Barcode Brothers | Swipe Me
An attempt at futuristic moves and beats, this Dutch duo, relatively new on the scene, has already caught crowds of dancers running after their debut single “Dooh Dooh”. Their receipe of vocalised electronic/techno/trance has been endorsed by other prominent producers like Darude and their success marked by three consecutive Top 5 Gold and Platinum singles in their native country within a year.
Other tracks on this album, like “It's A Fine Day”, do not disappoint, resulting in a growing international interest in these two lads. Besides working on their own music, they also have a hand in producing for other prominent artistes, like Aqua's major hit “Dr. Jones”, for example.

Various | Mashed Mellow grooves Three: Ibiza
Sounding a lot like Café Del Mar, this 2-CD ambient release features classic smoked out beats as well as dollops of atmospheric drum and bass in their tracks by Mazz Bar Blue, Skankadeluic, as well as Sol Del Sur, among others.
While the mixes are a little weak, making it hard for them to stand out above the increasing number of chillout albums being released lately, they have managed to accurately portray hints of serenity in an urban lifestyle through their music, which makes this album worth a listen after all.

This follow-up to the successful debut is highly reminiscent of the first instalment. Sticking to the same formula which brought them success, all twelve techno tracks on this release tell a story, much like their debut album “Fantastic”.
Whether it is about secret agents, the Internet, or the Wizard of Oz, Amir and Anila's infectious brand of energetic melodies and rhythm will keep those feet tapping, even if you are not a particularly big fan of theirs.
