D'Flower feat. Gayana- Stand in the Rain

About:


No other producer flawlessly blends soul-tingling saxophones and house music as D'Flower does! Russian DJ, producer, composer, and keyboardist Ivan Boyarkin aka. D'Flower  appears on Spring Tube with a wonderful release, "Stand in the Rain" featuring the vocals of Gayana. Aside from the original, radio edit, instrumental, and soul versions, "Stand in the Rain" garners two remixes from our favorite deep and soulful house producers, Estonia's Ricky Inch! 


Sounds Like:


Think of a perfect moonlit night by the terrace, with a soundtrack composed of pianos to accompany the night-breeze, funky bassline to give some groove, warm vocals to give life, and  four-on-the-floor drums to bind them all together. This somehow captures the true essence of D'Flower's "Stand in the Rain", but we're lacking something. Of course, the trademark soulful saxophone solo of saxophonist Daniil Dubrovsky which gracefully enters and sweeps through the double-beat breakdown, and back to the four-by-four! 


Ricky Inch once again showcases his "NuSoul" sound-- his signature blend of deep and soulful sounds that gives off this distinct classy, warm, and easy-going feel. True enough, his NuSoul reinterpretation of "Stand in the Rain" lives up to the hype!


The "Organic Dub" of Ricky Inch caters a more raw yet-- as stated in the remix title-- organic approach to "Stand in the Rain". With this sound, Ricky Inch takes elements from Latin beach house to acid house and from Chicago house to deep-tech-- a perfect alternative to the other soulful tracks in this release!


Recommendation:


Superb release! Ever since we started writing for D'Flower and Ricky Inch, we always looked forward to more from them. This release having Ricky Inch as a remixer was pretty much expected (or have been anticipated) for a long time now. Bringing both artists together is just awesome! We recommend getting all the tracks by D'Flower and Ricky Inch's NuSoul remix if you love soulful house. If you however are feeling a bit more adventurous when it comes to your musical palette, then Ricky Inch's Organic dub is for you!

Montana & Stewart- Love is the Key

About:


Johnny Montana and Craig Stewart are back to heal the world with their brand-new chart-topping soulful house release, "Love is the Key"! Signed under Universe Media, the UK-based label managed by Martina Lancaster herself, "Love is the Key" will thaw hearts this season with its line-up of superb remixes from high-profile artists, Richard Earnshaw,  Mark De Clive Lowe, and Clemens Rumpf. 


Sounds Like:


If you know how Montana & Stewart does soulful house, you more or less know what to expect  from “Love is the Key”— moonlight-by-the-bay pianos, satin smooth bass, and of course the binding agent: the jazzy feel. The sweet vocals from both Kafele Bandele (also on horn) and Eliki, on the other hand, top-off the production with the final missing ingredient, the human touch.


If it's from Richard Earnshaw it's got to be upbeat, tight, and funky. True enough, Mr. Earnshaw's remix will definitely get you get your dancing shoes on! Mark de Clive-Lowe, UK-based, half-NZ half-Japanese producer also patches up a veteran's work as heard in his soothing remix of "Love is the Key".


Last but definitely not the least is the remix from German producer 
Clemens Rumpf, if you like classy piano-led rhythm, house music style, then Celems Rumpf's remix is the perfect one for you!


Recommendation:


Hold on, we're still catching our breath. . . Such a star-studded release this is! So what do we recommend? Once again we have to say everything, but if you really want to know our favorites, or in other words "the tracks that appealed to us the most", then we have to say it is the original and the Richard Earnshaw remix of "Love is the Key"!

[Insider's Review] Gabor Deutsch Feat. N'dea Davenport- Love With Desire (Ricky Inch Remixes)

Estonia's Ricky Inch made two special remixes just for Gabor Deutsch and N'dea Davenport's "Love With Desire", which was officially released worldwide last April 18. Last week, we were able to get in touch with the man behind the two highly-acclaimed remixes for "Love With Desire"-- Ricky Inch. 

The original release peaked in the Traxsource Top 40 singles chart weeks before the worldwide release date, while Ricky Inch's newly-found sound, the nu:soul remix, reached top 30 of track sales on the said music portal. Ricky indicates that the nu:soul remix of "Love With Desire" was also included in the Dublife Miami sampler which may have probably hindered the remix in reaching a higher placement due to splitting of sales. 

For the special Ricky Inch nu:soul remix, Ricky stated that his new sound is a combination of his trademark lightly-glazed deep one combined with a sound he has been exploring lately-- nu-disco. The Ricky Inch dub mix, however, is something that preserves the essence of the original track while effortlessly incorporating Inch's trademark sound. In addition to this, Ricky Inch emphasizes:

There are times a remix by an artist sounds different from the original, and some people may like it, and some may not. But for me, it does not really matter because the most important thing for me is that the final result of the remix must be something good for the remixer and the original artist. If people like it, then it's good. There are also people who may not like it, and I have understood that fact long before already.

 For Inch, there is no point in coming up with a remix that sounds similar to the original already. When accepting remix duties, it's always better to put in something different for the package rather than making something that sounds like the other remixes. 


Music consumers, in Ricky's opinion, give importance to variation when it comes to releases and remixes, which is why he is pushing forward a diversified sound in the music scene. "Although, of course, every artist is entitled to his own opinion," Ricky follows up.
