Heartik – Tender Surrender EP

New EP on 1605 by Heartik. Compiled of 3 tracks in total, 2 originals and 1 remix. The first tracks is ‘Mermaids Call’, this is a nice bouncy track with a high plucky riff and some atmospheric builds. I like the breakdown especially and the use of bells in the build and drop. Next up is ‘Tender Surrender’, this one has loads going on in it and they all work perfectly together. On the breakdown it starts with a dirty stabby synth then changes to a high pitch riff before building up to a great drop. I love this tune, it weirdly reminds me of the old track ‘Nightrain’. The last track is a ‘the dolphins remix’ of Tender Surrender, it’s a bit more chilled than the original and has a very distinct, and well eq’ed hi-hat which really stands out to me. This version has a nice long riser before a big techy drop, great tune! 🙂

  • Lowboys – Bleed Out – Some awesome shakers in this and I love the drums too. Big stabby synth pattern which makes the track, nice and upbeat!
  • Lutzenkirchen – Snoop – This one is carried by its synths, has some really deep bass underneath. Good track!
  • Mihalis Safras – Barabas (Heiko Laux Remix) – Old skool synth sound to this one with loads of filtering. Goes quite deep, loads of elements coming in and out. A very nice and complex tune, great production!

UMEK & Heartik – Unlock My Synth Vein

Something fresh on 1605 Records. I gotta say, I absolutely love this! It’s got a really nice melody with a great breakdown, build and drop. This has a slight oriental feel if you ask me, it’s awesome! I will certainly be dropping this both in the clubs and on my radio show. Big bass hook and big techy drums, this is a winner!

Heartik & Sebastien Leger – Spaguette EP

A two part EP released on Dutch label ‘100% Pure’. First up is the track ‘Spaguette’, well this is a bit of a strange one! Not sure if it’s a main room club anthem but there is something there that I really like, maybe it’s the melody and the bass undertones?! Whatever it is, it makes my head bounce and I like that! Next up is ‘Breaking Pad’ which is a main room banger! A huge bassline complimented by some nice skippy drums and offbeat snares. Big release, have a listen!
