1. Original Mix
Light Babies is the project of international dance music producer Micah Lukasewich and rising house music star Chris LaPietra. Formally known as "Tungsten & Wulfram" their previous releases have been played throughout clubs the world over and have been supported by many of the worlds top DJs.
Chris and Micah's new sound, pushes the boundaries of what some may call forward thinking progressive house music, launching it past previous conceptions of the genre to heights of pure originality and moments which challenge all of your senses and perceptions. With all of their music already signed to Labels such as Stripped Recordings and Black Hole Recordings ("Kids" and the "Cause & Effect EP), the Light Babies have conceived a sound which not only pays homage to their past influences but propels them further into the future of dance music itself.
"Queen of Hearts" was produced from an unreleased original by U.S. pop artist Wendy Starland. Wendy is best known for discovering Lady Gaga and landing her a production deal with Rob Fusari (Beyoncé, Jessica Simpson, Whitney Houston, etc.) that resulted in major record- and publishing deals. Wendy and Lady Gaga have written songs together over the years; Wendy also worked with Moby on his Grammy nominated album "Last Night" and collaborated with legends and Grammy winners such as Stephen Bishop, Tony Levin, Jerry Marotta, Arturo O'Farrill, Oz Noy and Conductor Luisella Chiarini with the A.C.O. Val Vibrata Symphony Orchestra in Abruzzo, Italy. A fan of their music, Wendy decided to contact the Light Babies for a remix of the track. The end result is "Queen Of Hearts", an addictive house track with a subtle progressive twist to it. A strong drum program, reminiscent of classic house anthems, serves as a rock solid foundation for some seriously moody synth chords that blend seamlessly with Wendy Starland's vocals. The undeniable underground feel of "Queen Of Hearts" should what every DJ's appetite for a peak time live set!
Dimitri Kechagias review: Wildlife is the house record label of Black Hole recordings that constantly surprise us with the wide variety of styles of house that covers with its releases. Queen Of Hearts by Light Babies featuring Wendy Starland is one of those house tracks that have personality and shine with their uniqueness and quest for innovation. The soundtrack is old school progressive house with light touch of Giorgio Moroder hi-energy disco influences to it. The melodies are quite dark and serious and the whole composition is very stable. The vocal is very impressive as Wendy sounds so 80's in a romantic and sweet way. You can drop it in your warm up part of your set and create a wonderful atmosphere for your faithful crowd. Queen of Hearts aims to become part of your Heart and seems the track will find many supporters out there particularly the underground house floors. Love iT!
