After hearing the probspot mix of isle dauphine by recluse, i was intrigued into what this 5 track EP would sound like. Probspot appears to have come out of no-where, and suddenly is hitting the EDM world in a big way already. With the track blueberry singed to Armada and now he's been requested to do a remix on the Anjuna imprint to rework the follow-up single to Endre's Kallocain entitled 'I Kill For You', I imagine we will be seing alot more of probspot, and thankfully to! The sound is unique, melodious and pleasing to the ear!
Foreplay
As featured on Above & Beyond's Essential Mix (06.06.04) as the second track, this an uplifting melodic affair, which sounds very housey and bubbly all the way through. It's a feel good track, which slowly brings in the tune, and eventually at the breakdown a twisting whirly sueaky but melodic sound (best i can describe it) joins the party which really makes this one to hum along to. IMO this is very Junkie XL like, quite similar in style and prodcution, a tad more melodic. Without a doubt this is what the EP is all about, hence the title of the EP, expect to have this one playing over and over on your system, and expect the DJ's to be dropping this one alot over the summer period. Safe for house/trance and prog lovers alike!
Bobcat
Even though i'd normally think of this as the b-side to foreplay, i can't in this instance as this is another outstanding tune and to be honest, it isn't a b-side as this is an EP and each tune is equal in it's own way. An interesting build on this one, this track was written very well indeed. I might have wanted to hear it produced slightly differently, but there again, the tune is pretty awesome in its own way anyway! It's hard to describe this one, better to hear for yourself!
Midnight
A very electro-ish start, awith a deep moody bassline, before the melody fades and a warm pad backs the sweet percussion on this one. A few more melodic elements and it flows beautifully for a good seven minutes or so. It doesn't particularly evolve in any way, but i think that this is the point of the track and it's place on the EP. It's kept short and sweet, so it doesn't become boring. an interesting tune that compliments the others well.
Discoteque
Probably my second fave to foreplay. A melodious track that has all the hallmarks to have been released as a track on it's own. Doesn't quite have the originallity found in foreplay, but indeed a stormer of a track imo!
Satisfaction
I really like this one and not sure why that had it excluded from the vinyl release over either midnight or bobcat. However as a CD man, it was no problem and i was luck enough to get it. Keeping the tempo of the EP up to speed, satisfaction is another lovely track to groove to.
Looks nice, very nice even, I'm buying for sure! But where the hell is Blueberry, the track that got him first to my attention?

edit: bah, beat me to it. 
As for Probspot, all the productions I've heard sound way too much like the infamous mcprog that Armin and Markus Schulz bore the fuck out of me with nowadays, so can't say I'll bother with this.
what about Flatline? now that's a fuckin tune!

also due :-
Recluse-Isle Dauphine(Probspot remix)
Young Parisians feat Ben Lost-Jump the next train(Probspot remix)
Pete Lazonby-Sacred Cycles(probspot remix)
i do recommend to check out his remix of antiloop - catch me, this is how probspot sounded in his pre prog/mp3.com days
lol ,everyone keeps askign about blueberry- but i already answered that question in my original post 
i'm totalyl addicted to this solely for foreplay tbh!
if you only check out one track, make sure it is foreplay (as played on the above & beyond esssential mix)
Too much text so people don't notice
Foreplay is amazing.. curious to hear the others!
Good upcoming producer!
I heard a couple tunes off the EP, and obviously been in love with Foreplay since March. My favourite Probspot remix to date is his remix to Powerplant - Turn It Into Gold. Quality remix...
probspot is great! a little disappointing blueberry isn't on this CDR tho. nevertheless great tunes!
This is a little off subject regarding the Foreplay cdr but has anyone heard Probspot - Blueberry (LikWit & Espen Remix)?
I think its a sweet remix to a already classic song (imo). It gives the song more life to go with the incredible melody.
