To introduce John '00' Fleming is like introducing water to fish -
what can be said about the guy that hasn't been said before? However,
what needs to be repeated again and again about this pillar amongst
pebbles to past, present and future generations of punters and
critics alike is the fact that John '00' Fleming is one of the very
few people in the international Dance scene that commands such
deserved respect and well-earned kudos from the mainstream and
underground communities that make up the global Trance community as
we know it, which is no mean feat when you consider how explicitly
sharp the knife runs through the heavily segregated Progressive and
Psychedelic Trance movements. In layman's terms, what you get from
John '00' Fleming is that rarest of genuine facts found in DJ land -
a true unifier of wildly diverse cultures. If there was ever one
definition that correctly describes this man, then this has to be it.
And there's no better way to back up the aforementioned statement
than John's output found withinFektive's debut compilation 'UNFOLD'.
From the innovative origami-inspired sleeve artwork right down to the
incendiary contents compiled and mixed within the two CDs that make up
this release, 'UNFOLD' is meant to represent everything that has
catapulted John'00' Fleming amongst the world best deck spinners,
regardless of any genre. If six consecutive years in DJmag's Top 100
poll, hisTop 20 ranking on the avidly followed Trance Addict website
and countless testimonies to his club-filling abilities by punters
worldwide haven't convinced you yet, then this compilation will.
Featuring sizzling tracks from acts such as Infected Mushroom,Astrix,
Wizzy Noise, Pete Gawtry, Alex Morph and John '00' Fleming himself,
'UNFOLD' bridges the gap between Progressive TranceandPsy-Trance over
two CDs with a continuity that has to be heard to be believed, warming
up and energizing the listener in equal and effective measures.
'UNFOLD' not only marks the arrival of the Fektive imprint upon UK
shores with a flourish, but also thepossible arrival of the best Trance
compilation of 2007. A bold statement indeed, but an assured one
nonetheless!
