Psytrance reviews
Oxygen Records based in Prague, Czech Rebublic, run by long experienced dj TV, is out with their second compilation. Their previous compilation called Satellite got glowing reviews because of keeping a higher quality level of morning full on than most other labels these days. Now they are out with the second chapter called Parsec, as usual compiled by dj TV.

Oxygen Records focuses mostly on the melodic side of full on, or morning trance as others call it, and thats what we mostly get on this compilation. Here we get tracks from new, fresh artists, as well as some experienced producers. Braincell kicks off the compilation with a melodic track. This is the new solo project by Ralph Knobloch, who is one half of Rastaliens. One of the tracks that especially attracted my atention is the collaboration between Aphid Moon and Protoculture. Both talented, wellknown producers. Here they deliver one of my favourites on this compilation. A massive, groovy track with some pretty nice uplifting morning vibes, without becoming too fluffy. Another favourite here is Setherian from Brazil who also had a great track on the Satellite compilation. Here he gives us another track somewhere between progressive and full on. Drifting and trippy as always from this guy. Nice one. A positive surprise here is the track by Lucid Sound, here with his first released track. Nice, drifting track that sounds enjoyable for morning dance floors. The other tracks we get here keeps a pretty nice level, but nothing extraordinary.
Oxygen Records releases another nice compilation. As last time, we get a really nice cover art with this one, and you can see that this guy has actually put quite a lot of work in it compared to many other full on labels, where cover arts and selection of tracks often seems very random. Not as strong as their first compilation, but not bad. Keep it coming TV, and as you say; C u at sunrise...
