Shiloh-Bleed

Shiloh are a Canadian production duo consisting of brothers Colin & Justin Moreh. While not following their musical output since the beginning of their career, in 2006 I came across this track, "Bleed", from the homonymous album and I was irrevocably hooked.
With a mix of progressive breaks, laid-back tempo and acid sounds, "Bleed" brings to mind BT's early sound and also a bit of Hybrid's, but maintains strong originality throughout.

Solarity-Escape From Dystopia

Solarity are a duo from London, UK who entered the dancefloor spotlight via Anjunadeep in 2009 with a string of high-quality releases ("DNA/Long 41", "Terminal 6", "Logger Riddem/Mantis"). They quickly rose to become label favorites, being featured on the slick "Anjunadeep:02" compilation and having 3 more releases under their name in 2010 ("Diophantine/Red", "Part-Time Hero/Anti-Hero" and "Start"). And if writing original music wasn't enough, Solarity also successfully remixed Michael Cassette, Mango and PROFF, to name but a few.

Renowned exclusively for their progressive house sound, it's unusual to think about Solarity as anything else than progressive. However, it seems that their musical roots go far deeper than that and "Escape From Dystopia" proves it: a drum n bass track that takes one back to Good Looking Records' golden days in the late 90s.

This track is available for FREE on Solarity's Soundcloud page and it would be a shame if you didn't take that opportunity:
