most promising progressive producers. He has already released numerous
records on labels such as Hooj Choons, Maelstrom, Superfly Records, Tune
Inn and Seb Fontaines’ Spot On as well as his own labels Underworld
Recordings and Mauritius. More info on Sebastian Krüger can be found on: www.esbikei.com and more info on Marc O’Tool can be found on: www.marcotool.com Key supporters: “Both
sides really good, but I prefer the original” “Marc O’Tools pumping mix got what it takes” Chris Cargo “Fantastic!” Francesco Farfa “Love this track” Graham Gold, Kiss FM, London “I prefer the A side with its dark techy approach” Gordon Kaye “This
is one of the best prog trance tracks I have heard all year.” Magazines: “If tribal chanting is your bag then you’ll be over the moon at the release of Kruger & Coyle’s ‘The Witness’, which perfectly combines wailing women and melancholic atmospherics”. Mixmag “This tribal trancer marches along in all its Teutonic glory, with eastern chants and tribal percussion being as effective as it is subtly executed. Very useful in the mix.” What’s on Southwest “This
is music to my ears. A good mixture of techno & house with a beautifully
progressive arrangement & very nice breakdown which progresses really
well… wicked tracks” Bubblejam

quality release for the Swedish imprint… with it’s classy,

Alex joon – deep down The new release from Swedish ACDC comes by courtesy
of Alex Joon, a talented producer that has been DJ-ing in and around
Gothenburg for the last 15 years. Two years ago he started up his own
label, Deleet Records, dedicated to afro-funky-house. Through his hunger
and dedication for house music, he has become a diverse producer today.
Alex has been producing progressive trance with Matenda, soulful vocal
house as Soulmate and tribalistic progressive house as Alex Joon. For the flipside we requested the remixing skills of Chris Cargo, one of Ireland's finest DJs and producers who has had numerous releases on labels such as Choo Choo, Automatic and Play House Recordings. His aptly named Sleuth night, a monthly event in Belfast attracted the worlds finest DJs/producers from the Progressive scene running for 4 successful years until its demise in 2001. Chris, seen as one of the pioneers of Progressive House in Ireland is today gracing the decks all over the world. The remix has gained early support by Anthony
Pappa, Seb Fontaine, Barry Gilbey and heaps of others.

SAIKO-POD After the success of the two previous Saiko-pod singles
on Sweden’s finest progressive label, ACDC, the time has come
for the third and final remix single. Two more cutting edge reworks
have been lifted from the forthcoming album ‘Phutureremixes’,
due on ACDC any day. Phutures and Options (Souzz Mix) Phutures and Options is the second Souzz remix, the first being a reworked version of “Southern Comfort” by London progressive masters, Junk on Nanobeat Records. As Miro’s other half, he has been appearing on labels such as Effective, Hooj Choons, Lost Language, Dance Opera, Milk & Sugar and on numerous compilations including Global Underground, Boxed, Deeper Shades and Cafe del Mar. During the years Miro have enjoyed the support of almost every big name DJ at one point or another. They reached number one in Belgium with the re-release of 'Spaceman', considered to be one of the top dance classics in Benelux ever. To this testament, Miro have remixed DJ Tiesto's 'Battleship Grey' and could well be the biggest house act ever to have come out of Scandinavia. The Miro remix of “Groove Moderator”, released
on ACDC last year made it into the record boxes of many superstar DJs
and is also featured on Seb Fontaine’s latest mix CD for Perfecto.
