Various - 100% Top 20 Vol. 1 (Electromode)
The 100% brand that has established itself as the premier double CD compilation of the most current pop hits is now even better with 1 CD containg all the hits at a great price! The entire look and feel of the albums have been re-vamped with a dynamic new artwork makeover, clearly communicating exactly what you can expect to find on the album. 2011’s second 100% release features the absolute latest songs that are charting on Pop-Radio worldwide with crystal clear productions.




Kaskade - Dynasty (Just Music)
Ryan Raddon a.k.a. Kaskade has earned his spot in the energetic and flamboyant world of house music, and rightfully so. His steady rise in popularity can easily be attributed to the quality and production polish that he applies to everything he touches. While Dynasty is not your traditional Kaskade album (in that it is a bit more glitzy and less distinctive than his past, more subdued and chilled efforts), it does resemble his recent work with deadmau5. Dynasty presents a collection of lush house tracks that are infused with vocal-laden melodies and addictive interludes, showcasing Kaskade’s shift in a new direction with more acoustic elements while maintaining his trademark sounds. This album does not lack for thrills and generates plenty of buzz on its own.
