Joonas Hahmo- Sahailua

About:


It has been quite a while since we reviewed a progressive house release, while at the same time, it has been ages since Hahmo Recordings last shelved out a release. "Sahailua" by Joonas Hahmo-- latest from Finnish  label, Hahmo Recordings-- freshens up our palate for some good old kickin' Finnish progressive house! Not just that, get ready for a rock-solid remix by Timo Juuti & Hector87!


Sounds Like:


Joonas Hahmo adapts, but never sells out. Throughout the years, musical trends have changed most especially in the progressive house scene, but Joonas Hahmo has lived through them all by bringing all those trends together and turning them into his imprint sound. Same goes for "Sahailua", the track that can rub elbows with current chart-toppers like Avicii, David Guetta, Swedish House Mafia, while at the same time keeping that trademark euphoric Hahmo sound-- stabbing pianos, soaring synths, and a crisp atmosphere!


Fellow Finnish producers, Timo Juuti and Hector 87 vow to take over the world with their combined efforts. Their remix on "Sahailua" is a grinding disco-influenced banger that will show no mercy when it comes to aggressive riffs and smashing bass!


Recommendation:


It's just so good to hear these guys again, and "Sahailua" was just the perfect progressive house fix to get us back on track. For the recommendation, it's pretty much a no-brainer: get both tunes!

Joonas Hahmo- I Like Chopin

Finland's finest progressive house artist Joonas Hahmo boots up for another dazzling release on Hahmo Recordings entitled "I Like Chopin"-- a Tron:  Legacy and Daft Punk inspired soundtrack! Not just that, as many of you might know by now, "I Like Chopin" is a clean-cut remake of Gazebo's 80s Italo-disco track of the same title. The original mix came first, and then just recently Hahmo released a dub version due to requests from various DJs and producers worldwide. In addition, the Instrumental Mix landed on the 10 Must Hear Progressive House Tracks Week 20 on Beatport.com. 

"I Like Chopin" relives the good old 80s vibe while at the same time introducing the smashing sounds of Joonas Hahmo. Fresh from Finland, the two version of "I Like Chopin" caters head-nodding vibes and razor-sharp riffs from Joonas. 

"I Like Chopin" is indeed a manifestation of a more substantial approach of Hahmo to his sound. "I Like Chopin", released under Hahmo Recordings is now exclusively available on Beatport for two weeks-- this will definitely hit the charts in no time!

Joonas Hahmo- Mojito

We have closely been following the successes of Joonas Hahmo in his releases since the birth of Hahmo Recordings. Looking back, Joonas first released, "Brainflush / Now or Never"-- an echoing transmission of his new era. Shortly after, he quickly followed-up with "Pizzi / Section 1", a release in which top-notched Russian producers, Vladimir "PROFF" Ershov and Vadim Soloveiv contributed a magnificent remix.

Celebrating the third installment on the label, Finland's finest kicks off with "Mojito", collection of piercing leads, stomping beats, and soaring climaxes-- all of course done Hahmo-style!

Mojito (Original Mix)

This green devil brings back the piano-lifted climaxes Joonas had perfected since "Together" and "Cocktail Bar". Also, we get to hear storming superleads that Hahmo brought to life since his debut on the label. Having said these, Mojito is definitely the rendezvous of his Anjunadeep classics and his chart-topping singles from Hahmo Recordings!

Mojito (More Sugar Mix)

The More Sugar mix is for the fans who crave for a more smashing counterpart of Mojito. Enough has been said.
