FEEDBACK

Frederik (Pako & Frederik) Holland - I like both tracks by DP-6. Also really like 'Sun Deep' by Xplore. Liquid Silver is also a nice track.

Chris Sterio (Source of Gravity), UK - like it !!! 8/10 and charting high.

Mike Hiratzka, USA - Star Gazer is cool !

Eelke Kleijn, Holland - Nice stuff here again ! I like the sound of Star Gazer, Sun Deep & Wave Motion.  Will play those. That last one if my favourite. Nice deep housy sound. Charting that one for June !

Paul Kwitek (Existence Records), Poland - Great tracks. I am really diggin everything dp-6 is doing now & each track they produce gets better & better. Moscow Beats is a very nice chuggy & deep groove affair which i can see working really well with the dancefloor & in charts. The deep bassline & synth stabs give it that needed energy. Wave Motion also carries that dp-6 sound...really nice flow on this one. All 3 Xplore tracks are well produced & i can see them mix nicely in my dj sets. Overall this is a great release.

Emanuel Phaz (Atlant Recods, Sentient Audio Collective) Greece - Will dig mostly Xplore tracks. Star Gazer is definitely gonna be included in my first On Demand set & my June chart ! Solid stuff & pure melodic ! 8/10

Samer Salhab (Pangea Recordings) USA - I love the most Xplore tracks. They are very well produced, especially the breaks track. Very nice & melodic, but driving as well. I'll see if these go down well in SF this weekend. As for DP-6, i love his tracks as well. A fantastic release from you guys all in all.

Arjun Vagale (Jalebee) India - Moscow Bears is a banger. Gonna play it out, and Silver Liquid... oh wow... totally diggin the melodic breaks vibe...beautiful melodies. 10/10 for sure.

Robin Fitter (Inqline Records, Navigate Recordings, Fitalic) Holland - The Xplore tracks are amazing !!! Very deep and nice melodic.

Deepsky (Balance Record Pool) USA - Wave Motion is cool. 7/10

J-Punch (Hook The Captain) Balance Record Pool, USA - I like the deeper stuff on here. The Sun Deep track is really nice.

ThumpRadio! (Balance Record Pool) - This is a tough one because all of the tracks are solid. I like the style & sound of Xplore. The breaks, the darker remix and the lighter remix. I can really use these tracks because they are so different and can really move a dancefloor and work great.

John Mack (Balance Record Pool) USA - Not playing but a very well done all around EP. This should be great success for Pure Substance.

Chloe Harris (Balance Record Pool) - Wave Motion - Beautiful, nice and groovy. Sun Deep - stunning stuff. I'm going to play this for my warm up at home sets. Genius Music. 8/10

Ron Levy (Shylock) Balance Record Pool - I guess Russia wins this round. Feeling 'Wave Motion' the most of the bunch.

Ryan Sullivan, South Africa - Awesome EP! All in all, this is a wicked package, a little something for every part of the evening which is wicked.
