TRACK REVIEWS WITH DARCY STEPHENS

1. Reflekt – Need To Feel Loved (Adam K & Soha Vocal Mix)
I could listen to this song all day, everyday. I have a weird obsession with cinematic strings, in this mix it’s with Thomas Newmans ‘Ghosts’. The chord progression mixed with touching vocals is so flowing and the whole tune itself is clean and neat and is so very very easy to listen to.
2. Nova Amor – From Gold (Bassmelodie X MBP Remix)
I never ever got into deep house, until I listened to this tune. Any record with a violin catches my eye straight away. Easy listening vocals with a tight bass immediately brings upon the summer feels. Strong synths and tribe-like percussion tops off a great sounding track.
3. Royal Dynamic Feat Mr X – Hip Hop (Original Mix)
Oldie but a goldie, I play this in every single set and the crowd thrives on it every time. The driving kick and bassline is bound to break necks at any venue. Simple but effective, well-known vocals and reverbed minimal percussion attracts anyone. In conclusion, its just one of those songs you want to slap walls to!
4. Ed Sheeran – I see Fire (Kygo Remix)
You would have to be silly if you haven’t heard the original let alone Kygos remix.
The acoustic guitar mixed with an easygoing chilled kick/bass is heavenly.
Honestly I couldn’t describe all the aspects Kygos used but it’s a must listen, you will fall in love with it.
5. Zac Waters – No Quarter
The vibe was massive for this release, and Zac delivered. The vocal cuts used will be stuck in your head for days. If people know me, I love anything dark and this choir like tune will make your head spin. The whole record is clever done, and will make an empty dance floor full in seconds.
