Dense - Revived Stones (2019)

Rich of emotions and textures, this new album from Dense promises a unique
listening experience. From downtempo breaks, to chill trance and his
chillgressive mastercraft sound, steps from bright melodic patterns but in
times flirts also hypnotic grooves, adding partly and proper doses of warm
vocals.

About Dense:
Dense, aka Christian Schoeps (Hamburg, Germany) is a well known ambient
progressive trance artist whose music is sometimes referred to as
chillgressiver - a combination of chillout and progressive trance. His project
with GMO (known as "GMO vs. Dense") successfully published several albums on
Altar Records.

Working as a DJ and musician since 1993 he's been spinning acidizing rhythms
and kicked the crowd with exhausting psychedelic trance music. Consequent
grooves with kickin' melodies shaped his sets on European dancefloors.
Successful with techno and ambient releases in the mid 90's, he's additionally
been working as a reporter and photographer for German music magazines like
Frontpage, X-Mag, Loop and others. Over the years Dense used to organize
several techno and trance events in Germany (D'vents).

In 2008 he refined his striking style of performing progressive ambient
music. Luckily he took his ability to play the right music at the right time
from the dancefloor to the chill out floor. Meanwhile Dense is one of the most
popular ambient DJs in Germany - performing chillgressive style.

Beside deejaying and after broadcasting the 6 a.m. Saturday morning chillout
radio show on Trancefan Radio for years, since 2010 his homebase is
Chromanova.fm, based in Berlin. He's responsible for the program on the
Chromanova.fm Chillout and Ambient Radio stream where you can catch him
exclusively on Sundays with his weekly four hour radio show "Chill On!", what
is part and parcel of ambient music scene by now and supported by all
important chill out labels.

The chillgressive project together with GMO is working well with the second
album release ??Tales From The Yellow Kangaroo??, out since September 2012 and
Equation??, scheduled for July 2014. Single tracks like "??Remount" or
?"Moonflower" have been released on compilations on Vimana Rec. and Altar
Rec., his latest solo album "Exhale" is out since July 2013. Meanwhile you'll
find several remixes and can expect his next album New Speak in September
2014.

Watch out for the next Dense DJ sets and live gigs.
