 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Jerome Isma-Ae and Tone Depth collaborate successfully once again for the classic dark progressive house sounds of  Bloodmoon. You can expect pulsating dark basslines, rolling hypnotic grooves, ethnic style vocal samples and dark moody strings adding to this very esoteric dark and distant atmosphere. With closed eyes you can sense like floating upon the sonic waves that slowly carry you away towards the long and teasing breakdown until the driving and haunting climax that simply works like a treat to keep the underground progressive tribal house sound alive and kicking. #PureGold Love It[/content]

The proven team-up strikes again! Fresh from the progressive perfection in 'Floyd', 'Fiction', 'Reflection' and so many other dashing singles, Jerome Isma-Ae & Alastor are back on JEE Productions.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]In the thin line between progressive trance and house is the music that Jerome Isma-Ae is producing and here he teams up with Alastor once again for a deeper sensual travelling melodic cut that will please ears and make your soul feel better and satisfied. The electro touched bassline along with the mechanical groove drive the track forward while on top a slightly distorted industrial synthy line is introduced along with the melancholic strings and the nice moody atmosphere. The track is perfect to escape on the dancefloor and loose yourself with closed eyes. It will free your mind and body from any inhibition and will definitely be one of the main warm up weapons for any extensive dj set. Quality that shines and fights like a Tiger! #PureGold Love It [/content]

Hot off the trail of their previous release, "Fiction," Jerome Isma-Ae and Alastor are back, this time with the latest incarnation of their newfound sound: 'Reflection'. Reminiscent of quintessential '1980s soundtracks, we are starting to see a common theme here. "Reflection" is definitive of nostalgia, its running bassline a borrow from the analogue synth engines of the voltage-control era, its running lead arp clearly retro-futuro. These two are onto something new, fresh and exciting. With each release, they are actually inviting us to be a part of something new. Perhaps a movement? Mysterious, spell-binding, dark energy.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The always on the spot for big things duo Jerome Isma-Ae and Alastor returns with Reflection. For this particular track they go for deeper haunting excursions of the mind. Energetic pulsating electro infused basslines, thumping grooves and great breakdown that slowly reveals a well known synthy theme that will give you instantly goosebumps. The beat strikes back and the climax is powerful and emotional packed with melodramatic strings, dark electro synthy washes and the well known melody running underneath while a robotic voice repeats the title Reflection. It is certainly deep progressive trance at its finest with arrangement that will trip out your mind for sure. Spacey atmosphere, haunting themes and memorable synthy themes to cast a spell on you. #PureGold Love iT[/content]

As undeniably astounding as any of Jerome Isma-Ae & Alastor's previous endeavors, 'Fiction' is the progressive masterpiece of today fuelling the sound of tomorrow.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Jerome Isma-Ae & Alastor combine their talent once again for the fantastic Fiction. The track moves in and out of progressive house and trance and contains elements of both genres with a stunning mouthwatering result. Beautiful cinematic strings upon the tribalish tech groove and the well known rolling pulsating dark haunting basslines. The breakdown is left quite empty and vulnerable in a way that make you feel even more excited for the climax that comes with the melancholic strings and summery synths on top to transfer you to another place and time. It will be adored equally by prog house and prog trance djs without doubts. #PureGold Love It [/content]

Melodically unrivaled and atmospherically astounding, 'Floyd' is what Jerome Isma-Ae and Alastor came up with when their steady stream of inspiration began to take after the Niagara Falls.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The very important and truly influential producer Jerome Isma-Ae celebrates 10 years of the release of his massive remake of QT Quartet classic Hold That Sucker Down with his Anniversary remix. His brand new and glowing sun shinning version is perfect for summer festival mainstage sets and big room clubs as well.

Giving a fresh new flavour to a past release of his, Jerome Isma-Ae brings out the 2015 version of ‘Smile When You Kill Me’ on his JEE Productions label.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Jerome Isma-Ae for me is one of the most influential artists in the electronic music scene. His productions are true classics and survive for many years after their first release. The reason is his ability to stand out from the crowd and deliver sounds that will make the crowd go wild and have a journey at the same time by being truly underground and forward thinking. In his own celebrated label JEE Productions presents his magnificent Smile When You Kill Me retouched and reshaped for 2015. The name of his podcast is also Smile When You Kill Me so we can understand that for him is very special track. His brand new version moves on his established sound that merges progressive house with trance elements. His rolling drums are techy, his basslines are deep and pulsating and the breakdown is long to allow his guitar melody to unfold but rather than bringing it at the forefront he teases his audience by keeping it in the background. The build up and drop comes naturally after an intense build up section that make you sit at the edge of your seat. The climax is hypnotic and truly tripping out so better close your eyes and let the underground vibes guide you! #PureGold Love It

Jerome Isma-Ae reaches into his record crate, dusts off this classic from Roger Shah & Sian Kosheen and gives it a new twist.

Part deep, part trance, and all groove, this remix of ‘Hide U’ is going to do some damage on the dance floor!



Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the most beloved and truly inspirational producers is Jerome Isma-Ae. His unique style and groovy sound has influenced many producers to move on the same direction and follow his path. His latest excursion is his idea to retouch the fantastic Roger Shah and Sian Kosheen anthem that even the rocks know Hide U and turn it into a dark anthemic moody but energetic high class anthem that will drive the clubbers mad to say the least. His version is dark and energetic to the maximum. Powerful drums, punchy deep pounding basslines, excellent hypnotic groove and on top the mesmerising Sian Kosheen high class vocals. The breakdown includes some hints of the original synthy hook and melodramatic melody that is not prominent and rather stays in the background appearing just enough to reconnect the track with the original version. Jerome Isma-Ae is one of the many bright shinning diamonds that this scene has at the moment! #PureGold Love iT

Jerome Isma-Ae & Strobe created the ideal sunset tune.

With an instantly catchy guitar riff and smooth textures, ‘Vila Nova’ fits perfectly into it’s new, 2014 shoes.

The beats are understated and tasteful, while the theme takes center stage.

A great update of a classic tune!

Exclusively available on Beatport: click here







Dimitri Kechagias review: The top Jerome Isma-Ae record label Jee Productions presents the magnificent anthem Villa Nova by the label owner himself and his good friend Strobe. The unforgettable classic is back perfectly remodelled and reshaped  for the needs of 2014. The track is slower, more moody and laid back than the original perfect as warm up choice in your dj set or even as final selection to leave your crowd speechless with open mouth and hands in the air. Chunky bouncy groove, deep haunting basslines and on top beautiful cinematic strings with Balearic guitar riffs and the exceptional African vocals that really elevate the track to the next level. Its one of those tracks that make you feel peaceful, kind, happy, satisfied and you can never stop dreaming when you hear it on your car after your party hard night out or at home on one of those lazy Sunday afternoons when you switch off your mobile phone and you escape for a while in the exotic soundscapes that this high class production invite us to inhabit for a while. Outstanding new version that I hope will get the recognition and appreciation from younger new members of our growing global community! #PureGold Love It

1. Refused (David Gravell Remix)
2. Refused (Dousk Remix)
Reworking a killer tune is one challenge, but to rework the mighty ‘Refused’ of Jerome Isma-Ae and Mark Sixma, is truly something else. Luckily, Jee Productions gave remix-duties to David Gravell and Dousk, leaving it in safe hands. Two remixes with a licence to kill. Young gun David Gravell, one of Armada’s recent signings, has been on fire lately. Whether the Dutch guy handles house, trance or electro, this guy waltzes it all down to big-room standards. And so he does with ‘Refused’, adding a spark of today’s EDM to the underground rocker. It’s safe to say that if you’ve been clubbing, you’ve heard one of Dousk’s brilliant productions or remixes. The Greek producer has been around for years, s erving treats on Bedrock, Baroque and Armada. His take on ‘Refused’ is a refined tech-house tune with funky, deep swings. This one lures you right in.    

     

Dimitri Kechagias review: The quality record label JEE productions stands out with its superb releases and one of them was the fantastic production Refused by the Dutch trance master Mark Sixma & the label owner Jerome Isma-Ae. The track got great feedback and was played by prog house and trance djs as well. Now it's time to get treated first class club citizens with the magnificent remix package that will raise the profile of Refused even higher. The friendly and quickly rising to the top David Gravell transforms the original into a sparkling power slamming version that will be adored, played and abused by many big room / mainstage festival djs. Rough kicks, headbanging until to make you dizzy basslines and euphoric goodness in the breakdown with heavenly style trancy voices and euphoric uplifting synthy leads. David is a young Harry Potter magician who can make anything he touches beautiful with his magic wand.  Play his version and let the dancefloor find its way to the top. The exceptional Greek producer Dousk is definitely a surprising name to commission a remix but I guess that his version is tailor made for the more deep progressive house floors. He service an exceptional deep groovy funky body jacking style version that is moody, brooding and sexy with very cool additional vocal samples as well that add to the track its whole new character. If you like your house music deep, hypnotic and serious Dousk deliver the fruits and bring some Greek summer and sun on your dancefloor. Don't Refuse to play the brand new mixes on this massive global anthem. Love IT

One of the most anticipated ID’s of the past few weeks finally reveals itself.

Jerome Isma-Ae and Mark Sixma team up for what can only be described as a killer tune.

‘Refused’, the latest Jee Productions jewel, is what the fuzz is all about.    








                             

Dimitri Kechagias review:  The exceptional progressive house label Jee Productions is the favourite for many progressive house followers worldwide cause every single release stands out and it has character and personality like the collaboration of the label head Jerome Isma-Ae with the hard working Dutch dj & producer Mark Sixma. Their track Refused combines elements of both artists in one package. The Big Room trance characteristic thunderous basslines of Mark Sixma unmistakable style and the dark and deep atmosphere you get on Jerome Isma-Ae tracks merged to bring to the clubs one of the hottest tracks around. Its driving and energetic to the core with dark sinister melodies in the breakdown that lead nicely on the rough and heavy drop that will move clubbers, festivals and mountains as well. Its the kind of track that easily can reach the number 1 at the main beatport Top 10. It deserves to get many plays this Christmas and New Years Eve parties. Love IT

1. Awaken (Original Mix)

Jee Productions, the successful label of Jerome Isma-Ae and now part of Armada Music, has come a long way since its launch in 2004 and lives up to its reputation with the release of “Awaken” featuring Novi. A collaboration between Jerome and LA-based producer Justin Michael, “Awaken” is out now on Beatport. 

“Awaken’s” dark sounds and techy, rough edges give this prog-house tune a dirty, deep push, a perfect play for the 4AM moments in the underground clubs and the prime time killer at any festival. 

German producer Jerome Isma-Ae is one of the highest selling progressive house producers in the world, known for his distinguished drum patterns and rumbling basslines. Dutch/American Justin Michael also pioneers his own sound, a version of what he calls 'Rocktronica,' and has worked with esteemed vocalists like Bruno Mars and boasts his own list of Beatport chart-toppers on various high-powered labels. Electro-pop songstress Novi rounds out the collaboration, lending her breathtaking vocals and dark undertones to the driving track.

Jerome Isma-Ae and Justin Michael's 'Awaken' feat. Novi provides an excellent kick-off to Jee Production's addition on Armada Music.    


Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the best progressive house record labels responsible for many well known smash hits joins the big family of Armada Music and it sounds very wise decision to me. Jee Productions the top record label headed by the music master Jerome Isma-Ae presents the huge dark prog house vocal anthem Awaken featuring the indie rock vocals by Novi. Once again the influential prog house wizard creates magic for the dancefloor with superb long intro dramatic section that builds the tension and the right atmosphere for what is going to come soon in the main section. The dark deep punchy basslines and pumping driving beats with its  dirty greedy textures invites you for an unconventional ride that is about to blow the speakers and get the clubbers jumping and pumping with hands in the air. Once again Jerome Isma-Ae along with Justin Michael compose a forward thinking club bomb with unconventional sounddesign that will explode with huge impact on the global dancefloors this winter. Very versatile and open to many interpretations its the perfect dark and mysterious track for progressive house or even big room trance sets. Deserves to become BIG! Love IT
