“It’s life Jim, but not as we know it”.  After psych-rock, funk, italo, electro and.. well practically every genre in music that’s been around after the 70’s, you can now see a new artificial musical constellation in the skies. The upcoming example has been launched from somewhere in Amsterdam, and consists of raw electronic beats and some funky dubstep. Get your oxygen-tanks, strap on your anti-gravity boots and get ready for the last timewarp from 2009.

“Your favorite’s favorites of 2009″ is what Cinnaman, Shady, Brutuzz, Giographic and O.Boogie call this collection of 5 small mixes to celebrate the upcoming New Year’s eve.

Cinnaman launches off with some boom-clap beats, bleeps  and distorted arps. Fresh styles as we’re used from him, so ’nuff said. After dumping the initial boosters, Shady takes us smoothly out of orbit and into the dark void of space. From there on he slowly takes us into the dubstep nebula, where it’s time for Brutuzz to take over.

It seems Brutuzz has had enough of the endless darkness that surrounds the nebula. Ditching impulse speed he goes straight to warp 6, heading for a beautiful supernova with some blissfull 80’s electrofunk influenced stepping. While the rest of the crew is tightly strapped in, the passengers are now wiggin’ out.
After the supernova has died out Giographic relieves Brutuzz and, to make up for lost time, kicks it to warp 9 with harsh synths, steady drums and a lot of LFO’ing. Getting pushed back in your seat, the stars off the port-bow suddenly go from little white dots to bright long stripes.

Quickly entering the new constellation, it’s time for O. Boogie to explore for a suitable planet to descend to. Conducting surveys of each planet within the star system, Boogie encounters and debriefs us on everything that we’ve already heard and seen on the journey to this corner of the galaxy. Then, out of nowhere, appears a red dwarf of the likes we’ve never seen: That’s where we need to go. Setting down the spacecraft with a nostalgic tune, excitement buzzes through the ship. Everyone suits up and gets ready to depart…

…and that’s where the transmissions ended. I guess we’ll have to wait ’till next year to see what was on the planet’s surface.
