VA – At The Crossroads Vol.1 (DigiStr16)

Digital Structures makes it’s fashionably late entry into 2012 with “At The Crossroads Vol.1” – first installment of series of mini compilations planned for this year. Gabi 2B is a new name on the block, having 2 successful tracks released under 1605 and Iboga Records, brings in his third, equipped with moody melodic hook and a BIG break – it’s a winner!! The Swiss alchemist Martin Knecht ( Human Element ) with his progressive psy crossover rollercoaster ‘Chain Reaction’, introduces a very useful weapon especially for the outdoor season that is about to come. Another newcomer to DS is Diamandy, that presents here a dark and minimalistic number ‘Believe System’, with effective voice samples throughout and a powerful riff climaxing in the breakdown. Next in line is Roy RosenfelD, Israeli Electro wunderkind, that remixes Perfect Stranger’s ‘Slope’ and creates a groovy and kicking, haunted electro-progressive mash- up… Israeli Shahar Melamed ( Indepth ) is closing the ‘unreleased’ part of this mini compilation, with groovy and playful Techno number ‘Parabola’, that smoothly develops into a seducing melodic crescendo. Koen Groeneveld’s signature remix of A. Balter’s track ‘Beans’ is next, no nonsense here as usual with Koen’s productions, and the same usual suspect Balter makes his second appearance, this time with his mate Eitan Reiter, signing off this chapter of “At The Crossroads” with their smoothest creation so far – ‘Komodo Dragon’
