A - Ze Theme
B1 - First Avenue
B2 - Dusty Groove

Making his second appearance on 2020 Vision is the hugely respected French artist, Julien Veniel, aka D'Julz. A major player on the French electronic scene, and one of the hardest working, most in demand DJs that France has produced in recent years. He has previously recorded original productions on Onionz & Joeski�s Maya label, Serial records (Paris) and Josh Wink�s Ovum label, as well as excellent remixes of Celeda�s 'Burning Up' (Twisted USA), 'Deep South' by Layo & Bushwacka (End Records) and for Paper Recordings, Stricly Rhythm and Product deluxe. As a DJ, he has played just about every club worth mentioning in the world. As resident of the Respect and famous Magic Garden parties in Paris, he has been able to hone his skills to such a point that he is now in demand at leading clubs like Fabric (London), The Arches (Glasgow), Tunnel (New York) and La Terrazza (Barcelona), Batofar (Paris) and Pacha (Ibiza). His stunning double mix CD, D�Julz Boxes, on React features tracks from the Inland Knights, Joeski & Chus and Swag as well as his own amazing mix of an unreleased Funky Transport track and has sold excellently worldwide. His debut 2020 Vision single 'Timeless Bass' was a permanent fixture in the boxes of Laurent Garnier, Josh Wink, Danny Howells, Yousef, Chris Duckenfield and Domenic Cappello and has been used on the French film 'Anatomie de l�enfer' by acclaimed director Catherine Breillat. He has supplied three killer tracks for his second EP for 2020. 'Ze Theme' opens proceedings with some haunting strings, familiar beats and a cool hypnotic building groove, Danny Tenaglia stole Ralph�s CDr promo of it when he guested at Danny�s 'Be Yourself' night in New York and has been playing it ever since. 'First Avenue' picks up the pace a little and has already been slaying some of the worlds cooler clubs with its dirty bassline, Funky stabs (that recall classic Prince) and the outstanding signature D�Julz production. Finally 'Dusty Groove' brings the EP to a deep and dark finale, with its haunting riffs and 4am hypnotic, locked on feel, perfect for Batofar, Fabric, Basics and The End.

A - Eat Static
B - After The Storm

Luke Chable, a name which has become synonymous with pure class, is only 22 years old. His tell-tale mix of tough tech edged grooves, with lush progressive sounds work their wonder on dancefloors across the world each week. Just check out reviews of his material in just about every dance based magazine and e-zine. Forthcoming for Luke are remixes and solo productions on over a dozen labels, including tracks for Cass (Sabotage) forthcoming album, work for Yoshitoshi (remixes of PQM and Blackwatch) plus more 21st Century Fux works to follow. 'Eatstatic' and 'After The Storm', two phenomenally large tracks, one tough progressive corker and one tight breakbeat monster. The breaks mix has been doing damage for Jonathan Lisle and DJ Hyper for quite a while now, as do all of the wicked Zero Tolerance grooves, but 'After The Storm' in particular has been rated as one of the young Lisle�s fave tracks for the past 2 years and just featured on Phil K�s Balance Compilation.

A man who needs little introduction, Ferry Corsten (aka Gouryella and System F to name but two) is arguably one of the biggest trance DJs in the world today. After huge selling compilations for Ministry Of Sound (Trance Nation), Ferry wanted to do his own series. 'World Tour: Tokyo' was the first one, and since Ferry is travelling the world constantly with his vibrant DJ sets, this time he touched base in Washington / USA. This is the essential trance album for spring 2003!!

Disc 1:
A - Drink Deep
B - Bombis Acid

Disc 2:
A - Drink Deep (James Zabiela mix)
B - Bombis Acid (Mr C remix)

�Drink Deep� / �Bombis Acid� is the debut release from Newcastle born DJ / producer Dave Brennan. Dave, a long term fan of the label, was signed to End Recordings from a demo - the first he had ever given out - handed to label boss Mr C at last year�s V2002 festival. Given that it�s his first production it�s all the more surprising to find that �Drink Deep� is a percussive End classic in the making. A staple of Layo & Bushwacka!�s recent sets, the track�s drum dynamics sparked some serious crowd participatin� rave nostalgia at the duo�s recent birthday celebrations at The End - with Bushwacka! out and about distributing glow in the dark whistles into the crowd. Reminiscent of Swags� early �Versions� series on Jus� Trax, �Drink Deep� builds from layers and layers of hydraulic, hypnotic percussion over an LFO bassline and some star gazing, psychedelic FX. The flip, 'Bombis Acid' is a tribute to some of Dave�s early clubbing adventures � a time spent taking the term acid house just a little too literally. On disc 2, James Zabiela and Mr C combine on remix duty.

A - Direct Drive (remix)
B - Direct Drive

Equinox returns after recent remix duties for Kaktai to add a futuristic twist on one of his previous releases. 'Direct Drive' was originally released 4 years ago. Manic uplifting stabs and mad twisting undercurrent synth lines should keep even the most hardened of clubbers gasping for air by the time this remix is through. The original mix from 1999 features on the flip and was intended to bridge a void between trance and hard house. It seems strange how they know embrace each other, but back then you either played one or the other. So take a trip back and listen to a track that could have kickstarted it all.

A - Give Me Your Love
B - Easy To Love

�The Love EP� is a new outing from Irish producer Micky Modelle � bangin� house DJ and Enigma resident who managed 3 of the top underground record stores in Ireland for years (Streetdance, Elite and Central.) Having started to produce his own material it wasn�t long before his tracks were being played by people like Tony De Vit, Steve Thomas, Lisa Pin-Up etc. He then started producing as the Tuff Twins with Paul Young and their debut EP, �Dirty Disco� was hammered by everybody including Judge Jules on Radio 1 for three months solid. The outfit went on to remix everyone from Atomic Kitten, the Vengaboys, and Ian Van Dahl right through to harder material from Rachel Auburn and Tripoli Trax. Micky also collaborated on productions with Lisa Pin-Up, Anne Savage and Rachel Auburn and has signed tracks to compilations all over the world � in America, Australia, Japan, Holland and Spain. �The Love EP� is a bumper packed 12� featuring 2 cover versions of all time northern club classics from back in the day. Full on female vocal anthems with big bouncing basslines and hard hitting euro synths - another winner for Boss records.

A - Imagine (Chris Fortier remix)
B - Imagine (Chris Fortier dub)

Fortunato & Montresor's 'Imagine' speaks for itself in having lost nothing in the time since it's original release. A gorgeous, deep house track demonstrates the huge depth and range of abilities in these awesome producers, as does the willingness with which superb producers like Pole Folder and Chris Fortier turn their production credentials to these tracks. Fortier kicks the track solidly into 2003 with a driving, edgy remix which maintains the energy and wicked vocal hook of the original. As with Pole Folder's 'Sense Of Imagination' remix, Fortier takes things deeper and keeps the rolling bass patterns and filtered vocal to add to the already massively atmospheric cut. All builds through the vocal into some waving FX as the track takes you by surprise in building layers and taking you further and further into the mix. Sustaining the depth and atmosphere of the original, Chris adds some straight forward house credentials to the mix and produces a brilliant package with a huge crossover appeal.

A - So Smooth
B - Party Bag

Ictus have seen numerous successful releases on labels across the world such as Mindfood (U.S.A), Minimal and Dirty Blue Records (UK). Their production is always fantastic, with each track managing to some how always sound fresh and new, with new sounds, new arrangements and wicked samples throughout. What a wicked groove � housey / techy crossover stuff, which will appeal to the Fabric massive everywhere. Support has come strong from some top west coast us DJs, UK deep house / tech house DJs and even from big room house fans Futureshock. The A-Side is a wicked, house groove, with layers of bass and that infectious hook carrying things along perfectly. Add in that wicked, little looped vocal and everything moves towards a rhythm laced break, before spiraling out to the finish. Flip it for 'Party Bag', which aptly opts for a slightly bigger feel, with chunkier drums, a more tech-y feel and plenty of percussion to shake your ass to. Should do very well on the white isle this summer.

A - True
B - Just Won't Stop

'True' gets off to a solid stepping beat that punches through the system while liquid undertones build the vibe. Clever use of percussion and bongos make the beat groove until it breaks into a flood of Detroit techno washed over half tempo beats. An easily recognisable vocal and excellent bassline melody then take the track off into dancefloor territory. This is Bristol drum�n�bass verses Chicago house. A TRUE classic in the making! 'Just Won't Stop' is a track that has been a favourite at the Nu Directions HQ for some time. Filtered strings and a sturdy bassline complement the well-programmed drums and the infectious vocal of �Just Wont Stop� just rolls out. This is only stopped for a superb breakdown that is so simple, but so effective. Soulful vibes with a running bassline.

A - Lighters (Steinski mix)
B - Lighters (Steinski voiceless version)

King Unique�s �Lighters� is one of the biggest tunes of the year so far and has been played everywhere from Pasha to City Rockers. Here it gets the remix treatment from Steinski. A legend in his own lunchtime, Steinski is the don of New York and king of the cut-up from Tommy Boy to Sugar Hill. This mix is already getting support from those in the know and looks set to be huge.

A - Feel It
B - Future Abues (Re-rub)

Ever faithful breaks producer Meat Katie (Mark Pember) joins Dark Globe in another chunky, funked-up solid breaks feast. Ripping electro chords and pulsing FX amongst the huge braying breaks of 'Feel It' really set this track apart. Superb production at the hands of Meat Katie and Dark Globe, they've come up with a throbbing, punky house breaks track with it's attention fixed firmly on peak time dance floor devastation. On the flip, Meat Katie & Dark Globe turn their attention back on themselves in ever critical stylee, re-rubbing the massive 'Future Abuse', an urgent, dark floor breaks number with a solid 4/4 groove underneath it. First time around it appeared on Hyper's ground breaking Bedrock Breaks-Compiled ↦ Mixed album and now gets a solid kick into the present day with a dark, house breaks remix of the highest order. Both tracks will undoubtedly find attention across genres. 2 multi-layered, complex cuts all made to sound blindingly straight forward and dancefloor orientated in the hands of awesome production talent.

A - Holla
B1 - Holla (Dimitri Andreas remix)
B2 - Immobilare

Maelstrom�s sound is best described as quality electronic music with a techy edge. The label has a very solid profile with releases from Oliver Klein, DJ Montana and John Fleming and with massive tracks to come from the likes of Dogzilla. Here we have the exclusive new release from hot Dutch techno sensation DJ Montana with new track 'Holla', a remix from Dimitri Andreas and extra track 'Immobilare'. This is DJ Montana�s second release on Maelstrom. 'Holla' follows last year�s well-received 'Theme From Concept'. Montana has also recently remixed the massive Three Drives' 'Carrera 2' for trance label Nebula. Dimitri Andreas is best known for his quality techno productions via Belgian techno label Lupp and provides a great driving techno remix.

A - Project Jupiter
B - Project Jupiter (Organ Donors remix)

Nukleuz Black is set to become the biggest hardstyle label on the planet. This European sound that has originated from Italy, Germany and Holland is the continent�s equivalent of UK hard house. It is the biggest style of music in the massive global rave scene with parties of 20,000+ people happening every month in Holland alone � a country 1/3 of the size of the UK. Nukleuz Black will see 12�s simultaneously released in the UK, Germany and Benelux � a first for any independent label. Project Jupiter is a 20 year-old Dutch producer called Sander Kapper. This is his debut production. Remixers, Organ Donors are arguably the most interesting in-house producers on the Nukleuz team. Their original productions have developed a hardcore fanbase around the world as they are always unique and show-stopping. Their production �4 Tribes� saw support from Carl Cox, Mixmag, Judge Jules and Eddie Halliwell, as well as the usual suspects from the hard house scene (including Andy Farley, Lisa Lashes, BK, Anne Savage and co.) Their remix is pure uplifting hard trance that will appeal to the UK massive.

A - Daylight (Main mix)
B - Daylight (dub)

Boz Boz Recordings is a new label set up by TrustheDJ on behalf of John Graham. This is the second Quivver release on the label, the first being the ultra rare and in demand 'Twist & Shout'. John Graham, one of the most coveted and respected dance producers, casts his golden touch to both vocal and dub versions. A storming track replete with trademark whooping bass and rolling hi- hats, proggy menace and a vocal running through and around and on top of the mix. Spell-binding.

A - Let's Get Together (B & M Hard Flava dub)
B - Let's Get Together (Pierre J remix)

Chicco Secci and Robbie Rivera get together to provide a slamming synth laden cut perfect for peak time dance floor devastation. The Bini & Martini dub is driving with heavy percussion, a filtered vocal and massive building breakdown, while Pierre J goes tougher and darker with a bass heavy re-working. Following initial releases on Subliminal and a host of other key dance labels, Robbie Rivera has since been inundated with offers to work on a wide range of projects for labels that include Strictly Rhythm, Multiply, Tommy Boy, Manifesto, Ministry Of Sound, Time, Sony, Mute, Universal, Epic and Defected. He has also remixed a host of international artists including Harry 'Choo Choo' Romero, Faithless, Felix Da Housecat, Soulsearcher, Moloko and Madonna to name but a few. Chicco Secci is well recognized on the underground scene, and recently demonstrated his talents with a guest mix for Radio 1 in Miami.

A - Spaceman

A soaring epic, lush trancer as we've come to expect from Ferry Corsten.

Disc 1:
A - Carerra 2
B - Carerra 2 (DJ Shah vs Pedro Del Mar remix)

Disc 2:
A - Carerra 2 (Gabriel & Dresden Turbo remix)
B - Carerra 2 (DJ Montana remix)

CD:
1 - Carerra 2
2 - Carerra 2 (DJ Shah vs Pedro Del Mar remix)
3 - Carerra 2 (Nu-NRG remix)

Three Drives' massive anthem from summer 2002 finally get a deserved UK release with 3 exclusive new remixes. This record has been building from import and this new package will take the record to another level. Three Drives are famous for their unique brand of uplifting quality trance with their anthem 'Greece 2000' being their biggest track to date. This new track looks set to become an anthem for the future trance generation. DJ Shah & Pedro Del Mar are rising talents of the trance world from Germany. Gabriel & Dresden (fresh from their Radio 1 Essential Mix) are hot remixers from the USA and DJ Montana is currently blasting the UK club scene / dance press (see Mixmag 3 page feature this month) with his own brand of funkfuelled techno. Nu-Nrg are hard Germans coming out of the Vandit stable. This track is licensed to Cream Future Trance.

A - Mindreader
B - Weird World

Tracks by Weirdo helped shape the sound of Tinrib for many years, making it one of the most groundbreaking labels for followers of the harder end of dance music. With the Tinrib label having recently gone into early retirement, what now for the one they call Weirdo? Well, the Weird one has joined the Recharge label, and for his next installment of mind-blowing magic here are two brand new tracks. Upfront magazine said of these: "Hurrah he's back and he's definitely leader of the pack when it comes to searing hoover fuelled hard NRG. Two sizzlin' fresh tracks." With tastemaker support already from leading hard house and hard trance DJs alike, Weirdo looks set to re-affirm his position at the forefront of the hard dance scene with his forthcoming Recharge productions and live PAs.

A - Majors Of Pleasure
B - Heat Ray

Majors Of Pleasure is a tech house track driven by a big bassline with drums that can only be described as rolling. A synth stab reminiscent of the lead riff sound from Inner City�s classic, 'Big Fun', is a key ingredient in the track, as is the dubbed out trickery that featured in Wintersun�s first release for Automatic, 'Atonal Measure'. A choice vocal sample adds to the atmosphere perfectly. This track is a swinging groover and a hypnotic head tune combined, so it should whip any house club dancefloor into a frenzy. 'Heat Ray' is driven by funky conga led percussion and topped with an array of dub business that gives it a twisted, hypnotic quality which the �deep, dark, twisted� vocal enhances. This track will cause serious movement of bass bins and bodies on the dancefloor. Heat Ray is #8 in Vinyl Addiction�s Cool Cuts Chart.

The title speaks for itself. After the collapse of Infectious Distribution last year, it looked as though the label, as with many others, would not survive. But just a couple of months ago, the Stay Up Forever Collective decided to take on Power Tools, allowing Ant to continue producing his funky and very distinctive brand of techno. Fresh back from a tour of the US and Japan, Ant was itching to get back in the studio to get the first release under the SUF name underway, and THIS is it. On the A, tough loops and a prominent vocal define this track from the start, leading into those all-important Power Tools style 'broken' synths. On the AA, funky acid basses and hard crystal loops create the backbone for this track, which features 24 bars of rapping throughout the break and second half of the arrangement.

A -
B -

Chris Liberator and Ant�s acid techno stomper gets two different but totally loaded remixes that take a different spin on this SUF classic. First up Aaron Liberator and the geezer don their crash helmets and racing gloves as the mad Crash & Burn for a cranked up �no bars held� acid work out with lots of cut up parts and heavy as fuck percussion, that is the signature of when these two nutters get together and have been to the off license too many times. On the flip, old mucker of the Liberators and Venezuela�s best DJ brings the vibe of his sets to the table for a hard and pumping work out.

A -
B -

To kickstart this remix label, RAW head honcho Guy Mcaffer takes on the still in hot demand RAW9 with two new mixes of this influential classic. On the A Guy goes for similar territory with hard, loaded bass and drums only this time playing more with the vocal and letting fly with the breakdown which will please all the fans of RAW9. On the AA side Guy takes a different angle, again making more out of the vocal giving a deeper presence to the track.

This album is inspired by the beautiful island of Ibiza and would be particularly suitable for listening to at sunset gazing out to sea from one of its sandy beaches or shore bars but is equally perfect for listening to at home on lazy evenings curled up on the sofa and of course for early morning post club chillout sessions. In fact it sounds great wherever you choose to listen to it. Slip it in your stereo, get comfortable and enjoy!
