Reformed Classics 2012 Sampler EP [Traxsource]

Title: King Street Sounds Reformed Classics 2012 Traxsource EP
Artist: Various Artists
Release Date: November 5, 2012
Label: Street King
Cat#: SK 189

Now available at Traxsource

The Hype: King Street’s stepsister label Street King recently released a vibrant single “Global Apocolypse” by one of Spain’s hottest rising House producers, Pach DJ. House producer Mihalis Safras’ Remix of the tune gave us all the deep thrusting percussion, bouncing baseline and looped up synth that one would expect from a peak hour pumper. Fellow Greek countryman Lee Burton raised the pH with a drop of acid and EU producer Mikee delved deeper into the machine with some borderline industrial samples. Now we’re adding “Danza Loca” to create a further crank up the heat. On remix duty are italian producers, the Deepshakerz who hit us with a funky rolling rhythmic tribal instrumental mix that’s sure to get clobbers flocking to the dance floor. Their Dub is a bit more hifi with snares and other popping percussion. And it’s off & poppin’ just like that.

Blaze presents UDAUFL feat. Ultra Naté – A Wonderful Place (Sean McCabe Remix)

January 30, 2012 in Blaze, Sean McCabe, Tomo Inoue, Ultra Nate, Underground Dance Artists United FOr Life

A Wonderful Place (Sean McCabe Remix)Release Date: 1/30/12
Label: King Street Sounds
Cat #: KSS 1358

The Hype: Another group of hot soulful remixes, stemming from the Blaze presents Underground Dance Artists United for Life “Keep Hope Alive” album comes out on King Street. This batch reinterprets Blaze feat. Ultra Naté, “Wonderful Place” putting some extra spring in the step. UK DJ/Producers Bobby & Steve hit us with a lovely rendition reminiscent of a classic percussive soulful MAW mix that’s sure to please. Our very own Tomo gives us a deep synthy laid back dubby feel with slight vocal injections for added flavor. On the flip, the Fanatix, Britain’s Aaron Ross from BBC 1Xtra and uber-producer Neil Pierce, keep us movin’ with an all out digital melodic interpretation, on their Main Mix minus some of Ultra’s vocals on the dub. What a Wonderful Place indeed.
