You're throwing the ultimate dance party and you need to know how Dutch Trance Force flows. OK. The first four tracks are friendly cocktails, smooth synths and female vox soaked in reverb. Folks will start grooving hard with the arrival of Cartel's "Moments," which makes way for "Absolute-Ly" from (ahem) Absolute. That's a dumb title, of course, but the dude jams. Only Dazzle's "Chaos Theory" brings it with more pop. Beyond that, Dutch Trance Force is really more about plateaus than ecstatic peaks.
