The Pharmacy Music label is the imprint of US Trance genius Christopher Lawrence and although he is originally American his very own label is based in Australia. This is the seventh release on the label since its birth in April last year and although that might not sound many it’s a label of quality over quantity. Focusing on cutting edge progressive and Trance styles this latest release brings together the skills of Jay Selway and Magnus. Magnus has already had a release on the label and is a stateside Trance specialist based in Seattle. Jay Selway is another American Trance producer who hails from Washington, Maryland. The pair has only been releasing records for a few years and has a Psy style sound that fits in perfectly with the Pharmacy Music philosophy. This latest release is a real treat to the ear.

:: Big Break
:: Unfold

Big Break is a track that has been around for a while already as you may have heard it featured on 'Global Trance Grooves', a compilation mixed by John 'OO' Fleming and Christopher Lawrence. I remembered it from that compilation from the first moment I put this on and when a track sticks in your mind that’s always a good sign (Unless it's a cheesy TV jingle or something). This is progressive Psy tinged trance at its finest with a pumping flow and feel to it right from the start. The main quality in here is a deeply rich bass line that layers on top a rolling synth to go crazy for. The opening build up featuring that underlying layer fizzling on top of all the kicks, snares and deep pushing beat is pure joy to the ear. Short breaks introduce more patterns of electric sounds and feed in a stuttered break beat that drops right in the heart of the track. When then sounds build back and sweep up to a frenzy it takes on a difference direction and hits with a gripping, tone changing stab that adds some aggression into the mix. There is an outrageously rich sound in here full of Psy influence and its progressive flow leave you wanting more.

After a track like that the other side of the record is always not going to be as good. Unfold though is nothing in comparison to its fellow sibling as this one is full on Trance, Psycadelic style with a throbbing Goa sounding bass rumble growling all the way through. The beat is a warm and sticky with a soft flare on the kick that smoothes it out a little. This one is all about building up the energy and unleashing it throughout the track with chord sweeping melodies and space age riffs. It may not be the best track out of the two but its one the hardcore Psy fans will love for its bright energetic fragrance it spreads around.

Conclusion:
It's no surprise that Pharmacy Music has fast become a label I really get excited about when they announce a new release. It's fresh, different and above all its quality trance and progressive audio. Big Break is the track to go after in here as it's just superb. Two names to keep a close eye out for in the future as they have considerable talent at chucking together a record. Pharmacy thought, does the business yet again.
