Retrospect is a retro-style melodic, progressive
track with a bouncy bassline and big summer melodies.
Martin Villeneuve (MV) turns in a peak time electro-progressive
stormer, showcasing the melodies of the original, with plenty of
extra grit. Kris B & Nosmo take a more laid back approach, with techy
beats and bass, highlighting the acoustic guitar parts, sure to
rock sunrises and sunsets this summer. Michael's recent remixes for Anjuna & Black Hole have been
getting major attention from Tiesto, Armin, Oakie and all
the big guys.
DJ Reactions:
"old school house" - 4.0 / 5
Eryo (Belarus) (Mistique Music, DeepSessions)
"original a bit cheesy. Nosmo and Kris B bring it down with a more groovy style and catchy bouncy summer bassline and structure, with a big breakdown acoustic guitar making it still overall a bit cheesy, but a great summer vibe for the right place in the sun." - 2.0 / 5
Mk De (USA) (DJmix.net, Mypromopool.com)
"Nice funky electro prog tune, original is best." - 3.0 / 5

Miss Nine (Netherlands) (Turn On..., Vonyc Sessions, 925 Digital, Armada, Yoshitoshi, Harem)
"I'm favoring the Nosmo v Kris B remix in this package. Some of the higher squeaky synths in the original just stick out too much." - 3.0 / 5
