Marco Grandi- Bonita

About:


Around three months ago, Hungarian producer, Csaba Kiss aka. Marco Grandi debuted on Ready Mix Records with his superb release, "Love". This time around, Grandi winds up yet another release entitled, "Bontia" as follow-up with remixes from three deep house duos: Norbert and Daniel of the Moti Brothers, label owners in disguise, Adel "Big Al" Ghandour and Levente Szabo as the Harlem Knights (featuring Re-Bound), and of course, the supreme deep house collaboration, Evren Ulusoy and Sezer Uysal!


Sounds Like:


The original mix is something light on the head, while at the same time groovy. The delayed chords bring more swing effect into the track as it is perfectly contrasted by the dense kicking bass and the snappy percussion. As heard in his previous release, "Love", "Bonita" also caters a lush and a soothing atmosphere that carries the whole track.


The Moti Brothers start their remix with some jacking hi-hat work and some warm heavy kicking drums. The glowing chord and the vocal snippets from the original track get a more reverberated touch on the Moti Brothers remix. Bottom line, the Moti Brothers bring in their dreamy liquid deep house sound on board-- and the result is this!


The remix of the Harlem Knights contrasts that of the previous remix as it caters a dryer atmosphere and a more stable groove. The glowing chord is still present in this remix but the dense bass and the gliding bassline really makes the difference.


Never a single disappointing track from Evren Ulusoy and Sezer Uysal! Their remix of "Bonita" brings back deep house with a chic, body-moving groove-- these guys have always proven that two heads are better than one!


Recommendation:


Marco Grandi's "Bonita" is definitely a release to keep. 


If it's deep house groove and swing we're talking about, the original mix and the Evren Ulusoy & Sezer Uysal remixes are the picks. For atmosphere and texture, we have to give it to the Moti Brothers for an exceptional production. Of course, the Harlem Knights remix has both groove and atmosphere, plus the nicely patched deep, deep bass!

DJ Generous- Burning In

About:


"Burning In" is not just another release on Green Mono Music Studio. Aside from it being a release from the big boss of GMMS, "Burning In" is, more importantly, the commemorative release celebrating the 30th birthday of Dima Worcestershire Jr., aka. DJ Generous! "Burning In" also falls onto the hands of a Turkish producer who definitely is no stranger to us-- we are talking none other than Sezer Uysal with his guise, Spennu!


Sounds Like:


The original mix of "Burning In" pretty much comes in with a steady, straightforward groove, effortlessly maintaining a cadence with its colossal kick drums, snappy claps, and punchy hats and shakers. But what is more interesting with this piece is the progression from an interplay of filtered vocal samples, thick dense bass, and alternating echoing stabs-- and how this interplay transitions to a euphoric big-room feel with its soaring lead synth and the ever-levitating mod chord setting afloat.


Spennu only knows one language, the sacred language of deep house music. Sezer once again unveils his unmatched deep house skills under the Spennu guise and comes up with a perfect counterpart of the original version of "Burning In". Crisp synths, deep head-nodding bass, and that unmistakable glowing chord really bring out the chic and smooth side of "Burning In". 


Recommendation:


It's been almost a month since we have been listening to this release from GMMS. Since day one, it was clear to us that "Burning In" release really deserved a review. The original mix is just great, a deep-sounding release from DJ Generous caught us off guard, and the Spennu remix really walked the talk-- honestly, Sezer Uysal is the perfect guy for the job.


Excellent!
