What i'm listening to....

Technikal - Techtonik

This is quite simply the best hard dance album I've heard in about 3 years. I've been bleating on about it for months now and i am still listening to it continuously.
There is something for everyone here, the album mostly focuses on hard trance styles, but just sounds so much better then conventional hard trancers, "Rescue Me" is simply brutal and uplifting.
Apart from the HT sound, there a a good chunk of groovy stuff and then a bit of harder tackle toward the end of both mixes.
For 8 quid its an absolute steal, and restores a bit of my faith in the hard dance genre. I'm hoping that Technikal is booked for the Tidy Weekender in March, i think its more than likely on the merits of this album.

Dubstep

I was listening to the Radio 1 programme on Dubstep the other night, and i quite liked the sound of some of it. So i hunted around for a mix so see if I'd been terrible misinformed. I ended up downloading a mix by someone called Excision. And i have to say, i quite like it, however after 30mins or so, it starts t get a bit boring.
Loving the huge sounds in it though. My mate Jonny told me that it was like "Transformers having a rave". Which makes it just that little bit cooler.........
If you're interested in the mix BTW, you can download it here
