Two years have passed since DJ/producer Ilya Soloviev made his first contribution to the global trance scene. His ‘Sunwaves’ and Paul Miller collab ‘Lover Summer’ warmed the trance loving souls, whether they were part of the crowd or played them out loud right in front of them. But Ilya surely didn't sit still in the meanwhile. He's ready for his first strike of 2011, his “Mercury”.

A finely polished production, with which Ilya delivers a tempting trance piece with a big lead and even bigger pay-off. Lead by the track's female vocal harmonies, it checks you in with its melodic powers to fly off to another A State of Trance worthy height.

First catching the ear of the Anjuna family with his 2008 anthem ‘Deadline’, Russian trance star Cramp teams up with Edu for his return to Anjunabeats - resulting in the beautifully constructed rises of ‘Silver Sand’.

Blending floaty progressive grooves with a distinctive popping melody sound, ‘Silver Sand’ is a musically rich and perfectly measured trance anthem with a breakdown that is as mesmerising as it is uplifting. Extra layers of melodies and epic chords weave into the mix as the track progresses, with a second piano tinkled breakdown adding another lift to an impressively constructed composition.

Danish trance leader Daniel Kandi can always be relied on for trance at its most anthemic and his remix of ‘Silver Sand’ is no different. Indulging his more progressive muslcal leanings, Kandi takes a slightly alternative take on the original melodies and builds a strafing, soaring breakdown rush out of them.

Like the joining of ancient clans or the marriage of Marie Antoinette to Louis of France the joining of the Duff brothers is something of a historical milestone. Since birth the Duff’s have gone their separate ways, one getting down on the worlds hipper dancefloors, hips-a-wiggling, head thrown back in rapture and all under a spinning disco ball. The other brother the troubled teen, hood up, eyes down, bass rumbling, one time selecta.

Imagine then two estranged brothers, born from the same seed living awkwardly side by side, never entirely comfortable in each other's company finally uniting on one massive inbred slab of sonic harmony. If you can imagine that slightly cack-handed analogy then that is pretty much what you get here.

After a year of huge edits and original material Duff Disco has finally gone and had a fiddle with his brother? Both taken from the forthcoming Duffstep album “Getting To Sirius”, ‘Your Touch’ and ‘Backseat’ are original Duffstep tracks given a cosmic make over by Duff Disco. They are proper modern disco music that sits just the right side of funky, without conjuring images of fluffy boots and spiky hair, white shirts and fake tan. Whilst Backseat is the more euphoric of the two Your Touch is more moody than an emo teenager watching Twighlight.

Both obviously Duff Disco but somehow keeping the family together as Duffstep’s finger prints are all over these too.

Brothers Keeper, this is the way how Dark Beat & Millok joined the Cimelde team, with this groovy tech house tune. How this track sounds and what it contains in it? Its very simple… groooovy sounds :)

But this is not the end of the groove story, there is another great production including this release, a strong and massive remix wich will blow your minds for sure, and this remix it was made by our very good friend from the Factomania team, Ismael Rivas aka Riva!

Slickly organic tech-house minimalism from Bruno Pronsato on his 2nd release for thesongsays recods. It's hard to avoid the Villalobos comparisons - such is the weight of influence from the Chilean auteur - but that's also a great compliment.

The deft 3D sound design of ‘Anybody But You’ is supremely accomplished and deeply engrossing for the ten minute duration, while the vocal treatments and dark grooving bass of ‘Feel Right’ are perfect for those cross-eyed 6am moments.

Let’s go for 2011! The third year of Sonido records starts with with a special release, it is the first collaboration of the labelheads Timos & Paris Liamis.

The name says it: “For The Funky EP” the track “For The Funky” on Catalogue number 11 is a funky groover with some very effective oldschool house and techno beats influenced by the early 90s. The track "Hey Hoe" is an extravagant sounding, funky dancefloor killer.

It is produced in collaboration with the singer and songwriter Julian Smith from Frankfurt. Also the package includes a Remix from the well known Brontosaurus artists Arto Mwambé, hoes let’s get funky.
