Review: Roy Rosenfeld's remix of "Rainchecks In Montreal" for Guy Gerber and his Rumors label is a captivating fusion of harmonies, melodies, and grooves that seamlessly delivers a pure and emotive feeling for the dancefloor. The result is a beautifully laid out melodic techno remix that captures the heart of the original while refining it to perfection - which doesn't mean sleeping on the instrumental love-ballad of the original either. Hup Hup.
Review: Israeli veteran Guy Gerber has been surprisingly quiet of late, with this EP marking his first new material for over 12 months. While a little closer in tone to regular deep house than many of the Tel Aviv producer's releases, the EP comes laden with the kind of ear-pleasing melodies and dreamy audio textures we've come to expect. Opener "What To Do" sets the tone, wrapping drowsy, filtered vocal samples, spacey chords and twinkling piano motifs around an oceans-deep groove, before Gerber gets more percussive on the creepy, Raw Silk-sampling shuffle of "Night of the Gold Diggers". The fluid "Hummingbird Blues", on the other hand, is a gently jazzy deep house number rich in rubbery acoustic bass and cascading orchestration.
Review: Sean "Puffy" Coombs decision to join forces with veteran big room house producer Guy Gerber still seems odd, despite the success of the duo's Ibiza-friendly (and free-to-download) 11 11 album. Here, one of that album's highlights, Tourist Trap, gets the big name remix treatment. Jamie Jones kicks things off with a typically woozy, bleep-heavy tech-house rework, before Gerber joins forces with David K for a dark, stripped-back take that seems to shuffle between the speakers like an old man on crack. There's more than a touch of Balearic dreaminess about Visionquest's excellent interpretation, while Soul Clap steal the show with a dreamy, woozy, electrofunk-influenced remix that's blessed with a brilliant, slowed-down breakdown.
Review: On one hand, it's quite a surprise to see one-time prog houser Guy Gerber throw his lot in with Seth Troxler's achingly hip Visionquest label. On the other, it makes perfect sense. Visionquest has long been obsessed with soft focus melodies and dreamy compositions, and "The Mirror Game" - a loose deep houser blessed with cascading melodies and progressive atmospherics - ticks all those boxes. "One Day In May" opts for a more old skool house approach, mixing shuffling, West Coast deep house percussion with woozy chords and heady vocal samples. Gerber rounds off the EP by dropping that most prog house of selections - a beatless ambient version of the comfy title track.
