Zas & Sanze presents Mindgamers- Hold You

About:


No fancy stuff, no cheese, just pure tech music from Zas & Sanze as they present yet another main room floor-filler on Bonzai Progressive as Mindgamers entitled, " Hold You"! Bonzai Progressive made sure that this release gets proper remixes, hence a remix from Stefano Noferini, one of the hottest names in the scene right now (yes, we would like to emphasize that), and another from fellow-Bonzai artist and veteran electronic musician, Fab Code.


Sounds Like:


As expected from the original: heavy kicks bulldozing their way throughout the track and deep grinding bass that gives way to the intoxicating vocal loop. Prepare yourselves to keep grooving throughout the entire 6:59 minutes of "Hold You"! 


First remix in line is from one of Italy's finest, Stefano Noferini. The irresistible groovy stab-bass interplay make this track gold. Aside from that, its massive breakdown definitely is a bonus! 


Fab Code starts his remix with a neat arrangement of punchy percussion and solid kicks, which then progresses into a deep, head-nodding tune. Fab Code's remix, although a bit laying low when it comes to energy, still is a track for the dance-floor: high dance-value, good groove.


Recommendation:


"Hold You", in all its forms, is a release we wouldn't think twice in playing in a main room event. If you are a techno and tech house DJ, these tracks should be a staple in your sets!

D.J. Generous- Wonder Why

Play Digital recently released "Wonder Why", a sun-drenched soundtrack from Russia's very own D.J. Generous! Celebrating a bright career as a sound-smith, Dima Jr. Worcestershire, the man behind the guise D.J. Generous, is indeed one of the figures in the scene who-- through his Ibiza-influenced progressive house sound-- had sealed the gap between European and Russian dance music .

For D.J. G's debut on Play Digital, "Wonder Why" spawns remixes and dubs from three prominent names in the industry: Russia's Vladimir "PROFF" Ershov, Canada's Derek "Dezza" Silvester, and Italy's Emiliano "Emijay" Nencioni and Giacomo "G.o.d.i" Godi, the two guys who make music with the guise, Supernova.

Wonder Why (Original Club Vocal / Dub)

When I first found out that D.J. Generous is a Russian producer, I did not think twice in assuming this release as something worth the positive review.

The original versions of Wonder Why really bring out the true feel-good essence of progressive house from its simple yet upbeat basslines to its smooth-sounding arps. Moreover, if you are a fan of the vocal mix, then I am pretty sure you would agree if I say the vocals effortlessly bring things to the brighter side of sound. Having said these, I personally find "Wonder Why" as one of the best vocal progressive house tracks this year.

Wonder Why (Supernova Mix / Use the Chord Mix)

G.o.d.i. and Emijay also takes two for this release, and the result, an energy-packed deep tech rendition! In the "Supernova Use the Chord Mix", Supernova brings in the smooth arp to their craft.

Wonder Why (PROFF Vocal Mix / Dub)

Progressive house heavyweight, PROFF is back to surprise his listeners once again! He kicks his two versions with his trademark sound plus, of course, a remarkable acoustic guitar solo in the breakdown.

Wonder Why (Dezza Vocal Mix / Dub)

Many say these last two tracks are Dezza's best crafts up to date. I have been following Dezza's works in and out of Dezire Records, and I really have to admit his remixes on "Wonder Why" really bring the best out of him! Really lush and mind-levitating sounds from the man can be heard throughout the song, and the soaring super-pads just gave his tracks a heightened close.

Alex Dolby - Long Beach / Cairo

Hope Recordings has been a key figure in the progressive house scene for more than a decade now. The label is responsible for stunning releases like this one, Alex Dolby's 2008 release-- "Long Beach / Cairo".

The moment I listened to "Long Beach", I felt that I have missed out on a lot of quality music in the past years. The track, having a light and easy-going appeal can make you move unconsciously. Having said these, this luscious, sun-drenched piece is never leaving my playlist.

The darker side of Alex Dolby is unveiled with the second track, "Cairo". With the techno-oriented basslines and melodies, it is quite certain to hear the obvious drift from the upbeat house sound.

With tracks like these, there is no doubt that Hope Recordings is one of the world's most productive labels!
