REVIEW: Simon Bostock - Do You Know / This Time out on Monster Force


Buckle up for an exhilarating ride in the Delorean as we present the first awe inspiring release on Monster from London DJ / Producer, Simon Bostock. After locking himself away in the studio and honing his technique for a sustained period of time, Simon is now ready to unleash some of his most beautiful, yet nostalgic trance melodies to date!

Like a hot knife through butter lead track ‘Do You Know’ carves a gaping hole through the mountain of generic trance and firmly sits at the summit loud and proud! Vintage in its approach the track centres on a very special hair raising vocal hook backed by a heavenly melody and immaculate, robust bottom end!

As we used to say, “on the flip side” is another beauty, ‘This Time’ delves even deeper into yesteryear and resurrects a memorable sound from the late nineties / early noughties with an epic pluck melody and a hypnotic main hook, which undeniably rounds off this package in truly sophisticated style.

Back to the future trance!





Dimitri Kechagias review: Monster Force, the glorious record label is back with Simon Bostock and his double single Do You Know / This Time. The beloved producer and label owner of Borderline Music presents two exceptional productions that move in the past, present and future of trance in great style and with great ease. Do You Know is a modern confident uplifting trance with psy trance touches, acid trance elements, pounding bassline that crack your stereo and atmospherics to fly you up and away. The breakdown is truly earth raising moment with luscious melodies and magnificent well known vocal sample that references classic tracks from the glorious past of Perfecto records and Paul Oakenfold legacy. The climax is full on euphoric trance as we loved it to be with floating melodies, high-nrg synths and vocal samples while the hypnotic acid layer is present to open new possibilities for your mind. Classic prime time trance that doesn't afraid to mix and match elements and influences in order to bring the new. This Time is the 2nd exceptional production with fantastic tough drums, energetic basslines and techy groove that has great depth to it. The hints of the main melody are coming and going until we reach the breakdown that is long, emotional and euphoric with heavenly female voices and high class original synthy riffs that raise the tension to the maximum and lead the track to its colourful and highly floating and flowing climax that you wish to last for hours. This is what I call Monster Trance Tunes! #PureGold Love It
