Nocturnal 236: The Reviews

Purchase the song by clicking the title!

BT - Suddenly (Celldweller mix) [Black Hole Recordings]
Celldweller – the versatile outlet of the artist, performer, producer, songwriter, programmer, and remixer Klayton, began as a producer pseudonym in the early 90’s. Now, over a decade later, Klayton uses the name to deliver his vision of progressively combining multiple genres of music. Taking a unique approach to mixing styles, Celldweller fuses the electronics of drum & bass and techno, with rock and orchestral elements, meshing the synthetic and the organic, darkness with beauty, into a cohesive blend entirely its own.

Moonbootica - Men Of The Future (Dirty Deal mix) [Moonbootique]
Dirty Deal Marc Deal was born and grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa, before moving to Europe, or more specifically, Germany in his youth. He has been DJing, producing and singing since 2003, amongst other things as one half of Maniax with Electroferris. Under the Maniax moniker, co-productions with Stefan Bodzin, Oliver Huntemann, D.I.M. and tobitob from Moonbootica have propelled the pair well and truly into the limelight. Meanwhile, Electroferris has also joined the ranks of Deichkind and Mr Deal is similarly an artist in his own right, making tracks and doing remixes under his own name, as well as lending his vocal talents to tracks by another dynamic duo, Moonbootica, both in the studio and on stage.

Joe T Vannelli - Life In Technocolor (J T V dub mix) [Dream Beat]
It’s impossibile not to think to Joe T. Vannelli, if you wanna think to a polyhedric and transversal dance artist.

Amidst the countless DJ's and producers working in the burgeoning Chicago house scene, Santiago and Bushido stand apart from the rest with their unique blend of tech-tinged house beats and killer remixes that are becoming quite the sought-after commodity.

Felix Da Housecat - Silver Screen (Hellfire Society remix) [News]
Hellfire Society was born in 2001, founded by the leader/singer David whose dissatisfaction with the socio-political and religious status quo of his native Italy caused in him a desire to question what he saw around him every day, and, when he found answers that he could not accept, to find a way to respond and be heard. David formed HFS to give voice to his anger and serve as a method of spreading his views to others. The reception to his project was unprecedented, with Hellfire Society's first ever live concert being attended by over 1500 paying fans. HFS's gut-wrenching guitars, carried by the force of David's powerful voice and balanced by his excruciating attention to detail and musical arrangement, incited a response from crowds that soon had them performing on national television and touring throughout Europe.

Moussa Clarke ft. Fisher - Love Key 2010 (Peter Brown Barcelona remix) [Slammin Muzik]
There are not many artists who possess the ability without fail, to provide that one special thing a good set needs to become a perfect one. Barcelona based, upcoming DJ, remixer & Producer Peter Brown definitely can do so and the world is taking notice.  Born in   France, Peter honed his musical craft as some of the several countries' most popular night spots, before he finally settled upon his current home in Spain. But his spiritual home will always be behind the decks, existing as one within his creative element. That element is house music!

OneWorld - Green Bay (original mix) [Avanti]
One World, a new alias of Sander van Dien aka First State, brings us this mesmerizing new track by the title "Green Bay". Get ready for a production that takes the combination of a four to the floor beat with 3/4 measure melody programming to a whole new level. Musical purists will notice it immediately and especially during the break, when the beats aren't present, the chords and hook seem to take off in a completely different direction until the bass drums kick in again. It's a lovely and surprising twist to the known formula of modern trance/techno productions and it really pays off in "Green Bay". Let's not forget what it's all about and that's of course the truly warm and soothing nature of the entire track, 'cause the theme of the song stays with you for hours after listening to it. The ones on the dance floor will all love the break, 'cause the sounds of nature, the strings and synths just keep rising to build a real climax. "Green Bay" is definitely one you have to check out!

Tyler Michaud, Moonbeam & Tiff Lacey - Openhearted (original mix) [Black Hole Recordings]
Inspired by a wide array of styles from melodic techno, rock, & metal, to electronica, trance, and dirty electro; Tyler's music is both well-rounded, exciting, and distinct. As a DJ, Producer, Record Label Owner, Composer, & Performer, he continues to push the boundaries of what can be done by most people in the time-frame of a week, in a single 24 hour day. It is quite clear from all the consistent noise Tyler has made this year and last that he has been hard at work refining his fresh and heavy hitting "New School" style which has offered him the position of being America's next rising-star DJ, as well as a lead player in electronic music.

Morgan Page - Strange Condition (Inpetto vocal mix) [Nettwerk]
When one of dance music's leading exponents sings your praise people should take note. In a relatively short period of time siblings Marco and Dirk Duderstadt have built a name for themselves that's propel them to the forefront of the European house movement. Yet unlike many that have sold out to commercialism or believed their own hype, the boys from Dorsten, Germany, have never strayed far from their original blueprint, and it's that level consistency that has made them a clear favorite amongst their peers, and elevated them to critical acclaim as producers, remixers and DJs.

Robbie Williams - Last Days Of Disco (Still Going remix) [Chrysalis]
Still Going arrived on the scene with the now classic "Still Going Theme" in 2007. Along with its hypnotic flipside, "On and On," the single captivated listeners with its anthemic energy and quickly became a dance floor staple. With the release of "Spaghetti Circus," Olivier "Liv" Spencer and Eric "Dunks" Duncan cement their reputation for creating compelling dance music.

Ricky Ryan - Perfecto Mundo (B.O.N.G. remix) [Aenaria Tribal]
Anyone with even a passing interest in the progressive house genre will either know of Ricky Ryan, or should make a point of getting on board pronto. Ricky's profile has grown substantially over the past two years, gaining attention being mentored by the likes of Sasha and John Digweed. It's not often that you come across a really outstanding DJ, combining oodles of talent with a livewire personality. But Ricky Ryan is just that. In fact, there's a major movement going on in Argentina, with Ricky one of the leaders. Without banging on too much, his success is exemplified with his show on Proton Radio setting a new record of 1,000 simultaneous listeners, along with rave reviews from Sander Kleinenberg, Danny Howells, and Desyn Masiello.
