Welcome to Maktub Music, a truly international label based out of Uruguay and India. For our first release we present Smartminds, the talented producer and DJ, Freak Geuze. He is also one half of the duo Fine Taste. After singing multiple tracks to labels like Add2basket and Spinnin' Records, he comes to Maktub with a progressive electro slammer -- "The Fix."
The remix pack contains three outstanding mixes that will fit into any DJ set, starting with Mathias Bradler (Mashtronic) and Dualton's minimal techno builder. Next up is new and rising talent Ben Brown, who transforms "The Fix" into a big-room monster that's sure to become an essential tune. Finally, Alter Breed from Israel, who've already had huge releases on Tribal Vision, give us a chunky prog-electro mix, a definite floor-filler!
DJ Reactions:
"Good energy and driving bassline to this release, which should go over well on the dance floor!" - 3.0 / 5
"the original nails it, aggressive tech track with a nice builder. the rest really rather sound all the same. Mathias brings a laid back underwater atmosphere, it's nice but kind of a drowner. ben brown goes out of control with the keyshifts; hard to follow, mate. but at least you're pushing it. alter breed gives a nice twist with a new sub bassline on it its own is nice but doesn't quite fit right, something with the key structure or its not punched out enough, making it all rather busy. overall nice first release from Maktub. " - 3.5 / 5
"verry well crafted release with some great and varied styles. all versions are great but my favorite one is the deeper one by mathias bradler & dualton." - 4.5 / 5
