"Big electronic music festivals are unfortunately nonexistent here in the US, but quite strong in places like Europe and Australia. This 2 disc mix set was produced to capture the sounds of this Australian dance music festival, and put out by none other than Australia's hottest electronic label, EQ Recordings. They are also quickly becoming one of the hottest worldwide electronic labels, with stellar CD mix series' like Balance and Electric.



This time, it's Chris Lake and Derek K sharing the dj duties and both deliver great track selections and smooth mixing. It's really a true 5 star 2 disc mix, as both would rate 5 stars on their own. I slightly prefer Lake's as he uses more tech house. Disc 1 by Lake, starts off with a bang and the high bmp's never stop, starting with tech house and followed by fast paced electro. Disc 2 keeps up the energy with house and electro throughout. Both discs feature some big tracks, such as the opening track on disc 1, the Vane Musgrave Peaked Mix of Headland's Nitefall, D. Ramirez's electro track Pleasure Me, and Dubfire's Casaplez Mix of Robbie Rivera's Float Away, which features Justine Suissa on vocals and is an absolute scorcher.



If you're looking for a high energy mix, this is it on both discs. It's enough tech and electro energy to keep frenzied festival dancers moving for hours, and you'll probably be out of breath yourself by the end of disc 2! For a similar electro house adrenalin rush, check out M.O.S. Sessions: D. Ramirez."
