MOONBEAM PRESENTS SPACE ODYSSEY/VARIOUS Venus (unmixed tracks & continuous DJ mixes) ( Black Hole Holland ) ( BHCD 73 ) E-Spectro - I Can Describe (DP-6 Remix) Moonbeam presents "Space Odyssey - Venus" Brothers Pavel and Vitaly Khavleev a.k.a. Moonbeam, can count themselves amongst the biggest music exponents of Russian dance music, storming into DJ Magazine’s Top100 Poll last year. The two continue to widen their sonic arc for their debut compilation album “Space Odyssey” on Black Hole Recordings with a fabric of different styles. Fresh from releasing singles that have pumped through sound systems the world over and weave seamlessly from thick-bellied atmospheric techno to dense charging trance, Moonbeam’s debut compilation “Space Odyssey” chronicles their strong yearn to erase genre-fied boundaries between the somewhat vast depths of techno, trance and electronica. With a rise to fame so quick it would make a reality TV star blush, the pair are now solidified into a force that finds itself right on the pulse of sonic innovation. From the smoky, ethereal CD1 intro of Avis Fox – “Doors Opened Inside”, Moonbeam’s precise mixing takes us through bubbling minimalism to a climbing sizzling ascension of their exclusive Tiesto remix “Love Comes Again” before the listener is soon softly and bravely comforted by Nick Chargill’s “Morning Light”. Constructed with a framework of tightly programmed deep techno, CD 1 moves through trance-esqe melodies and a vast breadth of fizzing sweeps and euphoric vocals. The pumping aesthetic body of Sound Quelle – “Light Beam” lifts the mix with maximum anthemic qualities before Moonbeam’s “Star Way” almost interrogates the drums into an arppegiated climax and allows the brothers massive standout remix of Depeche Mode’s – “Enjoy The Silence” to drop – Enough to send shivers down your spine. The electronic workout weaves original synth lines between an epic vocal throughout its ten-minute duration before the listener is treated to the soothing and mind expanding breakdown of “I Believe In Love” by Lion Love & Kochnev. CD2 moves through progressive house scented with increasingly spacious sounds, with Moguai’s remix of “Song For A Girl” flowing uphill to the sirens of Rosie Romero – “Guru”. If you like your driving tech house to lock you into a groove, E-Spectro – “I Can Describe” and the percussive mutterings that Robbie Rivera creates with his Deadmau5 remix, keeps things deeply dramatic as the boys sweep through a more cosmic affair. Across two cd’s the combination of Moonbeam’s youthful energetic experimentation and their pure personality in the dj booth creates an undeniable effective burst of creativity. As it’s name suggests Space Odyssey tells a story, a story of a journey over two CD’s where from percussive rhythms and modulated baselines comes Moonbeam’s penchant for big room melodies and eerie vocals; all previously captured in their mesmerizing live performances.
