Along with Alex Smoke, Marco Bernardi was one of Soma’s more astute recent signings.

The Glaswegian producer has two separate electro identities – he puts out grainy, visceral bass bumpers under his own name for Frustrated Funk and DUB, and then there’s Octogen, an outlet for his deeper, more reflective work.

Classic tune… 2008 version

Latest release from the Flying Dutchman.

Dutchman Richard Durand seems to be man of the moment for tech trance fans.

Fresh from the success of remixing Tiesto ‘Break My Fall’ and the huge hype around various other reworks such as Prodigy ‘Smack My Bitch Up’ comes this new solo effort on Terminal-4.
On ‘Sweep & Repeat’, Richard Durand gets back to basics to deliver an underground club cut that shakes, rattles and rolls its way to the same levels of dancefloor devastation as his big name remixes, but without a familiar sample in sight.

Fred Baker is back with his first release on PIAS Recordings announcing his debut album ‘Never Forget /

Hollywood Fairytales’ planned for March 2008.
“Sunshine” is leading this EP with an epic trance track blended with a piano melody not unknown to Robert Miles’ fans. Starting with a solid tech-trance rhythm featuring a high tone and a slowly rising synth melody, it leads to an uplifting break where the piano starts. Then comes the climax…again and again !

Randy Katana’s monster of a mix.
Randy Katana is known for his mix of tribal beats and bit of trance. This style brings an off-the-wall sound that really brings the energy.

Spirit of the Drums is the first mix album to feature some of Katana’s original work and remixes.

Mike Koglin and Mark Pledger’s ‘All the Way’ gets remixed and remixed good.
Anjunabeats rarely seems to disappoint and All the Way does not fall short of that.

The Nick Larson remix is a much more upbeat, tech trance track than the original.
