dope new highly limited vinyl 7inch of rain forest featuring exclusive mixes of this beautiful psychedelic house tour de force. experimenting with the uncomfortable mixture of dance friendly production and the sternly serious project of psychedelic adventurism!! these mixes are undoubtedly in a more exploratory tone. luscious chords set the framework for this piano led masterpiece, all the while drifting along on perfectly placed synth arrangements. rain forest might appear pretty at first, a closer listen will yield more confusing emotional reaction as the record at once soothes and disorients. of course, anyone experienced in introspective exploration and healing should know nourishment and pain are not mutually exclusive

dimi angélis & jeroen search. both artists are among the few internationally acclaimed techno artists from the netherlands. their dj activity and production work reaches back into the early nineties. >the new frontier< melds the firmness and determination of old school techno with a contemporary subtlety. it is amazing how few elements jereon search and dimi angélis need to create a dense and compelling athmosphere. >lunar< is the kind of track that slips perfectly in a wide range of club sets. while it offers the dj a vast span of possible connections to other music, its hypnotic melody does not leave your head for hours. >jupiter< is bolder, it is centered around a demanding groove. while the melodies operate in the background of the track, the complex net of rhythmic patterns shifts indistinguishably. it is the type of music which holds you in a tight grip - and you are not even able to tell what exactly is so striking about it. its implicitness makes >the new frontier< such a special record. it belongs to the rare breed of music which does not demand to go into your box - and this is exactly why it is made to stay there for quite some time
