Angel's Envy

Damaged Neons first mix hits the club-floor running, with Jordan going track-for-track with fellow countrymen, Allen and Envy. Through their productions, radio show, Together Recordings label and just-completed US tour debut, the fast-on-the-rise pair have been quaking the genres foundations of late. Steve and Scotts ebullient, uplifting sound proves the natural sparring partner for Jordans innate stylistic robustness. Early tough trance marvels like Argy’s mix of Suckleys Contaminated and the tech brutalism of Ritual thrill. Interspersed between are the equally effective likes of Maarten de Jongs and Sam Jones latest Unknown. Lifting the roof just that extra bit higher are Amir Hussains remix of Forerunners Lifecycle, Trinity from Chris Metcalfe and Miroslav Vriliks Backyard, which collectively deliver the mixs close-out blows.
