Obsession EP
ADSR
Floorshaker/Cargo
Canadian 12"
*****

As a new signing to CARGO RECORDS, ADSR have released their 
second vinyl EP, featuring the track "Obsession,"  with "Pure 
Energy (fire mix)" and "Suboceana (1993 remix)" on the flip.
These tracks were recorded for their limited edition demo
cassette, Accelerated Emotions, in January and are now 
available commercially on this 12" vinyl pressing.

ADSR are an Ottawa duo who are ready to take the world by 
storm with their "electronic body music," which inherits its 
form from various elements of techno, including house, trance, 
ambient and acid.  "Obsession" is a dreamy track that engages 
your mind into imagining life's wonderful attributes and it's 
possibility of non-existance.  "Pure Energy" is the dancier 
track that combines a strong acid bassline with floating 
"Julee Cruise" vocal samples.  "Suboceana" is the second 
incarnation of this track that has been given more punch than 
the original with an acid bassline, an increase in tempo (130 
-> 136 bpm) and better overall production.  The overall 
production quality of this whole disc is equal or superior 
to most other releases from many other artist.

This is just a start for Floorshaker Productions, ADSR's 
production company, which will see many more releases to 
come.  Look for the Accellerated Emotions CD, of new material 
recorded this summer, to be released on September 1 through 
Cargo. - PI

"This Is Just A Dance" / "Straight Out The Gate"
BUBBATUNES
Mo Wax
UK 12"
****

A well and nice group of tracks.  The MO WAX label hasn't slept 
and this ain't starting it.  The 12" contains two tracks that 
vary in speed, attitude and sound.  Some goofs might call this 
"Acid Jazz" - naw.  Whatever title given, this has hip-hop and 
vibe-oriented breaks and grooves to it and is original enuff 
not to have the same cheesy sample worked throughout.  Repition 
is not the key, but progression make great tracks. - A-T

"Together"
DANNY CAMPBELL & SASHA
FFRR
UK 12"
*****

This is the kind of soulful house that FFRR was putting out a 
few years ago with the likes of CARLETON, SATOSHI TOMIIE, 1 
WORLD and BLACKSMITH.  A brilliant track that has three vocal 
mixes and two dubs.  The Mount Rushmore New York underground 
house remixes are the preferred, for vocal and dub.  Get this!
- PI

Dance Your Socks Off EP
DANCE ONLY PRODUCTIONS (D.O.P.)
Guerilla
UK 12"
****-1/2 / ****-1/2

This is the latest UK release from WILLIAM ORBIT's GUERILLA 
RECORDS label.  We get four good tracks to choose from.  "Here 
I Go" is progressive house that uses a tribal bassline.  "Non 
Stop" appears to have popped out of 1977's disco.  "Trance 
Europe Express" is one of the better trance tracks out there.  
This is a label to watch for.
- PI

The two Kevins serving up four new samples of their groovy 
progressive sound, which continue to show us just why Guerilla 
was the #1 UK house label of 1992 and is still going strong.
- TN

"10 x 10"
808 STATE
ZTT
UK 12"
***

This is the third single from their current album, Gorgeous.  
There are three mixes of "10 x 10," along with the track "La Luz 
(Chunky Funky Mix)."  The Trance Mix is very typical sounding of 
todays commercial trance mixes.  The Black Eye Mix is a slightly 
harder edged techno version of "10 x 10" with less of the 
repetitive samples of the title being spoken.  The third mix is the 
Radio Mix.

"La Luz" is a more typical 808 State track from the likes of those 
found on the first album, Ninety.  Interesting, but not a 
necessity. - PI

"Drums of the Lock" / "The Lighthouse"
KABALLA
Big Time
Belgium 12"
****-1/2

Two mixes of each track, "The Lighthouse (Frank de Wulf Mix)" 
being my personal favourite.  Upbeat and happy.  The original 
mix of "Drums of the Lock" features military snare rolls, while 
the Brazil Mix contains loads of traditional Brazilian drumming 
and whistles.  Definite pleaser. - TN

"Tanto Bushi" / "Sawauchi Jinku"
KANAZAWA AKIKO DIGITAL
Underground
US 12"
***

The Japanese doing techno, why not?  These two trance tracks 
hail from Japan - UK and Japanese contact numbers are given 
on the label.  The interest in these tracks lies in the Japanese 
vocals.  The music structure is solid.  Each track comes in two 
similar mixes.  I quite like this and it allows me to give my 
listeners something different from everyone else in the market.
- PI

Orbital
ORBITAL
Internal
UK CD
****

This is the second full length release by the HARTNOLL brothers.  
This album contains some bits from their last full length (the 
track "Moebius" has mutated into the strange opening piece 
"Time Becomes"), as well as a remix of their single "Halcyon."  
ORBITAL are one of the most consistantly brilliant techno artists 
around, and this album has proven that they are able to easily 
alter their sound in order to stay "progressive."  Tracks like 
"Lush 3-2" and "Remind" have now pushed this duo into the 
realm of acid trance.  This album grows on me with each 
listening experience.  Very hypnotic and trippy. - KI

The Summer Fruits EP
RIPE
Dance 2 Recordings
UK 12"
****

This Ep features three progressive house tracks and a soulful 
disco track.  "Passion" is available in vocal or dub versions.  
"Flowtation" is a trancy instrumental track.

The key track here is "Luv Trap."  Strong male vocals enhancing 
a basic bassline with a piano groove.  The vocals could be 
compared with Chicago's house classics, but why bother.  
Uptempo, yet very soulful.  This is a must have track for house 
jocks which can be placed in late-night sets. - PI

"F- Dat"
SAGAT
Maxi
US 12"
***

A probable anthem for anybody who has participated in society 
where the 6:00 news says not to go.  I'm tellin ya that almost 
anybody can agree with what SAGAT preaches.  The track which 
is really a house track gets nuff props on the downbeat (-6) for 
it's attitude 'n stylin.  "F- Dat" is produced and mixed by JUMP 
"CHICO" SLAMM out of Baltimore and has the energy of the 
former TUNNEL (club in N.Y.C. - there's nothin like it in 
Toronto) or a MAW, TODD TERRY or 2 WITHOUT HATS mix.  A 
PG-13 version is available for the weak and junior hearted, but 
the RAW mix comes across direct.  Hip-house done rican style.
- A-T

"Lost Illusions"
SHAZZ
A Bout de Souffle EP
LAURENT GARNIER
"Aurora Borealis"
AURORA BOREALIS
Tolrance EP
DEEPSIDE
FNAC
French 12"s
***** (all)

Strong recommendation: buy anything and everything on this 
label!  Beautiful beats and crisp production.  Sweet 
atmospherics and perfect PH levels.  Pumping and soft in all the 
right places, sometimes at the same time.  By far the best label 
of 1993. - TN

Pure Energy
Various Artists
SPG/Denon
Canadian CD
***-1/2

This compilation contains some of those hard to find hits that 
SPG is known to release (in their Hardest Hits series of hard to 
find classic eighties alternative tracks).  Features of this CD are 
the inclusion of LOVE & LAUGHTER's 1990 single "I Surrender 
(Club Mix with Vocals)," FRANKIE KNUCKLES' "Workout (1992 Vocal 
Mix)," which I didn't know existed outside of the version on the 
1991 album Beyond The Mix, and KYM SIMS' 1991 single "Too 
Blind To See It (Hurley's House Mix)."

The more current tracks are commercial singles remixed in the 
house stylee.  ROBIN S' "Show Me Love (Stone Bridge Club Mix)," 
FELIX FEATURING JOMANDA's "Don't You Want Me (Hooj Mix)," 
ROBERT OWENS' classic "I'll Be Your Friend (7" Radio Mix)," INNER 
CITY's "Pennies From Heaven (Kevin's Tunnel Mix)," SIMPLY 
MAJESTIC's "DJs Put This In The Mix a," BLACK SHEEP's 
"Strobelite Honey (Yes We Did Mix)," KON KAN's "Sinful Wishes a 
(Butchers At Work Dance Remix)," TECHNOTRONIC's (from Revlon 
commercial) "Move This," POBI's (from Montreal) cover of  
"Send Me An Angel a (Extended Mix)," and ADEVA's "Don't Let It 
Show On Your face (Full Length Perfecto Mix)."

For the alternative house dj, the Frankie Knuckles, Inner City, 
Adeva and Robert Owens tracks are the ones for you.  The 
other tracks are must haves for the typical club dj who has to 
play a certain amount of pop to keep the crowds.  A good 
compilation that is worth it for the harder to find tracks.
