Progressive and Breakz Madness

So I picked up a few new CD's today. I haven't picked up any CD's in ages so I just thought I'd share.

Max Graham - Shine
Hyper - Wired
Hybrid - Morning Sci-Fi


The Max Graham disk has to be by far the best disk I've heard from him yet. Tranceport 4 was amazing, this blows it out of the water. Highlights include such tunes as Madoka - Altered and Medway - Trauma(Inkfish Remix). From start to finish this disk builds and builds and builds, and then the long awaited climax hits you and you're just floored. Absolutely amazing. This Canadian DJ deserves all the support he can get. I've had the pleasure of seeing him live at Red Rocks in Colorado, and he DID NOT disappoint. Outperformed Oakenfold that night, who I'm not a big fan of anyway.

"By 7AM the music I typically play has vocal elements and some heavy strings. That is where this CD is made... Somewhere around 6 or 7 in the morning... Tracks that tap into your head and make you close your eyes, imagining a better place to be. Then, opening them to realize you are there, surrounded by friends feeling the same thing you are. That's what SHINE is all about. I hope this CD comes as close to creating that feeling as the night itself..." --- Max Graham

The Hyper disk is chalk full of breakz madness. A bit of electroclash. A bit of progressive remixed to a breakz beat. A little bit of everything, heavy on the bass. I thoroughly enjoyed this double disk album and would recommend it to anyone. Killer tracks such as Hyper vs General Midi - We've Been Waiting(which I own, and should be featured on my next mix!), Plump DJ's - Pray For You(Lee Coombs Vocal Mix), Chable & Bonnici - Ride(Have A Break Mix), and more. This double disk will not dissapoint!!!

Be sure to visit DJ Hyper's Official Website for more on this incredible DJ and Producer.

What can you say about Hybrid's Morning Sci-Fi? Incredible. This proven producer(s) has a track record of producing BIG TIME hits in both production andremixing. A very accomplished presence in the electronic world, and at the forefront of the breakbeat genre. If I tried to describe the sound that is Hybrid, I wouldn't do it justice. Take wicked break beats, intelligent break beatz, dark heavy basslines, with emphasis on strings that make the whole experience dark and hypnotizing, yet uplifting. The amalgamation of sound all comes together brilliantly. It's pure genius. Don't miss tracks such as True To Form, Know Your Enemy, visible Noise(off da hook!), Higher Than A Skyscraper, and Out Of The Dark(absolutely sickening!).

What's even better about this disk? It comes with a 2nd DVD feature length disk that includes live performances, interviews, footage of behind the making of this CD, a documentary, and exclusive unreleased mixes. Also, the DVD has Easter Eggs. Everyone loves Easter Eggs!!!

We are the music makers,
and we are the dreamers of the dream.
Wandering by lone sea breakers,
and sitting by desolate streams.
World losers and world forsakers,
for whome the pale moon gleams.
Yet we are movers and the shakers of the world
forever it seems.
