"Shnorkel" is the first release from eVapour8 - the new tech house/techno
sidelabel for Vapour Records, run by one of Australia's finest DJ's, Kasey
Taylor! The original mix is written by the two original members of Domestic,
Miki Litvak & Ido Ophir from Israel, and it's one badass dancefloor tune. It's
very energetic and raw with some truly amazing breakdowns and a bass that is
mean as hell. Major major dancefloor potential in this tune, and one we'll all
hear a lot this summer. Greeces best export, Dousk. Has been a favourite of mine
for some years, with memorable releases on labels like Vapour, Klik, Bedrock,
Baroque, Audio Therapy and Lost Language, and his interpretation of the already
stunning original is even better. It's not quite as raw as the original, and
even though it's a bit more clean and optimistic with some extra added pads,
it's still very energetic and dancefloor minded. Another possible summer-hit.
Antix' sideproject Fiord is up next with their remix, and it almost lives up to
the high quality of the first two mixes. I especially like the progression in
this version, where it flawlessly moves from trendy, laidback tech house to more
banging big-room techno towards the end. One of the best tracks coming from the
Strom brothers' studio in quite a while. Jamie Stevens is left with almost
impossible task to live up to the first three mixes, and he does a fairly good
job. The Aussie producer of Infusion fame keeps some of the dirty, techy edge
from the original, but in a much more stripped-down, club-friendly kind of way.
The least impressive of the three mixes, but a good tune in its own right. Well,
I can hardly imagine a better release for Kasey Taylor to start out his new
label eVapour8 - the original is a big, big tune certainly not for the
faint-hearted, and all three mixes have high quality as well, with Dousk and
Fiords versions standing out. If you're into the techno/tech house sound, this
release is one of the must-haves of the season.
