Releases : Rico Portland - Evading Insularity

A studio mix, released on the Wednesday 25th June 2008. Featuring the tracks 4am, Ultra, Jupiter Calling , No Way Back, Shift, Metaverse and Take Your Time.

The idea behind Evading Insularity was to provide Rico with a personal mix of a few of his favourite records of late May/Early June to accompany him on a trip throughout Europe in July. After recording the mix and playing it back to friends, it received such a positive reaction that we just had to publish it on the website.

Albums : Sasha - Invol2ver

A mixed mix, released on the Monday 8th September 2008. Featuring the tracks Intro, You Are The Worst Thing In The World, Flesh, Eclipse, Lowlife, Midnight and Arcadia.

Whatever you do, please give this album a listen. I only hope that those who appreciate decent trance music will give this a chance. And I can only dream of a day when the people who buy generic urban music and chart nonsense would understand what Sasha has created here. There are no horrendous vocals here, just lyrics that are as poignant as they are pleasurable, and a depth to the melodies to drown most dance music. Play this CD once, and then play it through again. And again. Each time you will uncover more, each time you will find something you did not hear the first time around.
