Alyson:
Take A Good Look (Remixes) The good thing about listening to remixes especially when they each derive from the same track title is that, there is an option to pick out the banger. Alyson is a singer, songwriter, dancer and actress that seems to have already attracted a few DJ's across the globe. Take A Good Look At Me, is combined of 8 club mixes that only grabs your attention for through the first half. The ecstasy begins to deteriorate midway with also the production loosing its ground and purpose. Playing around with too many remixes from the same title track, can either make or break an EP but having said that, its this that makes Alyson such a brave star.

Raistalla It was while browsing through the Electronica section on myspace.com that we fortunately came across this stylish and flamboyant artist Raistalla. This debut release has got the Red Bull energy pumped right into it for those loss energy moments. They say, never judge the book by it's cover quite right cause just by looking at this CD cover, you wouldn't have to as Raistalla introduces a new type of dance groove that stands above the ordinary. The project is divided into three namely; Act 1 (Tracks 1-7), Act 2 (Tracks 8-10) then Epilogue (Track 11). The full Electronica/Dance experience is no doubt witnessed in the Act 1 section. Raistalla is a young promising artist who is setting the path for other new and upcoming artists in her genre.

ATB:
Seven Years
There are 5 brand new tunes on this release that will have the listener forgetting that 15 of the 20 tracks were in the making a few years back. Most of the tracks were originally singles but now compiled to give ATB fans a well deserved treat. Seven Years, is packed with ingredients that will not only keep you on your feet dancing, but also reminiscing how ATB kick started his music career in style. And, if you had not known Andre Tanneberger when he first came on the scene, this album is a bite size, that would of taken you seven years in the journey.

A Lively Mind
Some critics have already stated Paul Oakenfold as being, the pioneer of the modern club culture. The album is lively, and with A Lively Mind, explosively opens up with Faster Kill Pussycat featuring the stunning Brittany Murphy. If there is an artist in this genre that is not afraid to mix it up with other genres, Oakenfold is the man on form as he invites Pharrell Williamsand hip-hop living legend Grandmaster Flash just to name a few. Infact, nine of the twelve tracks has an invite and sure does give the album a further lifting.
