Product Description
CD Description
Polish star, Krzysztof Pretkiewicz, aka Nitrous Oxide, made his debut on Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats label back in 2006 with "North Pole/Frozen", and has since come to further international attention, with support from Tiesto, Armin van Buuren, Paul van Dyk, Ferry Corsten, Markus Schulz, and many more, for tracks including "Magenta", "Red Moon Slide", and "Cornflake". Dreamcatcher is Nitrous Oxide's first full-length album and brings together some of his previous highlights ("North Pole" / "Frozen" in an exclusive 2010 edit), alongside a wide range of new tracks.

I've been a fan of the Anjunabeats albums for a while now & this one was highlighted as a recommendation on Amazon. I've now had it for a few weeks and have listened to it non-stop. Gorgeous & dramatic melodic trance, quite simply a most have album. Can't wait for the next one

Nitrous Oxide has established himself as one of Anjunabeats top artists over the last few years and often appears on live DJ sets with Above & Beyond and other members of the Anjuna crowd. You can understand why, with this debut album presenting a really good snapshot of Oxide's capabilities.
It is, in short, melodic trance, the sort of trance music that can uplift you without the need for vocals. There are some vocals on a few tracks, but gladly they generally blend in with the keyboards and synths rather than strangling them with overpowering screeches. The music is powerful and packs a bit of a punch, although perhaps not as much as you might expect - Oxide's sets are usually filled with hard-trance, or at least that's what it sounds like when you're standing next to huge speakers. This isn't gentle or hard trance, and fits somewhere in between.
The album as a whole may not stick in the memory, which may sound like a criticism, but there are some excellent tracks on there. A few are little flat perhaps, but the majority are passionate and pure-trance smashes. 'Downforce' and 'Endorphine' fit this bill perfectly. I should also mention that the version of 'North Pole' is different to the one we heard on Anjunabeats Vol 4 - it's slower and contains a more sophisticated use of the bass. It's difficult to call but I think I prefer this version!
It's certainly an album I would recommend for trance music lovers, and I sense I don't need to persuade followers of Anjunabeats to give this one a listen!

This is a seriously good CD! When I played it to some friends they all went online and bought it straight away. Totally brilliant dance music. Buy.

I just whizzed through this on Spotify. It's a real dead-ringer for (no, not love) Above and Beyond, so no wonder they signed him.
He's coaxed some great sounds out of his synth/s - hardish but melodic beats; and brilliant pastoral, pseudo-classical washes of sound. These are blended throughout the album, with 2 female vocal tracks and one male vocal track. Even the female vocalist sounds like AAB's Oceanlab's Justine, which is also good.
Not too proggy, housey or tribal; and not too tuneless and hard. I'm pretty sure that, after a few listens, I'll be buying this. It harks back to earlier, more melodic sounds such as on the early Anjunabeats volumes, with VERY typical AAB arrangements and instrumentation - tinkling piano, occasional smooth and breathy female voices (would have liked more), waterfalls of beatless synths, driving percussion sometimes - all making a great whole.

I was looking for some trancy type stuff when I stumbled across this. Nitrous who? is what I thought. Buy it, for a few quid you will not be disappointed.

Polish artist/producer Nitrous Oxide has already been featured on some of Anjuna Beats finest mix compilations with particular attention payed by Anjuna head honchos Above & Beyond.
From the opening Alderaan it is clear that this is top draw trance of the kind favoured by uber DJs like PvD and Tiesto. Particular favourites include North Pole (released as single) and Downforce both of which are on the high energy side of trance. This album grows and grows and will be receiving heavy rotation throughout the summer.
Don't miss out - This is a gem!

Very good, a little less like the early Anjunabeats comps, but a very enjoyable listen still.
