DMU093 - Into The Void EP - Definition, Night Talk

Released 2024-01-05

1. Into The Void - Definition, Night Talk - 5:26
2. Tempest - Definition, Night Talk - 6:42

Following their club hit Clockwork (released on Adriatique's Siamese imprint), played by the likes of Dixon, Trikk and Adriatique, Definition and Night Talk went back to the studio together and cooked up another storm.

Into the void hits from second one. Strong beats lead the way into this dreamlike soundscape, where metallic drum elements and effortless reverb tails take us on a journey. We get lost in a slow build and an unassuming bass-line drives us home, until the track collapses just to hit twice as hard coming back in. Dreamy vocals float over dirty synth lines, melodies that feel familiar guide the way to continuous build ups, where we can't help but move our bodies to the gritty, thumping bass-line pushing us forward relentlessly.

Tempest is all about the beat. Simple, yet endearing, it reels us in and guides us on an endless rise where fragile synth swells and powerful percussion elements tease our ears. High-pitched glimmers dance across the soundscape with ease. A track that rises again and again, yet never quite implodes in-between. Instead it builds, in the most natural way, skilfully and exquisitely, whilst sirens add a well-rounded urgency, that's hard to resist.

DMU092 - Temples - Allan Shotter

Released 2022-09-23

Remix by Definition

1. Temples - Allan Shotter - 5:14
2. Ueno - Allan Shotter - 4:13
3. Cube March - Allan Shotter - 7:21
4. Ueno (Definition Remix) - Allan Shotter - 6:54

Temples is a tempting invitation into another world, full of light and movement. From the second the synth comes in this track has got us deep in its pocket. Shotter manages something that is hard to achieve - he has us floating completely, yet steadily carried by tip-toeing metallic rhythm elements and the relentless swells of bright synths. The game changer in the second half is a new, gritty bass quality, which couldn't roll in any more fiercely. At its fullest the track has us in an uncompromising trance, a relentless movement that we don't ever want to escape from. Breaking back down to pleasantly gentle hi-hat reverb-tails and inducing synth patterns Temples lets us down easy, with the unspoken promise to return.

Ueno claims the room to itself completely and immediately. The rise and fall of melodic synth lines lead us through a labyrinth at first, leaving plenty of space for imagination. Before we notice playful call-and-response rhythms are teasing our ears, until the track surrenders itself to an ever-growing wave of synth patterns and their behind-the-beat-delay. It climaxes into a haunting silence with tenuous high-pitched sounds and a clear outer space feel. Finally, all elements lock into a comforting groove, driving us forward, not too fast, not too slow - exactly right.

The track starts off with a blissfully nostalgic vintage-feel - slightly muffled, like the humbling quality you get from an old Technics playing your favourite LP. But don't be fooled, Cube March is bold. And unexpected. Stomping rhythms take over quickly and full-blown gritty synth-stabs cut the air effortlessly, like blades. An unapologetic and careless pumping bass line makes us want to move with every cell in our body. Shotter demonstrates his fearlessness in experimenting with heavy contrasts and elements from different genres here. A break with tastefully placed repetitive rhythm elements is complemented by the constant ebb and flow of melody lines. Both in volume and presence they fluctuate, one handing over the spotlight to the other seamlessly, keeping us hooked until the very end.

This remix lures you away from reality in a matter of seconds, with Definition's signature heavy hitting bass dominating. He expertly weaves shimmery fills into buoyant synth lines and brings us a skilful mix of dark minimal techno, breaks and infectious monster synth lines. Every so often, he adds a new layer, increasing the depth of the track, before letting it all crumble in a breakdown where time stops and tension grows, as we impatiently await the next rise to carry us away. The lengthy build-ups give this remix the energy to fill any room, easily. It is subtle, yet propulsive, too - a lane that Definition seems to manage regularly.

DMU091 - Mother - ALMA (GER)

Released 2021-12-17

Remixes by Avidus, Definition

1. Mother - ALMA (GER) - 6:30
2. Lost In The Stars - ALMA (GER) - 6:53
3. Lost In The Stars (Avidus Remix) - ALMA (GER) - 6:42
4. Mother (Definition Remix) - ALMA (GER) - 7:24

Following up to their acclaimed "Hold" EP, German duo Alma reemerge on Definition with their new transmission, "Mother". Through four cuts dropping anchor down the most remote nooks of our dance-friendly galaxy, Alma move the cursor from proper floor-focused 4x4 grooves to kosmische-informed pop excursions with dextrous style and seamless elegance. Crafting their own blend of emotionally whelming club music, it's material primed for extended use whether you are sitting on some high-rise, towering rooftops at sunrise or enjoying a freeze-dried cocktail on Alpha Centauri.

Presented in both original version and remix form courtesy of label head Definition himself, title-track "Mother" is the epitome of a slo-burner, rolling at low speed but gaining tension, weight and impactfulness as it runs. Circuits sizzling and piano stabs blazing, Alma dish out a compelling sample of their cross-dimensional wares, sure to take any dancefloor in the zone without further ado. Definition's Remix revamp trades the original's steady swing for a further syncopated, newbeat-infected swagger, laying further emphasis on the synth leads and lashing drumwork as poetic, bleached-out pads keep painting the sky all shades of pastel.

A more Italo-inflected affair at first, the tear-jerking "Lost In The Stars" has us gliding in a parallel universe of its own, where epic-sized synth combers and muscular bass onslaughts avalanche over brittle lines of soft-tongued vocals. As concretely submerging as it is designed to trigger off deep emotional response from the ravers, this one is tailored to weave instant communion between the jockey and his audience.

Flinging in the breaks and cross-cutting delays, Kiel outfit Avidus shift the angle of approach towards harder, faster EBM firepower, binding their rowdy, FX-soaked chords with the chorus to create a wholly distinct dancing and listening experience.

DMU090 - Trojan Love - Definition, Natascha Polké

Released 2021-09-10

Remix by Tim Engelhardt

1. Trojan Love (Original Club Mix) - Definition, Natascha Polké - 7:47
2. Trojan Love (Sunset Mix) - Definition, Natascha Polké - 5:40
3. Trojan Love (Tim Engelhardt Remix) - Definition, Natascha Polké - 6:50

'Trojan Love' plays tricks on your mind. Underground-feel meets organic sounds in the club mix version of Trojan Love, the latest collaboration of Definition and Natascha Polké. The track is highly nuanced from start to finish. Light, understated synth patterns keep teasing and rising, every now and then slipping through a filter to gain prominence. A throbbing bassline takes up all the space. Together with driving percussion it builds endlessly, until it's cut by uncompromising silence - only pierced by the disarming voice of Natascha Polké. (When the weighty bass rolls back in, total ecstasy). Somehow this track manages to increase in its intensity again and again, we rise and fall, led by melodious lines played on a dulcimer and a punchy kick that gives the track its potency.

Mindfully placed string elements bring in additional layers of ethereal vibes in the sunset mix of Trojan Love. Haunting, yet somehow light and playful they marry melancholy with humble attention to detail and feather-light percussion. Melodic dulcimer patterns flow like the stream of a waterfall and take over our moving bodies like a rolling bliss. Dream-like interludes let us catch our breaths just long enough to submerge anew. Natascha Polké has managed to create a consistency in the remarkable wide variety of this track that makes it the perfect place to get lost in comfortably - it feels like watching the sun rise and set over and over again.

Tim Engelhardt's remix of Trojan Love, the latest collaboration between Definition and Natascha Polké, is a skilful slow-burner pairing an ever-present melancholic atmosphere with organic programming. The producer weaves subtly disorientating vocal effects into harmonic fluidity with ease, underpinning it all with a steady beat that could carry us to the end of time. Engelhardt's manipulation of space is unparalleled. Racing synths and carefully placed melodic fragments take us on a deep journey, floating yet minimal, dark yet comforting - and wistful throughout.

3. Burning Out (Definition Remix) - Natascha Polké - 7:06
4. Burning Out (Night Talk Remix) - Natascha Polké - 7:32

Natascha Polké's "Burning Out" EP is the follow-up release to "Stars Wrapped In Skin". It ties in seamlessly, bringing back the haunting qualities, fragile textures and driving beats the artist is known for. Whilst glistening in melancholy, the songs on this second release are just as upbeat and danceable. A release demanding to be played at hazy summer get-togethers as it gets late and we get lost in the rhythm of the night.

It kicks off with "Burning Out", a spheric track where organic sounds meet disarmingly intimate vocals. A soundscape that keeps building and falling like gushing waves. Nostalgic call and response movements carry us into the unknown of our inner universe with an irresistible groove, much like our own heartbeat, leading the way.

Next up: "Wildfire". A track with an atmosphere that lures you in and plays with your mind, teasing with enticing percussion and warped synths before making way for stunningly performed vocals. It fuses classic techno feel with contemporary aesthetics. Melody lines floating over a relentless groove guiding us straight into a dreamy soundscape. You can't help but dive in and it feels so good.

Launching straight into the breakbeat percussion and uncompromising synth line, Definition's remix of "Burning Out" enters the room like it's here to stay. The producer blends rough rawness with fragility, ties in thunder-like build-ups with intricate vocals and metallic synth stabs, harsh like blades. A remix that lives to be blasted in clubs and will easily demolish dance floors all over the world. This track is unrelenting, and you don't want it to stop.

The second remix stems from Night Talk. He's created a slow burner, a tune that keeps on building, where he skilfully controls the releases of energy, and places it exactly where and when it's needed. This remix is minimalistic and almost hypnotic in its darkside vibes.

DMU087 - Lux EP - Definition

Released 2021-02-05

1. Lux - Definition - 8:16
2. Odyssee - Definition - 7:52
3. Phoenix - Definition - 7:36
4. Raven - Definition - 7:19

'Lux' is what we use to measure the intensity of light as we perceive it, when it's hitting or passing through a surface. The first track, that gives the EP its name, embodies exactly that - the fluctuating, ever-changing nature of light; from fragile and fleeting to overwhelming and powerful.

'Lux' kicks off with warm synths creeping in, like rays of sunlight breaking through the clouds. Dreamy crescendos take you for a ride and build up until they melt into a comforting blanket of piano chords, accompanied by a propelling hi-hat pattern that will make you want to move. The track is hopeful, the start of a journey, with compelling break downs, industrial rhythm elements and powerful build-ups such as the one to the final section, dominated entirely by its fusion between techno-beat and dance-feel.

Next up is 'Odyssee'. An unapologetic track that picks up the pace. Kicking off boldly with harmonic tension and enticing drum sounds, it's hard not to surrender to the rich and fast-moving soundscape. Proud drums meet steel sounds and tentative piano figures, all glued together by the driving beat, determined to get to the next stop of this lifelong voyage. Striking accents, in the form of short-lived breaths or staccato bass lines take you through a labyrinth of growing gritty synths. A track that easily leads you through space and time and makes it feel like the most natural thing in the world.

We're greeted with standalone bright and sparkly synth movements as 'Phoenix' rises and wraps us in warmth. Gently, like raindrops, a rhythmic pattern starts dripping in. Definition, like in many of his other works, blends rhythmical sounds that couldn't be more different into one, making them sound like they were never meant to exist unless next to each other. The track is a symbiosis of modern and classical sounds, lets us bathe in analogue warmth but always rolls along with digital precision. 'Phoenix' starts softly and ends in roaring flames: in a repetitively enchanting party, fabricated out of dark, pumping beats and gritty synths.

'Raven', the final of the four tracks and the lead single (released alongside the Jonas Ratshman remix just 1 week ago), intrigues with chants and empowerment just as much as with its determination and fragility. Falling from the highest heights, Raven lets you rediscover who you are when you hit the ground. Carried by a throbbing four-on-the-floor kick drum and covered in a synth-haze that is hard to resist, you'll float along, fall and rise with the everlasting wave-like movement of human existence.

'Lux' is out on 05/02/2021 via Definition:Music.

DMU086 - Raven - Definition

Released 2021-01-29

Remix by Jonas Rathsman

1. Raven - Definition - 7:19
2. Raven (Jonas Rathsman Remix) - Definition - 7:02

Raven is Definition's newest track and lead single ahead of the Lux EP, released alongside a Remix by Jonas Ratshman. The track is a voyage through the highest heights and unapologetic lows of the human existence. When the beat hits and conga-like drums and chants set in, powerful and determined, you find yourself reminiscing about another world, one you've never seen but deep down know is there. The throbbing and driving four-on-the-floor keeps you moving with certainty.

The track grows, slowly but steadily, one layer after another, meandering through different motions. Playfully plucked melody lines and intricate hi-hat patterns evolve into waves of legato synth lines. Followed by an endless moment in time, carried solely by high-end synth-stabs and metallic drum sounds, it finally escalates into a roaring flood of dirty synth basses. It's only after, that serenely vocals reveal and tell the story of knowing oneself and what it takes to be honest enough to admit defeat solely to be able to move on. All underpinned by a relentless rhythm, the kind that draws you in and, once it's got a hold of you, never quite lets go.

Jonas Ratshman's remix of Raven is just as easy to indulge in as the original. With a strong emphasis on offbeat elements and skilfully placed high-end melodic fragments, Ratshman's remix grows into a slightly more dance floor orientated version of the tune. Bright chords and subtly placed vocal crescendo's inviting in forgotten summer feels are complemented by cleverly layered call-response build up's, leading you astray in a maze of your own thoughts whilst dancing the night away.

A mellow kick sound that makes you want to move steadily, an early on-set vocal taking you by the hand. This remix is a dreamlike and wistful marriage between pumping low-ends from the techno world and spine-tingling bright pads, driving beats and glistening shimmers of sweet high-end effects. Ratshman has managed to highlight another shade of the original - a co-release that makes for a tempting addition.

Raven is demanding. It's like falling out of the sky into deep waters, getting lost and being found, over and over and over. Out via Definition:Music on 29. January 2021

Available on Beatport, Apple Music, Spotify, Deezer, YouTube Music.

DMU085 - Siren - Definition, Natascha Polké

Released 2020-11-13

Remix by Audiojack

1. Siren feat. Natascha Polké - Definition, Natascha Polké - 6:51
2. Siren feat. Natascha Polké (Audiojack Remix) - Definition, Natascha Polké - 6:08

On the 13th November 2020 Definition's latest venture will see the light of day. The collaboration features artist Natascha Polké, providing hauntingly beautiful whispers and spoken word elements that hypnotise instantly, luring the listener into another world, like the call of an unknown siren.

The tune is mesmerising and thrilling in its simplicity - a six-minute journey that marries minimalism with distinctively dreamy bell action, creating a gleaming soundscape spacious enough to get lost in. Skillfully tied together by ever-evolving reverb tails, grounding synth sounds and a beat that drives, calmly and steadily, "Siren" is bound to captivate.

The release comes alongside a remix by Audiojack. The duo's version is underpinned by their trademark - a distinctively pumping beat that leaves you no choice but to dance along to. Putting heavy emphasis on stereo spread lo-fi synth effects and exquisite dynamics that leap and fall like roaring waves they've created a version of the song that can carry us away for days.

Both tracks are released by Definition:Music.

DMU084 - Hold EP - ALMA (GER)

Released 2020-05-29

feat. Definition

Remix by ALMA

1. Hold - ALMA (GER) - 6:24
2. You - ALMA (GER) - 6:52
3. Relinquished (ALMA Remix) - Definition - 6:24

Definition:Music is back for a new season, proudly presenting a fresh release that has been in the making for about 12 months now - ALMA (GER)'s "Hold EP". Marking the beginning of a new era in the label's history this new single, available both on vinyl as well as on digital platforms, is about to pave the way for more great things to come within the Definition:Music cosmos.

The opening title track "Hold" sees the duo that is ALMA (GER) on a heart-warming, melodic TechHouse tip - a style they're known and loved for since they first joined forces in the studio. With well thought out arrangements and carefully layered elements things are building up big time, sending dancefloors to heaven even before the tune's captivating main vocals appear to certainly create a bridge between (Neo)Trance-infused club culture and a decent, yet obvious Electronic Pop appeal for a wider audience.

Following up is "You", the second original track crafted by ALMA (GER) for this release. From a techier start this musical offering is built off of a super solid TechHouse stomp, intertwined, ever modulating synth lines alongside atmospheric risers, a short, slightly warped main motif and - once again - mysterious, spine-tingling vocal elements enchanting entire venues within seconds, providing memorable moments for each and every punter out on the floor.

Finally ALMA (GER) is in for a special treatment, taking over remix controls for "Relinquished" - a tune originally created by Definition:Music's creative force and head honcho Definition himself. Coming from a deeper, naturalistic angle this re-work offers a slightly tribalistic, possibly latin-infused groove for balearic sunset sets, paired with widescreen panoramas, beauteous, tender and romantic piano licks as well as a dreamlike atmosphere made to fall in love with all the beautiful people surrounding each and every dancer, sharing this special moment with one another.

2. Embrace - Definition - 7:29
3. Diego - Definition - 7:17
4. WYSiWYG - Definition - 7:16

Diego waits for us already, three empty beers and a full ashtray say he's impatient. Perhaps two more and he's soon in his element kicking the drum and teasing a sinister sound. Diego dwells in the shadows, moving slowly and rarely. Yet still he pulls your strings in subtle ways, it's what he does best.

The tension increases yet Diego won't let go, he keeps us hooked with a deep groove and increasing intensity. The vibe shifts as the clouds part. He invites the sun's warm rays to come out to play. There is more to Diego than meets the eye. Despite his appearances, Diego is still just a guy.

DMU074 - Unleashed EP - Definition

Released 2018-01-26

1. Yelo - Definition - 7:11
2. Miu - Definition - 8:27
3. Red Sky - Definition - 7:05

Dimitri Definition Schnider drops another heavy EP on his growing imprint of the same name. Unleashed features 3 originals from the artist, each expressing its own passion in dynamic ways.

First Yelo swoops in to start a fire with its low-key approach with a steady heat glowing from between the beats, creating a soulful and deep experience.

Miu takes the stage next, trapping our imagination with a frail vocal narration as the beats swell and the bass builds, sending out a beautiful message to the universe and anyone listening. The track tops out as a serious dancefloor contender with plenty of groove to take us to the stars and back and that is a good thing because we want to be back for the final track, an itchy tech-house groover titled Red Sky.

From beginning to end, a gritty bassline keeps the track in line while everything around it transforms into a world of beauty. Rich, slow moving pads glide over the top of steamy percussive lines as the track dives deeper into the warm night air.

DMU071 - Falling EP - Definition

3. Emotions - Definition - 8:03
4. Gone - Definition - 7:17
5. Rise Again (feat. Liu Bei) - Definition - 4:17

The mastermind behind the label, Definition himself returns with a massive new solo release, Falling EP. With his last solo release nearly a year back, one look at the tracklist gives us an idea why 5 new and exclusive works quality takes time. The title track opens the EP in a deep and melodic landscape burning low and steady. The vocal cuts bring an ethereal vibe as the synths crescendo and the kick beats on.

Next Dimitri shows us another side, 'Tulipe Noir' engages us in an electric fantasy full of swirling arpeggios cloaked in retro vibes. The collaboration with his friend Def:Play spends a tribute to an old Soul, which introduced them and kicked off the start for a beautiful friendship. A beautiful adventure right from the begin, thanks to a stunning arrangement and a knack for flow.

'Emotions' drops us in a world of deep heavy kicks with tense air between them. The pads rise. The reason for our journey is clear as the floor throbs with bass. But that's not all, the waters get warmer, and the sun does shine, if only briefly.

Turning up the groove, 'Gone' melts the tension with a smooth groove and a solid drive. By the middle of the track, were caught with a contagious rhythm and natural swing.

The final track of the EP is perhaps its warmest - a beautiful break-beat adventure fantastically vocalized by Liu Bei. 'Rise Again' is that upbeat catchy summer tune you just can't get enough of - done tastefully and elegantly. A beautiful and warm conclusion to an outstanding EP.

The title track is up now. Definition projects an electric landscape in which we ride through the night on a steel horse made of pure electricity toward the peak-time rush and unearth "Progression". A solid track throughout, from the first deliberate kick, to the delicate break and beyond.

"Janus" brings thick and gritty bass stabs to a driving tech house groove, creating a blend of deep, dark realms with a hot and steamy pressure.

Easing into warmer waters, "Caught Out" is vocally supported or rather enriched through the voice of Pete Josef. A smooth and cuddly but packing groove that pushes straight into your brain never to release you after listening to it for the first time. This track produces happiness, peace and a good dose of bliss my friends.

"Without Any Doubt" slowly rises from nothing and transforms itself into a beast of beautiful orchestra of chords and harps.

Finally, one last vocal track to bring closure to the LP. "This Mystery feat. Jinadu" is a power ballad that delivers on all fronts and spreads a warm glow with a solid groove.

DMU045 - Fear The Remixes - Definition

Released 2016-03-07

Remixes by Ron Flatter, Blancah

1. Fear (ReFeared Mix) - Definition - 8:13
2. Fear (Ron Flatter Remix) - Definition - 7:34
3. Fear (Blancah Remix) - Definition - 8:15

After destroying dancefloors the world over at the hands of Karmon, Joyce Muniz, Wankelmut and Agoria, 'Fear' is back. Definition returns with the ReFeared Mix which adds small changes on the bassline and some vocal shouts, just to underline the main melody of the track.

Ron Flatter's remix comes flying in ready to do some damage. The groove is hot and loose; he keeps it steady, low, and strong while climbing and falling in all the right places.

BLANCAh takes a bigger approach, opening all the gates and letting the synths soar. The remix definitely delivers a punch, dealing a healthy dose of techno with it.

feat. Definition

Remix by Joal

1. Saltation - Definition, ARTBAT - 7:12
2. Upcast - ARTBAT - 7:32
3. Upcast (Joal Remix) - ARTBAT - 6:46

ARTBAT return to Definition:Music after their last release, Mandrake EP gained loads of support from heavy hitters like Richie Hawtin, Umek, Olivier Giacomotto and more. This time they've come with Saltation, a collaboration with Definition, as well as an original paired with a Joal remix.

First things first, the title track slowly opens its dark doors and lets the cool air flow as the energy slowly rises. As we get closer we see just how deep it gets as the kicks return and things really pick up. A great atmosphere, solid production and a brilliant bassline carry this track throughout.

Upcast gives off more of a deep house vibe thanks to a seducing percussion. As the track opens itself further it lifts everything higher and further before dropping you back onto the dancefloor.

Joal gives the track a tech-house feel and explores the subtler sides of the track, giving it a glowing after-hour feel.

DMU031 - Resurrection EP - Definition

Released 2015-05-04

feat. Cari Golden

1. Product Of My Environment - Cari Golden, Definition - 7:24
2. Periodic - Definition - 8:18
3. Fear - Definition - 8:10
4. Troublemaker - Definition - 7:18

Label founder and Zurich resident Dimitri 'Definition' Schnider presents his debut EP, Resurrection EP, saving his best work for his own imprint. Four stunning original works, including a collaboration with the lovely Cari Golden, Definition lives up to the imprint's standards with plenty of groove to spare.

Opening the EP is 'Product of My Environment', a collaboration with Cari Golden and a very steamy track thanks to its beautiful melodic breakdowns and constantly rising pressure.

Taking things further, 'Periodic' operates on a slow burning groove with rising arps and thick round kicks peppered with hats and rim-shots to bring even more energy to an already powerful late night soundtrack.

'Fear' opens the gates with a waterfall of chords before bringing the percussion in, setting the tone for the track. Deep rhythmic bass lines and 8-bit nuances lead the track deeper, with the percussion keeping the energy on high the entire flight.

Lastly, 'Troublemaker' hits us with warm sequences and sinister pads throughout and lives up to its name. The track is a beast in every sense of the word, rolling along through the night and waiting for unsuspecting club-goers to succumb to its deep and heavy groove.

DMU011 - Sunday Anthem - Hector Couto

Released 2013-12-09

Remixes by Dene Antony, Definition

1. Sunday Anthem - Hector Couto - 6:34
2. Sunday Anthem (Dene Antony Remix) - Hector Couto - 5:19
3. Sunday Anthem (Definition Remix) - Hector Couto - 6:49

Spanish producer Hector Couto is part of a new breed of tech-house inclined musicians making their mark on the scene. Considering his short but prolific career has already led him to famous outlets such as Get Physical, Saved, Hot Creations and Noir, that's hardly surprising either. This time around, he perks up on the Swiss-based Definition:Music for the first time since his collaboration with VIVa mainstay Darius Syrossian, the quite emphatic Here We Come. The good news is that Sunday Anthem is a no less enticing affair.

Indeed, the title track sees Couto set his stall out in a fairly vintage manner. Sprightly, energetic and with more than enough groove with which to ignite the 'floor, Sunday Anthem is precisely the sort of anthem that will work wonders incidentally, at Sankeys on a Sunday. Where, it might not have escaped your attention, is exactly when Syrossian & co. line up for their weekly Ibiza parties.

On the remix front, Dene Antony unleashes an absolute pearl of a remix, as he makes the original even more frenetic thanks to some more solid kicks and a bumping bassline that makes all the right noises. Great work from the Yorkshire producer; a man who we're sure to hear more of on this sort of form. Lastly, Definition turns in a remix that's stuffed full with ravey stabs, harmonious melodies, some clever drumwork and a barrage of suspense. It proves a fitting end to an altogether excellent EP.

DMU002 - Thug Life - Garibovic

Released 2012-08-26

Remixes by Sergio Santos & Tamer Malki, Washerman, Definition

1. Thug Life - Garibovic - 5:22
2. Thug Life (Sergio Santos & Tamer Malki Remix) - Garibovic - 6:43
3. Thug Life (Washerman Remix) - Garibovic - 6:45
4. Thug Life (Definition Remix) - Garibovic - 6:38

Garibovic is one of the hottest new starz shooting for a well deserved success. His new EP is mostly a mixture of nu disco and electronic beats that are glued together quite nicely. Even better, Garibovic seems great at picking not only the hottest, but best remixers around.

Washerman provides a deep as can be mix that is catchy enough to hook nearly anyone. Prime time dancefloor magic or leather chair relaxation music, this mix is pure ice. Clean vocals, electronic bells, reverse warm pads, and echoes galore are in great abundance throughout the track. Both a workout for your body and your mind, the mix is one of those that you can listen to at your house and not wonder when it's over. In fact, I was quite disappointed when it was over…

Sergio Santos & Tamer Malki are amazingly talented at what they do, and this one only proves it more so. Many tracks appeal to one producer, but this is one of the rare ones that will appeal to everyone. Superb rhythm, sounds, and atmosphere throughout, well worth checking out.
