Clubskills is the brainchild of Swedish electronic musician Jacob Herbst. The sound can be described as dancefloor oriented trance/dance/house music. I love everything he does, as it all has a clean sound and strong groove. There is a heavy europop influence, everything is based on strong melodic synthwork, and tasteful percussion. In a track like Running he lays down a midtempo groove that is simple but driving due to the way he works the synths. Fans of melodic trance music will really like what Jacob does. He took an older track of his, Be Free and updated the sound to give it a sound more akin to Paul Van Dyk or other progressive trance musicians. One of the things that Jacob is always good at is keeping the track clean, its tough when you layer about 20 or 30 synths overtop of each other.. but it all comes through and is really well mixed.
Recommended Tracks: Be Free (Both Mixes), Running, Misunderstanding (ALL 3 Mixes)
