You will find in this category each week, a review on a MP3 track or vinyl track which is breaking the news. All styles are on the “menu” of this category: minimal, house, electro, techno or even trance in some cases.
The topic will be supplemented by other albums following the latest electronic music news.
3 stars of Germany's house and tech scene come together for this mesmerising new release that has been released under Great Stuff at the end of May, “Ever never EP”. In the Blue Corner: Ante Perry, an eclectic producer and multi-talented chap who counts some sizable anthems amongst his discography, and releases for the likes of Moonbootique and Systematic amongst them. In the Red Corner: Tube & Berger, the dynamic duo behind Kittball Records and many a hard-grooving tech house release. It comes with smashing remixes by Hermanez, Max Bett, Rob Mirage and a re-edit by Tube & Berger themselves.
Ante Perry vs. Tube and Berger - Ever never EP [Buy the EP]
The result is something beautifully subdued; a mellow, warm slice of nu disco meets house, laden with gorgeous summery melody and airy textures. It would be as home on a Booka Shade album as it would on a Mylo one, and is drenched with an optimistic, spine-tingling feel. And if you're after dancefloor solidity, four remixes offer plenty of options.
Hermanez goes for the jackin' and thumpin' approach, with techy stabs bouncing over shuffly percussion and plump bass, all filtered into a big room mindset. Future Russian superstar and Popof protégé Max Bett takes the bigroom-techno way and pumps it up for the bigger venues. Rob Mirage strips things back more, giving a light tech backbone to the original's sumptuous piano chords and avoiding anything over-the-top or heavy-handed.
Finally Tube & Berger themselves step in for the final rework, providing a wiggly workout that takes the key elements of the original and puts them through a deep, bouncing groove.
