First out is a track by Nemesis Divine (Isak Eliyahu) from Israel, who has previously released a couple of tracks on Starsound Records. Here we get the sound of war, and an intense, almost nagging night time track. Dark, with the sound of machine guns etc. Track 2 is by a new Israeli artist called Technodrome (Shay Ben Haiun). He gives us a pumping, dark, night time track. Pretty intense, with some nice, bubbling psychedelic sounds in there, but I prefer some more creativity. Track 3 is by Tube (Pini Alon) who has released tracks on several different labels, such as Oktava, Spirit Zone, Spliff and Chemical Crew. This one starts with some crazy pop samples, before we get thrown back into the night time vibe again. This one sounds really massive, with a heavy, rolling bass line and scary sounds floating in there. The pop samples jumps in now and then too. Then we get another track by Nemesis Divine. Here we get a stumping track. Quite dark, but I miss some more variation here.

Track 5 is by Safi Connection (Mishel Biton), who has been in the game for a while. He gives us a rolling track with some cool echoing effects. One of the most psychedelic tracks on this compilation. Track 6 is by a new Israeli artist called Stuckpump (Golan Erez). He gives us a pumping track (stuck pump..), with quite jumpy vibe, but I miss some more variation here too. Track 7 is by Zmachine (Paul Marks) who has released several tracks on various labels, such as Pukka, Phantasm, TIP.World and Procyon. Here we get an evil, pumping track. Very Chemical Crew style on this one, which I find quite boring. Track 8 is by another new artist called Khopat (Vasco Pedrosa) from Portugal. He follows the same style. Night time full on, without much variation, but at least we get some nice, floating vibes in this one. He is also involved in the last track, together with a guy named Nuno Santos (Karma Crop). This one goes a little bit more melodic, but keeps the dark, night time style too.

Here are mostly quite dark tracks in the typical Israeli way. If you like the Chemical Crew style, you might enjoy this compilation too.
