You will find in this category each week, a review on a MP3 track or vinyl track which is breaking the news. All styles are on the “menu” of this category: minimal, house, electro, techno or even trance in some cases.
The topic will be supplemented by other albums following the latest electronic music news.
John Dahlback and Albin Myers have just released "Light of day", a good electro production. If I have considered John Dahlback during a long time as one of the best producers of his generation, his latest productions including the track « Don’t hold back » done with Avicii and that we reviewed, have tended to disappoint me! His last track worked with Albin Myers is unfortunately in this continuity, based on electro sounds too mainstream. The track has already been released on Beatport as a digital version, and has been pressed under the new swedish label Mutant Records.
The new track co-produced with Swedish DJ Albin Myers, is riding on the electro progressive wave that we heard too much these recent days. If I'm not accustomed to write this kind of review rather negative, I wanted to share with you my disappointment with the musical direction taken by one of my favorite Swedish DJs. Long time considered by many as the best Swedish DJ before the Swedish House Mafia, I remain nostalgic of tracks like "Blink", "Borderline" or "Nothing Is For Real".
While the track is clean and efficient, it tends nevertheless rapidly to simple sounds where the preferred style of John Dahlback is diluted in more traditional rhythms.
John wakes up! I'm sure he can provide us in the future his best and his upcoming productions « Farao » and &« Sfinx » that will be released on September 29th, will reassure us I hope. According to the track he broadcast on his Soundcloud account, the real John Dahlback is back. Phew!
