Press Reviews
Review by Christian Lowensprung of Gods of Music who awarded Born To Karma 8.9
Taken from artists own page:
"The More You Listen, The More You Learn
I'm a progressive and melodic trance/techno artist with a mission to make electronic music with kicks, that hit you in the solar plexus, beats to make you dance, riffs to catch your ear and melodies to reach for your heart. Love is Music."
-Alex DJ
Born To Karma (Rebirth Mix) is a very nice title don't you think? OK, this trance tune is rather different than other trance tunes from mp3.com because it has some culture in there as well.
I think it is safe to say that this tune is highly inspired by the culture of India
(if I am totally wrong here, please let me know.)
This tune that I am listening to, sounds more smart than trance is. Trance is a genre with a vocal, a build, a main part, and an ending (for most trance tunes this is actually true.) But this tune doesn't have the mathematical curse written all over it, which gives this tune a heart as well as that it just sounds good.
If you look to the first paragraph once again, and read what the artists idea of what music is, he ain't too far off. If all his music sounds as good as this tune does, he is on his way in my opinion.
To create trance is simple, but to create good trance seems to get harder and harder as the mp3.com charts get filled with more and more crap.
But on some occasions, people that I haven't even heard about before manages to impress me.
Alex DJ, be proud.
"Man, that's good! The bass really does growl and those synth riffs are excellent" So says mp3.com hero DJ Groove (www.mp3.com/djgroove)aboutmy track "The Final Helium"
DJ Mario (www.mp3.com/djmario) says of the same track "That's awesome!"
