Zany & Retrospect - Reality [Fusion]
Mr Inzanity himself Zany teams up with Retrospect to bring one hell of a track. The track entitled 'Reality' combines blistering kicks and a distorted screech that just screams older Fusion but with a modern twist.
The mid intro is absolutle brutal with a big distorted kick and nice dark piano plucks and screaming screeches. The vocal is really menacing and compliments the dark breakdown perfectly. These are the type of sounds that made me fall in love with this label and the darkness it brings is just glorious to these devilish ears. This is definitely what I want to hear from this label and these two need to team up more often.
What a tune keep it up!!!

TOP TUNE //
Mind Dimension - Once Again [Spoontech]
Mind Dimension bring some unadulterated chaos to the Spoontech label with this big raw track.
The track starts off with a big barrage of breakbeats and a deep dark reese that is absolutely massive. Add to this some big distorted snares and menacing pluck sounds and you have this monster of a track.
The breakdown starts with some great dark atmosphere and the recognisable vocal from the ever popular track by Lock n Load. This is used to great effect building up to an ear ripping climax with big gated kicks and some earth shattering screaming screeches that just take this track to a whole new level.

RECOMMENDED
DJ Thera - Strength To Justify [Theracords]
The main man behind Theracords DJ Thera is back with his track Strength To Justify. This track is definitely music straight from the heart and my god what a tune. It starts with a nice snare and distorted stabs which bring in a great gated kick. The breakdown is what makes this tune so special is the big portemento lead continuing with a massive saw lead melody which will give you goosebumps and you can't help but put your hands in the air. Then just when you think it can't get any better a second break kicks in and builds to an even better climax with an even bigger gated kick.This is why it is my recommended tune and it deserves to be! Well done and more like this please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAj-cJTHhsg
J Rogers - Seductive [Hyper Reality]
The Netherlands Hard Trance label does it again with this stomper of a track. Jordan Rogers joins the Hyper Reality family with the new
track called 'Seductive'. It is a lot harder than what is usually on the label which makes for a nice change. The track itself is very hypnotic, with some gritty synth work and nice distorted kicks and a great vocal. On remix duties we have Anima, Dizmaster and Rainer K who give their own bit of spice to the track. The Anima Remix goes for a more Acid tip which compliments the original really nicely and blends in some nice synths in the breakdown. Next up is the Dizmaster Remix who needs no introduction, the lead work on this is absolutely amazing building up with some really great acid. Last but by no means least is the Rainer K remix which goes for a more early Hard Trance style with some really nice kicks and breakbeat action. It's a tough choice but just for the hypnotic feel and the dirty synths the Original just tops it for me.

Eddy Taylor meets Cochame - Zodiac [De:Fuzed Digital]
The man behind the succesful event Reversion Eddy Taylor teams up with Cochame to bring some Tech Dance mayhem to the De:Fuzed label. The track is filled with a pounding kick, great rides and great percussion. The breakdown is really nice with a a really nice effected vocal and big acid stabs. This then drops into a barrage of rolling kicks that really compliment the acid and then adding some driving percussion which just fill this track with so much drive. It has great fuse of Hard Dance and Techno elements that has some great energy and drive. However I feel the track is a bit dry in places which could have been improved.
