Dimitri Kechagias review: Absolutely amazing compilation that any friend of deep melodic progressive/tech house music should be proud owner. Alex & Filip as captains they know how to take you for a ride on their boat through the waves of sounds that sometimes stay calm and relaxing and some other moments get wild and dangerous. 15 beautiful compositions that you will find for very first time on this top compilation. Short comment about each track: Deepfunk - Waiting For Them To Leave (Original mix): Ambient/Chill out track perfect to kick off the journey. Fusion F & Come T - Fallin (Original Mix): Melodic playful and summery deep prog house beauty. Liz Cirelli - Nibiru (Original Mix): Eastern vibes and rock influences on a track that can be called a 10 minutes sound painting. Summer (Brendon Collins) - Norah Sings To Crying Flowers (Original Mix): Uptempo with dark melodies and clubby feel. Dubfunk, DiSoul - Numb (Original Mix): Soulful deep melodic dish to satisfy your hunger for funky grooves with jazzy edge too.Lank - Something Is Missing (Original Mix): Superb producer with a funky swingy wonky driving progressive houser with vocal samples and atmospheres. Inkfish - Mother (Alex & Filip remix): Acid influenced deep prog house version that has a very cool flow. Fiord, The Sheperd - Distant Thunder (Original Mix): Amazing track that builds and builds until to grow really large in the breakdown and lead us on a big driving climax. Alex & Filip - Adriatico (Original Mix): Upfront progressive house anthem with a big distorted sound repeated through the track adding drama and superb cinematic melodic breakdown. Facundo Mohrr, Rodrigo Valdovinos - The Clock (Original Mix): Beat that sounds like a clock is working with distorted male spoken vocal reminding me Danny Tenaglia style. Kolog - Complete Control (Original Mix): Spacey, mysterious,inspired maybe while the producer was enjoying his favorite video game? Watch out for that very unique little riff on the break that really adds character. Echo Vacio - Ruido Loco (Original Mix): Minimal deep progressive house sounds that keep the body fluids movin well. Fractious - Evil Drone (Original Mix): chilly deep tech house track that becomes more intresting with the dark electronic melody. Tempered Djs - Electric Haze (Original Mix): Upfront techno anthem with electro basslines to get your crowd jumpin with enjoyment. Autophase - Lights Down (Original Mix): Last stop in our journey is a downtempo groovy playful track that works perfectly as the closing track of the compilation. Highly recommended CD, Love IT!
