Addex- Rumble in the Bronx

Friday, July 13, 2012





About:


It’s a full-force deep house line up for this Pesto Music release, “Rumble in the Bronx” by Romanian producer Addex! For the remixes, expect superb material from Greek producer Ilias Katelanos, Spanish deep-house-legend-in-the-making Alvaro Hylander, and one of the leading female artists in the deep and tech house scene, Nadja Lind.


Sounds Like:


The original mix of “Rumble in the Bronx” in terms of its composition is rather straightforward, yet its simplicity allows great emphasis on its irresistible groove brought about by its punchy hats and bouncy bass. Adding more dance-value to this wonderful deep house tune are the vocal snippets and timely placed chords. You may also find the flutes and guitar plucks on top as fascinating as they add an organic feel to the track.


Now on to the remixes, the first in line is the remix by Greek producer Ilias Katelanos. Guaranteed, when listening to an Ilias Katelanos production, it will take you on a bay-side trip by the tranquil mangroves or simply put, a nice warm tropical cruise! Ilias Katelanos perfectly blends his trademark sound with that of Addex’s and comes up with this smooth, warm deep house track.


Next up is the remix from DeepWit Recordings label co-owner, Alvaro Hylander. Alvaro lands heavy four-on-the-floor kicks together with his arsenal of lush, glowing, and reverberated sounds— turning “Rumble in the Bronx” into one main-room stomper!


Nadja Lind’s remix is the third and last remix on the package but it definitely isn’t the least. A work of elegance and emotion materialized through the rich atmospheric pads, female vocal snippets, and its overall levitating feel, this Nadja Lind Remix definitely gives this release a proper atmospheric reinterpretation.


Last in line is the Dub mix by Addex himself. This Dub caters a more organic approach to Addex’s sound.


Recommendation:


Overall, this has been a great release! The original mix and Alvaro Hylander’s remix really have the groove and will definitely make it to the dance-floors, while the Ilias Katelanos and Nadja Lind remixes take the alternate route in delivering a more atmospheric, light-on-the-ear sound. But if we were to pick out our favorites that match our musical preference, we’d go for the original, the Alvaro Hylander, and Ilias Katelanos remixes.

D'Flower feat. Gayana- Stand in the Rain

Saturday, July 7, 2012





About:


No other producer flawlessly blends soul-tingling saxophones and house music as D'Flower does! Russian DJ, producer, composer, and keyboardist Ivan Boyarkin aka. D'Flower  appears on Spring Tube with a wonderful release, "Stand in the Rain" featuring the vocals of Gayana. Aside from the original, radio edit, instrumental, and soul versions, "Stand in the Rain" garners two remixes from our favorite deep and soulful house producers, Estonia's Ricky Inch! 


Sounds Like:


Think of a perfect moonlit night by the terrace, with a soundtrack composed of pianos to accompany the night-breeze, funky bassline to give some groove, warm vocals to give life, and  four-on-the-floor drums to bind them all together. This somehow captures the true essence of D'Flower's "Stand in the Rain", but we're lacking something. Of course, the trademark soulful saxophone solo of saxophonist Daniil Dubrovsky which gracefully enters and sweeps through the double-beat breakdown, and back to the four-by-four! 


Ricky Inch once again showcases his "NuSoul" sound-- his signature blend of deep and soulful sounds that gives off this distinct classy, warm, and easy-going feel. True enough, his NuSoul reinterpretation of "Stand in the Rain" lives up to the hype!


The "Organic Dub" of Ricky Inch caters a more raw yet-- as stated in the remix title-- organic approach to "Stand in the Rain". With this sound, Ricky Inch takes elements from Latin beach house to acid house and from Chicago house to deep-tech-- a perfect alternative to the other soulful tracks in this release!


Recommendation:


Superb release! Ever since we started writing for D'Flower and Ricky Inch, we always looked forward to more from them. This release having Ricky Inch as a remixer was pretty much expected (or have been anticipated) for a long time now. Bringing both artists together is just awesome! We recommend getting all the tracks by D'Flower and Ricky Inch's NuSoul remix if you love soulful house. If you however are feeling a bit more adventurous when it comes to your musical palette, then Ricky Inch's Organic dub is for you!
