A premiere for this successful compilation series, the 6th issue comes out with 2 audio CD’s and a DVD part which features clips of some of the represented artist. Nothing has changed regarding the concept of this comp series though, this DCD set got once again compiled by the guys and gals of the well-known Hardbeat Promotion agency. Also nearly without any surprises are the names of the featured bands on here. This comp tries to spin a connection between diverse electronic-driven music styles in between Electro/Industrial, Techno and Alternative. So you shouldn’t wonder too much if you can check out some tunes of among others like SCOOTER (!!!), ZEROMANCER, IAMX or NITZER EBB. The problem with this label info sheet belongs on the fact, that they like to rate acts like DISKONNEKTED, CRYO, AMNISTIA, PAINBASTARD or PROCEDD as being newcomers. Well, those acts are still a "small number" when it comes to start comparisons to the above mentioned mega-selling acts, but at least also they can’t be called "underground" or "newbies". Real new and inexperienced acts however don’t get any real chances in the play-lists of the DAC-voting DJ’s. The acts presented on here can count to get backed up by a financially strong label, which is able to pay for advertisements in the big German print-magazines like Zillo, Sonic Seduce, Orkus of Gothic. You as being the listener and possible purchaser of this compilation set should have this in mind. But not too much negativity here, since some good pearls can be found. PATENBRIGADE WOLFF, recently quite active with a new album, have to be named for their awesome and surprising harsh remix of "Demokratischer Sektor". Also worth a mention is – as usual – the Austrian duo of MIND.IN.A.BOX with their Short Storm Mix of "What Used To Be" – not new, not exclusive – but a great example how to combine traditional Futurepop with upper-class synth play. GRENDEL is another winner with the X-FUSION Remix on "Hate This", as this was expected. Though I couldn’t find myself too much comfortable with TECHNOIR, the remix of MESH on their "Dying Star" is a valuable addition and a fine example for experienced Synth-/Futurepop programming abilities. Those are the outstanding pieces on CD 1, while CD 2 has lesser interesting content to offer. PROCEED like it "Laut", that’s quite okay and will satisfy the fiends of traditional NEP-releases. Both XOTOX and NOISUF-X representing the spearhead of the ProNoize label and both do fine here, too. Nothing surprising new from acts like HOCICO, HEIMATAERDE or PAINBASTARD, which we haven’t heard multiple times before, but all of them are still fair enough in their style. As usual I print the track list of this compilation inclusive the track list of the DVD, which isn’t unfortunately part of the content of this promotional edition. As you see, here are a lot of favorites presenting mostly rare recordings or unreleased stuff. But if you’re seriously watch out for something new, then this compilation is maybe the wrong addition on your "must-purchase-this" – list.
