Various Artists - Hardgroove Selections Vol.1: Compiled And Selected By Sneja [Hardgroove Recordings 001 Promo]

Put out on the digital circuit via the newly launched Hardgrooves Recordings imprint on February 23rd, 2k24 is "Hardgroove Selections Vol.1: Compiled And Selected By Sneja", a four track compilation release that one would probably refer to as an EP if we'd be dealing with vinyl here. Opening with Groove Salvation & Sneja's "One Life To Live *Oktal 3 Remix" we're drawn to the heart of the dancefloor by stripped down and pumping, yet highly Electro-infused Techno paired with dark vocals and 'troity atmospheric synth movements before Inhum 'Awz' tune "CoColibri" gets a proper remix treatment by noone less than The D3VI7 himself who provides subtle, yet spine-tingling Acid movements alongside a slightly psychedelic late night Trance vibe with his rework. The subsequent tune by AfroNerd feat. Thoby Dladla named "iThemba *Sascha Müller Hardgroove Remix" sees Uelsen's finest on a proper uptempo tip for strobe-lit dancefloors, pairing relentless beats with ethereal vocals whereas Groove Salvation's "Warriors *Oktal 3 Remix" brings forth muscular, Afro-leaning Tribal vibes, undeniably pumping grooves and quite a big portion of sexy heat for a well seductive closing. Proper stuff, this.
