About:
Ralph Kyau and Steven Albert, known collectively as Kyau & Albert, are German producers who started their collaboration in the mid-90's. Since their first collaboration in "Let Me In" back in 1996, this act has exploded and come up with a string of hit after shimmering hit. They have also, time and again, concocted delicious remixes for tracks from trance' biggest artists, including Cressida, Above & Beyond and Lange.
Marking their 15th year together, Kyau & Albert have come up with a series of releases which were aptly and simply titled 15 Years. Each release contain snippets of Kyau & Albert's previous tracks (two tracks per release) remixed by the likes of Blake Jarrell, Marc Marberg, Super8 & Tab and Dennis Sheperd. The first of the these was launched on April 11 with Mat Zo spinning a mix for "I'll Be There For You"; currently it's on their fifth edition.
Sounds Like:
If this were the final release in this series, Kyau & Albert definitely did it in style. Two of trance' hottest acts in Tritonal and Arty rendered remixing duties in this massive release.
Arty's take on Are you Fine saw a downtempo from the original mix' 138 BPM to 130. The original is something you can picture being dropped in the middle of a relatively upbeat set whereas the remix is more apt to open an act.
Tritonal's signature sound is written all over their mix of Once In A Life, adding a dash of electricity to the previous club mix.
Recommendation:
Personally, I'm a huge fan of this series, most notable of which was the remix of Super8 & Tab of "Velvet Morning" in the third release. But one can't deny that this latest release is a class act. So is a Part Six remotely possible at this time of year? Most of us Kyau & Albert fans would not complain at all! For the meantime, this latest release was launched on November 11 and very much available for download from your favorite music portals.
