Music business always takes advantage of his roots. Sourcing the early 90's, the rave influence is expected to be the new hype. Be prepared for massive synth, strong 4 to the floor and partying ideology. Here is a short overview of those label who play loud! At Kompakt, Mayer, Voigt brothers and Superpitcher boost the Speicher series with German trance background. Acid effects, basic rocking rhythm and hypnotic atmosphere.
