Fuzzy Recordings proudly presents Mike EFEX’s 7 30/ Luna Lena release. Mike EFEX has been no stranger in the EDM industry and has past originals and remixes that can be found on labels such as Armada Music, Infrasonic Music, Neuroscience Recordings and many more with multiple supports from the world’s top 100 DJs. This talented and all around producer has been constantly evolving and innovating his own style and sounds as an artist and we couldn't be any happier with this release. First up is Mike’s original mix of “7 30”. The track starts off with strong ambient pads and vocal cuts. Once the deep bassline digresses the hi-hats and chords slowly come into play and the track explodes into a seriously groovy track. The perfectly designed kick and percussions accompanied by the bouncy side-chained bassline and beautiful chords arrangement is pure progressive bliss. Our Fuzzy review staff couldn’t help but head bob and groove along with the beat. The stereo imaging and reverb of the vocals and guitar certainly brings a nice summery layback vibe and is simply the frosting of the already delicious cake.From Liverpool UK, James Ardrey AKA Mindset brings a super mellow “Midnight Drive” version of Mike’s track “7 30”. Mindset does a superb reinterpretation of the tune by slowing the initial tempo down and chilled to a steady 122BPM. This remix starts off with a soft kick and phased/flanged pad that really brings out the warmth of the track. With added intelligent synths, percussions, the right amount of vocals and an overall steady progression, this track is a cooler than a Tauntaun riding through a blizzard on Hoth.Moving on to the other stunning original from Mike Efex is his track “Luna Lena”. This tune features a deep driving bassline and drum pattern and revolves around a nicely reverbed main synth melody and pockets of soft soothing guitar. The next and last remixer on the featured release is Aquareef. Definitely making a name for himself the past couple of years, this talented German artist has done a fine job at remix duty. While maintaining the same deep driving bassline Aquareef has also slowed the track down to 125BPM, softens up the kick, and reinvented the main synth melody into to a chord synth.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Fuzzy recordings is on great shape with quality releases that will touch you deep inside and will definitely win a small or large space in your heart. The latest one comes from MIKE EFX who is well known for his tech trance releases. His EP on Fuzzy is his more melodic balearic side. Beautiful ambient soundscapes combined with bubbly beats, driving basslines and cool balearic quitar riffs to make you close your eyes and start dreaming and dancing straight away. Its the kind of tracks that sooths, relax, rejuvanate, and calm down but at the same time make you dance and feel the colorful synths coming and going. Both remixers complete their duties really well and reveal each one different hidden moments of the originals. Quality EP, Love iT!
