloors. Old skul, at it's best. :)

9/10

I am going to bend the rules a little, but I don't typically post that much goa/psytrance anyways:

Vibrasphere - Lemon Phase

Deep intro with just the right amount of effects to create atmosphere w/out the production getting messy. The whole track was dynamic as hell and took me on a really emotional audio journer. I apprecieted how, in the beginning, it had more of a techno than trance vibe. It sounded like it could fit into a wide variety of sets; progressive, trance, techno, and maybe even tech-house. Overall, 'twas full of nice nuance and suprises with almost every bar.
7.5/10

District 78 - "Game On"
