Av: Spring 2013 - Thoughts

It’s been a while since I've reviewed music, but today I’m listening to something that’s certainly worth the mention. Instead of an album, were going to look at a mix, Av - Spring 2013, which is largely Progressive House. It’s new, and features some of the coolest new non-commercial tracks.


- Artist: Various Artists
- Mixed By: Av
- Album: Spring 2013
- Release Date: Apr 11, 2013
- Genre: Progressive House

Like any good speech, movie or piece of interest, it’s all about the opening, and the opening track of Av – Spring 2013 alone is guaranteed to leave you floored. Its perhaps one of the most likable and catchy tracks I've heard in the recent months, having a nice mixed mood that will make you feel comfortable even if you’re not into electronic music, while setting you up for more. Just 5 seconds into the mix, expect to be in love with its beachy calming mood. As it picks up pace, you will come across rhythm and beats that are reminiscent of the trance classic Three Drive on a Vinyl.

The first track transition starts around 6:30, and you can expect for it to be smooth and seamless. The second track has the more traditional chillout sound, and sounded like something I’m used to hearing. The track that kicks in at 15:46 is quite easy going and likable. Stay tuned and you’ll find the track at around 24:00 to be groovy, and don’t be surprised if you find yourself moving to the beats. At around 38:40 you’ll be introduced to some gentle vocal trance. While I have not covered all the tracks or gone into much detail, I’ll leave it to you to give it a listen and form an opinion. The mix closes at 44:31 on a pleasant note as the final track ends. If you’re in the mood for some relaxed Progressive House, you’ll enjoy Av - Spring 2013.

My Recommendation: Hear It (The opening track by itself makes it all worth it)
