REVIEW: Sound Quelle & Max Meyer - Volga / Mallet out on Monster Pure

Known for his unique production sound, prolific Russian 2.0 producer Sound Quelle returns to the Monster stable for his hatrick appearance and once again he has bought along a fellow producer for the ride. This time Max Meyer is the man in question, also hailing from the Samara region of Russia, the two have paired up in the past to rapturous results!

Lead track ‘Volga’ encompasses all that is sublime with the new school of ‘progressive’ trance. Epic minor chord stabs, fuse with tough electro bassline elements layered with vocal adlibs, creating a smoothly uplifting production.

The aptly title backup production ‘Mallet’ is another fine example of the unique mind of Sound Quelle. Big bold synth bass lines meet chunky percussion, quirky vocal FX all bound by a solid driving rhythm!

Tidy package, if we do say so ourselves.
                                                   
                                                             
Dimitri Kechagias review: When you receive brand new release from Monster Tunes you feel like the small kid that his parents give him a present wrap it up with paper from a well known shop that you know that has only expensive and shiny toys. You don't want even to open your present cause just the wrapping paper says it all. Monster Pure continues its great high class releases schedule with the top Russian duo  Sound Quelle and Max Meyer who deliver two high class  progressive neo trance anthems entitled Volga and Mallet. Firstly Volga  deserves to be considered as the A side. Its neo progressive trance with  groovy housey chunky beats, electro infused playful  sparkling basslines, vocal chops that add that ethereal atmosphere and high-nrg synth stabs that appear in the breakdown and lead the track to its hands in the air, colourful and airy climax that keep every trancer satisfied wanting and demanding more. Second top track included is Mallet that is moving on the same futuristic neo progressive trance sound that has the groove, the energy, the mesmerising melodies and the emotional touching magical moments. The difference is that the track is suitable for epic prog house djs as well. The MC style old school house vocal samples are helping on that direction considerably. It  sounds ready made for the mainstage sets on your favourite summer festivals. Love iT
