REVIEW: Dirkie Coetzee featuring Emma Lock - Never Looking Back out on Subtraxx

1 - Never Looking Back - Original Mix
2 - Never Looking Back - Tommy Baynen Remix
3 - Never Looking Back - Neo Kekkonen Remix
4 - Never Looking Back - Unique DJ Remix 

Dirkie Coetzee is one of the strongest flag bearers of rising trance scene of South Africa. His strong sense of melody caught our ears from the start.

In Never Looking Back, talented vocalist Emma Lock, with previous releases on labels such as Armada and Black Hole, delivers the catchy vocals.

Original Mix is a laid-back progressive trance track concentrating on the subtle vocals of Emma.

Our in-house artist Tommy Baynen uses is superb production skills to make a track that bows to the biggest vocal trance out there, while keeping the out come really modern with out being cheesy a single bit.

Camouflage imprints leading name Neo Kekkonen takes the track up a notch and delivers a remix with bit more aggressive feeling. The rolling basses and driving beat ensures the track is really four to the floor.

This package is completed with a remix by Dirkies fellow country man, Unique DJ. His remix approaches from electro trance view a la Dangerbox.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Subtraxx is one of the highest quality progressive trance/house record labels at the moment. Each and every single release is simply a jewel in your digital collection. The brand new release by Dirkie is an awesome feelgood melancholic vocal trancer with Emma Lock who always stands out with her lyrics and her voice of course. She sounds so fragile and sensitive that you simply can not get her out of your head. The original is a wonderful dreamy prog trancer with full use of the vocals and great little melodies coming and going creating a really relaxing and soothing atmosphere. Tommy adds more bounce to the beat and pushes the track at the forefront of progressive trance sets on a remix that is high quality from its first second till its last. Its travelling with bubbly beats and great highlight of the main melodies. Neo who is simply amazing producer offers the peak time uplifting version with electro prog and tech trance elements creating an anthem for sure.  Unique Djs adds some dirt and filth with a big electro trance version that bounces and grooves with an exceptional breakdown with Emma's breath and piano like heavenly melodies. You will get shivers all over your body. As you will notice Subtraxx has a brand new artwork as well that looks a lot better than the previous covers. Highly recommended!
