Sinfol - Intra

As I mentioned in a previous review, I'm not really a EDM-connoisseur but that won't stop me from writing reviews for dance music.  Being a rock and metal fan never stopped me from shaking my ass to new beat, house and techno in the late eighties and nineties (yes, I am that old), so why would it now?  Music is music and music with passion is worthwhile.

Sinfol is one of the label-owners of the fresh, Amsterdam (NL) based Anagram label.  The label concentrates on releasing quality modern dance music with an open mind and a high dancefloor calibre.  With Intra, Sinfol succeeds in describing his label without (many) words.  This 12" is a perfect example of what Anagram stands for.

Intra contains for dance-anthems which range from ambient over acid to dub techno, all with a quite minimalistic approach and a steady focus on the dancefloor.  Hints of melody and far away soundscapes give the songs a unique and beautiful sound. My favourite track is the mysterious and trancy 'Crystalline' with vocals by Barbara Ford.  This song is a dream of a dance track, highly enjoyable on any volume.  

The other tracks have a similar dreamy atmosphere, driving on coninuous beats and thudding bassline.  I don't know if 'thudding' is a word but if you listen to the bass, you'll realize it's a perfect word to describe it.  Intra is an excellent dance e.p. with enough variation to keep the listener entertained and dancing.  Nice stuff...
