Dimitri Kechagias review: Finally the fruits of the Academy of Electronic Music - Class of 2013 are presented as part of the brilliant compilation with the same name. 7 fantastic new producers who make their dreams come true and service the finest beats to the world. If you enjoy Hardwell, Tiesto and W&W dj sets don't miss Vlezz with his very strong and solid Madnezz. Very powerful progressive meets electro meets dirty dutch style with heavy aggressive raw basslines, pumping beats to make you jump instantly and of course positive euphoric synths to raise the hair from your back. Functional and straight to its point will catapult the playlists. Next is Gabriel Levato & Edwan collaboration for the track Kaolo. Progressive house is the word once again with some little nice sensitive synths in the breakdown until the huge rush of energy caused by the thunderstorming synths followed by maddening and earthshaking electro drop. Third is Pecarlo with It Was All A Dream that is deep progressive house meets techno production with haunting dreamy atmosphere and cool spoken sexy female vocals. Warm and tender manage to build an interesting and highly danceable soundscape. Fourth is Adoriany feat. Nicollette with Desert. If festival house meets Swedish house style is the word that talks to your heart this production is what you are searching for. Tough build up towards the first intro breakdown that Nicollette shine with her emotional soulful vocal and easily crawl under your skin. Its sing a long to the maximum with crossover potential. Beautiful and simply infectious production that can become the next hit with Disfunktion remix for example. Fifth is Aaron Marz with his "martian" epic prog house slammer Dancing In The Sky. Pumping beats, emotional piano chords and irresistable groove to take us all the way to the breakdown that positive feel good synths come to the surface along with claps followed by trancy synths that burst your energy and prepare the crowd nicely for the hands up in the air climax. Effective with sure impact on any mainstage set. Sixth is Ryan Signett with his track Unity. Great uplifting trance track with heavy driving energetic basslines, tough hard metallic beats and superb breakdown that reveals the massive classical music orchestral theme that will please djs like Armin van Buuren. Straight to the point pure melodic uplifting banger if you are not afraid 138 BPM. He sounds ready for ASOT or FSOE release in the near future. Last but not least Ramon Vincent with his melodic dreamy balearic progressive trancer Without Tomorrow. Very sensitive, sweet and sincere production with cool melodic elements upon electro infused basslines and pumping techy beats of course. Its overall a very promising compilation to help those producers to get the right exposure and find their future destiny. Congratulations to all the parties involved that manage to make the dream come true to those young and hopeful producers. Love iT
