 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The upcoming Ukrainian talent Serge Landar provides on Progline records a magnificent slice of deep melodic haunting progressive sounds that will please your ears. It's the kind of track that easily deep trance and deep prog house jocks will play and have great reactions on the floor. Minimal construction that slowly builds up to a melodic climax that will definitely cast a spell on you. Hypnotic moody cold but still with much energy Through The Time is a sonic adventure that showcases the abilities of Serge to get incredible results on the floor. Love it[/content]

 [item value="10"]Christian Monique - Dark Oasis[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Dark Oasis by Christian Monique is a magnificent deep progressive production that has already many positive comments on soundcloud and it seems that a new big talent is born. If you like the Gai Barone style with deep haunting sound textures  Christian from Italy as well delivers his superb take on this genre with moody basslines, haunting dark synths and incredible  cinematic atmosphere that invite you to go deeper and explore the sound layers that so beautifully have been arranged together to create one of the perfect tunes for any good warm up set. #PureGold Love It[/content]

 [item value="10"]Robert Gitelman & Rafael Osmo - Marines[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Marines is the excellent collaboration of the awesome trance legend Robert Gitelman who has many well known trance anthems under his belt and the always inventive producer and dj Rafael Osmo. If you like your trance energetic, dynamic and powerful to the maximum this track will make your days and nights. Banging drums, pulsating basslines, emotional melodies and fantastic long breakdown with orchestral classical music infused synthy hooks and big epic strings that support the track to grow and explode out of any proportion when the beat strikes back and all the uplifting synthy layers are in perfect harmony to deliver euphoria and  endless pleasure. Magical dreamy production with melancholy and euphoria in the perfect bittersweet package. #PureGold Love It[/content]

 [item value="10"]Rafael Osmo - Insert Before Use[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Rafael Osmo is one of the most gifted producers of his generation with many productions under his belt in wide variety of styles. His track Insert Before Use comes on Progline and is a massive warm deep progressive track that moves within and out of the constraints and boundaries of trance and house with rolling deep basslines, mysterious atmosphere and tribalesque grooves supported on top by cinematic haunting moody strings and voices that add certain spirituality and depth to the whole track. This is progressive at its best! #PureGold Love It[/content]

Mr. Raf's Progline label is back with their second release, this time Taglo lays down the melodies & Sterbai provides the remix.

Taglos original is a beautiful blend of cool chords, lush soundscapes and big throbbing bass. While Sterbai gives us a chunkier tribal take on things with rolling drums, shapr percs,fx'd spoken vocals & driving synthetic tones.. lovely!











Dimitri Kechagias review: If you search for the next big thing in the progressive scene you just found it. On Progline the superb Taglo brings something magical. His great track Sleepwalking is all about the melody. It moves in and out of the progressive house and progressive trance genre in order to bring something tasty and so unique. The programming of the synths is magnificent along with all the nice cinematic atmospheres that create the mysterious spiritual sacred atmosphere. The rhythm is amazing and it is pretty hard to stand still as you feel obliged to start dancing. Airy dreamy spacey and absolutely stand out production. Particularly his climax is much more energetic and full on melodic. Very different from anything else that I recently checked out. The top notch Sterbai aka Alan Nimmo from UK service his magnificent deep tech house translation that is much more groovy and sparkling and focus more on the nice danceable rhythm by downplaying the melodic side and even adding cool male spoken vocal samples that simply work like a treat in it. It has the balearic atmosphere to it so I can imagine many djs who will play that tech house meets club sound to support this BOMB. Wicked stuff! Love iT
