                                                                0 Comments
                                                                 
                                                                Review of Loopmasters John 00 Fleming and The Digital Blonde sample library Variations in Trance. The latest library in Loopmasters Artist series put the focus on trance - and although trance by its definition is an energetic style of music - this library shows it can be done in a way that deviates from the norm.

                                                                Picture
                                                                John Fleming, also known as JOOF, is a music producer who have been making club music for around twenty years, which is - in all honesty - quite some time. During twenty years - most people have time to either change style completely or they become illuminated audio kung-fu masters. I honestly don't know how deep John Flemings kung-fu really goes, but after watching an interview with him in a recent issue of Computer Music, J has all my respect. Production-wise, he has that rare discipline to keep a focused mind and not get lost in a production while still having a great deal of fun. Or to put it in fewer words: The Man Knows.

                                                                Review of Vengeance Electro Essentials vol 2: In contrast to their well-known Essentials Club Sounds series, Electro Essentials takes on popular electronic music with a more laid back and relaxed attitude.

                                                                Picture
                                                                When it comes to dance music in its most popular, commercial form, German sound designers Vengeance are some of the hottest kids on the block. Their collaboration with ReFX and the hugely popular dance synthesizer Nexus have pushed their fame into the big audience and now Vengeance are popping out sample libraries about two-three times per year with their latest take on the current temperature on the dance scene.
