Scandinavian trance compiled by
DJ Bakke.

Bakkelit is the new compilation from Spiral Trax. Here, with a few exceptions, we move away from the established Swedish acts, and on the other hand, give some fresh talent a chance. The album has been compiled by DJ Bakke, a 26 year old promising Swedish DJ that has been a Spiral Trax DJ for some years now. He has also been involved in the production of some tracks on Noma's first album. DJ Bakke is a regular guest at parties in Germany, Switzerland, Denmark and of course all over Sweden.

The compilation begins with Antoine with his unique techno and jazz inspired trance sound that makes him a very interesting act to keep an eye on for the future. 'Straight' is somewhat more laid back than his previous release on Spiral Trax earlier this year. Logarhythmic is a collaboration between two experienced producers: Morg, also known as Katayama, and Human Blue. Rocket Ride has already proven itself as a definite party tune in Sweden with its spoken rocket launch countdown sample. All in Swedish of course!

Rikard Ligander, aka R, is also a new producer, who has a long history as a music technician and is one of the best Thrash Metal drummers in Gothenburg. He used to play in a band called Pagandom that was touring around quite a bit in Europe in their days.

The CD continues with Moonstomping by Noma that's taken from his last single. Next out is Matenda with a new track called Stormchaser, a bit tougher than his usual morning sound. 'Calming Fender' is a beautiful guitar tinged morning tune by Chromosome; a duo from the middle of Sweden that already have been creating quite a buzz DJ-ing at underground parties around the world. Professor Kompressor is another talented progressive producer from Gothenburg to watch out for.

Birtik and Artax, together with Chromosome, can be considered to represent the new psychedelic sound coming from the heart of Sweden. Lars from Artax is also the younger brother of Jonaz Bergwall; a former member of Logic Bomb.
