Since the beginning of the Coldharbour Recordings story in 2004, Englishman Mike Foyle has contributed immensely to the success of the label from the outset. His breakout track Space Guitar was chosen for the Coldharbour 100 remix treatment in 2010, and he has continued to receive plenty of plaudits in 2011 thanks to Headrush and his remix of Markus Schulz’s Alpha State.
With the summer season slowly reaching its conclusion, Mike returns with a beautiful double E.P. release; which is embryonic of his soul-inducing melodies.
The Global DJ Broadcast studio mixes for 2011 opened up with Shades of Red; unfinished by Mike at the time, yet Markus couldn’t resist the urge to debut the track to the world on radio. With a beautiful haunting vibe akin to his Nightshade projects, “Red” became a regular in Markus’ sets throughout GDJB and A State of Sundays leading up to the summer. Already blessed with the original and intro versions, Mike toughened up the track to add a clubby dimension, and his efforts were rewarded with a place on Markus’ Be At Space Ibiza summer 2011 compilation.
Conversely, Shades of Blue presents a calmer and deeper approach, and one which shows that the essence of Coldharbour is still alive and strong. Debuted by Markus during his Coldharbour Day set at the end of July, and receiving further plays on Global DJ Broadcast and Mike’s own show Bolted, this piano-driven beauty is one that will hook you in from the first listen alone.
Whatever shade you prefer, you’re guaranteed a quality journey either way. It again outlines why Mike is regarded as one of Coldharbour’s favorite sons.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Coldharbour ensures our trance satisfaction with another top release by the regular talent Mike Foyle who presents various shades of his creativity. Shades of Red in its original version is a big room tech trancer with progressive trance elements that simply is destined to energize any trancefloor instantly. Club reconstruction remix as you can imagine becomes even tougher and rougher more energetic and spacey with those ah ah ah classic trance vocal samples adding a really intresting connection with the past. Intro mix is useful if you wish to start your set with it but for me this is more peak time trance track to give it away from the very start. Lastly the second track is Shades of Blue. Mike faithful to his mission to make us pump up and down on the modern dancefloors he delivers a more deeper techier playfull prog trance meets housey groovy that reveals a really atmospheric beakdown that brings film soundtracks in our mind straight away. The main part is really floating like flying upon the clouds and moving from one little cloud to the other bringing in the surface memories from summer days that now are gone. This is a must have item for any Coldharbour fan that seems to be so many and faithful all over the world.
