House music is a mystifyingly multitude of Electronica / Dance music with numerous degrees of specialization and nuances. Beats Per Minute (BPM), textural definition and use / non-use of vocals are but a few of the defining characteristics that divide such subgenres of House as Dirty House, French House, and Electro House. Refracture's 3-song CD EP, "Left for Dead," blends elements of different subgenres - most notably Electro House - meaning, the music has the requisite BPM's, is anchored by propulsive bass lines, and features the sonic balance / blend associated with the House styles. All 3 tracks are catchy, infectious, and danceable as all get-out (i.e., very danceable indeed!). The title track, "Left for Dead" kicks things off with a slow-build synth swirl that hesitates before exploding into an irresistible groove punctuated by sonic squeaks and squalls that drop out of nowhere, keeping the mix continuously fresh. "Space Riot" and "Energy Flow" are both more immediate and insistent, but no less engaging, and each makes a case for being the best of the 3 mixes on the CD. If you're a House music connoisseur you will make up your own mind about the House attributes and qualifications of Refracture's "Left for Dead" EP, but if you're an Electronica music fan I think you'll find this CD delivers where it counts: on the dance floor.

Ari Inkiläinen and his latest release, "The Shine (Lumi&Stars mix)," will bring listeners of the electronica scene to their feet. As a composer, Inkilainen has a talent for finding the right sounds and rhythms tailored for the club scene. Using sounds that are driven from synths and drum machines is no easy task, as the composer must play each track with precise timing and control to create the final song. You can hear the multi-layering Inkiläinen has embedded within this song with different types of synth string effects, while the drums keep a steady and solid beat. There is also a dynamic balance between the sounds as each string effect stands out as it takes the solo. The melody is catchy as it loops around with sounds that are vibrant and lively. Fans of Moby or Vangelis will thoroughly enjoy Ari Inkiläinen's "The Shine (Lumi&Stars mix)" with its club scene sounds and grooving beats.

Thomas Donovan's latest CD, "Xtended.dance," furthers the prolific Electronica artist's exploration of synth-pop dance music. On this 8-song offering, only the lead track (and single) "Pump Up the Love" is entirely new, as the rest of the disc is comprised of remixes of club favorites, "Colour," Calling Around the World," "Trapped," and "Total Controller." "Pump Up the Love," though, like "Trapped" or "Colour," evokes as well the hook-centric quality of UK-style Top 40 pop to fine effect. "Total Controller," in fact, offers up a rousing sing-along chorus not unlike The Killers' "Somebody Told Me." Throughout "Xtended.dance," Donovan demonstrates an uncanny knack for affecting the perfect vocal touch as his supple and emotive voice bends, swoops, and glides over synth-drenched Electronica that makes this CD as Top 40-worthy as it is danceable.

Hijirah Kem's album, "Up Against My Soul," is an eclectic and edgy electronica experience. Kem describes herself as a "multi-media artist" who utilizes high-tech compositional collaging as her instrument and formula for channeling creativity. The music is complex in its individual and collective layering yet the elements mesh, creating a futuristic sound that gels. "Sand in my Head" includes an almost droning tone, created by a digital wind instrument that exudes an enticing and mysterious ambiance. "Chasing Wormholes" is a perfect title for the final song as resonating synths fall into rubble and re-emerge reborn. The album carries its own inertia and remains engaging through the end. Go on an escapade with Hijirah Kem and her latest disc, "Up Against My Soul," she'll show you the way.

Didge Extreme / David Blonski, talented composer and recording artist, serves up another terrific album titled "Into the Night - Music for the Road," comprised of energetic grooves of electronica and fusion dance music. Blonski's use of the didgeridoo is not only amazingly creative, but the way he incorporates the unique sound of this instrument with synthesized sounds is incredible. The first track, "Twilight Begins," launches off this disc with vigorous beats and the haunting tones of the drone-like didgeridoo with a mysterious charm. Exotic flutes on "Cruise Control" are rich in flavor and reverberate with an ambiance that is lively and full of life. You will sense the Middle Eastern tonality of the percussive drums on "Desert Crossroads" as it takes listeners to what seems like an oasis in a hot desert. "Alien Highway" and "Area 51" are titles that describe exactly what these songs would bring to mind: supernatural and mysterious sound effects. Take a listen to Didge Extreme / David Blonski's album "Into the Night-Music for the Road," and you will journey through sounds of worldwide instruments with vibes that are invigorating and sure to please.

From the city that brought us Wayne Newton and The Killers, Las Vegas' own Warped Angel are back with their newest disc "I Wanna Dream." The band is comprised of singer/songwriter Lisa Chambliss and musician/songwriter Chris Chimo. Together, they have created an album filled with industrial and electro angst. Don't take that last sentence lightly, Chambliss' voice is chocked full of emotion and drive. "We use the power of emotion to write the lyrics and compose the music," says Chambliss and that can easily be heard on the title track "I Wanna Dream." There are also some hints of Nine Inch Nails hardcore tones scattered about this disc. Just listen to songs like "Distance" and "My War" as they ooze that NIN sound. If you are into that Euro/Industrial rock sound, than Warped Angel is a safe bet.

Imagine if the members of The Cure decided to replace lead singer Robert Smith with a sexy female vocalist. If you can't, then perhaps listening to "Whitelite Britelite" by Auradrone will help you see the big picture. Hailing from Los Angeles, the band is fronted by the very talented Jon Mack. Her vocals are filled with tasty lyrics and sex appeal to the max. Just give a good listen to songs like "Auto Erotic" and "A Channel," and listeners will be able to hear her vocals at their best. The band is also very good and is great at changing the style of songs while still keeping that "Auradrone" sound throughout it all. "Indigo Child" is both classic 80's and super erotic at the same time, so be sure to give that track a few spins. If you love The Cure or the sound they represent, give Auradrone's "Whitelite Britelite" a good listen.

Gaga Records produces the art of house music very well in their latest compilation "Gaga in Da House." This album features tracks from select artists which Gaga Records claims "They make the difference in house music." That bold statement rings true in songs like "Angel Eyes" a Viken Mardikian remix that features a smooth sax layered on top of a funky groove. In a bit of a twist from the norm, "Voodoo Essence" brings more of an African tribal vibe to the mix and is a welcome change. It is also a style not commonly found in the house genre and helps bring this disc to a different level. "Gaga in Da House" is a great listen and could very well be featured in any DJ's live club mix.

Who would have thought electronica and relaxing could be used in the same sentence? Well, it can when you pop in "EthnikElectrika" by Greg Simon. The talented musician does an outstanding job with his most recent album by fusing ethnic sounds with beats you would hear on any weekend in a club on Sunset Blvd. "La Bossa Love" features some magnificent melodic Spanish guitar work and sets the tone for the whole record. Branching away from the "Spanish" tones, Simon throws in some nicely played Indian ragas on the track "Joyfest." If you are someone who loves those classic "Buddha Bar" collections, than you will love hearing "EthnikElectrika."

Aina's latest release "Little Escapades" is composed of an alternative/pop/electronic, yet unique, sound. As a seasoned solo artist, Aina confidently expresses her vocal maturity with style and grace. Her vocal range is truly amazing as you can hear her silky voice gliding from the lower to upper register. On the title track "Little Escapades," her emotional, strong, and powerful vocals intensify the mood of the lyrics. Mysterious string sound effects enhance the delicate and mystifying vocals on "Sitting Knitting Stars" as the song has an eerie overtone to it. The overall production is well orchestrated as instrumental sounds are skillfully layered over the melodic vocals. "Little Escapades" is one album well worth hearing, especially if you like alternative/pop music featuring sleek female vocals.
