The Danish producer U-Facilities delivers the official anthem for the Danish Dj Awards 2005.
Although the name might not ring a bell immediately, U-Facilities is known for a long list of house and clubhouse productions.
A look at the tracklist teaches us that this release comes with 2 remixes, next to the original version. No one less than Stonebridge signed for a remix on the B-side, while house veterans Joe Moreno and Guy Gerber take care of the second remix on this release.
Let's start with the original version. The track starts off with a solid kick, minimal percussion, and oddly sampled vocals. The introduction is a bit minimal, but it sure is groovy, especially when echoing bongos and woodblock sounds are introduced. A groovy start so far!
The introduction slowly builds up and we can hear some cool old school synthesizer tones just before the track reaches his first climax.
The kickdrum becomes more solid after the 'opening' of the track and some really cool female vocals are introduced. At this moment, the track turns into a serious club tune!
The strange thing is that this track sounds dark and sunny at the same time. The vocals sound a bit like a melancholic pop song while the sounds are made up out of spacey effects and hypnotising, lounge-like synthesizers.
Another remarkable thing is the diversity and choice of sounds.
The track knows an incredible variety of cool effects without being 'overproduced', and the overall sounds really hot groovy.
Another fantastic house tune, which can easily be called a hybrid of various styles. Try to imagine a solid club tune filled with lounge effects and you would come as close as this tune. Nice work!
The remix by Stonebridge chooses for an uptempo, more latinhouse orientated approach.
The tracks starts off with an irresistible introduction consisting of a filtered kick and rhythmic shakers. This might sound a bit uninspired, but it definitely makes you wanna shake that booty!
The vocals are maintained in this remix, although they are used in such a way that they make up a perfect latinhouse track. This is typical Stonebridge style: an uptempo, high quality track, improved with funky vocals and those good old echoing synths.
An incredibly sexy and rough remix! Respect!
The third track on this release is the Guy Berber vs. Joe Moreno mix.
These guys have been working in the dance scene for a long time and are known for their co-operations with artists from well-known labels such as Bedrock, Twisted and Kinky Vinyl.
Their remix is totally different than what you might expect from a clubby latinhouse track, and perhaps that is the reason why it's so incredibly good!
This is definitely the most powerful track on the vinyl, starting off with a solid and punchu kick together with strange 'Darth Vader breathe' sounds, manipulated, robotic sound effects and eerie noise.
After this wicked intro, a low, phat bassline is added to the rhythm, creating a rough basis for the rest of the track. This kick ass!
Just when you might think you're dealing with a serious House and Electro hybrid, the familiar vocals from the original version are introduced, but they are sampled in such way that the electro feeling takes control.
The track can be described as an insane, robotic mix of house and electro filled with cracking sounds, futuristic beeps and effects and an incredible amount of punk!
It might be a bit surprising to encounter a version like this on a house record, but give it a try and you'll be hooked to your speaker!
Conclusion:
U-Facilities got it going on! The original version is a funky, high quality floorfiller featuring awesome effects and vocals that will definitely be a big success among both dj's and party people the coming months. Without sounding cheesy, the track features all elements that you may expect from a quality clubber.
Stonebridge delivers a fantastic remix with respect to the original version.
This one is more uptempo with lots of latinhouse influences that is bound to rule the dancefloors!
The remix by Joe Moreno and Guy Gerber is an awesome electronic experiment filled with futuristic elements creating a punky, powerful tune not to be messed with.
A fantastic release with 3 high quality tracks and a must-have for all you house freaks out there!
