Dacru Records – Orientation Vol. 2
Compiled by Dj Nemesis





Promotional Thread

The second volume in the Orientation series is again compiled by Dacru label and DJ Nemesis.
It brings you the known ingredients: 10 quality melodic full on tracks produced by a mix of todays top artists and up and coming new talents. There is also a special reason for this release and that\'s the celebration of the 5 year existence of the Dacru organisation! And it wouldn\'t be a celebration if they weren\'t excited about the final product.

They\'ve got Electro Sun remixing his own No Senses track to an unseen dancefloor monster. More Israeli top talent with Perplex doing a remix of Avenida de Belgica, the title track of the recent Digicult full album. Turn up your speakers for Solar System remixing legendary French project Bamboo Forest. Also, more DigiCult tracks are waiting in collaboration with other Dacru artists: Digicult and Ephedrix teamed up for this one after a magical Mexican tour in 2005. Digicult and DJ Oonah on the other hand, are taking care of the melancholic outro to the cd.

The intro is, in good tradition, the valmorphorizing work of Chromosome. Next to all known artists, some thriving new talent has been sprinkled over the compilation with System Failure and Diaprest showing the future Israeli sound, Twilight adds the essential Mexican touch and Aquila, the newcomers at Dacru records, giving you a taste of what else is cooking on Belgian soil. Expect to hear lots of these powerful melodic anthems at parties and festivals across the globe!

Review:

For celebrating his 5 years working in trance scene, Dacru Records bring the second volume of Orientation series...

Track 1 by Chromosome starts the compilation in a mellow and fast progressive way...it has a power bassline, some percussions mixed with harmonious synth sounds, some vocals with effects...

Track 2 by Aquila has a strong and groovy kick bass line, very agressive and rhythmic...some melodies going in and out, good breaks, nice morning feeling.

Track 3 is a collaboration by Digicult and Ephedrix...is a bit more fast (148 bpm) and more agressive, althrough it has that morning feeling too...groovy and strong bassline, some spacial melodies, perfect for a big summer festival.

Track 4 by System Failure is my favourite here...it has a really killer kick bass line, some digital and electrifying melodies, really nice construction, perfect :)

Track 5 is a remix of the well known Avenida de Bélgica by Perplex...it has that Perplex’s groovy bassline, nice and simple synth sounds, some classic guitar riffs, I like it.

Track 6 is another remix, this time Solar System remixing Voyager from Bamboo Forest...this one is very fulfilling, it has some psy tunes, open hihats, some vocal samples, very psychedelic.

Track 7 by Electro Sun is another dancefloor fullon bomb...strong kick bassline, beautiful morning melodies, great energetic breaks, Electro Sun’s style :)

Track 8 is done by Didrapest and is a bit more psychedelic...it has a deep and groovy bass line, some pacific and open psy sounds going around and a nice and solid construction.

Track 9 by Twilight continues in the same style but this time with a more pacific kick bass line...it takes you into a kind of a synthetic morning soundscape, with some quiet arpeggios going in and out.

Track 10 is a collaboration of Digicult with Dj Oonah and is a bit more fast...I think that they could choose a track with less bpms for ending the compilation...aside from this, it has some uplifting melodies, a fast and groovy bass, rhythmic and danceable.

I think this second volume of Orientation shows the kind of sound that we can expect by Dacru Records, morning and psychedelic fullon for killing worldwide dancefloors :)
