With ‘Deer Friends’ the Czech/Slovak partnership of SHato & Paul Rockseek brought their thematically cooler blend of progressive trance to VANDIT’s doors last year. With the track establishing itself as a firm favourite in many a DJs end of year chart, the pair are now primed, ready and set to do it all again with their follow-up, ‘Whispering’.
Courtesy of Alex M.O.R.P.H., Maarten de Jong, Claudia Cazacu and others, the latter months of 2013 saw VANDIT Records direct a non-stop convoy of peak-time master-blasters at the big rooms. Into the New Year, Berlin’s finest are momentarily changing the gears, bringing some laidback trance refinement to their soundsheet.
With its filtered percussive loops, drop-down tempo and long held strings, ‘Whispering’ cultivates cultured, atmospheric mood-ish, cool at every turn. Developing a mellow, almost filmic drama to its early make up, SHato and Paul introduce forever-panning, echoing and shifting FX and an ethereal, extraordinary once heard, not soon forgotten vocal. Whisper it – SHato & Paul have delivered a ‘Deer Friends’ beater!
Dimitri Kechagias review: The beloved duo SHato & Paul Rockseek return on Vandit records with another sure crowd pleaser called Whispering. Its an emotional progressive house meets trance track that has all the elements to touch your heart deeply with its heartfelt feelgood melodies and of course uplift your senses on the dancefloor with its powerful electro kissed basslines and pumping techy crunchy beats! The strange vocal is definitely one of the elements that stands out and despite of being impossible to understand what it means, the truth is that it works really well and adds light and elevates the track to the next level. The beat is coming back quite early and without delays in order to blow the speakers and attack the dancefloors until there is no tomorrow. Its like the sunshine rays after a rainy dusty day. It can change your mood and uplift your spirit straight away. If you want the epitome of what uplifting progressive is you should check out this very promising and full of potential track! Love IT
