Review: Ritmo Fatale is a Toulouse based label run by Kendal Mulla & Paul Guglielmi with the slogan 'No Past, No Present, No Future'. The second installment in their various artist series titled Epifania features Mouissie's powerful trance exploration "Into Your Trap" that'll have you reaching for the lasers, Zaatar's mid '90s EBM muscle flexed well on "Abiad Al Layali" as well as Paladin's neon-lit Italo number "Argorythm" - indeed proving its a diverse affair. Closing it out is the afterhours sunrise breaks of Cosmic G's "Somehow It's Different Now" which is pure ecstasy.
Review: It may not always be flavour of the month, but one thing is certain: trance will never disappear. In fact, as this compilation demonstrates, the sound remains in good health. Jaydee, who is best known for the iconic Plastic Dreams, delivers the robust tribal drums and swooshing filters of "Black Book". Representing the new school is Hansgod's shimmering "Altension" and Glenn Morrison's more ominous, bass-heavy "Twenty Something". Both tracks draw on influences from across the decades, including the Eye Q sound and the rumble of New Beat to create vivid new variants. In a fitting closing of the loop, Fort Romeau weighs in to rework Pete Lazonby's classic "Sacred Cycles" - the result is a mysterious dubbed out track that defies categorisation.
