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.

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!

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

Absolutely brilliant!
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.

Above and Beyond Clone - in a good way
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. Read more

A bit more commercial?
Very good, a little less like the early Anjunabeats comps, but a very enjoyable listen still.

A good release from the anjuna stable
A good album, only let down for me was that it was unmixed but this may of been down to my own stupidity
