 Sobel Allstars - Keep Christmas With You
Christmas is coming soon, and you'll sure enjoy this wonderfully crafted pop-dance tribute to Sesame Street, featuring voices of Raquela, Debby Holiday, Carol Hahn and Nivek Tek. The single includes a Ballad Version and a Dance Version, both remixed by Keith Kemper. So put on your dancing shoes, gather with good friends and feel the magic of Xmas.
Another good reason to buy this single : 100% of the proceeds will go to the Blind Cat Rescue & Sanctuary Inc., a non-profit association which saves blind cats from euthanasia and provide a safe place for them, whom regular shelters considered unadoptable.

 Raquela - Tell It To My Heart remixes
Tell It To My Heart was Raquela's first single as a solo dance artist. The success was such that, 1 year later, she is back with a bunch of 11 new remarkable versions by Hell N Keller, Matt Pop, Rinaldo Montezz, Steamweaver and Keith Kemper. Driving beats that lift your body, wicked deep and penetrating synths that hit your soul, regrooved with the sound of today. An ingenious slice of inspirational electro not to be missed...

 Raquela - What Child Is This
Christmas comes back again. Raquela, one of the most established ISV stars, and her warm voice revisit the classic anthem, originally written in 1865 by William Chatterton Dix. Raquela's version, remixed by Keith Kemper, was the one of the most successful tracks of last year's compilation Super Dance Christmas Party Vol. 3, so it was finally released as a single. It's an excellent, inventive dance track, an uplifting package of soaring, dreamy synths and pounding drums, with an irresistible groove. The perfect track for your Xmas parties...

 Dance Mafia feat. Raquela - R.E.S.P.E.C.T.
Dance Mafia are Nivek Tek & Keith Kemper. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. is actually an EP gathering Nivek Tek feat Raquela - A Little Respect (already reviewed earlier this year), Raquela - Respect, and Nivek Tek & Raquela - Respect & A Little Respect mashup.
R.E.S.P.E.C.T. is a hi-octane house/garage stomper, freely inspired from Adeva (and not Aretha Franklin's classic, as I believed at first). A very interesting single, with its hard-hitting drums, ferocious bass, and Raquela’s superb vocal bringing the whole package together perfectly. Comes along with 8 remixes with funny names evocative of the mafia world : An Offer You Can't Refuse Mixmash Club Mix, Show Some Respect Or Sleep With Da Fishes Radio, Godfather In Da House Retro MONSTER Radio Mix...

 DJ Othello featuring Layzee - Up'n Away
Teaming up with young up and coming Russian DJ and producer DJ Alexei Othello, former Mr President rapper Layzee re-recorded one of Mr President's biggest hits, breathing new life into one of my favourites Mr P tracks... The single is coming with a brand new video by Ane Droid.
With not less than 19 remixes ranging from House, Hardstyle, Hi-NRG, and Hard Trance, to classic Eurodance pop, and garage, it's hard to make a choice. The Nivek Tek vs. Keith Kemper 90's Euro Rewind Club and Radio are particularly amazing, 2 pure outstanding euro gems ! The Kompulsor Radio and video mixes are also excellent. A sublime rework of this eurodance classic, and definitely a dancefloor jammer !

 Japan Aid - Help Japan
Raquela and Layzee (former Mr President rapper) join forces for a noble cause. Based on famous gospel anthem Amazing Grace, Help Japan is a very nice dance track. Raquela delivers an gorgeous vocal performance, and Layzee's rap part is just perfect (but too short, to my opinion).
Japan Aid & ISV Entertainment will be donating 100% of the proceeds of this record to American Red Cross Japan Earthquake and Pacific Tsunami Relief, to help Japan rebuild their lives and their country. So, listen to your heart...

 Milk Inc - Nomansland
Leader of Belgian euro-trance movement since 15 years, Milk Inc need no introduction. Their long-awaited 5th studio album of course includes the hits Storm (#1 in Belgium), Chasing The Wind (#10 in Belgium) and newly released Fire (which is already climbing up top 10 in their home country). And the 9 other tracks of the album sure won't deceive Milk Inc fans.
No time to waste on intros, the album opens directly with the powerful track Can't A Girl Have Fun?, a high caliber track.
Then comes the current single Fire, a slamming club tune already burning the dancefloor since several weeks.
The album continues with the catchy and original War, a nice dance track with a few pop influences (and a beat reminding a little bit of 80s tracks such as Flashdance Maniac).
Then we have the lovely Everything, really in the usual Milk Inc style. Rumors say that their records company could choose it as next single.
Afterwards comes the from now on classic Storm, one of the album's highlights.
Subseqently we have the superb track New Beginning (In Your Arms). A strong, drifting, melodic track you can't help singing along with.
Next is the brilliant Shadow, with its dreamy and surreal atmosphere.
Bouncy Throwaway Boy reminds me a little bit of I Don't Care. A real electro ear-candy.
Afterwards, we have Dance 2 Forget, that most of you discovered during last year's sportpaleis concerts. An unmistakable opening and strong, exploding beats.
Then comes the amazing Nomansland, one of my favourite, which would really deserve to be the next single. Eurotrance music in every sense of the word. It pushes this album from great to excellent.
Follows the Album Version of anthem Chasing The Wind, you'll be pleased to hear this wonderful track again.
The only ballad of the album is If You Only Knew. Linda's soulful voice really contributes to make this moment magic.
The album ends (but you simply don’t want this to end) with the album version of their catchy hit Blackout, slightly different but as massive as the radio version.
This new masterpiece does not include any cover song, only original tracks written and composed by the wizards Penxten/Vandueren. The physical version of the album comes along with a nice booklet which includes lyrics and pics of Linda and Regi. They sure deserve their #1 in the Belgian iTunes album chart and in Ultratop Album Top 100. I really hope they'll reach the heights of other countries' charts as well.

 Experience Of Music - Second Level
Experience Of Music's long awaited second album is out. Second Level includes all the recent singles plus some previously unreleased mix versions. Only original tracks, no cover.
The album opens with the BM radio version of Summer Of Freedom. Very eurodance and handsup in approach, featuring Kitty's catchy and sensual vocals, it's one of the album's best tracks.
Then we have the radio edit of I'm Losing Control, a superb piece of music with Kitty's sweet voice carried by lovely ethereal synths.
After Spring is a wonderful instrumental dream-dance track, somehow hypnotic, a real trip leading to serenity.
The album continues with Search For Happiness a very melodic extended track which creates a carefree atmosphere that will put one in a good mood.
You'll be losing yourself in the entrancing pulse of Summer Dream. Soothing and full of energy at the same time.
Then there's Space Cruiser with its brilliant, airy and cristalline melodies, flowing like a sci-fi soundtrack, worthy of some J.-M. Jarre classics.
The Special Radio edit of Digital Love will let you rediscover the majestic sound of this track from their previous album.
The album continues with the very interesting Gregor's Break Da Beat Mix of I'm Losing Control. Gregor Schydlo revisited the song with a more low-tempo, breakbeat ryhthm.
Back to dance with the driving synthlines and powerful rhythm of No Man's Land that will make you move your feet in no time.
Afterwards comes the Gregor's Vocal Trance Remix of Summer Of Freedom, with strong beats and a mesmerizing, cool catchy melody. A superb eurotrance track.
Closing the album, as a bonus, the Eurorap Edit of I'm Losing Control, an upbeat, bouncy dance piece in which Kitty duets with a male rapper.
An exceptionally serene and well-produced album. Whether you're new to eurodance genre or a devoted fan, this album is a must-have. Support Experience Of Music for them to continue keeping eurodance alive.
