IONO MUSIC
Grand Slam / Compiled by Ritmo

Ritmo has compiled an audible pleasure including nine powerful dance tracks. As usual you can expect a qualitatively ambitious mixture of different styles. Bringing together all forms of modern progressive tunes, from the minimal sounds of Kaempfer and Dietze (side project of Protonica) and Mute's very innovative Remix of Ritmo's 'Blue Connection' up to Danish dynamite TimeDrained, pleasing you with a 12 minute deep Scandinavian trance opus, this compilation combines elements of progressive trance and house into something that could be called major progressive sound of 2008.

Next to other well known names on this compilation like Grandmasters Krueger and Coyle, Sonic Cube and Solano we would like to direct your attention on some interesting constellations like the new project 'Shimmer Amount' which is recently formed by one of the Iono label heads Cubixx together with Nizzel (Ski Fi / Ix Lam At) who has been playing a dominant role in the Mexican trance scene for many years now. Beside that you will listen to artists like Temptation, the Brazilian 'trance big band', who are already famous for their rocking live acts as well as the Greece duo Fat Data, offering you funky and pumping trance vibes in a very individual and most effective form.

With that multi-compatible selection of sounds 'Grand Slam' will find its way into the ears of every real electronic dance music addict.

Various Artists - DUSTY NATION PART THREE (DANCE N DUST RECORDS) by dj
asherun Dance N Dust Records is proud to present the 3rd compilation in the "Dusty
Nation" series. DJ Asherun has compiled 9 exclusive progressive psytrance
tracks, ranging from deep tribal beats over morning atmospheres to
electro-sounds.
First of all, the compilation contains tracks by some of Dance N Dust

Decoy, who recently released their debut album "Not Responding To Light"
on Dance N Dust Records, are featured with 2 deep, tribal tracks, and
another act featured with 2 tracks is El Zisco. El Zisco has been DJ'ing

The Scandinavian sound is represented by three artists: Pythagoraz from
Denmark, whose sweet morning sounds have already fascinated many people,
Threshold Productions, whose progressive house fusion sounds have charmed
big labels like Baroque and RPO Records, and finally one of Swedens most
well-known progressive psytrance acts, Shaman, is represented with a
teaser for his upcoming album, due to come out on Plusquam Record
Last but not least are the two acts Flame On Fire and Solano. Flame On
Fire from Greece, who some might know for the releases on Candyflip and
