REVIEW: J-Soul - Glace EP out on Black Hole recordings

1. Glace 
2. Placed In The Dark 

 J-Soul, better known as Andrey Zhavoronkov, is a young DJ/producer from Russia who was signed to Moonbeam's own label Moonbeam Digital in 2010. His early singles, from which the first one was released in 2008, initially appeared on Anjuna Beats, Freestyle and Akustika. During that time Andrey delivered an impressive list of remixes for others and joined forces with Blackfeel White on "Indi Space" and with Re-Zone on "Shizzy Disko". For this brand new "Glace EP", J-Soul entered the studio by himself and proudly presents the tracks "Glace" and "Placed In The Dark". 

 The "Glace EP" is a set of uncompromising progressive singles for the deeper and definitely hours-long live sets. Bringing the full soundscape of his productions sharply into focus, one can't help but race to the dance floor when the DJ puts either "Glace" or "Placed in Dark" on. Where the synth programming of "Glace" brings a cool summer breeze on top of almost acoustic sounding drums to the audience, "Placed In The Dark" indeed brings an intensely percussive, dark track that refers to the magic of producers like James Holden, Sasha and Digweed. Get yourself the "Glace EP" today and add these well structured gems to your tracklist. 



Dimitri Kechagias review: Black Hole recordings is always at the forefront of Electronic Dance Music releasing material that is forward thinking and ahead of its time. The new talent J-Soul from Russia is one of those names that soon will become big and one to watch out. His latest EP will impress all those eclectic ears who search for something more rather than immediate gratification. Glace is an interesting retro sounding progressive house track on the deeper tip with cool synthy lead that is  funky and very groovy as well. Its subtle without going over the top and very danceable. The kind of the track that teases the audience within a nice warm up set.  Placed in the Dark is a longer nearly 8 minutes journey that takes you on board for a nice journey that is deep, pleasurable, unpredictable and very danceable as well. It will recall the sound of the legendary Northern Exposure compilations. The classy synthy riff in the breakdown is very classy and will  certainly expand your mind. Of course the track remains on the dark underground sound with great percussion and solid progression of the various soundlayers. Perfect choice to use them as foundation towards the big mainstage material. Love IT!
