The Belgian Stereo Express joins forces with AKA AKA & Thalstroem as well as vocalist Timmy Shimmy to increase the anticipation of the long-player with the first single „When I’m With You“.
Together they create a wonderful house gem that is initially driven by strings and claps, before the crystal clear guitar will be flanked by a grooving bass line. The lyrics are a declaration of love towards our soul mate, to life in general and radiate this positive attitude that defines Burlesque Musique – including a delicate French touch and a chime final. With its dominant kick drum, the club edit starts a bit harder and dispense the hedonistic vocals, even though the warmth and grace of the strings as well as the flattering melody constitutes the attention of „When I’m With You“. The Bremen-based producer Oliver Schories (Stil Vor Talent) equips his remix not only with a lowered bass line, but relies on the trinity of hi-hats, long-drawn chords and dreamy soundscapes. The down-pitched vocals top his purist approach tremendously off. The second remix comes from Sakso. The saxophonist is both the studio mate of Stereo Express as well as his partner in crime during their live gigs. He puts focus on the vocals and impresses with a swarming sax solo that longs for summer and evokes daydreams. A phenomenal appetizer for the upcoming debut album by Stereo Express!
Dimitri Kechagias review: 2014 should be crowned the absolute year of emotional melodic deep electronic house and the brand new release on Burlesque Musique is another must play anthem on that deep sweet sound. Stereo Express and AKA AKA & Thalstroem combine their forces for the exceptional track When I'm With You feat. Shimmy Timmy. The original mix is an exceptional production with techy crunchy drums, deep brooding basslines, excellent live like percussion, rock guitar riffs and simple but very original synthy melodies while on top the absolute star is Shimmy Timmy with his great vocal that has that retro romantic touch on it. If you love the warm and tender analogue like sound this track is right at your door. Oliver Schories Remix is a deeper moodier dark version with slightly pitched down vocal samples and cinematic atmosphere with hypnotic dreamy feel. Very danceable with irresistible rhythm that make you think of late night excursions at the dirtiest sleaziest sides of your city. Sakso remix is an excellent chill out / lounge style version that utilise the vocal along with break beats, superb percussion, the fantastic vocals and the brilliant saxophone loop that will make you turn your head and say "what's that?" Excellent package that deep house / tech house fans will adore. Love IT
