Hi All !
After a short brake Utopia family back to business with Ronen Sahar's (Chemical Drive) debut album - Sonic Boom. The contain 9 tracks :
1 - U-topia 140 BPM
When I first hear this album I had no expectations because I don't really know Ronen's music...BUT...since the first 10 seconds I fall inlove with his amazing groovy style ! after long introduction of 56 seconds full of playings and effects came in the first kick...fat and stretched exctly how I like it. Very good opening for this album.
2 - G shock 143 BPM
This one is a bit diffrent than the first one. It start with mystreious playing and than start male vocal but after 1 minute all you hear the bass line, now the bass line is a bit fast in compare to the first tune...not many melodies and playings but in the last brake (05:20) start beatifull melodi and than all the legs moves with the tempo.
3 - Sonic Boom (with Pop Stream) (Album version) 142 BPM
Excllent version for the release track 'Sonic Boom' - happy melodi in the begining and when the kick start everyone have smike on their face...awesome start for this track ! I feel some jungle atmosphere with all this animals vocals...very groovy tune with chilling playings...full of positive energies go out here. One of the best tracks in the album for me.
4 - System 1000 145 BPM
Now we must back to work...strange bass line with a lot of effects. I think it's a very good track to prepare the crowd for the upcoming madness 
5 - Orbital Frame 145 BPM
All the factors you look, you can find here - vocals, emotions, melodies, crazy effects, groovy bass line...special tune with many supries inside...excllent work by Ronen !
6 - Space Fantazy 143 BPM
I just love Ronen's workd down then 145 BPM. You can hear that he know his work and do it on the best way he can. My favorite part in the track is on 03:32 when the bass line change.
7 - Atomic Drive (with Atomic Pulse) 144 BPM
On this track you can feel Tamir's (Atomic Pulse) touch but Ronen's melodies are also takes important part here. Every thing here is unexpected - a lot of games and nice effects. The last brake just burn the dance floor with the female vocal and the excllent kick. This is my favorite tune from this album.
8 - Brain Freeze 145 BPM
I have no words to describe to strange and special tune. The brake's here are very good and all the tune there are unclear effects that freeze your brain !
9 - Total Acid (with Ananda Shake) 140 BPM
WOW ! the melodi on the first minute is one of the most beatifull melodies I ever heard, but on 01:20 the scratch show the change in the track...I really liked the start with the 'end' melodi that give special atmosphere and vibe.
All in all, it is a very nice album of new artist (for me). Intersting and refreshing..perfect for the summer season 
Keep your eye on this guy, I'm sure that more suprises are on the way.

I wonder where everybody is getting their copies. Is there a pre-sale somewhere?
Everyone in the world is doing something without me |

when i saw this album i had to listen first before buying it because so many producers from the new wave of israel artists rlsd awsome tracks in compilations but when the debut cames out i realy get a litle bit dissapointed, but this one changed my opinion emediatly , awsome flow from the first track to the last one, not perfect in terms of techique but the taste of the artists is perfect for me , this will be played in many dancefloors this summer as a matter of fact one of the tracks in this album called space fantasy where one of my favorite tracks for almost one year, i heard many forignrs djs playing it in parties here in portugal... but i couldt find out wich artist tht track belong, to be honest i tought it was atomic pulse with same ather artist... anyway it was a big suprise for me to catch tht track in the debut album.
keep the good work ronen i hope to see you playing in portugal soon. |
