REVIEW: Tristan D & Ideal - Miami out on Vandit records

With Judge Jules' latest VANDIT release out, about, and raising the Fahrenheit on club floors allover, in the space of a single release the label leap from 'Monte Carlo' to 'Miami'. Last year's Tristan D's collaboration with the Judge (so fittingly titled 'The Verdict'!) brought the English ex-pat/now Cali-residing producer to VANDIT's attention. Three months later they'd inked his and Tangle's 'Vertigo' coproduction, which in turn picked up some heavy rotation from many an A-list trance decktition. 

Now, just in time to catch the full heat draft of the Sunshine State's Winter Music Conference, Tristan is back, this time partnering with DJ Ideal, with something that has a fraction more of the house flavor about it. 

This is the so-timely-it-hurts 'Miami'!

Tristan & Ideal's 'Miami' vision starts, tonally, deeper down the scale, through its bass booming, tribally progressive intro. 

It ain't hanging around there very long though! Working in brighter, house-ier percussion loops, strikingly echoed ebony & ivory piano lines and a majorly infectious, high-on-life synth notes, its mercury rises fast. With the quick release filters and spring-loaded FX dropping yet more house flavour into its mix, it rolls down the windows, drops the top and show the bass button some love!



Dimitri Kechagias review: Can you think of a more diverse and forward thinking record label than VANDIT records? Its owner,  the legend Paul van Dyk keeps the quality levels really high with his A&R ears wide open to anything that can stand out from the crowd and can have something unique to say  rather than copying the current beatport top 10 tracks formula in order to become successful too. VANDIT records invests in the future of Electronic Dance Music and offers voice to great artists like Tristan D who collaborates with Ideal for the magnificent production Miami. Tristan D & Ideal manage very successfully to translate with words what Miami means to them. It starts quite lazy with housey grooves and deep basslines and lands nicely on the very strong breakdown that will put a magic spell on you with the beautiful female heavenly voices, relaxing melodies, soothing warm strings that make you dream of a nice sunny walk on the well known Miami beaches. The euphoric synths signals the beginning of your night adventure at the best Miami clubs and the climax comes in full on and very euphoric to blow speakers and raise the tension to the higher level. Just let the inhibitions go cause you are in Miami mate. It closes off as it started with that low profile groovy sequence. Miami is  top production that  has all the needed elements to become part of your dj set and bring to your crowd  a bite of how Miami days and nights sounds. Love iT
