Enlisting two of the scenes heavyweights to go stateside for Live As... Volume 4 with John Askew (Los Angeles) and Sean Tyas (San Francisco), we are treated to a mammoth track listing all mixed live and direct for our pleasure. The concept behind the series is to capture the energy of the crowd, and feel a part of that energy and close as you will get to the club experience.

Previous instalments in the Series include the great Matt Hardwick, so its pure trance at its best. This time picking two of whom they consider the best in both djing and production talent right now I have to say I far preferred John Askew's CD. The energy of the tracks included were mixed up in a far more enthralling fashion, really building a flow and taking you on a journey that got better every time, and also mixing up a lot more tunes into the mix instead of simply end to end mixing. Sean Tyas's offering was, to be fair, good, but seemed a little boring and went for a simple mix, it didn't grab me or leave me with any real impression, whilst the tunes included were good, it just didn't feel as good.

It was also good to see some homegrown talent included (Ehren Stowers, The Viceroy, Sly One Vs Jurrane and Frase).

Another solid jam packed CD set of brilliant tunes to carry forward the Series.
