REVIEW: Daddy - Accelerator incl Tribal Warrior remix out on Bonzai Progressive

Koen Mertens aka Daddy makes an appearance on BP with "Accelerator" which comes backed up with a superb remix. Koen's last release on Eyepatch was well received and no doubt this release will see support from all over.

The Original Mix gets us moving straight into a tech fuelled progressive groove as the intro blasts out some fine chunky kicks and tech styled percussions. A simple vocal sample adds cool textures to the sound before a deep synth riff starts to build. The bassline sets the track on fire as it churns out hypnotic rhythms. The bassline continues through the break transforming many times alongside some amazing FX work before coming right back into a full on monster tune!

Tribal Warriors is busy as always and yet again we see a side of M.I.K.E. where he gets right into the nitty gritty realm of tech on his remix. The track intros with a vocal sample and minimal percussion, out of nowhere a stunning kick blasts through as the rhythms begin to form through some tight percussions before breaking down into a fantastic French-kiss-esque bassline. The bassline relentlessly powers on drawing you in to its hypnotic rhythm while rising pads sweep through. Superbly worked track that will be a feature in many sets for sure, one to watch! 



Dimitri Kechagias review: If you look for quality underground gems be sure to check weekly the releases of Bonzai Progressive. The legendary label from Belgium continues to explore surprising territories and here we go with an excellent production by the Belgian producer Daddy. The original mix is a deep hypnotic prog house affair that combines haunting basslines and bubbly beats with cool MC style vocal samples on top. Its one of those tracks that take you on board for a journey that you are not 100% if you want to go all the way or to stop before its too late. On the same dark underground vibe is mr Tribal Warrior. The beloved MIKE delivers his stunning tough and rocking tribal house version that is rougher, harder and in your face with irresistible rhythm and groove. Its the type of remix that both prog house and even prog trance djs easily adopt! Top notch package for sure. Love iT
