REVIEW: Ali Wilson & Vicky Devine - POW out on Black Hole recordings


1. Original Mix 

 After their acclaimed collaboration "Devil's Wine", Ali Wilson and Vicky Devine return for the new Black Hole release titled "POW". 

 Ali Wilson, better known as Alistair Wilson, boasts a career that began more than a decade ago. Carl Cox named him as one of his ‘Producers of 2006’ in the DJ Mag Top 100 Poll and Judge Jules featured him as his ‘Top Tip for 2008’. Since this, Ali has DJ'ed alongside heavyweights like Armin van Buuren, Tiësto, Ferry Corsten, Gareth Emery, Sander van Doorn, Judge Jules and Marco V. He has played some of the largest events across the globe such as the Sunrise Festival, Trance Energy and Judgement Sundays. His album "Phenomenon" was released towards the end of 2010, and features the dance chart topping "Pandora", which was tune of the week on ASOT 443 and became one of Armin's top 10 tracks of that same year. 

 Vicky Devine built her rep as an established producer, TV and radio presenter and promoter. Her career took her all over the world; hard work that led to an eight year residency at one of the most well known nights in Ibiza: Judgement Sundays. She also spun at superclub “BCM” on Mallorca, was part of their large events including the Radio One Weekenders and DJ’ed on a weekly basis on the main upper floor. Her singles “Forgotten Lies”, “Starfire”, “Give Me Love” and remixes gained the support of Armin Van Buuren, Tiësto, Paul Van Dyk, Gareth Emery, Sean Tyas, Simon Patterson and she played alongside Judge Jules, Ferry Corsten, Eddie Halliwell, Sander Van Doorn, Marco V and Gareth Emery. 

 Laying down the law with this massive tech trance gem, Ali Wilson and Vicky Devine push the envelope of a lengthy break on "POW". Taking his time for a true big room build up with a huge string arrangement, Ali finally unleashes a shredding synth sweep with a sharp maximal/electro feel to it - dance floor material with a capital D



Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the finest and most consistent producers is of course Ali Wilson who combines his creative impulses once again with the lovely Vicky Devine for an ultra strong power packed club slammer that seems to be one of the contenders for the most played tunes at the EDM summer festivals. POW is the cool title for this heavy club cracker that merges perfectly tech trance with euphoric elements in order to bring the ultimate euphoria and cause mass hysteria on the trancefloor. The bassline is raw and dirty, the beats are mechanical and cold and on top strong dark melodic layers that raise the tension and lead us on the long and teasing breakdown. Great synths that build relentlessly until the  beat kicks back for the hard rocking climax. Don't expect nice fluffy sweety melodic content here. The track moves on the heavy dark tech trance territory focused on the rough and raunchy dirty and greedy bassline that will do big damage. If you like the unexpected surprising side of trance drop POW and  free your dj set... and the rest will follow. Love iT!
