Review by Bonita Rose Kempenich

Album Review: Wardance by Greg Brookman & Danny Gilligan Released in 2010 under the UK-based label Vision Control, Wardance is an electronic album that dives deep into the pulsating realms of Hard House and Hard Trance. It’s not just another collection of beats; it’s a sonic journey crafted with precision by Greg Brookman and Danny Gilligan. This record doesn’t mess around—it grabs your attention from the first kick drum and refuses to let go. The title track, “Wardance,” stands out as a relentless anthem. Its driving basslines and razor-sharp synths create an almost hypnotic experience. You can practically feel the energy of a packed club floor while listening. What makes this track unforgettable is how it builds tension without overdoing it—just when you think it might explode, it pulls back slightly before hitting you again. It's clever stuff. The breakdown feels like a momentary breather before plunging you back into chaos—a reminder of why Hard Trance remains timeless. Another standout is the lesser-known but equally gripping "Pulse Driver." This one sneaks up on you. At first, it seems straightforward—a pounding rhythm layered with atmospheric pads—but then these unexpected melodic twists kick in. It’s got this raw, unpolished charm that somehow works perfectly within the polished production framework. Tracks like this make you realize the duo knows their craft inside out. They aren’t afraid to experiment while staying rooted in their genre. What’s impressive about Wardance is its consistency. Every track has purpose, contributing to the overall vibe rather than feeling like filler material. Sure, some transitions between songs could’ve been smoother, but hey, nitpicking aside, this album delivers where it counts—in pure, high-energy impact. Reflecting on Wardance, it strikes me how albums like this serve as time capsules for specific eras in dance music. Listening to it now feels like stepping into a different world—one where neon lights flash endlessly, and everyone moves in sync. But here’s the kicker: even though it was released over a decade ago, it still sounds fresh today. Maybe too fresh? Makes ya wonder if we’ve actually moved forward or if we’re stuck looping through the same beats forever. Either way, props to Brookman and Gilligan for creating something that refuses to fade quietly into obscurity.
