Mike Hiratzka and Justin Scott Dixon are maybe not the biggest jocks around but during the last few years they have definitely recorded a couple of great productions. That goes mainly to the second of the two who is the man behind the Voyager. If you have ever listened to Sandra Collins you must have bumped into at least one of his tracks. The unquestionable candidate to my Top 10 of all time is one of the “Lost Classics” that was included on Collins’ “Cream” album. Mike Hiratzka is an American DJ and producer who in collaboration with Kazell created a good “Reaction” a while ago. Let’s leave the history though and get to the “Two Worlds”.
Since both artists are known for their trancey productions, the Original Mix could not have been different. It’s a very heavy and dynamic composition consisting of two pieces. First one is a bow towards the psychedelic trance with all those characteristic rasps. It’s not a comeback to the old days of course. Everything sounds in today’s American manner. After the breakdown a Dutch side of the picture arises. It’s hard to imagine more overplayed melody but fortunately it doesn’t cross the line of good taste. Don’t worry – it’s not Tiesto or Corsten. I suppose that the title was to represent the two different subgenres of trance joined together. I have to say that the overall effect is really, really good.
On the flip a third world approaches our ears. The world created by the well known Descent – author of wicked “Projection” and “Electric Storm”. Eyal Federman’s progressive world is even better then the original. Surrounded by darkness you hear a blacksmith’s hammer and that Dutch melody has no signs of kitsch anymore. Simply a stormer!
