After the release, Mirco took some time off to study computer science  On on the release, there is a remix by his good friend <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Ralph+Kyau\" title=\"Ralph Kyau\" target=\"_blank\">Ralph Kyau<\/a> (from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Kyau+%26+Albert\" title=\"Kyau &amp; Albert\" target=\"_blank\">Kyau &amp; Albert<\/a>).<\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Ralph+Kyau\" title=\"Ralph Kyau\" target=\"_blank\">Ralph Kyau<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Steven+Moebius+Albert\" title=\"Steven Moebius Albert\" target=\"_blank\">Steven Moebius Albert<\/a> started their record label, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/label\/euphonic\" title=\"Euphonic\" target=\"_blank\">Euphonic <\/a>in 1997, Mirco decided to start producing again.<\/p>\n<p>His first release on Euphonic came in 1998 with the track Firebird which was featured <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Various-Euphonic-Compilation-We-Come-In-Peace\/release\/166595\" title=\"Euphonic Compilation - We Come In Peace\" target=\"_blank\">Euphonic Compilation &#8211; We Come In Peace<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The first own single on Euphonic was <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Mirco-de-Govia-Clubspring-Meets-Mindspring\/master\/103114\" title=\"Clubspring meets Mindspring\" target=\"_blank\">Clubspring Meets Mindspring,<\/a> a 2-track EP, both tracks are wellproduced <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roland_TB-303\" title=\"TB303\" target=\"_blank\">tb303<\/a>-monsters but I prefer Mindspring as it&#8217;s more in my taste.<\/p>\n<p>The second single, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Mirco-de-Govia-Epic-Monolith\/master\/103111\" title=\"Epic Monolith\" target=\"_blank\">Epic Monolith<\/a> (co-produced with <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ronski_Speed\" title=\"Ronski Speed\" target=\"_blank\">Ronski Speed<\/a>) follows the earlier singles recept with a major <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roland_TB-303\" title=\"tb303-bassline\" target=\"_blank\">tb303-bassline<\/a> and a complex buildup. The piano in the breakdown makes this an complete epic trancer. Epic Monolith was later signed to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Alex+Gold\" title=\"Alex Gold\" target=\"_blank\">Alex Gold<\/a>&#8217;s label, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/label\/Xtravaganza+Recordings\" title=\"Xtravaganza\" target=\"_blank\">Xtravaganza<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Mirco-de-Govia-Things-That-Matter\/master\/187846\" title=\"Things That Matter\" target=\"_blank\">Things That Matter<\/a> (co-produced by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Ronski+Speed\" title=\"Ronski Speed\" target=\"_blank\">Ronski Speed<\/a>) follows the earlier recipy and is a really epic trancer. Love the lead-instrument in the track.<\/p>\n<p>Mirco&#8217;s first album, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Mirco-de-Govia-Chronoscale\/master\/187844\" title=\"Chronoscale\" target=\"_blank\">Chronoscale<\/a> came out in 2003 and contained 2 cd&#8217;s. The first CD contained original tracks and the second CD contained Mirco&#8217;s remixes of other artists tracks. The album was co-produced by <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kyau_%26_Albert\" title=\"Kyau &amp; Albert\" target=\"_blank\">Kyau &amp; Albert<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ronski_Speed\" title=\"Ronski Speed\" target=\"_blank\">Ronski Speed<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The featured track, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Mirco-de-Govia-Voller-Sterne\/master\/103113\" title=\"Voller Sterne\" target=\"_blank\">Voller Sterne<\/a> 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 <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Chicane_(recording_artist)\" title=\"Chicane\" target=\"_blank\">Chicane<\/a>-ripoff with that balearic feeling and breakbeat drums. I prefer the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Super8\" title=\"Super8\" target=\"_blank\">Super8<\/a> Remix as its more driving but still keeps the warmth of Mirco&#8217;s original track.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Mirco-de-Govia-Ronski-Speed-Asarja\/master\/21847\" title=\"Asarja\" target=\"_blank\">Asarja<\/a> was another collaboration with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/artist\/Ronski+Speed\" title=\"Ronski Speed\" target=\"_blank\">Ronski Speed<\/a>. They each made a version of the track. Mirco&#8217;s version has a strong buildup, a balearic breakdown with piano and still that complexity over it. Ronski&#8217;s version is abit harder, it still keeps that balearic feeling in the breakdown and even has wave-sounds in it.<\/p>\n<p>The 2008 album, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Mirco-de-Govia-Iconic-Path\/release\/1328006\" title=\"Iconic Path\" target=\"_blank\">Iconic Path<\/a> was an all new album and contained loads of gems like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Mirco-de-Govia-Vital-Spark\/master\/103116\" title=\"Vital Spark\" target=\"_blank\">Vital Spark<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Mirco-de-Govia-Evolution-Part-2\/master\/301963\" title=\"Evolution Part II\" target=\"_blank\">Evolution Part II<\/a> along with 11 other well-produced tracks. All tracks were produced by himself and mastered by Rough Mullar a.k.a. Sonorous.<\/p>\n<p>The last release we saw from Mirco was the 2011 track, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.discogs.com\/Mirco-De-Govia-Sleeping-Beauty\/release\/3230561\" title=\"Sleeping Beauty\" target=\"_blank\">Sleeping Beauty<\/a>. While the album version is somewhat of a chillout-track, the Ronski Speed-remix is a techy monster. Love the piano in the breakdown.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Mirco has also remixed track by Above &amp; Beyond vs. Andy Moor,<br \/>\nSuper8, Kyau &amp; Albert, Sonorous, Sun Decade, Ralphie B &amp; Lasgo with good success.<\/p>\n<p>Although Mirco hasn&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>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.<br \/>\nI hope to hear some new tracks from him soon. If not, his old productions will live on forever.<\/p>\n<p>Related tracks:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YiLkVUJVH_s\" title=\"Mirco de Govia - Clubspring Meets Mindspring (Main Mix)\" target=\"_blank\">Mirco de Govia &#8211; Clubspring Meets Mindspring (Main Mix)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Q_Kk1CpenxE\" title=\"Mirco de Govia - Mindspring\" target=\"_blank\">Mirco de Govia &#8211; Mindspring<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XPtl61a4-9Y\" title=\"Mirco de Govia - Epic Monolith\" target=\"_blank\">Mirco de Govia &#8211; Epic Monolith<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=M89Vij0xsk0\" title=\"Mirco De Govia - Things That Matter\" target=\"_blank\">Mirco De Govia &#8211; Things That Matter<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=z5GASJ8OeZk)\" title=\"Mirco De Govia &amp; Ronski Speed -- Asarja (Mirco De Govia Mix)\" target=\"_blank\">Mirco De Govia &amp; Ronski Speed &#8212; Asarja (Mirco De Govia Mix)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=XsjN64N0K5k\" title=\"Mirco de Govia - Vital Spark\" target=\"_blank\">Mirco de Govia &#8211; Vital Spark<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=hDx4oXMUeKQ\" title=\"Mirco De Govia - Evolution Part II (Stoneface &amp; Terminal Remix)\" target=\"_blank\">Mirco De Govia &#8211; Evolution Part II (Stoneface &amp; Terminal Remix)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6x0HL79vL1c\" title=\"Mirco de Govia - Sleeping Beauty [Ronski Speed Remix]\" target=\"_blank\">Mirco de Govia &#8211; Sleeping Beauty [Ronski Speed Remix]<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=PreNZrWTmTw\" title=\"Above &amp; Beyond vs Andy Moor - Air for life (Mirco de Govia remix)\" target=\"_blank\">Above &amp; Beyond vs Andy Moor &#8211; Air for life (Mirco de Govia remix)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=fTv83dD9ACY\" title=\"Super8 - Cre8 (Mirco De Govia Remix)\" target=\"_blank\">Super8 &#8211; Cre8 (Mirco De Govia Remix)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=WBOXrqSRgL0\" title=\"Kyau vs. Albert - Velvet Morning (Mirco de Govia Remix)\" target=\"_blank\">Kyau vs. Albert &#8211; Velvet Morning (Mirco de Govia Remix)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qR3vG6K89e0\" title=\"Sonorous - Second Sun (Mirco de Govia Remix) \" target=\"_blank\">Sonorous &#8211; Second Sun (Mirco de Govia Remix) <\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=-Y_D6A9WGSY\" title=\"Sun Decade - I'm Alone (Mirco de Govia Vocal Remix)\" target=\"_blank\">Sun Decade &#8211; I&#8217;m Alone (Mirco de Govia Vocal Remix)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=p0HyW1a13Vs\" title=\"Lasgo - Something (Mirco De Govia Remix)\" target=\"_blank\">Lasgo &#8211; Something (Mirco De Govia Remix)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[youtube http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=94wxYsv6VA0&amp;w=680&amp;h=383] This week&#8217;s article is about a producer that has been pretty quiet the last few years.
