Mara – Coming Down (Stripped to Phunk dub)

Rupert — Mon, 19 May 2008 10:56:05 +0000

Here’s one heck of a bad vibes song for any chemical comedown. The aptly named Coming Down lurches and overwhelms with hypnotic vocal snippets reiterating the title of this track. I give it mad props. It’s evil!

Dalminjo – There Is A Light That Never Goes Out (Cloud Remix)

Rupert — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 23:08:38 +0000

Continuing the fine tradition of female vocals and prog house beats covering lesser-known classic songs, this is an excellent cover of the Smiths’ There Is A Light That Never Goes Out.
Cheerful Scandinavian vocals by Anja deliver some very dark lyrics…

Raw, nasty and cold, this track rocks me every time. An excellent set opener for a dark progressive journey.

David Alexander – Primal Innuendo 3

Rupert — Tue, 21 Nov 2006 10:24:54 +0000

David Alexander rocked me when this mix was played on Proton Radio several years ago. I saved the stream but only managed to get the last 45 minutes or so of this golden set. So I emailed David, and he hooked me up with this mix in its entirety, and now I’m passing it on to you. This is a very tribal and proggy house set, fierce and nasty, especially towards the end. Virtually all these tracks can be bought and heard on beatport.com, so if you want specific tracks, that where I’d get them.

I hope you love this set as much as I did!

Tracklist: (these are only the releases, not the specific mixes!)

cuba computers – haunting me ( shinichi )
danny sullivan & kemist – snake charmer ( hooj )
pro cut – feel so right ( plastic fantastic )
undisputed truth vs. rebel funk – begin ( creative )
superchumbo – irresistible ( loaded )
rock – resistance ( inversus )
piliavin & zimbardo – voodoo juice ( sondos )
macaluso – lights down ( en-soul )
carlos dall’anese & viktor mora – tribal adventures ( b side )
filterheadz – the one who got caught ( pitch black )
darko – phased ( mechanism )
thomas penton – dirty sanchez ( pure )
dj nukem vs. chab – wanted ( cyber )
marcelo castelli – better days ( low pressings )
jade – the assassin ( method )

Druggy housy tracks.

Rupert — Mon, 21 Aug 2006 08:31:25 +0000

Alright, after a long hiatus, it�s time for some freaky house tracks.

Blue Insect by El Farouki is an excellent track; distinct, punctuating, popping percussive quirky beats over top a fuzzy, ultraviolet, buzzing bassline that has a slight, bendy drugginess to it.

Unlike the previous track�s subtle drugginess, this next monster whacks you upside the head with its freaky intensity. Undisputed Truth�s remix of Procut�s Feel So Right is awesome. I first heard it on protonradio.com in an outrageously fresh mix by David Alexander, Primal Innuendo 3 (to be posted here soon). A gargantuan bassline storms in, layers upon layers of intense druggy goodness fill in the track and desperate, creepy lyrics surface. I freakin� love this track, which I�ve been listening to for years. Five stars; flawless execution. Well done, Undisputed Truth! This track’s a monster, and a must-have.

Moving into the absurdly druggy, another favorite track of mine is Matthew Dekay and Norman Soares�s More Money, More Power. A ridiculous, clip-cloppy bouncy beat gives the track a silly feel, then duggy waves of sound wash in, swirling and somewhat ear-piercing, and a surreal vocal sample pops in and… confounds me! Quality! Truly weird, but it works.

Markus Schulz = top notch trance

Rupert — Sat, 01 Jul 2006 10:59:52 +0000

I first heard Clear Blue in a beautiful Lemon8 proggy house/trance set found here. On a good stereo it really grabs you. It was one of my favorite tracks on that set, and I was constantly skipping back and forth to hear it. I’ve found it at Beatport, and can hear this mammoth, 12:00 progger any time. It’s kinda hard to find 2 representative minutes of a 12 minute monster.

In a more trancy and less proggy vein, I also found this beautiful cheesy trance track while I was searching for Clear Blue. Very catchy, and top notch production values. If you dig trance, you’ll dig this, cheesy lyrics and all. Mmmm… candy!

Opencloud: not bad, for a beginner!

Rupert — Tue, 27 Jun 2006 08:26:34 +0000

Opencloud is one to watch… I first heard of the duo (Blake Potter, who has a dope remix elsewhere on this site, and Corey Spengler who I’ve never heard of) when they won a remix contest on Protonradio.com and since then, Opencloud has had many fine releases, mostly on the relatively new Proton label.

These guys are prolific, having released like 16 tracks on Beatport… in 2006! And we’ve got half a year to go!

The Fallujah remix is just… raw and nasty. It has almost a Drum & Bass sensibility, and you know how I feel about D&B… This track just steamrolls in like a tank, plowing down everything in its path.
