Someone's been putting something in the water down VANDIT way! For their next release they take a temporary departure from planet trance, heading down into the netherworlds of deep, deep vocal house. They've brought together the vocal talents of Tricia McTeague (most recently heard on Protoculture's 'Burning Bridges') with the mysterious, masquerading-under-a-new-name producer Eranga for the astonishing absorption 'Welcome Anymore'.
Cut from classic deep house cloth (think: Kupper, Chandler, Deep Dish, Mood II Swing, etc), Eranga lays down a production platform of low-slung tribal beats, crisp minimal percussion and cool, tightly checked licks & beautifully curved sub-riffs. Having previously collaborated on songwriting with esteemed producers including Narada Michael Walden and Nile Rodgers, and having supported Lionel Ritchie, Elton John, Pink and others, Tricia's vocals are in a class of their own. She lends 'Welcome' an extraordinary lyrical infiltration and vocally emotive pathos that's quite impossible to ignore. Dark, moody and minimal; sometimes less is more.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Vandit records continues to challenge our perception of what we can expect on this legendary record label with another really beautiful production that cross over genre boundaries and open up new possibilities. If you adore progressive vocal trance you are Welcome to check the fantastic production by the new project Eranga featuring on vocals the beloved sweet Tricia McTeague that we hope to see her more often in EDM productions cause she has that travelling inspiring emotional voice that dynamic tracks like Welcome Anymore needs desperately to elevate them to the next higher level. The original mix is a powerful progressive tribal trancer with deep but driving basslines, pumping tribal beats and excellent dynamic rhythm that really energise your mind, body and soul instantly in order to offer musically some kind of resolution to the hard situation that Tricia sings in her exceptional lyrics. Euphoric synths are in place to carry you away to its magical soundscapes. Just say yes and let the music offer you the warmth and tenderness that we all crave to get from fantastic productions like this one. Star track in your set 100%. The package includes the deep house alternative that actually is suitable for the warm up part of trance sets as well. It has that unmistakable groove that hook you straight away and very soon introduce Tricia's wonderful voice. Her performance that sounds fragile, vulnerable and so expressive is the perfect choice to give voice to the very strong and tight foundation of deep haunting basslines, techy beats and some hints of the main original melody in the breakdown and in the more euphoric hopeful climax. If you feel not in the mood to sing a long with Tricia the package includes the instrumental mix as well. #PureGold Love iT
