Review: Larse - Without You ft. Obi Frank (inc. Summit Fever & LRS Remixes) (Vash Recordings)

Fans of internationally acclaimed DJ and Producer from Dortmund, Larse releasess a typically soulful house EP with remixes by Summit Fever and LRS that you'll not want to be without. 

Following standout releases like 'So Long' plus his smash remixes of Candi Staton’s 'Hallelujah Anyway' and Louis Baker's 'Keep On' (that featured on last months' Colour & Pitch Mix, see review HERE), DJ and producer Larse announces the launch of his very own label, Vash Recordings, with single 'Without You' featuring Obi Franky.

The 'Summit Fever' remix is very 'back in the day' 90s peak Pete Tong which is kind of appropriate as Larse himself initially made his name at that time on Germany's music scene which led to being on 1LIVE Radio and then a 15 year long gig hosting '1LIVE Klubbing' and appearances worldwide.

'Without You' and the label are his next steps - the extended version of the LRS remix is my current favourite, but all is good here.

Review: Louis Baker - Keep On Remixes #2 (Best's Friends Remixes w/ Larse, Delfonic and Gush Collective) (Best's Friends)

If you're a fan of the label Best Works, you'll be a fan of Best Friends as the key partnership of DJ André Lodemann and A&R manager, promoter and radio host Daniel W Best put all their efforts into a mega remix package that Best Friends 'Keep On'.

Of course there's an element of sadness behind this as the Berlin links with New Zealand are ever present, particularly as Fat Freddy's Drop, Chris 'Mu' Faiumu sadly passed away on 17th July this year, RIP), which originally led to the  Louis Baker 'Keep On Remixes #1 (see review HERE).

So keen on this modern soul classic track, the team have gone extra miling with Larse (x4 - remix, extension, instrumental, extended instrumental), Deflonic (x3 - remix, extended remix and instrumental) and Gush Collective and (x4 - remix, dub,extended instrumental and dub): 16 remix version in total!

Now I know you'll be thinking that's all a bit more but wait to you here them all in a row; it's such a great track with such a great message.  It's more than fitting that Sumsuch's tribute to Alex Kentucky includes the Larse remix of the latest Colour & Pitch Sessions mix; our thoughts go out to Alex's family and friends, RIP. 

We know Delfonic from the reverent 'Roy Ayers Delfonic Reworked #1' EP on BBE and other jazzy edits.  This one's more discofied whilst Gush Collective get old skool Co-Op BRUK.

As much as you need Remixes #1, Part 2 metaphorically cleans up so keep on and stay strong with this.
