For number nine in the series we have the fantastic Techno duo ' Alen Milivojevic' & 'Drzneday' with an absolute smasher as they treat us with their track ' Preservation '.  These guys hail from Bosnia and Herzegovina and provide us with some really interesting rhythms, nice vocal hooks and a big room synth that fits the party just nicely.  Also on the release we have 2 excellent remixes with the first being from Hard Techno master 'Dorian Parano'.  The Frenchman takes things darker with hard punchy kicks and intricate synth stabs and a synth that boomerangs your head.  The 3rd remix is from Brazilian Techno wizard and Chromium Music label boss ' Allan Feytor'.  He goes Techno on us with a more laid back approach to things with neat production and smooth subtle changes.

The first Canadian festivals allowed to smoke Joint legally

Ever After is the first Canadian festival to allow the introduction and consumption of narcotic drugs, such as marijuana, held on June 6-9 near Toronto.  As Canada legalized marijuan a late last year, so slowly this Act is beginning to be use into practice at music events.  Each visitor, 19 years of age and older , can carry 10 grams of personal marijuana with them , while the camper crew has the option of up to 28 grams. Any form of distribution of marijuana at the festival site is prohibited and anyone caught dealing will be legally sanctioned.  Ever After became the first festival on the American continent where visitors can smoke "joint" and enjoyed freely without fear of being sanctioned.  The festival has hosted numerous electronic music artists such as Green Velvet, Chris Lake, Rusko, Noisia, Andy C . and others.

The Croatian Ministry of Health has banned the use of “gas for laughing”

The Ministry of Health has banned gas used by tourists in Pag on a massive drug charge. The ban is temporary and is valid until the end of the season, that is, until September 30.  For years, ampoules of nitrous oxide on Zrche have been popular . Discarded gas ampoules that can be used legally in Croatia can be found everywhere. It is a gas that can be found in medicine as an anesthetic and in catering as a propellant for whipped cream. In addition to euphoria , nitrous oxide can cause mild hallucinations, and overuse increases the risk of fainting. It can also cause vomiting , headache or drowsiness . Combined with excessive amounts of alcohol or drugs can cause more serious consequences. While not illegal, for example, there are several laws in the U.S. regarding the distribution of nitric oxide to minors and recreational inhalers. Nitrogen oxide (which is extremely popular with young British) has long been debated in the UK, but in the end the court wo

Axling - Verge EP on Abstraction

Very talented Swedish artist Axling making his debut at the Abstraction label with a package of exceptional productions, showing his characteristic raw and analog sound in each of them. Starting with '[1010]' a cut loaded with movement where he makes very good use of the classic bleep by dividing it into two parts, a low and a much more treble one, thus creating a complex and contagious rhythmic pattern.  On the second track, we have ' Screen ' with an imposing kick and an envelope sub-bass as predominant elements that accompany the very well programmed synth arpeggio and 909 hi-hats sequence. We continue with '10 sec to panic' a track of a more progressive character and influenced by that sound that was so popular in the raves of the late 90s , where the artist boldly leaves the comfort zone without losing his distinctive touch. 'End Signal ' is another organic cut, that many would describe as Loop or Hypnotic Techno , which uses

Gigi de Martino - Revelation EP on Mechanikal

Marching onto Mechanikal with confident stride is the two-track floor-filler on an EP by Italian Techno talent Gigi de Martino entitled 'Revelation'. Strong and full of purpose, ' Revelation ' makes its statement from the very beginning. Big, hard kicks drive the vibes as the full techno soundscape opens up to wonderfully lush and vibrant synth-lines.  Put this in your set if you want to fill the floor!  Equally driving and slightly more percussive is the excellent ' Universalis '. A full, festival-ready cut, full of flavor and character.
