Enter a higher state of consciousness
Scot Project 'W5' (Waiting For) (Outburst Records)
Although he played a lead role in starting the movement for edgier electronic music, hard trance legend Scot Project’s sound now comprises a diverse fusion of progressive, electro and trance. It should come as no surprise, then, that the follow-up to his ‘Acid Air Raid’ collab with Mark Sherry is a unique mixture of hard tech trance with warm, distorted analogue leads, pounding basslines and house-like vocals paying homage to the scene he helped shape back in the mid-90s.
