As a primary fixture of the progressive house scene Dynamic Illusion carved out his place in the underground long ago. With a career stretching over a decade the Hungarian artist has showcased his unique talents on a variety of quality imprints, including Silk Music and Spring Tube. A primary home was also found on Lithuania's Suffused Music where his vocal productions and classic progressive sound has flourished. It seems only fitting that after eleven years and 150 discography credits that Dynamic Illusion releases his much anticipated debut album through Suffused Music. A ten year project built on passion for the music with the end result being the ten track sound story 'Inside'.
Beginning with the mid-tempo piece 'Clear Blue Sky' it's an expansive and deeply emotional journey. Meditative lines and ghostly vocals converge for eight minutes of auditory nirvana before getting closer to the dance floor with 'Take Me Away'. With a nod to the deep trance pioneers of yesteryear Dynamic Illusion melts creamy melodies into your subconscious, as a rigorous beat bridges energy to other dimensions.
The vocal narrative beams brighter on 'Desert Rain' as a sonic swirl of colour paints a gorgeous atmospheric backdrop. The creative then tone shifts with 'Essence of Hungary' as a punchier, muted character takes a hold of the sequential storyboard. Airy harmonics, tribal infused drums and a string of cinematic breaks make for a ten minute microcosm of all things spiritual. Preceded by an organ led intro 'Rise Up' moves through broken rhythmic structures before kicking into full swing as rugged synths and delicate pianos provide the ultimate sonic contrast. Perhaps a hint of Paul Van Dyk at his creative peak and an ideal transition into the rougher, peak time 'Abrak a Hajnalban'. Meaty beats come in waves, charged with old school charm before a two minute centrepiece brings mysticism through spoken word and velvety harmonies.
The mood shifts yet again with the playful 'Impossible Is Nothing' as cosmic synths and spacey effects pave the way to a heartfelt centrepiece, as piano delays and wispy vocals get thrust into a euphoric finale. 'Love Story' meanwhile focuses on a more traditional vocal theme. Revealing, sentimental and with a touch of melancholia it sits as the album's showcase song so to speak and will certainly sit with you for a long while after. Going more subversive Dynamic Illusion shifts mood and tempo with the deep and housey 'Gravity'. The vocal narrative however continues, although in a much less distinct fashion, wispy and dubby at times before opening up during an interlude of warm breakbeats and radiant textures. The journey concludes with 'World Wide', with an appropriate tempo shift into laid back beats and luminous melodies. Childhood motifs only add to its playful nature and perhaps present some of the LP's most humanistic qualities, which in turn resonate deepest at its reflective conclusion. A brilliant collection of music from an artist who has certainly cemented his place in progressive house history.
