Dimitri Kechagias review: David Guetta is considered to be one of the biggest powerforces in the electronic dance music culture. His ability to spot new talents and support them by including them in his productions is noteworthy and should be credited to him. David Guetta latest single Lovers On The Sun is going to become one of his biggest anthems and there is big possibility to reach the top position on the mainstream charts as well. Lovers On The Sun is more melodic and colourful than his previous party hard tracks. The vocal by Sam Martin is absolutely fabulous with whistle on the background, fantastic Italian Western films guitar melody and the whole atmosphere that continue on that Western films inspired tracks. It sounds very cinematic and Sam Martin performance highlights even more that angle as he has many melodramatic moments that can give you shivers straight away. The climax is uplifting with big euphoric synths to blow your mind and bring happiness in our faces. The remix package is the finest that you can think off and are played on the summer festivals worldwide. Showtek deliver an exception dirty dutch make over that allow the nice vocal to shine in the breakdown followed by huge euphoric uplifting synths and then the manic drop comes in. Aggressive pumping super bouncy basslines, meaty fat and thunderous kicks will keep the crowd dancing and demanding for more. Blasterjaxx are on board as well and they do once again their best to drive the clubbers mad with superb melodic breakdown with the full vocal and uplifting euphoric synthy hooks. The drop is wild and monstrous with playful electro inspired basslines, pumping groove, cool percussive melody on top merged with euphoric synthy stabs. Last but not least Stadium X remix moves on the same big room house direction with pulsating pounding basslines, cranking kicks and meaty groove. The breakdown takes full advantage of the vocal combined with brand new electronic melodies while the drop is truly euphoric with uplifting hands in the air synths to blow your soundsystem in that Swedish epic prog house style. #PureGold Love IT
