Various Artists
Shoot It Out
USTA
Tracklist:
Beat Hackers – Hidro
Audiotec – Digital Temp
Tetrium – Something Happened
Bizzare Contact – Frequencies
Nissimyani – Zero Zero
Dynamic – Digital Eclipse
Beat Hackers & Melicia – Smash
Neelix – Hunted
Yotopia – Pro Aggressive
This is probably one of the best of USTA’s recent releases. Shoot It Out offers up come of the best I’ve heard out of the new breed of Israeli full-on trance. (Just missing Sesto Sento.  ) The rolling bass lines, uplifting melodies, and pounding beats will get your feet moving! DJ Maili has done a monster of a job compiling.
01- I’m a sucker for guitar in trance. This tune has guitar in abundance, and in many different styles. Unfortunately, some of it sounds too synthesized, not organic/realistic enough for me. Beyond that, Hidro is a nice rocking trance tune that really progresses well.
02 – Digital Temp is a rolling, progressive diamond. It starts off with some beautiful atmospheric pads. Before long, squelchy leads build their way in, and the tune morphs into a melodic slammer. By the end, you’ll be bouncing up and down! The sound pallet and style remind me a bit of Sesto Sento or Intergalactic.
03 - After a long ambient intro, the bass and kick blast in and Something Happened starts moving. It transforms through a few nice progressions, and drops in a few ambient breaks. However the melodies, once they kick in, don’t seem to fit the rest of the song. This one doesn’t really do it for me. It doesn’t seem to really take the listener as far as it could.
04 – Bizzare Contact’s Frequencies is where this comp really starts rumbling. Nice programming. Fat bass line. Some good lead sounds. Unfortunately, it never progresses as far as you’d think it could in 9:30. The ideas behind it are great, though. I love the beautiful outro. I think Bizzare Contact will be a group to watch as their song writing matures.
05 –I swear I’ve heard this played out at a party before. Probably for good reason, as it’s a pretty tight little tune. Some of the leads get nice and crunchy. They could have used the samples a little less, and progressed the tune a bit faster, though. Sometimes it takes a while to get where you’re going.
06 – Digital Eclipse picks things up a bit, with some good drum lines and aggressive progression. Nice melodies play off the breaks, and each other. A great morning tune that should make people put they’re hands in the air as the sun rises on the beach…
07 – This is the most full-on tune on the comp, but then you’d expect that with a name like “Smash”. Nice aggressive synth work rolls along side a pumping bass line. The mood of the samples compliment the track well. All it’s lacking is a good extended build to really drive everything home.
08 – Listening to this track just makes you feel good. Maybe it’s the warm bass line, or the delayed synth work, or the goofy samples. (they sound like they’re from a children’s movie or anime’) Overall, Hunted has a nice groove to it, but seems very loop oriented. Nice sunset music.
09 – For being entitled “Pro Aggressive”, this sure is a bubbly happy track! Not what I was expecting, but it made me smile listening to it. Some of the leads sound a bit dated, but they work well with the feel of the song. The hand percussion is also a nice touch.
Bottom line… A good well rounded comp that fits different moods and atmospheres. I can see it going well mainly for sunrise time. It’s feel good music with dance floor sensibility.

Great release... Lots of differents tracks...
My favorites are:
Beat Hackers – Hidro --> These guitars are amazing... Best track in this compilation in my opinion. Beat Hackers is one of my favorite artists right now (not only because of this song...)
Bizzare Contact – Frequencies -->groovy track, great production
Nissimyani – Zero Zero --> good track, but hope they remix this one, these ideas can get even better 
And the already known Beat Hackers & Melicia – Smash --> tested in dancefloors all around the world, no comments...
This release is worth to check... Fits most DJs cases...
Respect!

This is by far the best compilation i have heard from Israel the last 2 years.
I used to ignore compilations with artist names that i didnt know (especially Israeli names) BUT this one is a true gem.
I liked almost every single track in here.
Hidro from Beat Hackers has great power and nice guitar sounds,a real hit on the dancefloor.
The track from Audiotec is also nice and will also work on the dancefloor for sure,could be a little better though in my humble opinion.
Something Happened by Tetrium is probably the most different track in this compilation,nice rythm and sound fx plus some really good uplifting melodies.
Frequencies by Bizzare Contact is a HELL of a track,a real stormer and one of the best tracks i have heard recently.Great rythm and melodies all over will make you shake you ass 100%.
Zero Zero by Nissimyani is also a nice tune though it could be much better in much opinion,nice rythm but it needed some melodies.
Dynamic are one of my favorite acts lately and Digital Eclipse Remix is another brilliant track.Great kicks and melodies all over,a real killer,you have to listen to this one people.
Next we have a very interesting collaboration between Melicia and Beat Hackers.Smash is a full on track as you can guess with great bassline and melodies,i didnt like the vocals though.Good for the dancefloor.
Hunted by Neelix is a really nice soft tune,preety original track i can say with really nice vocals in it.Would like to hear more from this artist in the near future.
Last but not least we have Yotopia with a very good and happy tune.Original music in every sense and smiles all around,really cool track that you have to enjoy people 
Go out and buy this one people,great compilation by USTA and DJ Maili,cant wait for some more stuff like this hehe.
Favorites 1,3,4(!),6(!!),7,8,9.
Overall Rating 8/10
Toodaloo Motherfuckers!!!!! |
