United States of Hardcore
The master delivers his opus. Ben Keen is the most prolific and successful hard dance producer of all time and this August he turns in his most comprehensive work to date. He has invited the most influential players on the massive hard dance scene into the studio to create the ultimate snapshot of this vibrant movement whose influence stretches all over the world: Kollaborators: Anne Savage, Andy Farley, Rob Tissera, Paul Glazby, Lab 4, Guy McAffer, James Lawson, Tom Harding (Dance Valley NL), Christopher Lawrence (Dance Star USA DJ of the year), EJ Doubell & Dave Randall I have to admit that I'm not the biggest hard house fan around (partially because I'm unsure of what I'm after), however, Nukleuz seem to make things easy for me - as I seem to enjoy pretty much everything that they're putting out recently. This latest CD is no exception, with it hardly being out of the CD player since we got the promo, and the volume setting on high! All the tracks are excellent, with no single track failing to hit the spot. However, my fave track has to be with Andy Farley: Accelerate. Released on Monday 4th August.
