Aeron Aether "Aeristhesia" on Morphosis Records. Starting with the original mix this is straight in with real clout, by the time it starts to break down you are left waiting for the kick back in, with this no disappointment when it comes back. The bass has real low drive to it and it sit on a..

Previously racing striaght to the top of the progressive house chart is Red Sessions release Jan Peters "Eurospace" This cheerful tune has a real European flavour to it. The original comes with a melodic bagdrop, frankly a little more handbag then hard on this mix. The whole production here..

Godfrey’s Bottles single is Stainless Digital's latest and seventh release. Aside from a few prog elements, it's not very progressive, a lot of different sounds all going on in various lengths of repetition, I think all these elements (strings, buzzers, whoots) would be much more effective spaced..

It seems like a lot of minimal or tech house that comes across my desk here is just kind of repetitive dj tool type tracks, which are useful in their own way but the Skyline EP has three really great songs, skillfully written with excellent structure, progression, and uniqueness of sound. Dirty..

Original Mix: Proton is always on point in my book. The bassline is smooth with a key change that keeps the groove deep and moody. A borderline creepy synth swims in and out filling in the mid range reminds me of an old Bedrock track Evol D "insect". Some higher range pads fill in the gaps and..

Overall this release doesn't seem very much like true minimal, the Morning After Ep is more like tech house without much going on. The difference is in the lack of unique sounds and patterns which is what minimal is all about. Now that is not to say this isn't worth a listen. Dubai Nights has a..

I'd like to start out by saying I haven't heard the originals of any of these tunes so I'm just reviewing this based on the quality of the remixes without comparing them to their original counter parts. 6 tunes to review a gain for a single release once again so hang in there. The first tune up is..

Love the release info, "Minimal stuff with various remixes". No bull shitting here that's for sure! They just tell it as it is and don't try to blow smoke up your ass and you have to respect that approach I think. The first tune is actually really good I'd say. Stendek - Intch has a lot going for..

It's not that I don't appreciate this type of track, I'm quite a fan of the tech house genre and like the way it takes it's influence from the classic Chicago House sound but 'The Hive EP' is sadly un-original.
