Tribal Warriors aka M.I.K.E. aka Push returns in explosive fashion with a highly infectious slice of techno, backed up with quality remixes that are sure to rock the floors.
Mike Dierickx really needs no introduction, one of the hardest working artists on the scene we are all very well familiar with the scope of his amazing talents as a DJ, producer and highly sought after remix artist. Tribal Warriors last release came back in 2002 with "Spirits In Love" on Bonzai Limited and was a top club track for a long time after, now he's back with that unique vibe and a modern twist on this track entitled "08".
The original mix fits right into the techno grooves of today with a classic kick and percussion intro with a subtle bassline waiting in the wings. The tune builds up to some quality tech synth work with a retro vibe oozing from the sound. A huge monster of a tune which will be on a lot of playlists for sure.
Popular visitor to Basiks Jamez delivers a sublime take with his Jamez's Peace and Love Remix. The funk is turned up a notch with a stunning bassline. Hypnotic percs are a big focus here but the main event is on the synths. Superbly crisp and clear old style synth pushes this track up to peak time status and will be a feature on many floors around the world, brilliant stuff.
Ugur Yurt & Tofke are no strangers either and they pull out all the stops to deliver a wonderful remix full of depth and a tribal twist. Surreal basses intro the track with bongos and tablas giving that tribal element while a siren like synth hits you between the eyes and we settle in for an energetic ride. On the break things heat up with quality FX and a riser kicking us right back into this strong, solid groove.
A welcome return for a project that was hugely respected and missed for all these years, welcome back Tribal Warriors!
Exclusive interview with Mike on bonzai progressive official site:
Dimitri Kechagias review: It's amazing news that MIKE aka PUSH is working currently on a new PUSH album and what is more he will release more new tracks under his Bonzai classic projects. Now its time for his techno project Tribal Warriors to strike back and add some serious bounce and dark vibes in your sets. His brand new anthem is called 08 and is simply mindblowing. Tribal techno grooves at its very best with some distorted vocal samples and tough dark haunting basslines. Great mixture of minimal techno with more tough tribal beats in its climax to uplift the clubfloor straight away. The awesome Jamez is on board as well and he service an excellent make over that is warmer with old school piano chords, bubbly deep basslines, minimal tribal beats and the vocal samples on the background. It starts minimal but builds up slowly until to reach a massive eargasmic climax. Last but not least Ugur Yurt & Tofke transform the tougher original into a minimal tech house beauty that will hook you straight away. Superb percussion, siren like synthy little riffs that create an urgency, cool sound effects to add more richness and depth to the soundscape and the cool vocal samples creating an explosive mixture and undeniable rhythm for the clubbers. Welcome back MIKE to Bonzai family, Love IT!
