1. Original Mix
2. Cosmic Gate Remix
3. Wippenberg Remix
4. Figure Remix
5. Sydney Blu Remix
6. JQA Remix

Superlative songstress Luciana teams with the hit-making DJ/production duo known as Manufactured Superstars on this latest feel-great tune, “Calling All The Lovers.”

Pushing Luciana’s ample vocal talents to the max, the Manufactured Superstars (aka Bradley Roulier and Shawn Sabo) have created a surefire hit to follow-up their last single, “Top Of The World” (the latter featuring UFC Octagon babe, Arianny Celeste).

The production on the Radio Edit of “Calling All The Lovers” is fat, juicy and delicious, allowing Luciana’s swagger to take front-and-center while keeping this a tightly controlled song ready for commercial radio and TV/film synchronization.

Friends and co-conspirators, JQA (formerly known as Jquintel & Jeziel Quintela) make their moves with the filthily produced and mind-blowingly syncopated JQA Remix. This version is positively suited for the big-room superclubs and outdoor festival crowds that will certainly embrace this edit during summer 2013. The JQA Remix takes the already meaty build and stretches it out for an agonizingly good time….until the crash washes over the listener in a snarling, electro-tinged firestorm.

Toronto native, Sydney Blu, puts her own techno-loving touch to “Calling All The Lovers” by teasing mercilessly with her come-hither remix before bringing in Luciana’s vocal. The payoff is Luciana’s deft vox seemingly tweaked into a freaky siren’s call that erupts as sinister progressive-house horns come bouncing into the room.

The Figure Remix puts an insistent dubstep attitude to the song and forces Luciana’s dexterous vocals even farther to the front of the stage. Hissing, growling, gut-rumbling dubstep synths and booming basslines nearly overtake this remix if not for the fact that this edit is so well balanced.

German music meisters, Cosmic Gate, bestow their signature brand of electrifying, soaring trance on their remix of the song, elevating it from pop tune to peak-time festival madness. This edit is sure to please. The Wippenberg Remix is a headstrong ode to danceability and the celebratory tone is so effusive as to be nearly maniacal.

The Extended Mix is a nod to old-school house music with a flowing bassline and warm 4/4 beat as inviting as gooey, melting chocolate over a moist slice of cake. Amazingly, Luciana’s vocals work equally well in each of these contrasting remixes, a testament to the Manufactured Superstars’ knack for writing songs that work in a multitude of environments.

Whether partying with the Manufactured Superstars in New York at LAVO or Finale, or in Las Vegas at XS Club, or in Denver at Beta Nighclub – downing Champagne with movie stars and professional athletes all the while – one thing is clear. These guys mean business, and their business is rockin’ the party!
 
Dimitri Kechagias review: The fantastic Manufactured Superstars who manage very quickly to become one of the hottest duos in the global house scene release another magnificent track that is destined to become an anthem in wide variety of floors if you check ou the names that add their remix touches on Calling All The Lovers. The original mix is full rocking  groovy tribal house affair with melodic elements and as the cherry  on the cake the finest Luciana's vocals so far. You simply want to start moving and dancing when you hear her enthusiastic voice. The package comes with the hottest stars on board. Cosmic Gate never fail to impress and in this case they deliver another Just Perfect and Really Amazing remix  that walks in the verge of epic progressive house and progressive trance so I can imagine djs from different backgrounds to find useful tool this exceptional remix to attack their dancefloors. Playful chunky progressive house beats, electro kissed basslines and massive drops with synths that will raise the hair from your back and bring some fresh air on the dancefloor. Luciana's vocals works really well with Cosmic Gate so why not to see them collaborating in the future. The package includes a massive Wippenberg remix and we all hope this means that the much loved project will return with brand new tracks on Black Hole labels. Wippenberg adopts the epic Swedish progressive house formula and he transforms the track into a manic hands in the air anthem that the various melodic layers are combined perfectly with the punchy pumping wonky basslines. We need more Wippenberg music soon... Figure remix is an imaginative creative dubstep version with rioting weird distorted basslines and some vocals and melodies here and there with that cinematic touch too. Sydney Blu is on board as well to spice up the original version with some female sensibility and service her full on banging epic prog house sound that is energetic to the core with interesting main section that has great flow and feel good sound. You can not stop thinking Ibiza dancefloors when you drop this. Last but not least JQA having their piece of fame in this release with their booming vavooming and very pleasing sound. So sexy and full of rhythm with great melodic breakdown with piano chords and huge synthy stabs to excite a whole stadium. Wonky dirty and sleazy the main part will get you dancing even if you are tired and not up for it. We Call All the EDM Lovers out there? Can you hear us?? Love iT!
