HARDSTYLE - KRM [UK]
Shifting Sands - Bangerz & Masherz [Gearbox Digital]
Zone Magazine Top Tune
Rating: 10/10
This release is my Zone Mag top tune. All the way from Melbourne, Australia, Bangerz & Masherz (Pred & Rob G) bring this amazingly crazy track to your ears. After listening to this track, only twice, I fell deeply in love with how unique it is. The Australian duo are known for delivering driving hard trance tracks filled with dark, techy, stabs and catchy riffs but, with this belter release, they decided to go all Egyptian on us! The track is carried along
nicely with a monster bassline, that they don’t let drop, till after the first breakdown. When the bass is unleashed you are kept wanting more, with the stabs, risers and riff, till the main breakdown takes your ears on a mystical journey. The track is signed to one of my favourite UK based labels, Gearbox Digital who never fails to please. I personally gave this track a good run for its money, at Goodgreef, and it went down a storm! Therefore, I can assure you this is peak time music that will leave them wanting more! https://soundcloud.com/gearbox-digital/ gbd101-bangerz-masherz-shifting-sands
Endurance - Darren Pearce [Absolution Digital] Rating: 8/10
Darren Pearce is a 26 year old, UK based, Hard Trance producer signed to Absolution Digital. Darren’s driving Hard Trance style has already caught the ears of some of the scene’s big hitters, with his last release getting a blinding review from, Hard Dance leader, Andy Whitby. If you like your Hard Trance “Hard” then you’re going to love this release. Eerie pads and killer riffs take you on a journey with a drop fit for
any Hard Dance Dj’s set. The track features a catchy, yet minimal, vocal sample that gets deep inside your head. I defiantly think the name of the track is suiting as this is sure to test any dance floor's “Endurance!" Driving bassline’s and soaring riffs power this track through for a floor shattering, seven minute massacre. Darren captures the power of Trance with a large dosage of Hardness. Be prepared to hear big things from this new UK rising star...Watch this space! https://soundcloud.com/absolutiondigital/ darren-pearce-endurance
