[SPT10] Leeroy K & Sugarshaker – Too Far (Out Now – Exclusive to Beatport)

with support from Robert Owens, DJ Vibe, Joelle Atkins, Reza Hemming, Peter Gelderblom, Brandon Block, Gemma Furbank, Rachel Ellektra, Scott D’Souza, Tony Holder, Audio Guru plus many more!

includes Original, Anti-Clockwise & Alan Barratt Mixes

Leeroy K & Sugarshaker’s second release for us is a Electro fuelled number entitled ‘Too Far’. The original mix has got a great hook and the musical elements, overdriven & gated vocals really work well together. This track has great mass appeal and could be worked well into a more commercially driven set.

The anticlockwise Mix is more of a twisted underground Electro take on it, for the more high octane set. With catchy edgy synth stabs, choppy production techniques really messing around with the vocal parts too.

Alan Barratt’s Techy Mix does what it says on the tin. Delivering a very solid Tech House remix, with a slightly swung edgy groove. Subtle cutting techniques with the vocal phrases and slick synth / perc stabs. All very well executed and comes together nicely.

Hope you enjoy the release

[SPT09] Tony Divino – Go Deeper (Out Now – Exclusive to Beatport)

includes remixes from Scott Langley, Juan Forte, Cristian Poow, Colin sales and Pushkar & Jakopetz

with support from Thomas Gold (Toolroom), Robert Owens, DJ Vibe, Joelle Atkins, Peter Gelderblom, Reza Hemming, Brandon Block, Davey Asprey, Alan Prosser, Joey Silvero, James Herkes, Nick Mentes plus many more!!!

Our next forthcoming release to share with you is of Tony Divino’s track entitled ‘Go Deeper’. The track takes on different influences such as deep, tribal and turns into a big room number with cutting old skool stab hits on the drop. All the percussive and synth parts all build really well with a solid groove to keep the audience engaged.

We also have a huge selection of remixes so that there’s hopefully something for everybody on the release.

First up Scott Langley goes on a big room / tribal tip. His remix really messes around with the synth parts giving the track a complete different spin, and also adds vocals. The end result is a quirky big room monster cementing it’s place on the release.

Next up is Juan Forte. This is his first remix for the label but his killer track ‘Instant’ received huge support for the imprint so thought we’d get him involved

His extended remix uses the pad and synth parts to great effect. Quite a deep / progressive vibe with a strong tribal groove which grabs you throughout the track. Again adding something different to the release and really well executed.

Next up is Dbeatzion Records’ Christian Poow who brings a absolute killer tribal remix to the release. Full of energy with a wicked groove and certainly going to pick up some good support!

We also have a Deep House remix from Colin Sales, who does a more stripped down version, with more emphasis on the building pad parts. A very solid track and would work very well for the more deeper set.

And to finish we have a excellent Minimal / Progressive Remix from Damir Pushkar & Fabian Jakopetz. These guys have been causing quite a stir on the circuit and their track Ocean Breeze on Phunk Solution was very well received. This remix showcases why their so in demand at the minute on various different imprints.

We hope you enjoy the release.

Adding vocals, brass stabs & filtered grooves which really work well with the percussive hooks / Stabs of the Original. It’s no wonder the MoS Tour DJ is so in-demand in the studio and the box!

This all blends well to make a solid hook to keep the audience engaged with plenty of switch ups to keep things interesting.

He’s working hard in the studio and I’m looking forward to hearing the results..”

Will’s take on Latin Influence is a more stripped down Deep edit, focusing more on the piano, pad, saxophone parts and percussive grooves. If it’s a more deeper vibe your after then this will tick all the right boxes. To find out more about Will please head to http://www.stylusrecordings.com
