Title: Streamlined 2009 – Buenos Aires

Artist: Leon Bolier

Release date: 15th of June 2009

The double CD, released through Dutch heavyweight Spinnin’, includes an embarrassment of musical riches, including Leon’s brand new killer cuts ‘St Kilda’ ‘Medellin’ and ‘Lunar Diamond’. Also on-board is the forthcoming single ‘This’, which features the striking new vocal talent, Floria Ambra. As with ‘Pictures’, Leon’s 2008 debut artist album, ‘Streamlined’ also brings with it a range of new music from fellow Dutch electronic music talents. Prepare to hear white-hot new & exclusive music from Cliff Coenraad, Joop and Jan Oostdyk! Disc 2 kicks off with ‘Last Light Tonight’, Leon’s already-much-talked-about reteaming with Menno de Jong. It progresses though an arsenal of tracks that Leon will be championing at this summer’s festivals and gigs, including Airbase’s ‘Interfere’, Breakfast’s ‘Remember’ and Kyamoto ‘One Moment Of Thought’.

I got my copy of Leon Bolier’s ”Streamlined’ a couple of days ago and got a very positive head bobbing first impression right away.

Disk one is a mesmerizing set of bangin’ trance solids that plays out like a journey through the mind of one of Dance Music premier DJ’s. From the very first track is dead on with an excellent track selection rich deep festival vibes, staccato baselines and hypnotic riffs, with a well placed selection of vocal tracks to balance out the set.

According to Bolier:

A lot happened since I mixed the first CD of the Trancemission series early 2008. I released my first artist album, got featured in the DJ Mag top 100 of 2008 and played more great gigs around the globe. The warmth and enthusiasm that the people attending my gigs showed combined with everything that happened over the past year made me want to release my first solo DJ compilation album, showcasing a deeper sound on the first CD and a more uplifting festival vibe on the second one. I was working on the track list for this CD while I was in Buenos Aires, spending some time between gigs in Latin America. I had an amazing time there, therefore I would like to dedicate this CD to Buenos Aires!

Disc 2 Starts out with a minimal sound worthy of keeping the party going at any after hours showcase, and slowly crescendos track after track with some very funky bass vibes and instrumentals including some vey smart collaborations and originals for Mr. Bolier himself., including track 5 ‘Medellin‘, and track 6’s ‘This’ Ft. Floria Ambria which caught me off guard and completely blew my mind with it’s melodic violin sound on top of a really smooth driving , yet soothingbass line.

Streamlined 2009- Buenos Aires is an excellent follow up to ‘Pictures’ and showcases some killer tracks that are sure to be all the rave on this summers festival circuit. It does come highly recommended as a kiiler addition to your collection this summer.
