"This Psychotrance release is fresh and made just for Y2K. Hence the name. This is the latest release in the well-founded Psychotrance series from Moonshine Music. This Particular CD is mixed by a new DJ that I am not very familiar with. He is out of Texas and spins under the name `D:fuse.' I was a little skeptical that a Texan could mix trance music. Texas is not world renowned for its trance scene. I live in a state next door to Texas and am usual subjected to country bars everywhere I go when I visit. I don't know where the Trance scene is in Texas but it must exist. I am very familiar with the desert raves in my area. But this guy can give any `Desert Trace' DJ a run for his money. I consider myself schooled. D:fuse has proven to me that anything is possible; even a trance scene in Texas. Normally I would try to select the best tracks from the CD but that is very difficult to do from this CD. All of the songs are pretty strong. His mixing is seamless and his track selections are very well thought. Transitions between songs are critical for any DJ. It is what can make or break a DJ mixed CD or a club set. His transitions are good without too much `building.' I have heard many DJs use `building' in Lou of transitions and good mixing. This guy is nothing like that. In short he is an excellent trance DJ and I hope we will be hearing more from him in the future. If you love 'Hard Desert Trace'style music or you are a long time fan Psychotrance than I would recomend this CD to you. But, hey, what do I know? Check it out and see for yourself. :)"

A pleasant surprise from Moonshine Records

"Over the years, the U.S.-based Moonshine label has released a lot of dj mixes, but few of them have been particularly good. This one, however, is dynamite, and is a must-get for fans of hard-driving trance music. The mix is excellent from start to finish, and includes some terrific tracks by Paul van Dyk, Force Mass Motion, and Pinnochio, and a fine remix by San Francisco dj Jerry Bonham. Especially at the low price that comes with its being a U.S. release, this is one of the pleasant surprises of 1999. Fans of dj's like John Digweed, Sasha, Nick Warren, Jerry Bonham, Nigel Dawson, and Anthony Pappa will enjoy this cd."

One for the B.B.C.

"This CD is an intoxicating journey from beginning to end! Just as you think you are going to catch your breath a rollercoaster of mixes takes you over the edge. If you want a taste of the future in music this is it."
