First of all I wanna say I am yes a big friend of Dubi but even if I wasn´t I would have pleasure in making this review, ´cause as a 11 years old career DJ I can recognize whats good and whats bad outhere. (And I also must remember my friendship with Dubi begun after I found him on the net due the fact I am big fan of his music).
All explained, time to make the review of this amazing Dj tool!
1- Ritmo - Practical
And the album already begins powerful! With a fat bassline and lysergic percussion, Dubi introduces to all progressive Psytrance fans his new bomb, called Practical.
At 02:50 a really beautiful break, with a male hypnotic vocal, beauty notes and wind sounds… Tripping! At 03:26 the bassline begins getting higher, stronger and at the 03:33 a nice floating part of the music, with the bass and kick giving body to a crazy magical notes. The final part of the music is just great, the bassline with the percussion making a very danceable journey into the dancefloor… And always, always lysergic effects!
A perfect track to be played at the end of a Set (to close it with a golden key) or even be played in the middle of a set in the end of the afternoon, with the orange sun over the crowd. Another masterpiece from Dubi!
2- Ritmo - Dimension (Suntree Remix)
The second track from this amazing album couldn´t be from other person but SUNTREE. Maybe we can call him the other part of the orange of Dubi.
His remix for Dimension is wonderful. Opened claps, alternating bassline a really happy song. A simple and very effective track. Also opened hi-hats, everything sounding positive.
At 04.18 a really nice effect with the male´s vocal of the track and then it begins a really massive and very crazy sequency of effects! What a great work from Allon.
The break has a closed bassline almost during all the time, with lets the crowd anxious for the explosion, which comes with all opened claps.
The melody of the track is truly simple and beautiful. He used only 2, 3 notes and could show us a beautiful melody.
And I loved the final part, the last seconds, where Allon used a kind of scratch effect to close a track in a very professional and attentions way.
3- Ritmo - Disharmonic Silence (Time In Motion Rmx)
Time in Motion is probably one of the strongest names of the Progressive Psytrance scene nowadays and we couldn´t expect nothing less then a powerfull track in his remix for Ritmo´s Disharmonic Silence hit.
With a dry kick and a very strong bassline, the track is real crunchy.
Filled with fxs and an opened snares, it´s truly danceable…
At 03.27 a really nice effect like a Flanger and then the 1st break appears… With a great melody creating an amazing atmosphere. Time to close our eyes, put our arms to the sky and get into the track!
At 04.37 the track comes back, with an amazing sequency of kicks and bassline, always followed by the stretched fxs.
In my opinion this is one of the best remixes into Ritmo´s new album, I will play it for sure.
4- Suntree - Unseen (Ritmo Rmx)
Now it´s time to check Dubi´s work at one of his best partners, Suntree.
The track begun with closed kicks, with a melody over it. Then at 00:57 the first explosion and Dubi show us his powerfull kick and bassline: serious stuff!
What to say in the 03:19? A great tricky did by Dubi, giving the impression that all the kicks are united, making the song faster… Really nice and creative work, showing he still developing the style! And then, he added fxs and the melody in the background of this amazing tricky, a real lysergic journey that will make everyone dance for sure.
The female vocal is simple but beautiful. We don´t need something complex to make it good, that´s what Dubi and Alon showed us with this female vocal.
At the 05.26 the track re-begin to be aggressive… Closed kicks and the crowd waiting anxious for the explosion… It´s growing, growing, growing and… BOOM at the 05.55… Like an echo sound and the kicks and bassline all together! Crazy!
Another great track inside this perfect prog tool for any DJ or Fan around the world!
5- Ritmo - Check One (Unseen Dimensions Rmx)
This is a slower remix in the album, maybe better to be played in the end of the party or in the beginning/end of a set.
Slower but not less effective. It´s damn filled with a lot of nice elements, fxs, percussions and creative drums.
At 03:40 a curious part of this track… With a nice sequency of kicks and percussion U.D. did a great simple and very danceable part of the tune.
I would say this one is much more lysergy then speedy track, perfect to trip inside it, just moving slowly the bones of your body but moving really fast your brain neurons!
6- Ritmo - Rapture (Gaudium Rmx)
One of the biggest success of Dubi´s debut album couldn´t be remixed by anyone, but the old veteran and experience Gaudium.
With a machine gun kick and percussion, it´s a night music but that can be also be played easily in the day. It will feat in the night or the day, it´s up to the DJ.
The percussions is the highlight of this music… Gaudium showed us how it´s usefull for the track. And at the 05.01 we can realize that. A simple percussion that giving the movement to the music.
At 05.12 a melody begins, slowly in the beginning and getting louder during the break, followed by fxs… Then in the end of the break the main melody begins aswell and finally after a great sequency of snares in the 07:06 the kick and bassline are back. Really good work.
7- Ritmo - Disharmonic Silence (Flegma and Nerso Rmx)
Curiously, Disharmonic Silence was remixed 3 times in this album. And here´s another powerfull version of it, created by the new top producers Flegma and Nerso.
It´s really filled with fxs, one coming after other, making a unique history inside the music. The lead sequence also let us stoned and tripping in this amazing musical journey. For sure the fxs are the highlights into this remix.
At the 03:49 the break begins, with a closed bassline and some lead notes in the air… An echo vocal appear and BOOM, the track re-beguin with an amazing vibe, without the snares yet but already making a great movement.
Difficult to choose who did the best remix for Disharmonic Silence, but I advice you guys to play all of the in different times.
8- Ritmo - Rapture (Egorythmia Rmx)
This is the darker track inside the album. A serious and angry track, side chained and with a melody giving an extra beauty for it, trying to break a little bit the darkness that exists behind it.
The bassline is awesome, perfect to be played in the night.
The middle break of it it´s the most curious in the album, nice to see how Erorythmia worked on it, putting just some notes of the bass alone with some percussion fxs and then at the 03.42 an explosion happens and the closed serious and fat bassline begins again.
This could be perfect a theme for a terror movie, or suspense one… Really good and if you´re looking for dark progressive, here´s what I call an Ace card!
9- Ritmo - Disharmonic Silence (Zyce Rmx)
The last track of the album is the remix of Zyce by the most remixed track in the album, Disharmonic Silence. And whow, this is damn powerfull! If I had to choose between one of the remixes, with all respect to the others, I would choose this one.
The bassline is known already by us, but still very aggressive, fat, lysergic and fits really well in the track, which has a great melody in the background and a lot, loooot of fxs.
The opened and short snare is another good thing Zyce put in the production, we can see it´s really fast and gives an impression of faster music then it is.
Another great, simple and very usefull tricky is the oscillation Zyce did in the bassline, for example in the 01:37 and also at the 02:06 where it goes one note higher and then come down again, in the end of each compass. That´s really good to be listened in the dancefloor!
The main break of this is just GORGEOUS! Like the good and old Psytrance music, making some kind of break-beat with the bassline and the percussions behind it giving the necessary movement for the track… And when the bassline re-begin, it´s that killer machine gun bassline. Amazing!
CONCLUSION: Dubi´s lucky to have his music remixed by so many talented producers who had different ideas about the music history and did another extraordinary work. The album generally speaking is filled with FXs, Melodies and Percussions, the strong points into Ritmo´s music.
If I have to vote for the best track inside it, after hours and hours listening and thinking about it, I would vote for Zyce remix, the last track of the album, which is more my style of music.
But all of them, into their particularly ways, are perfect… We have even a darker version created by Egorythmia, a dried and faster remix did by Time in Motion, a lesson of percussion gave by the genius Gaudium, an introspective moment by Unseen Dimension and a simple and very effective remix did by Dubi for Suntree.
This one was made to be bought, the original copy, and if you´re a really fan of Progressive Psytrance music, go to a party where Dubi will play and ask for his sign aswell on it, I am sure after some years you´re gonna remind this as a special moment in your DJ´s career life!

Indeed a great piece of progressive tracks here. Ritmo's opening track is one of the most kicking on here. Time in Motion's remix is great too, and I always like Zyce's style. Good stuff on offer here, so if you're looking for some more prog psy, you should check this one out for sure.

I only heard the first two tracks in the album yet, but they are without doubts very nice.
In April 3, I will not miss the Live presentation of this work in Portugal.
See you there Dubi.
