Dimitri Kechagias review: What a great start for 2014 with Bastille. Nominated in the Brits categories "British Album", " British Group", "British Single" and "British Breakthrough Artist". The Breakthrough award is a public vote and you can head to www.Brits.co.uk to vote for them (or whoever you think deserves it) - voting will be live soon. Their new single On The Night is definitely one of the most imaginative and unique remakes of two of the most beloved 90's singles. They are responsible of mashing up two tracks that bring shivers all over our body whenever we hear them. The original mix is an awesome electronica trippy remake that actually relax your senses and travel your spirit to unforgettable nights. Perfect for those late night drives with your car under the neon lights. The remix package is the finest that you can ask for. Icarus remix is an awesome deep dreamy house version with haunting basslines, quality percussion, cinematic dreamy strings and bells melodies. In the middle there is an even breaks like section that adds that spacey edge as well. It is such a danceable version with so much freshness and romantic feel at the same time about the early 90's. MNEK remix is deep, sensual and very playful as well. Creative use and experimentation with the vocals and even additional female chorus vocals as well.  Kove remix starts with drum n bass intro and shortly moves to the deep tech house meets UK garage style version with uplifting piano chords and upfront sound that make you wanna dance straight away. It gives us a wide smile in our face and we just want to shake and sing a long. PURE Perfection. Highly recommended. Love IT
