 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Niklas is definitely one of the most important and shinning new comers in the house scene. His original song Own Song that features the romantic soulful vocals by Anna Leyne is his chance to become the ultimate global hit. The original mix is playful with chunky woobly grooves, deep basslines and cinematic strings creating very pleasurable listening experience that has romantic dreamy touch. Elene remix has the tropical house touch with xylophone melodies, funky basslines and summery guitar riffs. Peer Kusiv version is even deeper groovier mysterious with vintage old school bassline, chopped vocal samples and hypnotic atmosphere that easily absorb you in its world. Lastly Boy Kiss Girl is the type of version that radio stations will adore with organic elements that make you imagine instantly that Niklas and Anna is playing live in front of your own living room. #PureGold Love It[/content]
