EP Review: Lorant - The History Of Love

Music can be repetitive.

No matter what genre I'm listening to, I always hear some of the same elements repeated over and over again. Any song on FM radio follows the verse/chorus formula, dance music producers love to recycle some synth tunings, and rock bands often write lyrics on only a few subjects.

But every once in a while something comes along that is so vastly different and original; something that breaks the cycle and makes you wonder: "how did someone come up with this stuff"?

Lorant's The History of Love EP is that kind of release for me this summer.


When speaking about electronic music, what sets Lorant apart from other producers is his attention to the smaller things: the drum patterns, the basslines, and the musical bells and whistles that give each track its own flair.

And while some producers compose a lead melody and then create a track around that (sometimes reusing the same background effects as others), Lorant's creations yield that "homemade" feel. Every song on the EP sounds built from scratch, and throughout this 31-minute release, there are few moments where you can predict what's about to come next.

1. Hunter

"Hunter" was the first track I heard off this release before it came out, and like I described earlier, it's an incredible array of melodies, effects, and sound patterns mixed into seven minutes. The song is primarily electro, but has some garage-sounding drums thrown in for added variety. 

2. Dracula 2010

As the title implies, "Dracula" has an underlying 'haunting' vibe. The song is carried by a choppy electro synth-melody with a few surprises: most notably some hand-drumming and low-pitched piano notes.

3. Sound X. ft. Emanuel Xavier

This is the mellowest track on The History of Love, and features the voice of Brooklyn poet Emanuel Xavier over relaxing background synth notes and percussion that has the style of a New York City street performance.

Xavier's performance is something different, but gets repetitive near the end of the track. 

4. The History of Love

The EP's title track is built around a techy-synth melody that moves along at the pace of some minimal drum and percussion sounds. As the song progresses, the melody becomes longer in some places and shorter in others, with additional effects thrown in to keep the track from becoming too predictable.

One of my favorite effects is the powerful synth hits that shine in the back half of the song (they sound reminiscent of something you'd hear in an 80's action movie soundtrack). But as things start to really pick up, "The History of Love" ends. Although the track is four and a half minutes long, I feel like an extended version would suit this song concept better. 

5. Movie ft. O-Red

"Movie" is a breaks track with a rock-band feel, supplemented by the vocals of O-Red. The heavy usage of vocals and non-electronic drums are nice departure from the previous songs on the EP, but the track doesn't seem to build to any climax or endpoint. 

6. Jet Black ft. SAMN!

Lorant enlists Royal Advisor Records labelmate SAMN! to help out in the EP's final cut, which is among its best.

SAMN!'s soulful voice adds an interesting dynamic to this electronica-style track, which becomes ridiculously catchy as a xylophone pattern plays a back-and-forth game with a slew of electro-synths and percussion effects.

Final Verdict

The good: Lorant's debut release is nothing short of original, with a wide variety of electronic and percussion sounds that keep you coming back for more. This isn't the kind of EP you do a once-over with: you have to keep listening to it again to uncover everything that's going on in each track.

The bad: The vocal work on this release has a few quirks, and a couple of the tracks left me wanting more, such as "The History of Love" and "Movie".

Album review: Balance 016 - Agoria

Most dance music compilations and radio shows focus on individual tracks, as DJ's spin the week's top hits or flavors of the month. They provide quick gratification, but generate little discussion about the mix as a whole after it ends.

But another series of albums, Balance, is one of the few outlets where a DJ's mixing skills and overall track selection are put under the microscope. The series has featured past mixes by Lee Burridge and Will Saul, and now French techno talent Agoria is behind the decks for its 16th installment.


His two-part set of mixes: Aller Retour and Rising Sine, use the art of mixing to create a true musical journey that seamlessly travels through several genres in the span of a few hours.

Both of these mix tracklists are busy; each containing 25 tracks and samples apiece, with some songs as short as five seconds. But as a whole, each CD has a story to tell.

So rather than doing this album review in my usual track review format, I've decided to break down the tracklists of both mixes into groups of the same or similar genre.


Take the genres of ambient, techno, minimal, electro, disco, house, add a variety of vocal and percussion samples, throw it in a blender, and set the timer for 70 minutes. Your result is Aller Retour.

Looking back at this mix, it's surprising to recall that I was hearing a certain genre in one series of tracks, and something completely different a couple tracks later. But Agoria finds a way to make it all happen, mixing an incredible variety of sound into Disc 1, although he hits a few speed bumps along the way.

1. Gregg Kowalsky - Ashes From Evermore
2. Alva Noto - Xerrox Monophaser 2
3. Mark Pritchard - ?

I'll admit it- I've never heard of Agoria before this two-disc album, so I was expecting to hit the ground running with a full techno sound for the opening of this CD. Instead, I got something unexpected- a complete ambient trip, and it's completely awesome.

"Xerrox Monophaser 2" and "?" are a great back-to-back combo. The former contains epic orchestral notes and heavily-distorted electro patterns, while the latter's spacey guitar chords evoke that 'drifting away in deep space' feeling.

4. Manvoy de Saint Sadrill - Soeheniona
5. Tosca - Joe Si Ha
6. Emiliana Torrini - Gun

This trio of tracks is where Aller Retour first reveals its reoccurring flaw: Agoria taking a small idea and running too long with it. In this case it's the vocal samples he chose, which lack strength.

"Gun" has a 'wild west' style guitar melody, "Joe Si Ha" is focused on cymbal patterns, and all three tracks are mixed together nicely, with new sounds coming in minutes before the next track starts. But I felt the vocal feel of this section dragged on a bit too long, delaying the heart of the mix.

7. Agoria - Parasite 2
8. Arandel - In D#5
9. Justin - Columpnam
10. 19.454.18.5.25.5.18 – When I Think Of
11. Pom Pom - 10

After a short interlude, Agoria goes into a series of minimal tracks that contain hints of techno, house, and electro.

"In D#5" has a variety of downtempo percussion patterns and electro bass undertones, making it one of the better tracks in the set. "Columpnam" is minimal electro, while "When I Think Of" is backed by some simple, yet effective, drum melodies.

12. Agoria - Altre Voci
13. Glimpse - Train in Austria part 2

The connection between these two tracks is the best in the mix, as the tribal drum and hand-clapping rhythms of "Altre Voci" build up nicely to the powerful "Train in Austria part 2", which is a frantic and energetic series of synth melodies.

14. The Field - Over the Ice (Live mix)
15. Olibusta - La Pazz
16. Cubenx - Mis Dias Y Tus Noches
17. Felix Laband - Whisitling in Tongues (Todd Terje remix)

Tech-house comes through in full force in this section. The most notable is Cubenx's "Mis Dias Y Tus Noches"- an interesting variety of synth notes, drum breaks, and reverb effects.

18. jozif - Back 2 My Roots (jozif's 5o'clock Fabric Shadow edit)
19. Bibio - Jealous of Roses
20. LCD Soundsystem - 45:33 (Trus'me remix)
21. Boozoo Bajou feat. Rumer - Same Sun (Prins Thomas Diskomiks)
22. Hatikvah - Synchronicty (Block Barley & Engin Ozturk Holmby Hills Remix)

Agoria uses this space to build a nu-disco vibe into the back half of Aller Retour, and the results are mostly successful.

The funky guitar and bass melodies "Jealous of Roses" are full of soul, but the song is hampered by terrible sound quality vocal samples. Other standouts include "45:33 (Trus'me remix)" and "Synchronicty (Block Bartley & Enging Ozturk Hombly Hills Remix)", two mellow songs with big-band jazz influences.

23. Rio en Medio - The Last Child's Tear
24. Tipper - Just as the Sun Went Down
25. Gregg Kowalsky - Ashes from Evermore

Agoria brings the Aller Retour to a close with three final tracks- one that seems tacked on, one that doesn't fit, and a reprise of the opener. Tipper's "Just as the Sun Went Down" is a beautiful chillout song, but it feels out of place following a series of nu-disco tracks. 


Disc 2 - Rising Sine

Balance 016 Disc Rising Sine "Soundcloud Edit" by AGORIA

While Agoria uses Aller Retour as an avenue to explore his experimental interests, he uses his time with Rising Sine to create a more upbeat, dance-friendly mix.

Of the two CD's in Balance 016, this is the stronger one, as it contains a nearly endless stream of catchy tracks while replicating some of the variety found in disc 1.

1. Sylvain Chauveau - Hurlements En Faveur De Serge T.
2. Aphrodite's Child- Loud Loud Loud
3. Taron Trekka - Shirol

A slew of piano melodies serve as the opener for Rising Sine, creating a mellow tone for a set of tracks with weird vocal samples.

"Loud Loud Loud" features a female monologue about society unraveling, amidst crowds chanting "No! No! No!", while in "Shirol", a man is speaking in a foreign language. It sounds weird on paper- but it totally works when put together.

4. The Same - Szarpiesz Minerwa
5. Ogris Debris - G-Thong (You and Me remix)

This section is a bit of a downer before going into the middle of the mix. "Szarpiesz Minerwa" sounds like filler, while "G-Thong (You and Me remix) is a decent deep house track, although its ruined by an annoying vocal sample that doesn't do the song any favor.

6. Francesco Tristano - Knee for Thought
7. Different Gear - One Thing More (Dub mix)
8. Michael Forzza - Abstractor 2.0
9. Chris Carrier and Jef K - Morning
10. DVS1 - Running
11. Drama Society & Vladislav Delay - Almodrama

Francesco Tristano's "Knee for Thought", with its improvisational guitar rhythms, kicks off the strongest part of the mix. The song is followed by the variety-filled tech-house track "One More Thing (Dub mix), before heading into the one of catchiest melodies in Balance 016.

"Abstractor 2.0", "Morning", and "Running" blend together to create several minutes of a back-and-forth percussion melody that I found difficult to get out of my head.

12. Agoria - Libellules
13. Avril - French Kiss
14. Gadi Mizrahi- I Know
15. Jonny Greenwood - Tehellet
16. Avril - French Kiss

This section has a strange, haunting vibe, first introduced with a steady keys rhythm in Agoria's "Libellules". The mysterious "I Know" and orchestral "Tehellet" are sandwiched in between two renditions of "French Kiss", an upbeat, drum-filled electronica track.

17. Mark Broom - Twenty Nine (Broom 09 mix)
18. Einmusik - Atlantis
19. Perc & Passarella Death Squad - Temperature's Rising
20. Aufgang - Sonar (Spitzer remix)
21. Shit Robot - Simple Things (Work it Out) (Serge Santiago remix)

Agoria brings the mix back to Rising Sine's house feel with another series of interesting tracks. Highlights include the spacey "Atlantis" and the highly-melodic "Sonar (Spitzer remix)", which contains hints of nu-disco.

My favorite song here is Serge Santiago's remix of "Work it Out", which features electro patterns that spiral in all directions on the note chart.

22. Efdemin - Acid bells (Martyn remix)
23. 3 Chairs - No Drum Machine part 2
24. Kid A - Lonely
25.  Sylvain Chauveau - Hurlements En Faveur De Serge T.

The mix winds down with the piano sounds of "Acid Bells (Martyn remix)", before heading into the indie-rock inspired "Lonely", which is carried by a decent vocal performance.

Final Verdict 

The good: Balance 016 is filled with music from an incredible variety of genres, so if you aren't a straight-up techno fan, don't fret- Agoria more than likely has made a few selections in both mixes that you'll enjoy. His second disc, Rising Sine, is very strong from start to finish, both in mixing and track selection.

The bad: Disc 1, Aller Retour, is commonly hampered by clunker track choices that take a particular theme in the mix and drag it out longer than it needs to be. I felt the track selection for Aller Retour was much weaker melodically compared to Rising Sine. Agoria also has a few track transition hiccups throughout both discs, where the contrasts between songs are highly apparent. 

Rating: 8 out of 10 [Great]

Balance 016 - Agoria, is available for purchase at CDWow (UK), Play4Me (AU), Amazon (US), FYE (US), and soon on all major EDM download stores.

Agoria will also be playing at WMC on 3/26 at Hotel Victor and on 3/28 at Made Event's Sunday School for Degenerates. In May, he'll be in NYC for an album launch party (location TBA).

Track reviews: The best of February

Over the past month, these two tracks have stayed in my top 5 for a decent amount of time, and for a good reason. I haven't gotten around to reviewing them until now, but if you're a trance fan and haven't checked them out already, now is a good time to do so.

1. Running Man - Fading Memories (RedSound Remix) [Only One]

@Beatport // @YouTube // @JunoDownload


When I first heard this song on Afterhours.fm's excellent Spain Trance Connection radio show, one of my thoughts was how much this song sounds like a track built in the early 2000's, but re-outfitted for 2010.

The song opens with your standard intro fare, but things get started quickly with a series of reverberated high-pitched descending scales that sound like the musical equivalent of stars falling out of the sky.

After some chopped samples of female vocalizations and a driving bassline get thrown into the mix, a soft melody emerges going into the breakdown, but it's not what's about to be featured in the closing minutes of the song.

Right at the end of the breakdown comes the main melody- a catchy rhythm that's played out by a synth with an old-school tuning- something that's not commonly heard in trance today.

This song also has a decent lasting value- on each listen I discover another subtle element of the track that I didn't hear before.

Rating: 8 out of 10 [Great]

2. Hodel & JP Bates - Mirrors (Sunny Lax Remix) [Perceptive]

@Beatport // @YouTube // @JunoDownload


One of my soft spots in electronic music are songs have have melodies that are reminiscent of those old 8-bit sounds you would hear on a Game Boy, and "Mirrors" features one of these in a big way.

Everything in this song in neatly constructed- there isn't one effect or rhythm that sounds out of place, and there's also never a point where it sounds like too much is going on at once.

Throw in some powerful piano notes and a few interesting pad sounds- all with a progressive, yet uplifting tint- and you have one of the best songs of 2010 so far.

Track reviews: The spaced-out emo edition

Over the past week I've picked up a variety of songs- some vocal trance, a trance tune, and a prog-house tune which now shares the honor of being my highest rated track on this blog. And if you get emotional, grab a tissue for this one (or skip #2).

1. Talla 2XLC feat. Skysurfer - Terra Australis (Jorn Van Deynhoven Remix) [
Addicted To Trance]

@Beatport // @YouTube // @Discogs


This song gets its name from a mythical European continent that supposedly enclosed the Indian Ocean, according to Aristotle (and Wikipedia). What it has to do with this song...I don't know.

Jorn Van Deynhoven builds his remix of "Terra Australis" around a melancholy-sounding pattern of scales descending in pitch, but it fails to lead anywhere. The ending of this song doesn't mix up the main melody enough, leaving you with a track that sounds like the same thing over and over for a good three minutes.

Jorn has a knack for making catchy trance remixes, but this song is his weakest one I've heard yet.

Rating: 6 out of 10 [Average]

2. Dash Berlin - Never Cry Again (Jorn Van Deynhoven Remix) [Aropa]

@Beatport // @YouTube // @Discogs


"When you come home, I'll stop this..."

[Stop what?]

"When you come home, I'll hide it good"

[Uh-oh. What are you hiding?]

"I'll never cry again, when you...come home...to me"



Ok. If you can get past the ridiculously emo and cheesy lyrics in "Never Cry Again", you'll find yet another decently remixed tune with an uplifting vibe by Jorn Van Deynhoven.

JVD's remix is better than the original for two reasons- it has less vocals, and the instrumentals-only part in the middle of the song is extended to two and a half minutes.

The synth melody in this track is an alternating pattern of middle and low pitches, accented with a few nicely-placed high notes.

Jorn loses a few marks though for recycling the same distortion lead-in effect heard in his remix of RAM's "Ramsterdam".

Rating: 6.5 out of 10 [Good]

3. Gabriel Lukosz - All The Usual Things (Niklas Grosswald Remix) [Infraprogressive]

@Beatport


No one has uploaded this track yet to YouTube, so if you decide to take the $1.99 plunge on Beatport and pick it up based on the sample alone, don't worry- it's worth every penny.

Niklas Grosswald's prog-house remix of this tune has one of my favorite melodies of the year so far. As the song progresses, Grosswald teases this spacey synth pattern with a reverb effect that sends its pitch all over the place.

Then later on in the song, an upbeat bassline joins the fray as the reverb pattern alternates between two octaves.

Grosswald's melody here varies it up enough to where it doesn't feel like you're hearing the same thing twice, something uncommon in EDM.

Rating: 9 out of 10 [Choon]

4. Vast Vision feat. Fisher - Everything (Aly & Fila Remix) [FSOE Recordings]

@Beatport // @YouTube // @Discogs


"I only want to be your everything,
If you let me,
Will you let me?
I want to be your every fantasy
Could you love me?
Like I love you?"

Yes, this song is just as bad lyrically in the cheese department as "Never Cry Again", but I'll give credit to Vast Vision for enlisting Fisher as his vocalist on this one. Out of all the female singers in dance music, Fisher has one of the only two voices (the other being Justine Suissa) that you can distinctly recognize when you're hearing a song with them. The rest just sound like generic female singer #568.

For this song, Fisher's low-key voice is a good fit for Aly & Fila's uplifting sounds, as it prevents the song from becoming too flowery.

This remix of "Everything" also contains a few piano touches and some orchestral elements in the breakdown. As a whole, it's a pretty decent vocal trance song, but nothing unforgettable.

Track reviews: Arctic Moon's remixes of "Dream Way" and "Rock Guitar"

Over the weekend I picked up a pair of 2009 tracks from Arctic Moon, one of my favorite uplifting trance producers. Here are my thoughts on each:

1. Dereck Recay - Dream Way (Arctic Moon Remix) [Redux]

@Beatport // @YouTube // @Discogs



One of Arctic Moon's talents is taking something that sounds simple and making it effective, whether it's in a melody or breakdown.

The chord progression in the back half of his remix of "Dream Way" really shines- it's only four notes moving upward in a scale, but it's incredibly catchy and it makes the song.

His main melody- a soft and warm synth pattern originating from the breakdown, eventually finds its way in between these scales for a fun two minutes before the track closes.

[The song title and the artist name also rhyme- Dereck Recay...Dream Way]

Why not a higher score? The beginning of the track is pretty standard and includes a simplified version of the main melody that fails to go anywhere.


Rating: 8 out of 10 [Great]

2. Corderoy - Rock Guitar (Arctic Moon Remix) [Insight]

@Beatport // @YouTube // @Discogs



After hearing a sample of the breakdown on this song on Beatport, I decided to give this track a try.

I like when producers add instruments into their songs that aren't electronic (ex. piano, violin). Arctic Moon's remix of this song has an electric guitar solo going for it, plus a little bass and snare drum hits on a drum set.

But speaking of the guitar solo, which has that squealing 80's vibe, it's not complex or interesting enough to hold your attention for a long time. When I first heard it I thought it was pretty cool, but the more I listen to this track, the more I wish Arctic Moon took the original solo and spiced it up a bit.

Here's an example of a guitar solo in trance done right- "Liberate" by Robert Nickson and Daniel Kandi. If you took away everything from the song besides the solo, you would still have a solid melody. That's not the same story for "Rock Guitar", which is less rock and more trance.

However, the song as a whole is still pretty decent and is relaxing to the ears.

My top 10 EDM songs of 2009

Although 2010 has just started, it's not too late to get in one more of those "best of" lists. The following, in no order, are my picks for the top 10 EDM songs of 2009:

1. Neptune Project - Aztec (Aly & Fila Remix) [FSOE]


@Beatport // @YouTube // @Discogs



Aly & Fila's remix of Neptune Project's "Aztec" was one of the biggest trance hits of the summer, most notably for the song's quicker tempo and greater emphasis on the female vocalizations that were the highlight of the original.

The duo, to me, are a younger version of Above & Beyond, and their label, Future Sound of Egypt, has been off to a great start by signing some of the best new producers in uplifting trance.

2. Solarity - Terminal 6 [Anjunadeep]


@Beatport
// @YouTube // @Discogs



When you look back at this song as a whole, it has no main build-up point or area of interest. But what makes it so great is how Solarity blends the sloppiness of house with the calm sounds of trance.

As the song progresses, you can hear a soft melody sneaking its way in between the heavily distorted background rhythms, which include notes that sound like sirens and cash registers opening. It sounds like a mess on paper, but it totally works.

3. Matt Skyer - Yearning [Emphase]

@Beatport // @YouTube // @Discogs



Matt Skyer's "Yearning" makes the list as its one of the best uplifting trance songs in the last year.

When the warm piano sounds hit during the breakdown, foreshadowing the melodies about to be heard in the back half of the track, you know you're in for something special.

The entire song has this "feel good" aura to it- the best part of uplifting trance, and Matt has created that feeling perfectly in "Yearning".


4. SoundLift - Road To Revolution [Magic Island]


@Beatport // @YouTube // @Discogs



If you put the soundtrack from the movie Saving Private Ryan and trance in a blender, you would get Road To Revolution.

I first heard this song on Manuel Le Saux's Extrema radio show on Afterhours.fm one afternoon, and the breakdown made me stop what I was doing and immediately download it.

The two minute breakdown, which contains samples of helicopter sounds and gunfire and moves along with an awesome drum roll/trumpet/orchestral melody, is the highlight of a fantastic song from Soundlift. The high-pitch main rhythm, played out with some stabby synth notes, is repeated just enough times to prevent the song from becoming monotonous.

5. Deadmau5 - Strobe [Ultra]

@Beatport // @YouTube // @Discogs



Any single over ten minutes is fairly uncommon with EDM. Thankfully, instead of writing the typical boring intro with basic rhythms so a DJ can easily beatmatch, Deadmau5 keeps this song fresh by starting with a downtempo ambient mood. The introduction lays the groundwork for the song's main melody, but sounds reminiscent of a chillout track with violins and maracas in the background.

After enough buildup and anticipation, the drop finally comes, and not only is it one of the most catchiest melodies of 2009, but one of the most fun as well.

6. Arctic Moon - True Romance [Unreleased]

@YouTube

For some reason Arctic Moon's "True Romance" was never released as a single this year, despite him churning out nearly a dozen productions on various labels.

Outside of hearing this track in a random set, the link above is the only place you can hear this gem of a song- a formulaic, but effective uplifter featuring a wonderful breakdown with tribal drums and female vocalizations. This song is one of uplifting trance's best moments of 2009.

7. RAM - RAMsterdam (Jorn Van Deynhoven Remix) [Armada]


@Beatport // @YouTube // @Discogs



Jorn Van Deynhoven's version of RAM's RAMsterdam is far from original, as the main melody sounds exactly like Lemon & Einor K's "Anticipation", released in 2008. However, Van Deynhoven does a better job at creating a memorable arena-like trance sound in his remix.

Subtle piano notes accompany the frantic main melody, which is built around upward progression of scales.

8. Daniel Kandi - Venice Beach [Anjunabeats]

@Beatport
// @YouTube // @Discogs



If you listened to Above & Beyond's Anjunabeats Vol. 7 compilation from start to finish without knowing any of the track names or producers, you could easily pick out Daniel Kandi's lone song.

"Venice Beach" contains all the staple elements of another Daniel Kandi classic- a warm uplifting melody, his traditional synth pitch tunings, and a decent outro.


9. Solarstone - Late Summer Fields (Forerunners Club Mix) [Solaris]


@Beatport // @YouTube // @Discogs



This one is kind of a homer pick, as Solarstone's "Late Summer Fields" is one of my favorite trance tracks of all-time. This is also one of the only two vocal trance songs on this list.

Don't be fooled by the track's name- the Forerunners "club" mix is just as much club as the original versions, but the lyrics in the song are rearranged, and a new melody sneaks its way in the back half of the song. If you've never listened to Solarstone, this is one of their highlight tracks, and part of their excellent Rain Stars Eternal (2008) and Anthology One (2006) albums.

10. Dash Berlin ft. Emma Hewitt - Waiting [Aropa]

@Beatport
// @YouTube // @Discogs



Dash Berlin's "Waiting" featuring Emma Hewitt was one of the most popular vocal trance songs of 2009 for one reason- it's incredibly fun.

Yes the lyrics are cheesy. Yes the melodies are basic. But isn't that what makes vocal trance great in the first place?

If you liked this version check out AROPA 004 - Dash Berlin ft. Emma Hewitt - The Remixes, with new versions by Sean Tyas, First State, and Dash Berlin.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

So there you have it- my picks for the top 10 EDM songs of 2009. Was there anything on this list you liked in particular or didn't like? Also, what are your picks?
