Miqro feat. Ronar- You Will See

About:

Miqro-- one of Poland's hottest electronic music acts-- appears on Germany-based Solardish Records for a huge vocal release featuring Ronar, "You Will See"! Through his contemporary feel-good approach on deep and funky house music, Miqro has effortlessly garnered the respect from his home-country and has been successful in organizing Music Venue, the biggest afterparty of the Sunrise Music Festival.

"You Will See" garners a massive almost all-Polish line-up of remixers from Milkwish, Banana Groovz, Pete Grace, Roberto Bedross, Loui & Scibi, Novo, Viktor Drzewiecki, and of course, the heading tandem of Solardish Records-- Zweiklang Twins!

Sounds Like:

As mentioned, Miqro is known for his modern approach to deep and funky house music, and "You Will See" clearly demonstrates this with its flawless interplay of jazzy bass, funky guitars licks, deep-flowing Rhodes, and sharp echoing stabs. 

Jackie aka. Banana Groovz lands two superb cuts for this release and both are good ol' funky house! Housey pianos, ultra-groovy bass, and filtered chords-- this Banana Groovz remix is one floor-filler. Something to its essence, the Novo Classic Mix also showcases a high dance-value disco reinterpretation of the tune, while the Roberto Bedross comes up with a funky-tech remix that also caters a dreamy breakdown.

If you're feeling something louder and sharper-sounding, the Zweiklang and Milkwish remixes are definitely for you! 

Recommendation:

With 11 tracks on board, simply choosing one favorite track is a close-to-a-Herculean task, so to help you out in choosing tracks, here are our favorites: The original is given, no questions asked on that; for the remixes, we are leaning towards the remixes of Banana Groovz, Pete Grace, Zweiklang, and from Loui & Scibi! (But yes, our musical inclination may differ that is why you still really have to check out all the remixes in this package!)

"You Will See" by Miqro featuring Ronar will most likely end up in the prestigious dance-floors around the world but as far as we are concerned, this is going to our list of favorite releases of 2012!

Da Funk- Need For Faith

About:


Swiss producer and Acryl Music head honcho Da Funk, takes over for the label's golden release, "Need For Faith"! Acryl Music has been industry since 2004, but it is only now that the label releases its 50th release-- a clear sign that it's always quality over quantity for Da Funk and the guys behind the label. Together with the original, expect authentic deep house remixes from Si Brad (Simon Bradshaw), Pete Moss, Elmar Schubert, and Q-Burns Abstract Message.


Sounds Like:


"Need For Faith" caters the unifying sound of Acryl and the trademark fat analog bass driven sound of Da Funk. Aside from which, you can expect a smooth-flowing line-up of hazy, spherical, and echoing synths. 


Si Brad's remix spells vintage all over-- edgy discoid bass, deep atmosphere, and hypnotizing synths. Pennsylvania's Pete Moss drops a lush yet stubby remix of "Need For Faith", while German producer, Elmar Schubert turns over a chic and irresistible reinterpretation. For the last remix, "Need For Faith" falls onto the hands of Q-Burns Abstract Message as it turns into one intricate piece-- head-nodding stabs, tunnel-echoing atmospheric pads, analog bass all perfectly patched up together!


Recommendation:


We would not be wasting our time in writing a proper review of a release not worth recommending, would we? But we also couldn't help announcing our favorite picks in the release either! 


So here it goes: the original mix is fantastic-- it perfectly sums up what Acryl Music is all about. Much respect to Da Funk! For our favorite remix, it's got to be Elmar Schubert's: so seemingly simple (but we producers know it's not) yet its addicting groove is out of this world!

Dush feat. Mr. Maph- Turn it Around [Part 1]

Germany-based Solardish Records once released "Turn it Around" by Dush feat. Mr. Maph on their "Solardish Ibiza Sampler 2010", but this time around, it's back in full-force! The remix package from Solardish Records comes in two parts: part one having been released a few days ago contains the original mix, the Javier Varez remix, the Jeremy Juno & Bruze DAngelo Remix, and SBRO remix. The second part, to be released on September 12, will feature remixes from Stewart McCarthy, The Modular Deviant Device, and of course, the spectacular deep house tandem and Solardish Records owners, Zweiklang Twins! 


We were actually surprised to have found out that the person behind Dush is a good friend of ours. Denmark-based, deep house producer, label owner-- these things do sound familiar, don't they? But of course we wont tell you who he really is, so if you really want to know more about him, do some research! 


Turn it Around (Original Mix)
Dush teams up with Mr. Maph, a very talented Gospel-inspired vocalist who now resides in Marbella, Spain. The original mix is a melting pot of soulful vocals, deep cloudy atmosphere, and silky-smooth synths. If you are a seasoned deep house aficionado, you will know that this particular track is a track of quality. 


Turn it Around (Javier Varez Remix)
Hats-off to the Javier Varez remix, our favorite rendition in the entire package! Varez, now based in Madrid, delivers a stunning and glimmering remix of "Turn it Around". On a side note, Javier Varez also is the driving force behind Alma Soul Music. 


Turn it Around (Jeremy Juno & Bruze DAngelo Remix)
Chilled down yet groovy-- just how they do it in the cold north! Dutch producers Jeremy Juno and Bruze DAngelo also appear on "Turn it Around" Part 1 with a smooth-flowing head-nodding tune. 


Turn it Around  (SBRO Remix)
Now something from the UK, SBRO remixes "Turn it Around" as the last track in this installment. If there would be a dub version of "Turn it Around", this SBRO remix would perfectly be the one!




High-profile deep house artists and label owners coming together for "Turn it Around" the remix release-- things can't get any better than this! Catch part 2 soon!

Support from international DJs [Richie Hawtin, DJ Chus, Grant Nelson, Spiritchaser, Audiojack, Jon Pierce, Claude Von Stroke, Davidson Ospina] and international radio stations [Ibiza Global Radio, Global Dance Session, SSRadio UK, Deep Vibes Radio, Tunnel FM, Dinamo FM, Blue Racoon FM, Diversions Radio, Plastic Lounge, West Radio Greece, Rodon FM 95]

Deep Spelle- Wet Road EP

1. Wet Road feat. Gee

2. Wet Road feat. Gee (Helly Larson Remix)

3. The Way You Treat Me feat. John Juster

4. The Way You Treat Me feat. John Juster (HouseRiders Lovin' the Way Mix)

Just three days ago, the highly-anticipated fourth release on Denmark-based deep house label, DeepWit Recordings just saw light! We are, of course, talking about "Wet Road", a four-track release from French Quebec-based producer, Brice Martin-Spelle aka. Deep Spelle. In addition, DeepWit made sure that this package would get a decent set of remixers, and that is where the seasoned Helly Larson and the duo HouseRiders would come in! Take a deep breath because "Wet Road" will definitely take you deeper than you can ever imagine!


The first track we listened to was "Wet Road", and it really set the mood for this release. Take a track by Sebastian Davidson and Vincent Casanova, and inject multiple layers of hazy atmospheric pads-- you would get something like the original mix of "Wet Road". The Helly Larson Remix, on the other hand, lessens the atmosphere and adds more groove to the track. Both the original and remix versions of "Wet Road" are of pure quality, be sure to support both!


"The Way You Treat Me" comes in two variants, the original and the HouseRiders remix. The original also embodies Deep Spelle's lush deep sound, plus the subtle saxophone melodies that had been flawlessly incorporated in the track-- this truly is a deep house masterpiece. HouseRiders, a project by Deep Spelle himself and Jeff Fontaine, also put together a special remixed dubbed as "HouseRiders Lovin' the Way Mix" for the last track of this release. 


Does this last track give "Wet Road" the heightened close this release deserves? Check it out for yourselves, and send us some feedback!

Bruto Peroni- Go Slow EP

Bruito Peroni— hailed as one of the champions of the so-called new-school techno scene in Berlin— has landed on Sophisticate Recordings with his brand new release, Go Slow EP! To add spice to the release, label owner Alex V and Cleveland-based tech house artist, Marc Cotterell also contribute their respective remixes.

The original mix of Go Slow is a track packed with tech-injected sound, driving basslines, and glitchy vocals. Alex V’s remix, the second in line, contrasts the former with a wide array of glimmering melodies and smooth-flowing vibe. Marc Cotterell’s remix brings back the tune to tech territory but this time, darker and deeper!

Bruito Peroni’s Let’s Pretend gives the whole release a proper close with its one of a kind funky-tech sound. If you’re looking for something nasty, you gotta check this out!

2 Stupid Gods- In the Dziurka EP

2 Stupid Gods is not one of those costumed duos playing electro bangers in warehouse gigs. 2 Stupid Gods is actually a Polish duo made up of Piotr Bejnar and  Jacek Tworkowski who just released a splendid release, "In the Dziurka" on one of the world's most prestigious deep house labels, Night Drive Music!

Lukasz Seliga, another Polish artist, appears on this release as SLG! Seliga goes to the body-jerking side of tech as he unleashes his brilliant reinterpretation as second in the package.


In the Dziurka (Po-_On Remix)  
This remix is the proper, for the lack of a better term, "club mix" of the release with its loops and rejuvenating piano solo. Although the looping build-up is a bit lengthy, it prepares its listeners to the interplay of the said piano solo and the loops! Pure class.


In the Dziurka (Mikita & Juerga Remix)
Yet another duo of talented Polish producers joins the fun! Mikolaj Mikita and Kuba Juerga Maćkowski send in a stunning rework of the original. Remixed into something people can really dance to while at the same time retaining the essence of the original version of
"In the Dziurka"-- and this is the main reason why we find the Mikita & Juerga remix as our personal favorite! 


In the Dziurka (Piano Edit- Digital Only) 
Roughly a week ago the vinyl release of "In the Dziurka" hit the stores worldwide, and everyone loved the pink marble design of the vinyl. Now that the digital copies have reached the online portals, the guys behind 2 Stupid Gods have something in store for all you people who prefer MP3s over vinyls, and it's this magnificent piano edit! What do you think of this version? We would like to hear from you!

Simon Grey & Dave Storm ft. Nathalie Dorra- Signs

A couple of weeks ago, we were able to listen to the "Clazz EP"-- a special compilation made by Estonian producer, Ricky Inch-- and was released under Ceremony Records. This time around, we take a look at a fresh vocal release from the label: "Simon Grey & Dave Storm ft. Nathalie Dorra - Signs", with remixes from Deep Josh, Pete Gust & Lefthander, and Ricky Inch.

Signs (Original Mix)

German producer Simon Grey and label A&R manager Dave Storm kicks off a suave and jazzy track, "Signs" with Nathalie Dorra as vocalist. If you are a person who enjoys listening to funky anthems, mellow melodies, jazzy basslines, and soulful vocals, then you'll do good with this release!

Signs (Deep Josh Dub Mix)

Deep Josh also takes remix duties for "Signs" and here we have it, a warmer rendition of the track. The bustling percussions also are something to look forward to in this remix! 

Signs (Pete Gust & Lefthander Remix)

Pete Gust & Lefthander worked together to produce a downbeat and lounge version of the original. The Pete Gust & Lefthander remix caters emotionally-drawn piano melodies and a very suave guitar solo-- pretty impressive.

Signs (Ricky Inch Remix)

As always, Ricky Inch never fails to amaze his listeners with his juicy and bouncy jazz-infused sound! This remix is the opposite of the former remix because we get to hear upbeat and groovy basslines on this one. Aside from that, the filtered chords, guitar samples, and piano breakdowns bring the whole piece to perfection.

Amazing release right here. . .
