+++ Beatports #1 deep / tech house smash is set for major release in May 2014 via FFRR/Bitclap!! Remixes coming soon +++
Esoteric house team Tube & Berger have teamed up with Juliet Sikora for the highly infectious track ‘Come On Now (Set It Off)’ which will be released officially in May. The track was initially released on the trio’s own Kittball Records label and has subsequently received heavy radio support from Pete Tong, Annie Mac and Danny Howard.
Inspired by Strafe’s 1984 electro-funk classic of the same name which was issued on Jus Born Records, Tube & Berger and Juliet Sikora have reinvigorated the style of the original to create a deep production which includes retro-synths, innovative tech elements and an organic sounding guitar which reflects their early roots in punk music.
Tube & Berger - Arndt Roerig and Marko Vidovic – found themselves performing in a punk band when the Nineties house and techno boom hit home. Driven by the challenge of giving electronic music an organic character which reiterates the live energy of the background, they made their breakthrough in 2004 when ‘Straight Ahead’ - featuring the iconic Chrissie Hynde - climbed straight to the top of the US Billboard Dance Radio Charts.
Bookings from all over the world started to roll in, but Tube & Berger wanted to forge their own path. Desiring the freedom to pave their own journey and not have to bow down to a major label dictatorship, or be lured by money-grabbing managers, the two decided to establish their own label Kittball Records with their friend Juliet Sikora. Kittball was an immediate success and soon found itself amongst the ranks of the top tech and deep house labels.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Deep house and tech house is the current craze and it's going to fuel the mainstream with many hits in the coming months. The awesome duo Tube & Berger deliver the next smash that will be played on radio on repeat mode called Come On Now (Set It Off) featuring Juliet Sikora. All the elements you appreciate within the deep house music scene is included in this great anthem. Techy chunky groovy beats, funky basslines and the cool vocal used in the well known pitched down style that seems to be the trademark in the tech house scene at the moment. The rhythm is luring, sexy, erotic and very danceable as well. The little synthy melodies in the breakdown and the cinematic strings create the magical atmosphere that hypnotise your senses and you are ready to let everything go and start dancing along. Relaxing, dreamy with cool guitar licks and the super special vocal that you will memorise very easily ready to perform them in the next karaoke session. Underground to the core is the perfect music to say goodbye winter and welcome spring! Come On Now! #PureGold Love iT
