Sander van Doorn, Lange + more support!

Joni Ljungqvist is no stranger to Enhanced as he follows a string of superb remixes and originals on the label, and warms us up for his imminent return with Bakke under their Bakke & Joni guise; who were responsible for the huge 'Bali' release a couple of years ago.

Listening to this EP it is clear to hear how much Joni's production has come along; crisp, tight and packed full of the wonderful melodies and chords that has made him such a favourite of the trance scene and a staple in the musical diets of the likes of Armin van Buuren, Tiesto and Markus Schulz.

The title track, Lighthouses and Shorelines demonstrates what this young guy is all about; groovy melodic trance, but also sees him move towards a more uplifting take on his usual style. This is definitely a stand out track for any set, perfect to bridge the gap between progressive and uplifting trance and most importantly, set the dancefloor alight!

On the flip; although it can't really be called a b side, is the fantastic Linger; a track Will Holland used on his recent Digitally Enhanced Volume Two album.  From the off the track rolls and rolls, it's just impossible to ignore the groove, and added to that is a classic Ljungqvist hypnotic lead that sucks you in for the full 7 minutes!

A stand out release from JPL!

SUPPORT: Activa, Adam Nickey, Adam White, Daniel Kandi, DJ Orkidea, DJ Shah, Flash Brothers, Jon O'Bir, Lange, Manuel Le Saux, MIKE, Mike Shiver, Ruben de Ronde, Sander Van Doorn, Signum, Tom Colontonio, Will Holland and many more!

Polls and Reviews / Estiva - Les Fleurs EP *ASOT Support*
« on: March 09, 2009, 12:48:11 pm »


Armin van Buuren (ASOT), Markus Schulz (GDJB), Super8 & Tab, Kyau & Albert, Daniel Kandi, Manuel Le Saux, Ernesto & Bastian, Will Holland and many many more!!

Estiva is no stranger to Enhanced. His debut single 'Stella' was heavily supported by all the major DJ's and featured on compilations such as Armin van Buuren's ASOT yearmix. His last offering on Enhanced 'Strawberry Fields' was crowned Tune of the Month in the world's biggest music magazine- Mixmag, and his recent collaboration with fellow Enhanced artist Marninx entitled 'Casa Grande' on found its way onto the massive In Search Of Sunrise series from Tiesto.

Later this spring, Estiva will show us what he is capable of behind the decks, when he teams up with Temple One to deliver us Enhanced Sessions Volume One - a new dj mix series from Enhanced artists.

He warms us up for this in classic Estiva style with his beautiful melodies and stunning overall production.

Every track packed with emotion, as with all Estiva EP's make it very hard to pick a favourite. First up,  is Les Fleurs which optimises his style, gorgeous summer trance, you really could be forgiven for thinking you're on a beach when you hear this; stunning.

 Fading Freedom picks up the pace but continues where Les Fleurs left off, and Estiva has crafted one of his superb Tech mixes that takes the track towards the business end of the night.

Finally and definitely not least is Like A Dream. A more chilled progressive outing from Estiva, however still encompassing all the elements that make this guy someone we are so fond of.
   
Good luck picking your favourite... this is brilliant stuff if we may say so ourselves!

A stand out release from JPL!


Joni Ljungqvist from Sweden is a producer with quite an impressive discography. He had his big breakthrough in 2005 when his People I Used To Know was featured on Tiesto's In Search of Sunrise 4. This was not his last appearance on this famous compilation series as he had a track featured on #5 and #7 as well. Joni is no stranger to Enhanced Recordings. He did a remix of Will Holland's Timeless and collaborated with Terje Bakke on the track Bali. The followup to Bali is also on its way. He is now debuting with a solo project on Enhanced and that would be under his JPL guise. First track is the title of this ep, Lighthouses and Shorelines. The second track is Linger which featured on Digitally Enhanced Volume 2.

My Review
The A-side aka Lighthouses & Shorelines reminds me of Joni's older LNQ productions. I simply love every single bit of this production. The unique kick resembles some of the punchiness that Airwave incorporates in his kick drums and it still has a more soft progressive oriented edge. The dreamy Joni pads, as we know them, are doing a fine job and the dreamy synths has that fantastic signature of his, without sounding used or already-tried-and-tested. The bpm-meter is only showing 130 and yet this is as uplifting as something running at 140. Uplifting, melodic, progressive, groovy and probably one of the best tunes I have heard this year.

Linger is a special track. Only Will Holland and Joni himself has played this before the release of the Digitally Enhanced Volume 2, where it was featured on. It is one of those tunes that sounds extremely simple but yet it holds some extraordinary qualities. It has a sweet groovy basslines, some crisp percussion and rolling melody backed up by some floaty pads.

Verdict
This is where I am supposed to both rate it and come up with some constructive feedback but honestly, I find that both productions are spot on. I really do not know if there is anything that should have been done differently. Both tunes are equally good and the release gets a 9/10. I will round things off by saying Joni Ljungqvist is back!!

Having seen support across the board including Tune of the week on Armin’s ASOT show, Enhanced decided to compliment Hydrogen with an extra set of remixes. This one is definately for all the uplifting fans out there;
 
The first remix is from Michael Angelo. A powerful piece of trance which is built well around the original version. Michael's interpretation offers a tight production without the raw edges one can sense in the original. Coming straight out of Belgium is megastar Ferry Tayle to finish things off. A more laidback approach this time but still keeping it uplifting and offering some incredible melodies.

Hodel & Hornblad - Hydrogen (Michael Angelo & Ferry Tayle Remixes) - Exclusives @ Audiojelly today!


Having seen fantastic support across the board in its Original, David Newsum and Sundriver form; the latter of which was named Tune of the Week on ASOT, Hodel & Hornblad's massive 'Hydrogen' is back with two colossal remixes!

First up is Michael Angelo with a remix that takes the track to thunderous heights. Just under eight minutes of brilliant power trance, as Michael dubs the lead and takes the track into 2009 in fine style.

Ferry Tayle delivers an equally fine mix with great crisp production and a more laid back approach than Michael; however this is still one remix destined for peak time action!

Coming out of Berlin, Germany, Enhanced Recordings presents Stefan Pietack, also known as MoodFreak and Modified Frequencies. Representing sublime melodic progressive house with a hint of electro, MoodFreak is making his full debut on Enhanced Progressive.
 
Enhanced welcomed this new talent by recently featuring no less than 4 productions on the critically acclaimed Digitally Enhanced Volume 2 compilation, which was hailed by Mixmag as ‘Compilation of the Month.’
 
Having already impressed with outstanding remixes of Sequentia’s single ‘Eclipse’ and Jan Johnston & Jussi Soro’s ‘Merge,’ the long awaited debut is finally here from this super-hot producer.

Far From You delivers an electro tinged bassline with the typical smooth, laid back MoodFreak production style and loaded with his gorgeous pads and melodies which should keep you warm during the winter season.

In Your Face is punchy and wonderfully groovy number with great choppy percussion and string stabs.

Mango steps of for the remix after being embraced by many fans of the progressive house genre in 2008 – an artist we really expect to have a well deserved break through in 2009. He delivers a brilliant mix of Far From You with great chord progression and still maintaining a raw electro edge to the track.

Polls and Reviews / Deepwide - Take Me In / River [Enhanced Recordings]
« on: January 05, 2009, 03:49:32 pm »


1. Take Me In
2. River
3. Take Me In (Adymus Remix)

Exclusively @ Audiojelly NOW!

Our favourite Finnish duo Matti & Tommi aka Deepwide are back with possibly their best release to date.

Firstly, they team up with American Josh Money (who also penned and sung the vocals on Abdul Bayyari's huge '400 Years Til Dawn') to produce a stirring, moody outing that shows a real different side to their trademark polished driving material.

As you heard on their excellent Kylkai release earlier this year, Deepwide have a superb ability to create breathtaking soundscapes whilst creating enough excitement to create havoc on the dancefloor.

Take Me In does just that; the perfect bridge between progressive and uplifting trance, with a breakdown to die for and superb lyrics from Josh Money.

On the flip, they don their trance pants and turn out the awesome River. A track that Will Holland featured on Masters Series Vol One this summer, and subsequently we've been inundated with requests and people begging for it to be unleashed!

This is what Deepwide do so well, gloriously smooth, understated uplifting trance that pushes all the right buttons. Groovy, banging bottom end, spine tingling soaring pads and a climax to literally lose yourself over.

Hot American Adymus warms us up for his debut EP on Enhanced with a brilliant remix of Take Me In. Electrofying the bassline whilst adding his own great signature pads and fx really brings out the best of the original and takes it in a whole new direction.

A release we're very excited about and no doubt you will be as well after the massive support it's seen from the biggest DJ's around!

Chad Cisneros and Dave Reed have made quite an appearance in 2008. They have releases and remixes out on recognized labels like Anjunabeats, Anjunadeep, Levare, Coldharbour and Fraction. They didn't think it was a good time to take a break so now they're here with another release on Will Holland's Enhanced Recordings. The release contains two original tracks Somnium and Photographique.

Somnium
A relatively short tune that cuts straight to the chase and runs on 138 beats per minute. Beautiful melody that carries the track from start to finish. I feel that this is something different from this duo. This is much more uplifting than anything I've heard from them before.

Photographique
Again the listener is not bored with long and tiring build-ups. The melody starts at an early point and keeps you happy all the way through. However this might be well-produced but it just never peaks. It feels like this track is just a filler.

These are both two beautiful tracks and each has something to offer. I find it very hard to pick a favourite here. First I was hooked on Somnium, and now Photographique is stuck in my head. Perfect to build up a proper set and it will make a huge difference if they're mixed in and out properly. Don't miss out!

You can preview each track on the Enhanced website.

This is probably one of the most anticipated Enhanced tunes this year. The Alex M.O.R.P.H. & Woody van Eyden remix has already had quite a few plays on the Enhanced Recordings Radio Show and even though it has only been a week since the promotion started some of the big jocks have already picked it up. This is 1 out of 3 vocal projects that Will Holland has done, and the tunes to follow are named "Arctic Kiss" and "Things That Happen. Will Holland teamed up with an experienced Russian singer by the name Yana Kay. Let's have a look at it.

Alex M.O.R.P.H. b2b Woody van Eyden Remix
Starting out with a really heavy kick and building its way up to some beautiful and lush melodies. The breakdown is my favourite part where Yana Kay sings "If you see me walking down the street all I do is smile" - "but don't look in my eyes" - "cause you see what I hide". Breathtaking remix they worked out here and by far one of the most well done remixes I have heard this year. In fact the best I've heard from this duo in 2008.

Monogato Remix
As expected a very deep remix from Peter Smit aka. Monogato. Has a really warming sound to it but I would have preferred it with less use of the vocals. His style and Yana's vocal just aren't in perfect harmony.

After Meridian Remix
Slightly dark progressive trance remix from After Meridian. This remix stands out with the dreamy arpeggio used in the breakdown. Appart from the break the production isn't that inspiring and I can recognize quite a few elements from other big tracks.

Electricano Remix
This remix is a bit more on the house side of things. Electricano is unknown to me but I certainly won't forget about him know. He pushes the vocal forward in this production support it with some minimal and housy sounds. It actually sounds like a production that could really become commercially succesful.

Original Mix
I would say that the style of this track could be described as a "laidback uplifter". Sounds weird doesn't it? Will didn't "rush" anything in this production but took his time to build up the tune. Makes use of a stutter effect that weren't used in any of the other mixes. Loving the piano which makes the production a bit more sophisticated.

Mix 1, 4 and 5 are really fantastic. What really makes a difference on this record is Yana's beautiful vocals. Hoping to hear more from her soon. This release has something for everyone and also has the Enhanced Quality Seal stamp.
