Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the largest deep house anthems of the year is of course the magnificent Pushing On by Oliver $ & Jimi Jules. Pure Joy for the ears is back 2 basics house as it used to be without influences from other sources. With magnificent bouncy groove, tribal percussion, deep funky sexy basslines, piano melody that sticks in your head for ever and fantastic soulful diva house style vocal that you will sing a long after hearing it once. Hypnotic, relaxing, stylish and underground at the same time is one of those gems that should not be missed by all means. If you search for the ultimate summer hit, you just found it! The package includes the dub mix for those who would like to focus on the great groove and irresistible rhythm and of course apply their own acapella on top and come up with their own cheeky bootlegs. Tchami remix is fantastic and once again the upcoming French talent proves that he definitely one to watch. His version is upfront with darker industrial basslines and techy chunky groove along with UK garage house influences and electronic elements as well. Brand new melodies introduced and the happiness will be on the crowd faces without doubts. Totally different approach with futuristic house tendencies that has its deep roots in the early 90's scene that seems to revive as the new generation of house producers and fans discover maybe with a touch of romanticism that golden age. UK Top 40 number 1! #PureGold Love iT
