		Artist: Dual Density Title: Soul Ecstasy Format: CD Label: conzoom Records Genre: Electropop, Synthpop Release date: June 4, 2010

Dual Density is the creation of Tess Fries, Jonas Asp and Pontus Olsson, created in spring of 2008. During 2008 and 2009 Dual Density played a couple of live shows and received an overwhelming response. The peak was when they were asked to play with Swedish synthpop veterans S.P.O.C.K, Mobile Homes and Elegant Machinery at the legendary KB in Malmö. “Soul Ecstasy” is the debut album released this June on Conzoom Records.

The opener “Undress” together with the following “Soul Ecstasy” is two amazing tracks and it really make you wanna move. A great melodic structure and the chorus itches into your brain. The female vocals of Tess Fries is hypnotic and matches perfect with the music. “Mistress Sleepqueen” is another great electropop track while “Ego Girl” drops the tempo and draws more attention to the mainstream music. The danceable music continues with “Fly The Galaxy” and “No Regret” which is another two great electropop tracks with amazing background synthesizers. The next track “Where Are You Hiding” starts with a sound that reminds me of the good old C64 game Giana Sisters before the beating enters together with the voice of Tess. Another pumping dancefloor filler.

Even though the album doesn’t falls into the category of pure synthpop/electropop, it is really great. A lot of poppy and catchy melodies you wanna move to, just the thing that make me wanna like it and even if it draws pretty much flashbacks to the 90′s disco music I think it’s great. The music still works and is not outdated in anyway and with many tracks made for the dancefloors the music will definately make lots of bodies to move.

With a very fresh sound, influenced by the 80′s itali disco and the 90′s eurotechno together with the modern synthpop, Dual Density delivers a strong debut album. Itali Disco 2.0! Be sure not to miss Dual Density!
