REVIEW: Daniel Portman - Crusader out on Unreleased Digital / Sirup Music

Sometimes you have to let go and surrender to the forbidden temptations, and this new release by Swiss minimal house legend DANIEL PORTMAN is meant to be an irresistible one. 

 Continuing with the acclaimed releases on our label, we bring you 4 brand new master pieces, all of them great tools to bring you closer to the dark centuries of the middle ages, combined, of course, with Daniel's signature sounds and dark clubby beats. 

 With having 4 tracks in a row on number 1 on beatport minimal Top100 in the past 12 months, Daniel undoubtedly proofed to be one big rock in that specific genre of music. 

 We're kicking off the EP with the title track CRUSADER that opens up the first chapter of this round table. Crusaders dressed in full armature just came back from a bloody and exhausting battle and are sitting around the table, they eat, drink, laugh and amuse. 








Dimitri Kechagias review: Unreleased Digital is responsible for some of the biggest house tracks of 2013 and the brand new Daniel Portman EP should be considered as one of them. It includes 4 massive peak time club shakers that thrive with uniqueness, originality and that Daniel Portman established tech house meets progressive sound. On Appaloosa he combines his deep techy chunky beats with  aggressive basslines, playful percussion and surprising breakdown with Gregorian chants vocal sample and dark male spoken vocal samples. It will make you dance with hands in the air enjoying the danceable rhythm without doubts and bringing out your Animalistic side. The title track Crusader is a solid and tight composition with many stops and goes and wide variety of vocal samples. The breakdown is really cinematic with epic orchestral music strings, opera vocals and huge distorted synthy lead that works like a treat with the playful hypnotic percussion. Into The Crusaders World starts with magnificent cinematic and ethnic samples that take us back in the Crusades historic period. He will surprise you with the huge sequence of the aggressive dubstep  that pumps hard and punch in your face until to return in his tech house sound with cool minimal percussion. Last but not least Knightess adopt a very different groove and sounds more upfront and ready for use in progressive house sets as well. Stunningly melodic breakdown will uplift your spirit while the spoken vocal sample declares The Past, The Present,The Future. 4 top notch tracks that would be played a lot in the coming weeks. Love IT
