Second progressive compilation from Tribal Vision Records...
|
Tribal Vision Records based in the Czech Republic is out with their second compilation, after the successfull Urban Legends compilation released December last year. It is compiled by Slater & Schwa, and we get a few well known artists, as well as some fresh ones. Also this time, we get a fat booklet with pictures and information about each artist, which I find really cool!

First out is a very interesting collaboration between Jaïa (Yannis Kamarinos) and French Kisz (Stéphane Deschezeaux & Fathallah Lekal), both from France. Jaïa is a veteran in the trance scene, and has started releasing progressive trance lately. French Kisz is more known in the house scene. The track we get here is probably a few years old, but never released before. The first time I heard it was in a jaïa live set at the Samothraki Dance Festival in Greece three years ago. A progressive track with pure summer feeling. We get some really dreamy guitar in there, which lightens it up a lot. Nice one! Track 2 is by Rai (Roman Horinek) based in Prague. He also had a track on the first Tribal Vision release. The track we get here is really nice! I get totally summer feeling by this track. Quite housy, drifting progressive trance. A little bit too fluffy for many probably, but I think this will work fine in the summer evenings this year... Track 3 is by Vision & Canedy (Marci Mellmann) from Germany. He has released quite a lot of housy tracks, on labels such as Avalanche, YSE, Plusquam and Plastik Park. He also released an album (Another Life) on Hadshot Haheizar last year. Here we get a groovy, quite minimal progressive house track. Track 4 is by a duo called Minilogue (Sebastian Mullaert & Marcus Henriksson) from Sweden. They go under many aliases, but are most known as Son Kite. Here they give us a very housy vibe. Very funky track that will probably be appreciated by a house crowd and the progressive trance scene.
Track 5 goes a bit more massive. This is made by Flowjob (Joakim Hjorne & Mads Tinggaard) from Denmark. They are releasing their debut album on Iboga Records this year. Here we get a very drifting, quite trippy track, with some nice tribal drums above the bassline and floating echoing sounds. Nice one. Track 6 is a new Danish collaboration called Holm & Andersen. This is Kristian Thinning Andersen, most known as Elysium, and Kim Holm who has been a dj in Denmark for many years. Here they are with the first track they release together. Playfull track with a pretty funny voice sample and some beautiful floating vibes. Not the most interesting track Mr. Andersen has been involved in, but an okay progressive, housy track. Track 7 is by Ticon (Filip Mardberg & Fredrik Gilenholt) from Sweden. They are well known in the progressive trance scene, with a lot of releases on various labels, including two albums on Spiral Trax Records. This track goes a bit more clubby direction, with some electro influences etc. A bit more melodic than most of the other tracks on this compilation too. Track 8 is by Leo (Leo Leite), who is a fresh, new progressive trance artist from Brazil, now based in New York, but has been a dj for many years. He gives us a quite dark progressive trance track. The darkest track on this compilation, with floating vibes and melodies that builds up. The last track we get on this album is a track by Shuma (Davor Tosovic & Emir Cehaic) from Zagreb, Croatia. They have previously released a track on Hadshot Haheizar. This is surprisingly a pure electro track, with typical 80’s computer voice samples etc. Not really my cup of tea, but this should proably please those who like housy electro music.
Tribal Vision keeps a pretty high quality level as they did on their first compilation too. I really like the way they present the artists with a booklet, and the guys has done a good job compiling. I like the first compilation slightly better, but this is for sure one of the better progressive compilations to come this spring.
