REVIEW: Various Artists - Anjunabeats Volume 10 Sampler pt. 1 out on Anjunabeats

1-Ronski Speed - Sanity(Dub)
2-Oliver Smith - Pressure
3-Bart Claessen & Raz Nitzan pres. Who.Is - Only Totally


To coincide with the release of Above & Beyond's landmark 10th mix compilation, the first "Anjunabeats Volume 10 Sampler" offers three full length cuts from a myriad of seasoned legends who feature on the forthcoming album.

Having featured heavily in Above & Beyond's DJ sets over the year, Ronski Speed makes a debut full appearance on the label with the oceans deep trance of "Sanity Dub". Having debuted in Above & Beyond's Group Therapy 001 set, this exclusive "Anjunabeats Volume 10" instrumental mix is a charismatic outing full of emotive textures and colourful sounds.

Holding the distinction of having featured on every edition of the "Anjunabeats Volume" series, Oliver Smith returns in emphatic style with "Pressure". Despite its clubbier groove, Smith loses none of his trademark melodic appeal; a beautiful lead washing into an impactful double drop.

Completing the package is the welcome return for Dutchmen Raz Nitzan and Bart Claessen under their Who.Is guise. Responsible for classic Anjunabeats affairs "We.Are" and "Cryptanalysis", "Only Totally" is full of the duo's eccentric, offbeat sound with swirling dark melodies and an absorbing breakdown. 




Dimitri Kechagias review:  The anticipation is building up and every Anjunabeats fan worldwide is waiting the date that Anjunabeats Vol.10 will be released. Until that magic day Anjunabeats is offering some small but satisfactory bytes of enjoyment from within the compilation. The first dj friendly sampler with tracks from the compilation  includes 3 top notch productions by top producers. First of all is the superstar Ronski Speed who delivers a brand new and very exclusive dub mix of his anthem Sanity and I can tell you that the track sounds fresh, refreshed and ready for the next chapter of its big success. Energetic progressive trance beauty with electro kissed  basslines, luscious blissful melodies, euphoric synths and most importantly the main music theme that puts a wide smile in your face. Epic proglifting trance to keep clubbers happy diving in the sky upon their little pink fluffy cloud. One of the best Anjunabeats producers is included as well. Oliver Smith takes part with his energetic and highly danceable Pressure. Solid electro infused beats and basslines build the chunky groove to lead us on the breakdown that Oliver Smith unleash his pleasurable epic melodic theme that drive the track towards its epic euphoric climax that will recall certainly classic Anjunabeats tracks from the glorious past. On the second breakdown melancholic piano sets the tone but the euphoric synths comes back like the rainbow comes after the rain to remind us that after the sad days there are always happy ones. Bart Claessen & Raz Nitzan work together once again as  Who.Is  for their top tune Only Totally. You can expect full on driving dark progressive trancer with tribal techy beats, deep haunting basslines and  strong melodic themes that certainly are different and make you think for a while. Great composition that targers clubs and open air festivals. With the addition of this sampler I'm sure that you feel even more hungry for Anjunabeats vol.10. Love iT!
