Classic FTW: Mirco De Govia – Voller Sterne (Super 8 Remix)

1 svar

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=94wxYsv6VA0&w=680&h=383]

This week’s article is about a producer that has been pretty quiet the last few years. I discussed it with some friends and everyone said the same thing. Where has Mirco De Govia gone? So I decided to listen thru some of his stuff and landed on a true classic: Mirco De Govia – Voller Sterne (Super8 Remix). (Buy on Itunes)

Goosebump moments:

00:26 when you hear the hypnotic bassline fade in slowly and builds for another 40 seconds
02:32 when the second breakdown comes in.
02:59 when the music comes to an halt.
03:13 when the strings come in
03:41 when the synthstabs come in
04:23 when the full music starts again
05:19 when the guitar kicks in

German born Mirko Zettl started producing trance and techno back in 1991 but his first own release came in 1994 under his alias Mirco De Govia with the EP Romantic EP. After the release, Mirco took some time off to study computer science On on the release, there is a remix by his good friend Ralph Kyau (from Kyau & Albert).

When Ralph Kyau and Steven Moebius Albert started their record label, Euphonic in 1997, Mirco decided to start producing again.

His first release on Euphonic came in 1998 with the track Firebird which was featured Euphonic Compilation – We Come In Peace.

The first own single on Euphonic was Clubspring Meets Mindspring, a 2-track EP, both tracks are wellproduced tb303-monsters but I prefer Mindspring as it’s more in my taste.

The second single, Epic Monolith (co-produced with Ronski Speed) follows the earlier singles recept with a major tb303-bassline and a complex buildup. The piano in the breakdown makes this an complete epic trancer. Epic Monolith was later signed to Alex Gold’s label, Xtravaganza.

Things That Matter (co-produced by Ronski Speed) follows the earlier recipy and is a really epic trancer. Love the lead-instrument in the track.

Mirco’s first album, Chronoscale came out in 2003 and contained 2 cd’s. The first CD contained original tracks and the second CD contained Mirco’s remixes of other artists tracks. The album was co-produced by Kyau & Albert and Ronski Speed.

The featured track, Voller Sterne came out in 2004. It keeps that complex buildup from his previous tracks with a hypnotic bassline and warm pads.That breakdown is to die for. The album version is somewhat of a Chicane-ripoff with that balearic feeling and breakbeat drums. I prefer the Super8 Remix as its more driving but still keeps the warmth of Mirco’s original track.

Asarja was another collaboration with Ronski Speed. They each made a version of the track. Mirco’s version has a strong buildup, a balearic breakdown with piano and still that complexity over it. Ronski’s version is abit harder, it still keeps that balearic feeling in the breakdown and even has wave-sounds in it.

The 2008 album, Iconic Path was an all new album and contained loads of gems like Vital Spark and Evolution Part II along with 11 other well-produced tracks. All tracks were produced by himself and mastered by Rough Mullar a.k.a. Sonorous.

The last release we saw from Mirco was the 2011 track, Sleeping Beauty. While the album version is somewhat of a chillout-track, the Ronski Speed-remix is a techy monster. Love the piano in the breakdown.

Over the years, Mirco has also remixed track by Above & Beyond vs. Andy Moor,
Super8, Kyau & Albert, Sonorous, Sun Decade, Ralphie B & Lasgo with good success.

Although Mirco hasn’t quit producing yet, many of my friends asked if he quit the business as there has been quite quiet from him. I hope Mirco will keep producing for a few more years as I believe he still has some tracks in him before he retires.

His formula for producing still works, his tracks complexity is really awesome and the depth in his productions will still be modern for another decade. I love his use of the TB303-synth which was more frequent on his earlier releases.
I hope to hear some new tracks from him soon. If not, his old productions will live on forever.

Could you send us cold and wet sweedes a sun, Please?! Remember not to wrap it in to something that might be flamable. As I told you last time about the rain.. Yeah, it has been raining since then and we are not singing in the rain!!
Let’s just talk about some happy stuff and forget about the weather..

The Super Awesome Contest

I had an fantastic surprise for not so long ago. I was participating in a contest at Facebook where the task was simple. Just share a link and then wait a while for a random winner. The winner got a super cool Roland TB-303, TR-909 & TR-808 pillow bundle. So one day, just on an ordinary monday in my office. I was checking out some new tweets and got a really surprised. Analog Sweden (The Company behind the pillows) had sent me a tweet and asking me to contact them and claim my pillows. SUPERFRÄÄÄSHT! That’s a pretty awsome word in swedish btw.

I was talking to Patric about this and he told me to contact them again and ask if they would like to collaborate with us and have a similar contest on the podcast. Aand yeah, there will be a pillow contest in the upcoming podcast!

Question Regarding Podcast Subscription – What Is It, How Does It Work?

I’ve got many questions about subscriptions and I think it’s time for me to make this clear for you that doesn’t really know what it is.

So, the basics of podcasting is that you can listen when you wan’t and go back and listen to earlier episodes and so on.
But think that if you would like to just click a button for an automatic update when you are sitting on a bus, subway or by foot to check if there are any new episodes aviable on your favorite podcasts. Aaah! That’s the beauty of subscriptions. And the best part is that it’s really simple to set up.
I bet that the majority of you have a smartphone. An iPhone, Android device or even a Windows mobile. Let’s start with the popular iPhone. Simlply click on the ”subscribe on iTunes” button on my site (Click on the button ”Tracklists and Comments” button to get all the alternatives for listening) and it’s done. Follow instructions and the podcast will be downloaded and followed. The best part is that if you subscribe to several podcasts. Just click on the update button on your iPhones iTunes and it will check for new episodes for all your subscriptions. Great isn’t it!?
If you are on a Android device. Just get your favorite mediaplayer with podcast support for an example search for google listen on the google play market. Click, ”set up a new podcast” and write http://podgressive.com/feed/. Thats it!

Roadtrip To Hedemora

We have been talking about the interviews again. It’s always such a massive project and takes a lot of effort to get it really good. Patric and me have been planning to do some different types of them in the future. Some big and some small and more easy. Just to have them more often. Sometimes an article and other times just for the podcast. I have been following a fantastic talent and an really good pianist for some time and we just had to see her studio irl. So, this project got even bigger than before. We took my car and went to Hedemora (Small town in Sweden) to visit miss Lily V Nine. I’m really looking forward to the final result that Patric is actually working on it right this moment. There will be some of that in the podcast as well so don’t miss it!

Classic FTW: Commercial radio hits vs Trance remixes

Lämna ett svar

This week’s article is somewhat different than the others. Instead of writing about one track or one artist, this article will be about alot of tracks with one common thing.
All tracks are trance- or other EDM-versions of ordinary commercial pop-tracks.

My fascination with electronic dancemusic started at an early age. Could have to do with that my brother was into synthmusic or that my family had MTV already back in 1984.

I have never been a radio-person as I think that most tracks played there (especially the commercial radio stations) is played over and over until people are fed up with the tracks.

What I wanted to hear was something else than the ordinary radio-listener heard. I wanted to hear the club mixes or remixes of the tracks. So I started buying 12” singles and later CD-maxis to feed my brain with stuff that most people never heard (if they didn’t go to a club).

I started listening to clubmusic long before I started frequenting clubs as there’s usually an 18 year minimum on swedish clubs. But when my time was in, me and my friends used to go out 1-2 days every week, both to dance and to drink.

Enough about me, now let’s get back to the music.

I got this idea of this article while listening to Evanescence – Hello (Trifactor vs Gabriel & Dresden Remix). If you compare the remix to the original, the original is somewhat of an emo-ballad while the remix seems abit happier but still keeps the original piano and voice.

When you come to think about it, there has been alot of beautiful tranceversions which originated from radiomusic/commercial pop.

Original
Remix

Another track that’s highly thought of in the trance community is Delerium featuring Sarah McLachlan – Silence (Tiesto’s In Search Of Sunrise Remix) which is a bang-on trancer while the original is a slow track with gregorian chants but still danceable.

Original
Remix

When we’re on the subject of Delerium, they have been the remixers choice the last 10 years. The Delerium-single After All came in 2 versions. Original and Svenson & Gielen-remix. The latter usually found its way onto compliation albums whereas the original was only available on the album or as a single.

Original
Remix

Another example is the Madonna-hit What It Feels Like For A Girl where the official radio/video-version was the Above & Beyond Remix. Madonnas music has always been dance-oriented and the last few albums has been produced by the elite in the music industry to give her that dancefloor edge she’s always had strived for.

Original
Remix

Speaking of ladies, another remix favourite is Dido. Her original tracks has always been well-produced as her brother is the all-famous Rollo (from Faithless). Her track Sand In My Shoes got a well-deserved remix-work from Above & Beyond.

Original
Remix

Dido’s Don’t Leave Home got a treatment from Gabriel & Dresden. Both Dido-tracks are personal favourites.

Original
Remix

Another Dido-track to take a look at is Stoned (Deep Dish Remix) which is more housy than the original.

Original
Remix

Last but not least, the Armin Van Buuren-remix of Dido’s Everything To Loose.

Original
Remix

When mentioning Gabriel & Dresden, it’s hard not to mention their fabulous remix of Annie Lennox’s old ballad A Thousand Beautiful Things.

Original
Remix

Also worth mentioning is the Kuffdam & Plant-remix of Annie’s The Saddest Song.

Original
Remix

It’s hard to forget one of the first tracks that made the remix bigger than the original. 99% of the times when you hear Everything But The Girl’s smash hit Missing, it’s the Todd Terry Remix you’re hearing. It was one of those tracks that showed the music industry what power a remix can have.

Original
Remix

Another early crossover-track was the William Orbit remake of classical musician Samuel Barber’s track Adagio For Strings which got an awesome Ferry Corsten-makeover.

Original
Remix

Ferry Corsten also remixed a couple of Moby’s tracks, amongst others Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad.

Original
Remix

Ferry also did a tremendous job on Lighthouse Family – Happy

Original
Remix

It’s not only pop music that gets the dancefloor-treatment. For instance dutch rockers Kane got a sweet remix from Tiesto on their track Rain Down On Me.

Original
Remix

Tiesto also did a faboulous job on Skin’s track Faithfulness.

Original
Remix

I mentioned the Evanescence-track further up and also worth listening to is the Leama & Moor remix of Avril Lavigne – I’m With You.

Original
Remix

Even pop-synth artists like Depeche Mode has some really nice remixes out there.
Only When I Loose Myself gets a progressive remix by Lexicon Avenue

Original
Remix

Depeche Mode’s Peace gets a remix-treatment by Sander Van Doorn.

Original
Remix

The last remix I heard of their material that I liked was the Eric Prydz-remix of Personal Jesus.

Original
Remix

To sum it up. The artists original tracks are made for their original audience while the remixes are made usually to fit a dancefloor or to get the usual radiolistener a chance to hear their favourite track made in a different way to fit other moods. What we have heard the last 10 years or so is that most artists are getting more dancefloor-friendly.

A big example of this is the big crossover for american rap-artists to the european dancefloor with helps of DJs like David Guetta & Calvin Harris. No wonder that David Guetta was chosen the no1 DJ from the readers of DJMAG last year.

We can also see that big Trancemusic-names like Tiesto, Ferry Corsten & Armin Van Buuren is moving more towards housemusic nowadays as the big ”mass” which is into housemusic has taken over the dancefloors. Just look at the big parties like Energy or Sensation White which is more house-oriented nowadays than their origins in trancemusic.

My hope for the future is that some of the people listening to popmusic on the radio could find new listening grounds in housemusic or trancemusic when listening to their favourite artist thru the remixes. If only 5% of the listeners gets inspired, i’m more than satisfied. And I guess the remixers will feel the same.

Classic FTW: Dogzilla – Without You

Lämna ett svar

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hKi_H5ZJ5T0&w=680&h=383]

This week’s article is about a man who used to work as an A&R for several labels, a man that helped Seb Fontaine and Judge Jules pick songs for their Radio 1-shows, a man that used to hold a recidency at the legendary London club, Serious @ The Cross.

I´m ofcourse referring to Simon Patterson.

This week’s featured track is a collaboration between Simon and Richie Kayvan under the name Dogzilla and it’s their biggest hit, Without You. (Buy on Itunes)

Lyrics:

I hear you calling me
Haunting me
There\’s nothing I can do
without you, without you…

I stand here paralyzed
I\’ve realised
There\’s nothing
without you, without you…

If I could talk to you
Embrace you
Whisper in your ear
I would tell you

That, you are
The only,
The only thing I need

The only only only…
The only thing I need

I hear you calling me…
Haunting me…

I am hypnotised
Mesmerized
As I walk toward the fire

The fear comes over me
And then I see
The meaning of desire

If I could talk to you
Embrace you
Whisper in your ear
I would tell you

That, you are
The only,
The only thing I need

The only only only…
The only thing I need

If you could see my face
Hold my hands
Look into my eyes
I would show you

That, you are
The only
The only thing i need

The only only only…
The only thing I need

You are
The only
The only thing i need

UK born Simon Oliver Patterson started off his career as an A&R for various record labels. Like Age One, B Sorted Records, AM:PM, Ministry Of Sound and Incentive Records. His DJ career started in early 2000 as a resident for the legendary London club Serious @ The Cross

His work as a producer started in 2003 with production partner Richie Kayvan under the guise Dogzilla.

Their first single, Dogzilla was a pretty sweet trancer, especially the Simon Patterson & Richie Kayvan Remix. A fun fact is that the track was featured on the soundtrack to the british hit film The Football Factory

Your Eyes, the second single is another sweet trancer, especially after 03.55 just after the big breakdown.

Their biggest hit, the 2005 single Without You is an epic track and did pretty well in the charts. Supported by Djs like Paul Van Dyk who picked the track as his record of the year, the track was huge in most clubs around the world.

It was also re-released in 2010 with remixes by Rafael Frost and in 2012 with remixes by Simon Patterson whereas the latter was available for free on Simon Pattersons webpage but now removed.

Dogzilla’s last single, Frozen follows Without You as it’s more of a vocal track and also contains guitar-samples and is more rock-influented than a true trance-track.

Dogzilla only released 4 singles but still made a huge impact, especially with the 3rd single, Without You. Simon left Dogzilla in 2008 to pursue his solo career. A fun fact is that Richie Kayvan sings on all Dogzilla tracks.

Simon’s first solo-release, F16 was released in 2006 while Simon still was in Dogzilla. The track was later re-released in 2011 with a new mix from Nick Callaghan & Will Atkinson.

2007 saw the release of Panic Attack/Strip Search aswell as Bulldozer/We’ll See. Of the lot, all are really good tracks but Bulldozer stands out as a brutal banger, especially after the breakdown. A true classic!

2008 was a pretty productive year which started with Smack/Whatever It Takes. I just love Smack, especially the John Askew Remix which makes the banger bang even more.
Different Feeling is way more progressive than his usual productions but still has a nice vibe to it.
The followup, Us is back to the harder side of Simon. Love the lead with that angelic voice on top.

Something’s Up, the first of two collaboration with Sean Tyas is back to the slower side again. Just love the Commodore C64-arpeggios used in the track together with the piano in the breakdown. I think i’ve mentioned this before but i’m a sucker for pianos!

The second collaboration with Sean Tyas, the 2009 hit For The Most Part (with singer David Wright) is a banging vocal track. I especially love the Markus Schossow remix which is slower and more progressive.

Always, is one of my favourite Simon Patterson-tracks, so sweet, especially the female voice over the track.
Thump is another banging techtrance track from Simon, such a cool track, especially the driving bassline.

The 2010 tracks Taxi and Miss You. Both have a breakdown with a ovely piano but I prefer Miss You over the two.

2011 was quite a busy year with 4 releases
Mood Swing follows the recipy of the last few tracks with a beautiful breakdown with piano and an angelic voice on top aswell as Latika.
The collaboration with Greg Downey on Come To Me (with singer Bo Bruce) is another sweet vocal track.
Keep Quiet (with singer Luce Pullin) is another vocal track more to the commercial side of trance.
So What still keeps the techy side of Simons releases but abit slower than usual.

The last release from Simon, the 2012 track Within is back to the bangy side of Simon’s techtrance.

I just love the depth of Simon’s talents who can do tracks on such variety of tempos and still have that special Patterson-sound. I’ve seen Simon play a couple of times over the years and he has so far never disappointed me. When you go to a Patterson-gig, you know that you wont stand still. Simon is still pretty young and still has done so much in the trance community. My guess is that we’ll hear much more from Simon before he retire. He still got that drive to make bangers and as long as he’ll release them, people will dance to them!

Classic FTW: Filo & Peri feat. Fisher – Ordinary Moment

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JppO4utPAyE&w=680&h=510]

This is the 30th article in the series, so how do you celebrate that? I did by taking some time off writing.
This week’s featured track is Filo & Peri featuring Fisher – Ordinary Moment (Main Mix). (Buy on Itunes)

Lyrics:

All I want
Is an ordinary moment here with you
No distractions

Tell the world
That you’re busy doing nothing
Cancel everything
Let it go

Meet me in the kitchen at the table
I just want to be alone with you
Stare into the eyes I’ve been missing
Don’t say anything
You don’t need to

All I want
Is an ordinary moment here with you
No distractions

Tell the world
That you’re busy doing nothing
Cancel everything
Let it go

Meet me in the kitchen at the table
I just want to be alone with you

Stare into the eyes I’ve been missing
Don’t say anything
You don’t need to

Do you know?

We’ve been working so much
We’re forgetting to touch
What have we become?

Do you know that it’s a crime
To never find the time to love

We’ve been working so much
We’re forgetting to touch
What have we become?

Do you know that it’s a crime
To never find the time to… to… lo-lo-love

Goosebump points:
01:27 when the driving bass kicks in.
01:56 when the main vocals kicks in
05:02 when the piano starts in the breakdown
05:18 when the chorus starts
05:44 when the guitar kicks in
06:00 when the main melody kick in again

American born Domenick Filopei and Bo Pericic started making music back in 2003. Back then, there wasn’t many americans who you thought about when you talked about EDM/Dancemusic as the whole dancemusic-scene, especially trancemusic were mostly europeans. The only big names back then from America was BT, Gabriel & Dresden and Markus Schulz but since their success, many new names has risen to superstar-level.

But let’s get back to Filo & Peri.

The combination of Filo’s rock-influences with Peri’s dance-oriented influecens was early a proclaimed as a match made in heaven. Their first release, Elevation/Juicy got signed to Armin Van Buuren’s label, A State Of Trance which in itself is a sign of quality.

Their second release, I:95/Spectrum was even better, especially the driving bassline and the soothing piano in I:95 after the breakdown. I:95 was one of Paul Van Dyk’s hidden gems that he used to play back in the days.

Their first vocal track, the stompin’ trancer Dance With A Devil (with singer Tiff Lacey) was another commercial hit and came with a huge remix-package from DJ Shog, Serge Devant and Flipside.

The 2005 collaboration with Mike Foyle ended up in Luana, an energetic trance with a beautiful breakdown. Just love the use of the piano in all kinds of music, especially when it’s played by Mike Foyle.

Their second vocal track, Closer Now (with singer Fisher) got alot of attention, especially by Paul Van Dyk who signed it for his Politics Of Dancing 2-compilation.

Their next track, Ordinary Moment (with singer Fisher) was even signed to Vandit Records and IMHO one of their best offers so far. I’ve always been a sucker for Fisher’s voice, especially in this track. Also listen after 05.00 when the breakdown starts with that piano and her voice. When the guitar comes in shortly after that, it’s pure magic!

The followup to the wonderful trancer Ordinary Moment was actually a bootleg of Doobie Brothers’s old hit, Long Train Runnin’. The housy bootleg never got an official release but was later released with re-sung vocals by Todd Plant.

One of their biggest hits to date was the 2007 hit The Anthem (with singer Eric Lumiere). The original version is a tight production, just like Ordinary Moment but I prefer the John O’Callaghan-remix as it skips the normal lyrics and only go for the verse which makes the track dub-like. I just love the guitar in the breakdown, so epic!

The followup, Shine On (with singer Eric Lumiere) is a really great track with awesome vocal and U2-like guitar-riffs. I prefer the Aly & Fila-remix though as it’s more uplifting.

Soul And The Sun (with Eric Lumiere) has some really epic vocals, especially in the breakdown. I prefer the Guiseppe Ottaviani-remix and also really dig the more progressive Jerome Isma-Ae Remix.

The 2009 hit Ashley (with singer Aruna) is another one of Filo & Peris biggest hits. The sweet vocals by Aruna is to die for and certainly a goosebump-song, especially the Alex M.O.R.P.H.-remix.

2009 was also the year that Filo & Peri’s first artist album came out. Nightplay was a pretty decent 15-track album containing all the hits to date and also a few new ones.

There were also a couple of EP’s released like Drops Of Jupiter and Drops Of Jupiter Remixed.

The next vocal track, Off The Hook (with singer Eric Lumiere) came out in 2010 and didn’t really make any big impression on me. It’s not bad at all but just went by me music-wise. The same goes for the rest of Filo & Peri’s releases except for This Night (with singer Audrey Gallagher) which I really liked. This Night came with sweet remixes from Dash Berlin, Max Graham & Alex M.O.R.P.H. just to name a few.

The last track I liked from Filo & Peri was the collaboration with Sara Crockett & Goodbye Pluto on The Hardest Thing. It differs in sound from the previous tracks as its more Pop-ish. Love the Norin & Rad Remix though.

IMHO, Filo & Peri’s glory days were from 2006-2009 and at this period they released some major tracks which in my books all are classics. I love the vocal collaborations with Eric Lumiere, Fisher & Aruna and how their vocals together with Filo & Peri’s tracks is a match made in heaven.
