REBEAT are Danish born Kevin Romerdal and Swedish born Rasmus Bergdahl. They started making music together at the tender age of 15, having both played drums from a young age and stemming from musical families. In 2012 they decided to work on electronic music that could represent the ‘true face’ of their rich musical culture and REBEAT was born.
The duo have formulated their sound and found acclaimed success. Their sound enriches oriental accents, combined with modern electronic influences from the Netherlands and Germany to create a heavy hitting sound reminiscent of The Prodigy or Pendulum. The use of subtle yet gripping vocals over sparse melodic accompaniments have the ability to lift the listener, giving their sound an appeal outside of the traditional EDM realm before the bass crashes back down.
REBEAT’s recent offering, ‘Walking Dead’ has the stirring vocals of Matt Wong that brings an affirmed aspect of soul to the record. Swedish producer Steerner brings a soothing melodic rocky edge to the radio edit. This compliments the vocal incredibly and encompasses a well-defined level of prestige, flinging the listener into a wild ride. This track is seriously original and seriously hard hitting.
The Future Funk Squad, who have recently remixed for the likes of Coldplay and Moby have put their stamp on the track. Their remix oozes with cool, reminiscent of early naughties breakbeat/garage. Their unique production brings a more chilled aspect in comparison to the original. This doesn’t take away from the low end sub that rolls and rumbles with the kick, appealing to the older crowd with integrity this pushes the record towards a new category altogether.
The bass heavy Calvertron mix is gripping! Utilizing the energy that Drum and Bass gives he launches waves of bass that stretch, grow and shrink. Guaranteed to rattle and vibrate any set of speakers, it’s a pleasure to have this talent reunited with the label. Welcome back sir.
Tannergaard’s remix packs a mighty punch. It opens utilising a cinematic landscape underneath the vocals that builds into an epic assault of synth stabs before it breaks down and repeats the process all over again. Guaranteed to lift the listener up and crash them back down in equal measure.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The legendary record label Champion Records from UK with releases from great artists like Robin S, Sandy B, Kristine W, Raze , Mike Delinquent Project and many more. In 2013 Champion moves towards a new direction and with brand new vision. The result of this new vision is the growth of the label day by day with top releases that can equally satisfy clubbers and will enter easily the official UK Top 40. The latest release is the awesome REBEAT with the banger Walking Dead. The original mix is an energetic prime time progressive house stormer with fantastic rock guitar riffs and exceptional vocal with great lyrics that every listener can identify with them. The drop is rougher, harder with sharp aggressive basslines and tough bouncy groove that push the energy of the track forward. If you search for that vocal house track that will make many heads turn towards the dj booth wondering what is playing don't miss this stormer. Very hard and banging but with musicality and emotional elements as well Walking Dead will become an instant favourite. Calvetron remix is the magnificent liquid tripping out drum n bass version that will be played a lot in the summer. Energetic and dynamic with the superb vocals, guitar riffs, heavy drums and pulsating basslines that will easily carry your heart away. Future Funk Squad remix is pure class without doubts. It is very energetic, rough and edgy bouncy pumping version that shakes and rolls with its stomping beat and heavy bass. If you like bass heavy action you will like this for sure. Steemer remix is the full on Swedish progressive house style that is much more melodic with emotional piano in the breakdown without the rock guitars enhancing the track with extra fragility and with full on melodic euphoric drops. Last but not least Tannergaard’s remix targets the big mainstage sets at the summer festivals with fantastic breakdown that is quite melodramatic and moody but very soon the pizzicato synths come to build the track towards its hard and extra cracking drop that is packed with synthy stabs, swirling synths and thunderous basslines that will move even mountains and the highest skyscapers. #PureGold Love IT
