Northern Exposure 2: West Coast Edition

Good A smoother, steamier slice of house techno, this installment of the Northern Exposure series is a soft and sexy continuous mix that cruises comfortably in the fast lane without offering any standout moments of delirious excitement.

Centering themselves firmly in the desert- trance arena, Sasha and Digweed opt for dreamy over direct every time.

LSG s Netherworld, Taucher s Waters, and the William Orbit and Spooky mix of Sven Vath s An Accident in Paradise are all choice moments to get lost in, while Humate s 3.2 is a warm and cozy chunk of ambient techno.

Overall, this edition of Northern Exposure is not the most essential member of the collection, but it does provide more than enough fluid trance-techno moments to satisfy dedicated fans.
