1.A Leap Of Faith (Original Mix)
2.A Leap Of Faith (David Granha Remix)
3.A Leap Of Faith (Synthetic Remix)
4.A Leap Of Faith (Vulcan Boen Remix)


Karim Shaker is back from never-gone. No stranger to the global clubbing society, the Spanish DJ/producer makes his grand solo-entrance on the Electronic Elements label with his new track ‘A Leap of Faith’.

Karim Shaker has been in love with the never-ending beat of EDM for more than 15 years and became known as one half of tech-house duo Simon & Shaker. After years of successfully collaborating, the guys decided to head down the solo path. After his ‘Ambassador’, the Electronic Elements gets a first taste of his road to musical freedom with the deep and ingeniously melodic ‘A Leap Of Faith’. A heavy, loaded track, drawing you into its maze of intricate arranges, putting a melancholic touch to the ongoing beat of progressive.

Spanish producer David Granha  was one of the invitees for remix duties on ‘A Leap of Faith’. His remix gives you o ne solid flow of melody, tech-house beats and an electrifying outburst of a break. The Synthetic remix stays on the deeper edge of prog-house, focusing on the pounding bass and warmth of the melody. Last but not least, Vulcan Boen gives you a stripped down ‘A Leap Of Faith’, big room in all ways and means.




Dimitri Kechagias review:  What can I say or maybe write to be exact  about this stunning release. Sometimes when you check a track  you do other things as well but with this particular release I stoped everything that I was doing and I payed closer attention to it cause its melodic theme is so fantastic that you can only remain silent to experience it with all your senses. It has such an amazing drive and intensity and that melodramatic epic melody that recalls film soundtracks. The remix package is fantastic with David Granha providing a 9 minutes epic remix that reminds me progressive house tracks from the past that despite being really long always were really pleasureable and packed with action. The breakdown is so good that I guess anyone who will be inside the club even the security will get under its hypnotic out of this world influence. Synthetic Remix goes all minimal prog house with great use of that big theme in smaller doses.  Lastly Vulcan Boen provides another magnificent translation with bubbly prog tech house beats and focus upon the mysterious atmosphere that this melody creates and invites the listener to escape within.Top STUFF, Highly recommended!
