Let me tell you guys how this CD made me feel: happy!
I am an old-schooler who was used to good trance, and most of the times I think that trance never will be like it was because it lost the spiritual element it had. So, whenever I listen to a CD I try to sense what kind of emotions it brings to me. Most CDs I listen to the first two tracks and return them to the shelves.
But when I listened to Droidlock, whow!, I was shocked with the energy it carries in "Elefantronika".
To start with all, Dhya is very talented as a movie and trance producer. His kind of trance is state-of-the-art, very melodic, fast throbbing bassline, with a touch of goa. And more to the point, very danceable and different from most releases we see around.
1. This World Isn't Real. A magic track! The bassline is incredible and the melody is hypnotic. It reminds of beaches with huge sound-systems. To me 2005 goa track, very beautiful
2. Just Another Simulation. A illusionist track, the melodies carrying you swifly thru the whole track. From the middle on another goa sound effect, very energetic.
3. Order The Future. The bassline is simply beautiful, fat and heavy, again the melody here is the strong point, with an faint whale-voice in the background. Have a nice trip!
4. My Life Is A Trip. A heavy track, the bass comanding the first half. IMO, Dhya's most beautiful track. Is that a 303 behind the melody?
5. Strange Day. Take something, fast! This is Goa! Fast, thumping, heavy bassline and magical melodie. It makes me shiver whenever I listen to it!
6. R U Coming? Pounding drum, huge bass, double echo effects. Again, the melody makes you travel back to goa. Beautiful!
7. Silly Rabbit. From this track on, Dhya goes lighter after the fat basslines on the 6 tracks above. This track is minimal goa, with that guitar (?) that the name of artists like Miranda. An light acid track.
8. Who M I? Another light track, discontinued bassline and echo effects replace the melody in the tracks above. Very hippie.
9. Mutants R Faster Than U. Gosh! We're back to Goa here! the strong point is the 303 effects.
10. Wake Up Your Satisfaction. The closing track sounds a little tribal, and again the smell of goa is very sweet and strong in this track.
IMO, this is the best CD I heard so far, taking 2004 into the calculation. Very powerful, beautiful, melodic, heavy, intelligent, tripping trance. It has been years since I listened to something so creatively arranged!
Congratulation Droidlock!
Keep doing good tracks, you are a winner!
I will give this CD a 100% VERY GOOD rate.
Peace and Love. |

Wow! Listeing to samples on saikosounds and I'm feeling reeeally good about this (like goa-ganges said 'happy'!)
Very mature, groovy and psychedelic. It's really good to see an artist mature like this, and not just copy whatever the latest trend is. And glad to see a cutting edge label like Wirikuta supporting this. Good job.
I'm going to check out the film Baober in Love to hear more of Dhya's sounds. |

Weird synths and bass. Crushing and kicking listeners brain. Interesting album with new path in psy. Good Work. |

sorry but I've been listening to this album again recently and I have to say I love it so much. It makes me smile no matter what my mood. Especially tracks 2, 5 and 9. And when track 9 comes on it reminds you of track 2 but with a higher intensity. It's like you've been listening to one track the whole time.
Beautiful and inner strengthening stuff.
Anybody know what Dhya's been up to this past year? |
