There are very few producers whose DJ-appeal stretches quite as wide across the electronic dance music spectrum as Ali Wilson's. From his very first releases he has walked a production line that has seen him engage everyone from Carl Cox to Armin van Buuren, Marco V to Judge Jules and a litany of other heavyweights including Ferry Corsten, Sander van Doorn, Markus Schulz & Gareth Emery with his freeform studio sound.

Now, having built the pressure continuously for 5 years, Ali is ready to roll out 'Phenomenon' - his 16-track-strong, genre-dissolving prodigy artist album...

During the summer of 2010 the first two tracks from the album's ethnically slanted quadrilogy were released. Charged by voracious, rapacious backing productions, 'Pandora's tribal calls and the tantra-mantra vocals of 'Shangri-La' scored two successive, concussive hits on dancefloors. The tracks created a impressive vanguard for 'Phenomenon' and this four-pack of ethnicity concludes with 'Nebulous' & 'Sundance', who's intoned cultural chants drift in from the African sub-continent and the American high plains.

Wilson's first long-player offering has a strong instrumental bias, but when vocal numbers surface, they do so with the same spatial style difference he applies to all his tracks. 'Become One's knowing rock-ish anthemia is likely to be a bolt-upright moment for the listener... Having already enjoyed national top 5 chart success with Armin van Buuren & Roger Shah on 'Going Wrong', Chris Jones lends his highly recognisable vocals to the instantaneously addictive 'Become One'. It's a track that will doubtless provide another major single release moment for the album. 3 tracks further into 'Phenomenon' and 'Self Destruct's angst-ridden female vocals take the tone much darker, with lyrics that are designed to be both challenging and thought provoking.

Tech, in its numerous forms, is one theme that is not in short supply. Early in its game the album delivers the buzzing, humming industrial dystopia of 'Quake', the techno-flecked 'Shakedown' and minimally-minded, yet hard-driving 'Master Plan'...

By the same token though doses of no-holes-barred, roof-ripping euphoria are also scattered across the runtime. The Lee Osborne collaboration 'Absolute', 'New Dawn', the appropriately enough titled 'Infectious', title track 'Phenomenon' and of course 'Pandora' all conspire to ferment an uncontrolled floor revolution.

Across its sixteen multifarious tracks one theme remains constant throughout: this is an album wholly built to dance to. Each track is spring-loaded with bass, beats and high-tension sub-synthery, all of which underline that Phenomenon has one and only ultimate goal... putting feet on floors.

Markus Schulz, presents the December package for all of his Global DJ Broadcast fans.

The number one Irish DJ and trance producer John O'Callaghan released his Subculture compilation short after summer, to great success. The full versions of the tracks on the album are now available in this demanded download-package.

Daniel Dreier has been one of the most active members of the Berlin Techno scene for over 10 years. As a resident DJ at clubs like Watergate and Panorama Bar has has created his own wobbly minimal funk and delivers beats that keep the dancefloor in a state of jiggling suspense.

As a producer he has made his name synonymous with Highgrade as a core member of the label’s family. It comes as quite a surprise when he says: “When I was young, I had absolutely no interest in music - I just felt like I was missing it.” But that sentiment has clearly changed. In the early 90’s Dreier began recording songs form the radio and mixing them with the help of a double cassette deck. His Hip-Hop mix tapes from this period made their way all around the former West Berlin. Fortunately for all Techno fans, a visit to the legendary Bunker club gave his musical taste a new direction.

Daniel Dreier dived into the depths of electronic sound, and by the end of the 90’s was playing his first DJ gigs at Berlin fashion shows. From then on it’s been an upward journey, whether on radio, at festivals or in clubs all over Europe. His success has surely come from the very special Dreier sound that has always stayed fresh, deep and energetic. Little wonder then, that this latest Highgrade release, featuring the tracks “Black Madonna“, “Last Dinner“ and “Angeldust“, is a record that moves your hips from the very first beat.
