Known primarily as the man behind the hugely successful label Xtravaganza Recordings (home to artists like Chicane, Airscape, Agnelli & Nelson), Alex Gold is an UK-based musician less noticed for his productions. However, his discography does contain two trance mixcompilations and an artist album, which points to the fact that he is to be taken seriously as a producer too and not just as a label manager.
In 2005 Alex Gold released "Back From A Break", his first (and thus far only) artist album. Hands down the best track on that album is "String Theory", a blissed-out trance/breaks/chillout tune that works great with pretty much any melodic electronic music style, from progressive and deep house to full-on trance. Simply wonderful.

Mat Zo-The Fractal Universe
Born in 1990 in London, Matan Zohar is one of the undisputed prodigies of today's EDM scene. At only 20 years of age, his discography contains releases on major labels such as Anjunabeats, Soundpiercing and Hospital and his list of remixed artists boasts with high-profile names like Tiesto, Andy Moor, Markus Schulz and Activa.
It was "Rush/Defined", his 2008 release on Anjunabeats, that caught my attention, with its overlapped layers of melodic fuzziness that reminded me of another young producer (Casey Keyworth aka Breakfast), but also had a very strong personal touch. In 2009 Matan was featured by Armin van Buuren on his yearly "A State Of Trance" compilation with the track "The Fractal Universe". It became an instant classic within the trance community and established Mat Zo as one of the most highly-regarded producers in the scene.
