Ready Mix Records is pleased to present another explosive release as we continue to unearth emerging talent from across the globe. Our latest offering hails from a combination of European artists that are set to make their mark on the global dance music scene. Founders of EMMO Records Portugal, Kourosh & Ric M put forth a production that is thumping with originality. This Portuguese duo has made their marks as dj's playing alongside Luca Ricci, Pete Tha Zouk and Bob Sinclair to name a few. Heavy and energetic from the start, 'Tears' is a tribal number with an effective bassline that hits on all notes. An ethereal and floating riff is tagged on to perfection proving the duo's mastery of the progressive melody as an art form. Vocal samples are the icing that top off the track and makes it a gem. Also from Portugal, DJ Mark Voxx provides an anthemic and pumping rendition that has already been licensed to Portugal’s hottest compilation entitled Portugal Night 2007 out on Farol Music. DJ Mark Voxx does it like a pro keeping it loud and clean with a classy, festive Mediterranean feel showcasing that the next-generation of Iberican talent are to be reckoned with. Already causing havoc on Western European dancefloors this summer, this remix is set to find its way into many more sets. The next remix has been produced by Omikron whom are the young talents of Alexander Louizos and Kostas Rigopoulos from Greece. Already having released productions separately on several European & US labels such as Fiberline Audio, NRG Records & Dubcoast Records to name but a few , they are set to take the next step as a duo with this deeper more grooving interpretation. A bit more subtle than the original, they have done an exceptional job of capturing the essence of this record and uniquely musically transforming it as their own. Faded vocal samples and melodies allow the bottom end to feed and drive the song whilst keeping the prominent riff as the track's main feature. The final remix comes from Valencia’s internationally acclaimed duo, Lontano, aka Jaime Romero and David Ortolà. They put their fundamental knowledge of production to stunning effect when arranging and sequencing music on this release. Known for their hit 'Lovebass', they do not disappoint in following up their signature sound with a tightly packaged tune from start to end proudly rounding off an all around massive release for us at Ready Mix Records.
