Hot on the heels from his most recent No.1 Minimal House hits 'You're Not Alone', 'Something In The Air' and 'Out At Night', Zurich’s DANIEL PORTMAN returns to Unreleased Digital for his next promising release on the label.
Title track MANTENIDO digresses from the dark synth-laden sound scope that has pervaded his two previous Unreleased Digital releases for a summerish but still hard-hitting track of glitchy and grainy Progressive House. Breakdowns convince with latin influenced melodic parts that lift the track onto an even higher base, and is a sure guarantee to get your crowd on fire and sing along, instantly.
Jumping between minimalistic beats and toe-tapping percussion melodies, EVERYBODY portrays an all-out affair of grinding Minimal House, creating a pairing of muscle and melodics that compliment each other with a sense of unified energy.
Third track on the EP is called SWISS ALPS. Using his signature offbeat minimal sound scope, Daniel Portman draws the track with a whirlwind of melodic leads in breakdowns, utilizing the folk-edged cowbell melody with a crescendo of caressing synth sweeps. When it comes back to the drop, he surprises with a juxtaposing low-end maneuver and warm synth work to the avail of another tempered track of club and festival proof grandeur.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Unreleased Digital becomes synonymous of highly eclectic progressive/tech house releases that stand out and become instantly part of the playlist of the biggest names in the EDM industry. Now its the right time for Daniel Portman to offer us his spring track perfect to raise up the temperature and keep us warm and ready for the summer madness. First of all Everybody is an interesting minimalistic tech house groover that has as main ingredients a very cool electronic style melody and chopped male vocal sample. Mantenido is the more upfront Daniel Portman side that will be welcomed from prime time djs who like something more in your face. The track is quite a surprising mixture of the well known techy beats that Daniel is known for, little electronic style melodies on top and sudden siren sound effects that lead on the breakdown that a feel good carnival style accordion melody is revealed to uplift the spirit. Of course little vocal sample take us back were we started from for the final section of it. Last but not least Swiss Alps will satisfy particularly the more tech minded friends of Daniel with twisted dirty parts, minimalistic style melody, vocal sample and haunting threatening breakdown. Love iT!
