Review: Ejeca – Life in Flux

News, Reviews
I doubt if there are many more UK house producers that understand the current needs of house lovers more than EJECA. Being at the top of his game, his ''Life In Flux'' EP is another one of his masterpieces. Starting of on the A side with the adequately named ''Jump'' party starter, EJECA makes it clear that energizing the dancefloor is one of his key features. But where most would suspect the other tracks to be of the same level, EJECA surprises with his other three tracks which have surprisingly calm vibe. First off there's ''Purnsley'' (a word I looked up by the way, but found to have no distinct meaning). There's really just one description for it: sexy. The wavy pad synthesizer, groovy bassline and soothing female vocal make this a great track for warming up whatever crowd you encounter.

Review: Telonius – Old Toy EP

News, Reviews
Listening to ''Old Toy'' makes it clear that house is here to stay. The original is packed with energy and grooves like hell. The female chopped-up vocal might be considered a bit cheesy, but you can't deny it's catchiness. The original track clearly reaches to what I like to call a Hed-Kandi kind of sound: smooth, groovy, warm vocalistic music with a distinct sexy edge to it. The remix by Stefano Ritteri takes the vocal-chopping even further, creating a long and steady buildup kind of track which actually doesn't release at all.

Review: Amirali – Melancholia (Deetron Remixes)

News, Reviews
The Canadian Amirali, part of the Crosstown Rebels crew, has managed to pull it off once more. 'Melancholia' is packed with the melodic deep and dark elegance sound this London-based producer has made himself known for with tracks such as 'Beautiful World' and 'Falling Down'. The name is chosen well, as the original track has an eerie, sad feeling over it. And even though one can argue about whether 'Melancholia' stands out in comparison to Amirali's previous club hits, it is clear that this track is destined to be played in underground venues all across the globe.
