VARIOUS — Sound Of Poldon 2

Sound of Poldon returns with its second instalment — a signal broadcast straight from Poland’s club underground, where digital interference meets the memory of dancefloors. This time, the compilation is charged with a spectrum of club frequencies: spacey tech house, emotional neo-progressive, peak-time rave and hypnotic trance. All of it filtered through Polish singalongs, raps and spoken word. Alongside tracks from label founders Pankoff and DJ Varius Trax, the transmission also welcomes Seliga, Julia Rover and Anomia.The EP opens with a heavy-hitting statement from the label owners. Pankoff and DJ Varius Trax know exactly what the titular prima ballerina needs to slip into a breakbeat-fuelled trance. That is precisely what “In Your Eyes” is about — a headlong journey into the unknown, where a broken groove leads straight into the heart of the dancefloor haze.“Let Love Burn” is a variation on a Polish rock classic from the ’90s, forever associated with a certain pack of wolves. Once heard, the words “Aborygen, aborygen…” will stay lodged in your memory, painting the image of a fast-paced musical rollercoaster ride deep into the jungle — somewhere between guitar echoes, a club-ready pulse and euphoric chaos.Side A closes with “Splash”, a rave missile accelerated to supersonic speed and drenched in a dense cocktail of distinctive rap and acid inclinations. Sharp basslines, distorted textures and relentless momentum make it impossible not to feel that mystical shiver.Side B begins with a club-oriented remix of Julia Rover’s smash hit “Co z Tobą?” (“What’s Up with You?”), delivered by label veteran Seliga. He manages to transform the original into a dancefloor bomb, pulsing with life through punchy stabs and cascading progressions. Certified heater!The EP closes with “Zjawisko ufologiczne” (“UFO Phenomenon”) by Anomia, making his absolute debut on Trance-Atlantyk. This cosmic tech-house slapper is densely interwoven with spoken word about mysterious visitors from other planets, while a pulsating bassline drives its utterly infectious atmosphere. Deep, hypnotic grooves and alien transmissions form a sonic message seemingly destined for unknown galaxies. Extraterrestrial civilisations are probably dancing to this one.
