Rebooted sounds coming from the Hill
The latest Hard Trance Bootlegs comp reinstates Sydney-via-UK’s Steve Hill and the obscured Masif DJs for another round of hard remixes inspired by classic progressive and uplifting tracks – not a hard guess really, since Hill owns the brand and basically lives for this type of thing. Hill’s solo disc is a credible effort; while you’d expect the thing to be full of cheesy remixes – and make no mistake, there are a few – it sounds like a reasonable attempt to keep things at a fun club level, without making the same mistakes other brands seem to constantly make at both programming and technical levels. As for the Masif DJ disc – well, if divas, classic JP melodies and stiff percs appeal to you, you’re going to love those 78 minutes. Though derivative of late night big-room jaunts, Hill remixes pepper both discs, giving at least the illusion of exclusivity; also, the control he exerts over this comp is definitely in the listener’s favour, compared to dance brands being distributed on the majors.
