REVIEW: Dem Slackers - Rocks n Stones incl remixes out on Powerhouse Music

Releases on a.o. Tiësto’s Musical Freedom, EMI Music, Ultra Music and Ministry of Sound, remixes for the likes of Bloody Beetroots, Lil Wayne, Mightyfools, Sandro Silva, Di-rect and more, performing on festivals such as Dance Valley, Mysteryland, Way Out West Festival and Lowlands, playing Privilege Ibiza alongside Tiësto and during the MTV Awards, UK and Australia tours under his belt: Dem Slackers surely is a Dutch youngster with an impressive track record to say the least. 

 His Powerhouse Music debut release Rocks n Stones, a contagious full vocal gem featuring the angelic vocals of Jerusa van Lith, comes with a fierce package. 

Toby Green (Megaton Records, Denmark), SL8 (known for his Beatport charted Fancy Fair release on Doorn Records / Spinnin) and Asonn (the young protégé of Chuckie’s co-producers GLOWINTHEDARK) handed in fine reworks of the original. 

Dimitri Kechagias review: The brand new record label Powerhouse Music established to bring you only the finest anthems presents the massive Dem Slackers vocal house gem Rocks N Stones. The extended version is a powerful uplifting progressive house slammer with punchy basslines, pumping beats, warm melodies, uplifting synths and the sweet  and so fragile voice of Jerusa who elevates the track to the next level. Toby Green remix is a much more playful harder rework with melodic breakdown and rougher wonky bass focused drops to cause mayhem on the big rooms and festivals. SL8 remix is super effective and absolutely must have if you play festival house and EDM style tracks. The breakdown is calming, sweet and sexy while the climax includes the melodic uplifting euphoric sequence but soon moves to the ultra fat and banging with earthshaking mindboggling hardstyle basslines and full on and in your face jumping beats to start dancing like there is no tomorrow. Last but not least Asonn goes big room to the maximum with party hard version that is pretty unstoppable and totally uncontrollable. Its the kind of version that djs are looking forward to play and the crowds will request it again and again. Top release not to be missed. Love IT
