Two excellent house tracks from hungarian producer/DJ Zack Marullo (Morrison Recordings), 'See The Life' is a pumpin' techy deep house track, bouncy beats and bass, vocal cuts and a hypnotic wind lead that will take you to another world. 'Lost Words' is a different kind of house tune, techy shuffle, bright vibe, funky organ and a great housey progression. Yura Popov (Carica Records) remix of 'Last Words' starts with a pumpin techno groove, big dynamics and peak elements make the most of the original melosdies, taking it straight to the dancefloor. Ireland's Celtec Twinz gave us a deeper tech house remix, verbed out percussives and a killer groove with the addition of catchy vocal hits. Kris B created a monster techy beat and a darker dancefloor vibe with a chord stab and bassline driven techno/progressive club remix. Nick Stoynoff went deeper, luring you in with lush sounds then dropping it harder with a dirty funky progressive bassline and tight techy beats. Colin C. rounds out this release with a remix in a class of its own, elements of techno, progressive and industrial gel together, an 80's techy groove makes clever us of the original song in this funky infectious dancefloor friendly mix..

"See The Life: Super deep original, great composition and flow. Would mix well with early stuff. Celtic Twinz grows nicely as well. Kris B has a hot beat, approaching a more Inland Knights-type approach but keeping it deep. Nick Stoynoff adds dark buzzy synths. Looking forward to dropping the Kris B." - 4.0 / 5
