Adam Ten & Mita Gami ‘High On EP’

Artist: Adam Ten & Mita Gami
Title: High On EP
Label: Crosstown Rebels
Cat. #: CRM278
Format: Digital
Release Date: September 16th 2022
Tracklist:
High On
Night Shift

Adam Ten and Mita Gami explain the process behind the creation of the EP: “These two tracks are special for us. Both were just great ideas that we were stuck on and didn’t finish, so we left them for a while and then came back with a fresh view,” they admit. “First, there was ‘Night Shift,’ a melodic track that fits perfectly when we want to hypnotize the dancefloor and bring them together. Then there was ‘High On,’ which is a peak time track for when we wanna go harder and deeper.”

Lorenzo de Blanck ‘Hey Baby’

Artist: Lorenzo de Blanck
Title: Hey Baby
Label: Hottrax
Cat. #: HXT093
Format: Digital
Release Date: September 9th 2022
Tracklist:
01. Hey Baby
02. Take Me High
03. Central Station

Pre order link: https://www.beatport.com/release/hey-baby/3844964

Jamie Jones’ record label Hottrax welcomes the return of Lorenzo de Blanck who drops three funk-fuelled tech house tracks with stripped-back grooves.

Lorenzo de Blanck first featured on Hottrax in 2020 and his return to the imprint has been much anticipated following the success of that first EP. Since then, he has also dropped EPs on other labels ranging from Nic Fanciulli’s Saved Records to Matthias Tanzmann’s Moon Harbour.

He has also collaborated with Philipp Straub on a track released by John Digweed’s Bedrock and has done remixes for the likes of Lee Foss’ Repopulate Mars.

Along with maintaining a busy release schedule, he also plays regular DJ sets across his home country of Italy, in addition to bookings in other parts of the world such as Ibiza, London and Barcelona.

This latest EP is another fine example of Lorenzo de Blanck’s talent for making infectious tracks that whip the dance floor into a frenzy.

“Hey Baby” opens the release with its chunky bassline and fluttering synth that swells with intensity. Its minimal sound design and spacious atmosphere let the percussion take control and the track unfolds with a steady flow of energy.

“Take Me High” is a dramatic cut with tribal percussion and a funky bassline. Its jackin’ drops add old-school flavour and its upbeat groove with hands-in-the-air energy is tailor-made for the terrace of DC10 and festival main stages.

“Central Station” is a trippy cut with a wonky synth at the heart of its groove, but it’s all about the sliced up hip hop sample that bursts forth with dramatic effect. Dark and hypnotic, this quirky track is a great little DJ tool.

To celebrate the inaugural ULTRA Beach Costa Del Sol, the event has teamed up with Ultra Records to release a collaborative compilation album. The ULTRA Beach Costa del Sol Compilation Album 2022 continues the long-standing tradition between the two dance music titans, who have repeatedly joined forces to curate the annual Ultra Music Festival Compilation Album.

The 20-track package includes singles from some of Ultra Records’ most talented producers, many of whom have taken center stage at ULTRA Worldwide events. The commemorative ULTRA Beach Costa del Sol Compilation Album 2022 takes listeners on a journey through different corners of the dance music canon, pulling together a tracklist with a diverse sonic palette.

The compilation includes two tracks by ULTRA Beach Costa Del performers – Oliver Heldens’ 90s-inspired remix of Solardo and Paul Woolford’s “Tear It Up,” and ACRAZE’s speaker-rattling collaboration alongside 4B “BANG BANG.”

The compilation also features breezy dance-pop cut “Summer in New York” by two-time Grammy-nominated duo SOFI TUKKER, who have performed at both Ultra Music Festival and ULTRA Europe.

Following his Ultra Music Festival debut last spring, high-tech minimal pioneer Boris Brejcha contributed his track “Never Stop Dancing,” a melodic techno-infused soundscape featuring Ginger.

Other compilation records include “FLOW” from hard-trap pioneers SAYMYNAME and Lit Lords, and “Save Me” from eclectic, innovative producer Party Favor.

The ULTRA Beach Costa del Sol Compilation Album 2022 is the perfect way to get psyched for the event’s first-ever edition. ULTRA Beach Costa del Sol will host two stages at the waterfront event; the ULTRA Beach Stage blasting out high-octane sounds, and the house and techno RESISTANCE Stage located at the Sohail Castle.

ULTRA Beach has welcomed tens of thousands of fans to festivals in exotic coastal locations around the world, from Croatia to Bali, so the picturesque oasis of Costa Del Sol is the natural next step for the worldwide brand’s continued expansion.
