Karanda - Cloud Nine OUT NOW http://www.alteregorecords.com/news/1945 Mon, 14 May 2012 00:00:00 +0100

In addition to the truly explosive original marking the return of Karanda on Alter Ego Music we have two huge remixes to boot from Dutch whizkid Juventa and the very talented up and coming Russian producer Ozo Effy. Both supply two very different, ground shaking versions! ]]>

We welcome back the almighty UK production team Karanda for release sixty on Alter Ego Records with the very impressive, Cloud Nine! Having released their debut single entitled Karanda - Karanda back in 2009 on Alter Ego the boys have unleashed some magical records since then on the likes of Armada and Enhanced respectively.

In addition to the truly explosive original marking the return of Karanda on Alter Ego Music we have two huge remixes to boot from Dutch whizkid Juventa and the very talented up and coming Russian producer Ozo Effy. Both supply two very different, ground shaking versions!

Bold and beautiful springs to mind on the original mix of Cloud Nine. Karanda grab hold of the reigns with some real no nonsense percussion and underlying sub bass which grooves effortlessly! Haunting and chilling melodic lines spring to life in the breakdown which pull at the heartstrings before the track springs back into life with some hard hitting, soaring side-chained pads! More to come soon on Alter Ego Records from this daring duo!

Juventa smashes out his second remix for the label and turns in a complete floor destroyer. Packed to the rafters with high voltage peak time action! Don't miss this one!

Straight from St.Petersberg we have Ozo Effy who completes the package in style with a full on driving mix of Cloud Nine!

Miroslav Vrlik makes his debut on Inov8 Recordings with the double A side, See the Sun & Outside! With summer inspired melodies and assured beats this young Slovakian makes a great introduction for himself. Pierre In The Air and Purple Stories are on hand for two truly stellar remixes!

The original mix of See the Sun is an energetic driving affair with an abundance of dreamy sounds and lavish melodies coupled with a very memorable vocal stab and a truly divine breakdown. Hands in the air stuff from Mr.Vrlik!

Up and coming Alter Ego star Pierre In The Air does the honors on remix duties blasting See the Sun into more proggy territory. Warm and rich tones from the Australian with his chunky and extremely groovy sound, making fantastic use of the melodic finery and vocal from the original. Don't miss this one!

Rising UK producer Boxer makes his original debut on Alter Ego Progressive with the top-drawer club smasher, Fathom. Hot of the heels of his 'Carden' release Boxer again shows what a fine emerging talent he is! Rounding up release fifty-one we have remixes from stable mates LTN & Cordonnier who each supply their own blistering mixes!

The original mix is quite the techy affair driven by a huge subby bassline fused with summer inspired melodies. The huge intro build up leads to a collosal breakdown where the track really comes alight with warm impressive poignant tones where Boxer takes you from the club to the beach! Sterling work from the youngster!

LTN turns in remix one with his big room progressive edged tones along with his trademark pads and stabs coupled with a fantastic driving bass and some very silky percussion!

Rounding off the package in style we have Cordonnier, who gives us a taste of his new punchy and more groovier sound! Soaring pads with clever plucks and a real Miami themed riff! Don't miss this one!
