1-Maurice Lekkerkerker vocal mix
2-Maurice Lekkerkerker dub mix

Sergii Kukuzenko ( also known as "Kukuzenko" ) a native of Donetsk, Ukraine, was born into a family of professional musicians. Sergii first began to play piano and compose music at the age of 5. Aged 12, Sergii had first taste real studio work. Inevitably, he went on to study in music school; followed by Music College, and as a logical continuation, Donetsk State Music Academy (in the name of S.S. Prokofiev). Sergii graduated in 2004, and obtained bot h a Bachelor's Degree cum laude and a Master's Degree in music (major- Jazz Piano, music arts). After university Sergii worked in Ukrainian and Russian music studios, which consisted of composition and production of music based shows, television programs, and cartoons. In order to advance his knowledge and improve skills base, Sergii moved to Los Angeles, California, where he enrolled at School of Audio Engineering (SAE) Institute of Technology. In 2008, Sergii successfully finished SAE with a diploma in sound engineering. Currently Sergii is part of international ALUMNI Network and work with producers from over the Globe. However busy Sergii's work schedule is, he always finds time to play the piano, as Jazz is an integral part of his life. Sergii is grateful that fate allowed him to meet jazz legend Dini Clarke; on several occasions, Sergii had the opportunity to play and work with Dini in his studios based in Los Angeles. Kukuzenko's tracks appeared in many radio shows and compilations such as: Planet Perfecto by Paul Oakenfold, HeavensGate by Alex M.O.R.P.H. and Woody VanEyden, Global Warm Up by Judge Jules, Melomania Deluxe by Pedro Del Mar, The Same Radio Show by Steve Anderson, and many more.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The globally known brand of HeavensGate offered us at the beginning of 2013 the second instanlment of their well known compilation. One of the tracks that debuted on this compilation is the excellent progressive vocal trancer Kiss In The Night produced by Kukuzenko from Ukraine and remixed by the young and upcoming Dutch talent Maurice Lekkerkerker who provides the two remixes. The vocal mix is the superb deep melodic proglifting trance sound that is so much popular at the moment. With playful composition, housey bubbly beats, electro touched basslines, blissful melodies, warm strings and   main melodic theme influenced from classical music. The male vocals are performed in the finest way with very sensitive, touching and emotional way. The track has very nice development and the progression of all the various soundlayers keep the interest of the listener and you never feel bored or destructed from it. In contrast your attention is sucked to its dreamy colourful feel good soundscape. Perfectly made for the summer with balearic trance influences I'm sure that many will have great time with this record. For the non vocal lovers who are a lot particularly for male vocals Fenology offers the dub mix as well. The package will include the Original and Dub mix as well. Quality always wins and keep the trance genre innovative and creative. Love iT!
