Addex- Rumble in the Bronx

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.

Onur Ozman- The Voice of You

About:


Just a few weeks after the release of "He Was Young" on Ready Mix Records, Turkish soundsmith Onur Ozman is back on the limelight with a grandiose release, "The Voice of You"! Why this release in particular is a huge one, let us explain: Aside from it being the second release of Onur Ozman under Ready Mix Records for the month of May, "The Voice of You" showcases the grand debuts of the legendary Jean F. Cochois aka. The Timewriter, whose name has been a staple in the industry for the past fifteen plus years, and Addex, one of Romania's top deep house artists!


Sounds Like:


When we talk about contemporary deep house sound, Onur Ozman is definitely the name that first comes to our mind . His artistic and dramatic approach to deep house production has been unparalleled, take "The Voice of You" for instance. This original mix puts together a unique feel through the interplay of different elements like the panning vocal snippets, the chic-mannered pianos, the stubby groovy bass, and the thin-layered atmospheric pad that sets things afloat. 


The remix by The Timewriter exhibits a more powerful approach to the sound of "The Voice of You". Dense, heavy kicks and thin layers of filtered samples from the original start off the track as the extremely groovy bass heats things up. The Timewriter remix is definitely a straight-up deep house floor-filler!


For something light but still body-moving, here is the Addex remix. Aside from the infectious grooves from the bass and snappy drum-work, the Rhode slicks will really make you bust a move!


Recommendation:


"The Voice of You" is one fantastic release-- definitely one of the best so far this year from Ready Mix Records in terms of dance-value and creativity. We really recommend getting all the tracks, but among the three tracks in this release, the Addex remix has to be our pick.
