Press Reviews "Your mix was one of the most original mixes we've received. It has a beautiful intro and a great feel all the way through." --Raz from Fundamental Recordings on the This Black Forest remix of Solid Globe's "North Pole" "Great track. I really like the phat synth." --Icebird (www.mp3.com/icebird) on "Winter Solstice" "We love Dark Matter in the long version. You should do more longer mixes and send them to us!!" --UK CRMK-FM Radio DJ John Martin on "Dark Matter (12" Mix)" "Just took a listen to Shutdown - seriously impressive dark sounds and beats. ... Very catchy remix full of energy which I found strangely uplifting despite its darkness." --Alex DJ (www.mp3.com/alexdj) on This Black Forest's remix of Pitchshifter's "Shutdown" "5 STARS = EXCELLENCE IN ELECTRONICA" --DJ Ribbit's Trancetastic Radio rating for "The City Under the Lake" (www.mp3.com/djribbit) "I like the style this [guy] uses ... Take a listen." --Jon Doe 13, station manager (www.mp3.com/stations/jd13), on "Lost in Trancelation" "This track's a winner, and is one of the tracks that deserves to be situated on 'Tranquility.' Got a good loop going on in it. Some nice analogue sounds too. Hard trance, I'd say. One for the middle of a set. Keep up the good work. Well produced. Give it a listen." --Ian of Fourteen Hertz (www.mp3.com/fbuk) on "Metro" "Mellow, classy, and almost jazzy drum and bass." --Wicket (www.mp3.com/waproject) on "Amaryllis" "Very polished--and to the point" --Meta4our, artist (www.mp3.com/meta4our), on "Our Redshift" "This is an amazing song. You gotta give this song a listen. It is so worth your time! In fact, download it, that better quality makes this killer song even better." --DJ Frostbyte, artist (/artists/230/dj_frostbyte.html), on "Dive" "Nice work on 'Dive.' Tight rhythmic progression, and some of the smoothest buildups and transitions I've encountered. Reminds me of the groundbreaking style prevalent in Sunbeam productions." --Aquarius, artist (www.mp3.com/aquarius), on "Dive" "Very loud and well produced Trance!" --Denis Couture, founder of Shivas' Realm (www.mp3.com/shivas_realm), on "Dive" "This is brutally good. Originality a *10*"--Bjorgum, artist (www.mp3.com/Bjorgum), on "The Handle (Instrumental Version)" "'Handle' is really fresh!!, and very well produced."--Phil of UNOSOLE (www.mp3.com/UNOSOLE), on "The Handle (Instrumental Version)"
