REVIEW: Nubreed EP incl Programmer & Jean Clemence and Claus Backslash on AVA recordings


1. Programmer & Jean Clemence - Gateway (Original Mix)
2. Claus Backslash - Inception Phase (Original Mix)

For AVA’s 97th release, we’re taking a look at some promising new talent with the first of many NuBreed EP’s to come. Making their debut and kicking the EP off is “Gateway” by Programmer & Jean Clemence. An energetic rollercoaster, the two craft a solid romper of a track. Jagged basslines and square leads litter the soundscape building towards a beautiful orchestral breakdown. Moody, cinematic and haunting, is what we would describe that breakdown before a memorable lead breaks the calm for a climax fitting to any peak time set. For the second track of the EP, we introduce Claus Backslash to AVA with his track Inception Phase. Another tech influenced energetic beast, Claus fills the sonic palette with big lead stabs and acids before a massive square lead main melody pierces through for a full throttle finish! It’s a pleasure to support some amazing new talent and both tracks prove that the future is bright in our scene! 



Dimitri Kechagias review: AVA recordings is always about high quality from established artists and new talents that are always getting their fair portion of exposure. The brand new AVA release focuses on new talents and give them their chance to shine with 2 superb productions. First of all are Programmer & Jean Clemence who combine their forces for the stunning Gateway. If you are fan of Armin van Buuren's big room sound as this is performed usually in his mainstage appearances you will adore Gateway. Full on prime time mainstage trancer with fat bouncy banging aggressive basslines, chunky overweight drums and excellent atmosphere that is manifested even better in the breakdown that classical orchestral theme comes in to add that epic high class edge to the proceedings. The climax is extra hard so better get prepared to let yourself go and enjoy the explosion that happens inside you. Don't be afraid to express it as long as you feel it happening and burns you from head to toe. Festival crowds love this type of trance so press play and watch the world come upside down. Next on this well put together EP is Claus Backslash who moves on the same mainstage festival friendly trance sound with Inception Phase. He starts in old school direction with old style kicks and basslines but in the breakdown is transformed into the swan we all waiting for. The break starts truly cinematic with atmosphere that permeates your soul supported by epic synths and high class strings. The main rave style synthy lead comes to the surface to drive the track to its epic mainstage action along with heavenly voices and classic music influences. Vitality, originality and great arrangement that any dancefloor will enjoy! #PureGold Love iT
