Having joined the Anjunadeep ranks last year via the label’s Explorations EP series, Finland’s Tontario has gone on to deliver a string of well received releases, including a stunning rework of Ólafur Arnalds’s ‘Öldurót’. Tontario now returns to the label with another set of adventurous downtempo cuts on the four track ‘From Below EP’

The EP opens with the string-laden textures of ‘Löpeld’, before drifting into the floating groove of ‘Rove’ (featuring Benjamin Gustafsson). Next ‘Vilsenhet’ serves up a heavier brooding vibe to the package before rounding off the EP on an ambient note with ‘Worriers’.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The Finish talent Tontario is on the rise with stream of classy releases. His latest EP doesn't target the clubs but rather expects to get some space in your chill out listening list and relax your senses with its cool lovable atmosphere. Superb laid back grooves, cinematic strings, floating atmosphere and an open invitation to explore its wall of sounds decorated with superb dark grooves,emotional strings and natural sound samples that always excite the imagination and make us imagine even more when we listen to all of them.  Difficult to choose favourite as all of them contemplate the other and makes this EP the perfect journey that starts with the long classical music infused intro of Löpeld and continues with the slow moving Rove (with Benjamin Gustafsson). Thirdly Vilsenhet continues with atmospheric abstract first part while the second has the tribalish laid back chunky groove. Finally Worriers  is cinematic appraisal that can act as the theme for the closing titles of a movie which is yet to be filmed. #PureGold Love It .[/content]

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Tove Lo is one of the most impressive singers and her voice sounds so great when is mixed with electronic music sounds and here the remixes are doing justice to the original and provide from deep tropical house(Seeb remix) to energetic trap version(Felix Snow remix) and the more experimental breaks/leftfield remix by Samuraii. It sounds great for Spring and perfect for electronic music to penetrate the mainstream scenes. Love it[/content]

Tritonal continue their meteoric rise after a 41 city sold out North American tour and four Billboard Dance top ten singles as well as with their innovative productions, awe-inspiring live shows, radio & TV accolades and chart-topping releases, the Texan based duo open 2016 with one of their fan’s biggest talking points from 2015, the mysterious ‘ID’ played during their Tritonia Radio 100 celebration in Las Vegas + in their live sets for the last few months. One of Chad & Dave's most anticipated releases to date - 'Blackout' with the incredible voice of Steph Jones, is finally here.

'Blackout' sees Tritonal teaming up with Steph Jones' spine-tingling vocals and assembling a perfectly balanced, flexing bass-heavy Trap influenced production, whilst remaining distinctly Tritonal with impeccable melodic turns to result in an end-product which is perfectly tuned between peak-time energy and sing-a-long euphoria.

‘Blackout’, with its ground-breaking, cross-over production confirms that there are no signs of Tritonal’s rise ever slowing down as 2016 promises to hit new highs for the duo.



Dimitri Kechagias review: Tritonal is one of the most dynamic duos out of Texas, USA that have influenced a whole generation of producers with their unique very personal sound. From the trance roots to the progressive house and the dubstep Blackout one thing remains the same and that is Tritonal ability to compose magnificently emotionally touching feel good melodies. Blackout is one of their most experimental tracks with the version that has just being released be on the leftfield ambient dubstep trap Dj Snake style. Very emotional melodies, superb basslines and wonderful flow that transcends the listener easily to a world that there is Blackout. Steph Jones performance has that pop crossover touch that can support the track to gain daytime radio play and escape the confines of the specialist radio shows. Looking forward for the festival friendly remixes. 10/10 #PureGold Love It

Imagine if you will, The Bearded Man in his natural state: jus' chillin'. He ain't doin' sh**. Not saying nothin', not *doing* nothin'... jus' chillin'. Now imagine if you can, one of the finest females in existence. Imagine a hammock, imagine a bay, and imagine the sunset. The sky looks like a planetarium, doesn't it? The colors are too vibrant to be real, aren't they? Why is the water in the bay going sideways? Why are the waves so calm? Why is the temperature so perfect? What's that I smell in the distance - is that onions? A Barbecue? Is that sexy chill trap music coming from across the bay? Feels good, doesn't it? A couple of cold drinks in hand, you can hear the ice cubes resonating as they collide with the sides of the glass. The breeze is so gentle, it can't even push a blade of grass sideways. The girl leans in. "Hold me", she says... And all is calm in Bearded Land©.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The Bearded Man is back with another surprisingly mesmerising perfect indie dance chillin track perfect for the cold winter days. Hold Me by Awae & Damned featuring the brilliant vocals by  Layna will bring positive vibes whenever and wherever is played as intro or outro early morning while the sun is rising. Hold Me has so many influences that you can recognize old school vintage synths, emotional relaxing piano chords, lazy chunky grooves and of course on top the stunning Layna vocals that have that blues jazz tone to them. It's another winning record that attract your ears and carry you away to its futuristic landscapes with or without beards. #PureGold 10/10 Love IT

Juventa returns to Enhanced, but not as you may have heard him before - with the extraordinary 'Culture Flow' EP, which sees Juventa once again pushing musical boundaries and displaying his creative scope, which is becoming ever more apparent in his recent releases.

Switching from the club rocking, trademark sound Juventa has become to be known and adored for, this 5-track EP ranging from 101 to 185 bpm provides a truly enigmatic and eccentric insight into Juventa's production prowess and raw ability, following on from last year's 'Let Night Become Day' EP.

Full of ambient, left-field and orchestral elements, 'Culture Flow' is both a diversion from the norm, but also immediately recognisable as Juventa. Featuring deep, warm bass lines, chopped up vocal samples and plenty of atmosphere FX, 'Culture Flow' is a welcome shift of pace and showcases one of the most exciting producers of the moment's boundless imagination.



Dimitri Kechagias review: Enhanced Music is the established high quality electronic dance music label that dares to be different. With visionary artists like Tritonal & Will Holland at the wheels of steel of the label you can be rest assured that all the music releases is carefully filtered and only the highest quality releases are allowed to come out. Juventa is one of those young producers who loves to be different and from his early uplifting trance tracks to the more big room progressive house and now on Culture Flow EP the Dutch talent attempts to exclude himself from the music journalists categories and become full fledged artist that has many faces that will surprise his fans and widen his appeal as well. Culture Flow is what someone can call avant-garde electronic dance music that everything and anything is possible as long as you have Juventa's self proved talent. With influences from artists like Mat Zo & Skrillex his EP is open to many readings, discussions in the social media and certainly gives enough food for thought at your summer holidays. Break Of Day (Original Mix) as the title suggests is the soundtrack of nature when the new day comes and the sun is slowly rising behind mountains. Truly spiritual moment to set perfectly the picture for the EP. Perfect idea to use it as intro on any chill out dj set. NTRMZ (Interlude) is magnificent chill out track that adds some very magical moments that suddenly interrupted with cool cd skipping like effects. Things Left Unsaid is the more dubstep infused indie dance anthem with very cool summery synthy hooks upon the bouncy pumping groove. Cool distorted vocal samples and great rhythm to keep the dancefloor grooving and shaking. Very pleasurable moment that brings Ibiza on my mind and your mind too.  Floridian Knockdown (Interlude) is another very emotional chill out /leftfield moment that various abstact noises and melodies are married to deliver that great uplifting feel inside us. Last but not least  Miami Waves (Original Mix) is the dustep meets breaks anthem with fantastic positive optimistic melodic themes, hypnotic groove and definitely USA music influenced tone in the melodies he used for this magnificent tripping out piece! We Love this flow of electronic dance music Culture but can we have Juventa's next trance banger out soon? #PureGold Love iT
