Jordan Suckley, Allen & Envy and Freedom Fighters –
Damaged Neon
Continuing to bring the time honored genre that is trance music back from near extinction, as the founders of trance moved on to bigger things, there were a few rising stars that kept this uplifting, yet grounding style of music afloat. Jordan Suckley is one of those names. Having released late last year his interpretation of the Red Alert mix compilation, he comes back with vengeance in true back-to-back style, featuring Allen & Envy and Freedom Fighters.
Damaged Neon looks to take listeners to a place of being constantly on edge with the euphoric, uplifting and harder styles rolled into the two disc mix. Fresh out of the gate on disc one b2b with Allen & Envy, Argy’s retake of Jordan Suckley’s “Contaminated” sets the bar high with breathtaking use of hard hitting drums and euphoric synth designs that cling to the track ever so slightly. Tiesto’s “Traffic” makes an appeareance as Richard Durrand takes a stab at remix the classic. You’ll also find Allen & Envy quite a few times as to be expected with the Dan Stone remix of “Without You” featuring Neev Kennedy follows the “Traffic” remix quite nicely.
“Wasteland” by Freedom Fighters doesn’t let up as properly set samples atop a heart racing groove provides quite the experience to begin disc two. Revolution 9 and Amara team up for two tracks on disc two with “The Tube” and “Scolopendra” which encompass inherent traits of psytrance, utilize hypnotic vocal samples and demonstrate a wealth of knowledge in production style. Christopher Lawrence makes a couple of appearances as his productions “Zulu Magic”, co-produced with Indecent Noise is a smooth, transient experience while “Banshee”, a collaboration with Lostly, contains high energy synthlines on both octave spectrums that drive the track to a nice bpm. Astrix chimes in twice along with Neelix offering his service on the Phaxe “Angels Of Destruction” complete with stunning vocals and brilliant use of piano underneath.
Very solid mix overall for trance fans and if you’re looking for something of your normal comfort zone, whatever that might be in the electronic music spectrum, the album shelves a wide variety of productions spanning the genre chart. You can snag the whole on all of your favorite portals now!
