Miditec – Midi Station

Usta Israel 2005

 

Miki Bibas, a 22 year old guy from Israel and also a former half of the duo "Beat Hackers". Miki is one of the biggest promises in the trance scene for this year, his sound and production point of view is the next stage of the Israeli sound.

He started working at the age of 16 on trance music, 2 years later he got together with Guy and they started to work together under the name of "Beat Hackers". They're first, and only, album - "System Error" was released on U.S.T.A records

 

The album starts with bubbler a great energetic full-on track that makes your body move even before you actually listen to it, just by hearing the beats and sounds it fills you with energies for the rest of them.

 

The second track tiger rock also very uplifting and powerful. In the middle of the track there's a guitar break, which starts quietly and goes upper and upper into real distortion – heavy rock sounds, and then continues where it stopped before as if nothing happened…confusing and beautiful.

 

The 4th track - dont hold back is starting very low and evolves gently in the ear with cute sounds and scratches until its becoming fast and pounding.

 

Crystal vision, the 5th track opens with a scream, that takes you to far places and back quickly as it ends… and then comes back again in between the beats the grow faster and faster.

 

Track number 7, high voltage, is the perfect psychedelic track - low baseline, short sounds and sparks on top of it all. One second its slow and the next it grows faster then drown down again…and so on.

 

Surprisingly the closing track the calling (Number 9) is much lighter and slower then the rest, instead of closing the album it leaves it half open, teasing you to repeat it over and over. And that’s exactly what you do. Brilliant.

 

 

 

Loud frequency 2

 

A fresh album from usta rec.

The 2nd compilation in the series - compiled, again, by Dj Mid (Assaf Miara) that was discovered by ZooB (Dj, Producer and the owner USTA rec.) himself and now discovering new young talents on his own.

Just like his older brother, Loud frequency 1 is a full-on trance album containing a verity of styles from different young artists, each with his unique sound and his personal touch. Here is some of what you can find inside…

 

The album starts with a beautiful uplifting track - Kilimanjeroo by Digital Tribe – Shlomi Dahan (aka Solaris) a 24 year old from the north of Israel, Shlomi started to create music at the age of 19, now he is working on his debut album.

The 3rd track – Mystical was made by Miditec – Miki Bibas, a 22 year old guy from Israel and also a half of the duo "Beat Hackers" (along with Guy). Miki is one of the biggest promises in the trance scene for this year, his sound and production point of view is the next stage of the Israeli sound.

Up we go to number 4 – Xpand Yourself, which starts with a dash of brake-beat and develops into hard fullon scratches, written by Cosmic Station from Portugal and truly is a mind expender track…

Track 5 – Fly High, belongs to Opptockopler, Olli and Tim – 26 from Germany, that had released they're debut album – Replugged, on April 2005 under the label Drugless. The track starts very slowly and calmly and turns into a very reach and full of sounds track, that makes you feel as if you are in the middle of a huge outdoor rave and your flying high.

The closing track of the album – Hypernova, belongs to Goasia. His name says it all – Goa style fullon track, with nostalgic sounds from the past hidden inside a super-modern track that makes you feel that the future is already here…

Optokoppler – Replugged

Usta rec. 2005

 

After releasing a track on the first Drugless compilation (Sie nannten ihn locke) Optokoppler are out with their debut album!

 

Oliver Schmidt and Tim Rskn, both 26 from Hamburg – Germany, discovered the world of psy-trance at 98' and started producing music.

Olli is a sound engineer so he is the man for technicality and Tim relates more to the composition side. each one of them dj'ed on his own and after combining together at 03' they preformed in many big events and mostly in underground parties of the psy-trance scene in Germany.

 

Their first Album - Replugged is a combination between dark full-on and happy dance-floor music. The nature of their sound is very German - clear, sharp and accurate… Along the way you will bump into beautiful vocals and uplifting beats, the kind of music that makes you want to start dancing in secret forests but you will enjoy it none the less in a close club with a hard, smooth wood floor…

 

Psytekk – Space Syndrome

 

Just 1 year after his debut album, dj Psytekk is back with brand new materials in a new album.

Psytekk is Hanan Bitton, only 21 years old but full of talent.

Hanan started playing trance music from a very young age, and was discovered by U.S.T.A during his army service, when he was only 19, which means he could only perform here in Israel and only on weekends and/ or vacations.

Since then he finished his service and managed to perform all over the world, in places like Japan, Italy, Portugal and more.

Hanan defines his music as a combination between tech-trance, psycadelic and full-on all together.

Unlike "Good Purpose", Hanan's first album which is mostly dark full-on, "Space Syndrome" is much lighter. The new sounds he used are much more gentle to the ear and yet very energetic and happy for the body, the kind of music that sweeps everyone into the dance floor and won't let them out.

Each track tells its story and takes you on a psycadelic journey as it grows, it makes you feel as if you're floating on a higher level for a few minutes and then softly putting you down.

Only one year later but the boy had definitely matured, a lot of it thanks to the family he belongs to – U.S.T.A rec. and his mentor Zoo-B.

 

 

X- Wave – Direct – X - The dance floor will not shut up!

 

A 3rd album for the X-Wave project, this time Collaboration between Dj Miko, Melicia and young new Dj's like Roi Sela and Sandman.

The full-on style plays in each one of the tracks, in a very nice clearly way.

This album represents the combination between the old and the new.

The old sound of Goa along with the new metal sound of today.

Miko "adopted" the new generation and showed them the true meaning of trance music – the feelings, the emotions, and the togetherness… the heart of the music.

Miko himself had always created music for the soul instead of the body. His music is very loving and emotional; it caresses your ear softly, allows you to be drown into it and sweeps you inside.

The album itself is very powerful and energetic. The tracks, one by one, tells us a story that flow into each other as if they were one long track with ups and downs, sometimes hard and heavy and other times soft and clear.

But always happy ending (Just like Miko’s crowd after his sets).

Miko, that was one of the Trance genre creators, is making the old Goa style music that is rarely made these days and most of the new generation only heard about.

It full feels you and yet makes you wait for more.

 

Drugless 1

 

U.S.T.A strikes back with a brand new great Album, compiled by Dj Mid aka Assaf Miara.
