An apology is due – I’ve only just noticed that the Japanese hard trance label Energetic Trance has been active on Trackitdown for most of this year! There have recently been another 6 additions, and some real blinders if you’re a hard trance head – including StripE’s Fighting for Freedom and Munetica and Buzzmasta’s Cross Water. Even more exciting for Hard NRG fans is that two of Hase’s best tunes can also be found here, the almost-hard-house M15 and Galatea, an anthem of epic proportions – even if it doesn’t quite match up to the incredible original/unreleased version, this is an absolute must-buy. Let’s hope that some more high quality releases will be on the way soon – I’ll be paying more attention to the Energetic Trance vinyl releases from now on, too.
