Iridescent 80-Reminisent, a colorful mix of synth and electro pop - then Price, Adam and Johnny Blake are also present 2014 A gorgeous melody paired with the unmistakable vocals of Johnny Blake, is "Do not Tear Yourself Apart". A Zoot Woman classics of the future, a hymn of hope, the light in the darkness, in which states "When it all Seems to bring you down do not tear yourself apart, I can promise you better ways, we'll be living in better days.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Stuart Price is a legend and true genius of electronic dance music culture. He manage to inject advanced electronic sounds on many pop stars and help them to discover the beauty of electronic beats. His project Zoot Woman is back and the first single is very promising. The album mix of Don't Tear Yourself Apart is a magnificent piece of very danceable electro pop with raw analogue feel, great melodies and positive lyrics to bring light and hope at the end of the day. The remix package will be welcomed by many deep house djs because all the remixes are high class and truly eclectic. First of all is Michael Mayer who delivers his deep progressive house version with throbbing dark deep bassline, dark pounding kick and stunning sounddesign with electronic synths, orchestral music strings and superb floating feel that make you wanna swim within the gigantic sound waves that Michael produced around the mesmerising haunting and totally spacey vocal. Chopstick & Johnjon present two outstanding versions. The vocal version is straight forward deep tech house anthem with chunky grooves, deep moody basslines, echoing vocals and electronic synthy melodies. Just imagine that you dance along this magical version in a hot night club in Ibiza. Groovy, mesmeric, hypnotic and absolutely gorgeous version offered as instrumental mix as well. Lastly Fischer & Kleber deliver the even deeper, the even more minimal, the even more retro vintage sounding version with fantastic guitar in the breakdown and minimal application of the fantastic vocals. #PureGold Love iT
