Wankelmut sold 1.5 million singles of his remix for Asaf Avidan 's " Reckoning Song - One Day". His own single, "My Head Is A Jungle" was in Europe a massive hit in 2013. Now the Berlin DJ and producer for the summer of 2014 returns with his new hit single "Wasted so much time".
This time, Wankelmut collaborates with the American singer John LaMonica who among other things he made a splash as a singer and frontman of the duo " Robots do not sleep". Based on a concise disco bassline Wankelmut presents to us in the current Deep House robe a catchy sing-along pop song that gets the typical Wankelmut flavor due to the melancholy and charisma.
Reinforced with a strong remix package of Kölsch, N’to und Kiwi, the track will raded the club charts across Europe ( currently Buzzcharts # 5 in the UK ) , but with the support of impressive video as well will attack the top positions of European singles chart during the year too. Moreover, his summer anthem will be heard in the course of 2014 in his many DJ gigs and festival shows.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The beloved dj & producer Wankelmut from Berlin is back with his brand new anthem Wasted So Much Time. On vocal duties is the fantastic and quickly rising singer John La Monica who has the most appropriate voice for deep house anthems. Sensitive and really low profile voice that works like a treat upon the driving disco bassline, chunky pumping beat, cool funky guitar licks, warm piano chords, cinematic dreamy strings and the stunning atmosphere that is going to mesmerise your senses straight away. Wasted So Much Time has the romanticism of the 70's, the electro pop feel of the 80's with lyrics that remind us groups like New Order or Pet Shop Boys, the nostalgia of the early house of the 90's and the futuristic sounds of 2014 combined in the finest possible direction. Wasted So Much Time will rock the dancefloors and will be played very often in radio stations as well. Quality electronica music invades the pop charts and that is definitely a good development that proves that audiences are more eclectic and sophisticated searching for high quality music rather than the mindless pop songs. Now the package becomes even more extensive with excellent additional remixes to satisfy the difficult appetite of the many sophisticated dancefans worldwide. N'to remix starts with the melancholic piano chords and evolves into a dreamy tribalish tech house version with twisted groove, deep basslines, excellent application of the original melodies along with the hypnotic vocal. The result is a very lovely retro sun kissed fragile version. Jacob's deep remix is another excellent example of emotional deep tech house with great guitar licks, latin rhythm and irresistible groove that manage easily to carry away your mind to exotic places. Just imagine driving you car while you enjoy this fantastic track late at night. Pure magic I can assure you. Kiwi remix moves on the same pathway of the deep moody melancholic house with superb rolling groove, energetic brooding bassline, stretched vocal parts, cinematic atmosphere and hair raising piano chords in the breakdown to give you goosebumps straight away. Kolsch remix is the longer remix that takes your body and soul for a relaxing enjoyable and mysterious ride. Very personal and unique deep grooves, fantastic basslines that need to be played on very loud soundsystems, little synthy riffs here and there, piano chords that indulge you straight away while is decorated on top with mesmerising luscious melodies. It's one of those remixes that will be played on repeat mode and thousand times this summer! Pure High Class remixes that's for sure! #PureGold Love iT
