The Tannhauser Gate
The brainchild of DJ and Producer Jon the Dentist, Avian is an offshoot of General Surgery Records, and a rebirth of the principles of the legendary Phoenix Uprising Records. There is no genre pigeon holing but the label is definitely heading off away from techno into the trance/progressive and house arenas. This first release is a fine exemplar of what is to come.The Tannhauser Gate in its original form, is JTDs 80s electronica roots coming to the fore in a slice of synth heaven - the more you play this, the more it grows on you. For a more direct and obvious dance floor hit, Craig Brogan, an emerging talent from Scotland, puts a big room trance imprint on the track.
