1. I Need You
2. Coast Of Alaska
Preceded by his single "Winter" and "Darling", a collaboration with Brianna Holan, Steve Kaetzel now returns with his solo project, the "I Need You EP".
Steve Kaetzel's name as a composer and sound designer for video games and short films was already firmly established when he had his first encounter with electronic dance music. In Seattle he pursued his new-found love, after which Black Hole Recordings signed Steve to the Songbird imprint, where he released an EP with the titles "Black Opal" and "Something About This". His second EP, a collaboration with vocalist Brianna Holan entitled "So Alone," received airplay on Markus Schulz's Coldharbour Day, Roger Shah's Magic Island, and Anjunabeats Worldwide. Tiësto and Sander van Doorn soon supported his remixes for such artists as Moonbeam and Zoo Brazil and Steve's subsequent releases "Floe" and "Aurora", saw a brand new 2013 follow up with the single "Winter". Steve recently collaborated with vocalist Brianna Holan on "Darling".
For this new EP, Steve produced the tracks "I Need You" and "Coast Of Alaska"; two diamonds that move from the melodic, story telling trance plains to the deeper symphonic breaks. "Coast Of Alaska" is strongly reminiscent of the ISOS spirit, while "I Need You" explores Steve's arranging skills with a moving classical break that could have been composed by the great Tomaso Albinoni himself.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Steve Kaetzel is on the rise and his latest EP on ITWT is a proof of his ability to produce wide variety of tracks and demand the attention and acceptance of the worldwide trance family. I Need You and Coast Of Alaska is two must have trance tracks for any dedicated trance lover in this planet. First of all I Need You is an energetic proglifting trancer with techy chunky beats, energetic playful basslines, warm strings and orchestral music theme that work perfectly along with the big synths to lead the track towards its epic hands in the air climax. If you like emotional trance tracks with great groove and energy you will get hooked instantly on I Need You clever twists and turns. Coast Of Alaska is an 11 minutes long unique deep progressive trancer that has the relaxing summery balearic trance atmosphere with great dreamy synths, deep haunting basslines and bubbly beats. The breakdown is quite long and cinematic with various sound effects building the tension for its cool climax. The final section is travelling, soothing and dreaming that flows really nicely like a magical journey upon wild soundwaves. Ready made for immediate use on summer open air clubs or bars. Love IT!
