The year is 2000, the year of strawberry kiwi. No, we're not talking about a concoction of fruits and cream. We're talking about a smooth and delicious piece of music: 'Erdbeer Kiwi', the first mutual track of German producers Bitmonx and DJ Fabio. Based on subtle rhythms and grooves rather than an overload of melodies and effects, the minimalist elegance of this track is a showpiece for the still young Progressive Trance genre. In 2014 Bitmonx returns. In the same constellation, as a 2-person project, and with the same motivation: Forget about the rules, it's all about banging dance music.

Both being involved in a multitude of projects, Bitmonx and DJ Fabio have been among the major players of the North German Progressive Trance scene for many years. Their mutual album 'Plugged', released in 2007, made their liveact an international crowd-pleaser. Obviously the chemistry between these two producers is just right – so their mutual comeback in 2014 has everything it takes to be explosive. From now on operating simply under the name Bitmonx, they want to focus on what they love most: Creating delightful music for all the party-hungry Progressive heads out there. A first EP will hit dance floors at the end of the year, the first ripple of what might well be yet another major impact on the scene.

NOK is Alexander Dorkian (aka Galactika) from Hamburg Germany. 

In uniting massive thrust with dreamy easiness, NOK is introducing a New Order...
... in terms of up-to-date Progressive Trance.

It's the skilful play with moods and sound colours that creates a one-of-a-kind suspense on Alexander Dorkian's new album. The rolling force of heavy bass lines meets fluffy and light pad sounds. At one moment the atmosphere is dominated by rhythmically swirling synth chords, shortly thereafter they morph into elegant melodies.

Every title on the album is characterized by this organic modulation between full throttle dance floor power and trancy easiness. Additionally there is a great variation from one track to another, thanks to various collaborations with renowned colleagues and some remixes of proved and tested Progressive bangers.
