This collaboration of these two heavy weights demonstrates the positive reach and depth of today's electronic dance music, one that will keep the people dancing all night long.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The excellent deeper techier house sister at the Black Hole recordings family is the cool sublabel Fris! with some very strong releases so far. The latest one is by Yves Eaux and Ruslan Cross. Their EP includes two cuts that will become the perfect late night weapons. Shaken Not Stirred is a nearly 8 minutes deep tech house groover that has a lovely tribal latin rhythm, chopped party vocal samples and hypnotic sexy melodies. The result is a constantly evolving and involving track that is solid and booty shaking. Pure tech house pleasure for colorful nights out. Stellenbosch is on the same tribal tech house category with addictive groovy tech chunky funky beats, driving rocking basslines and cool vocal and even animal samples as well in the breakdown. Its one of those track that headphones are not helpful to enjoy it at the fullest. Only on a packed sweaty dancefloor you can enjoy the sleazy dirty sexy EP like this One. Highly recommended. Love iT!
