REVIEW: Sander van Doorn, Martin Garrix, DVBBS - Gold Skies ft. Aleesia on Universal Music

How big is this shaping up to be? Well we can tell you this is without a doubt another sure-fire smash for all involved.

Following the release of electric, collaborative club single ‘Tremor’ alongside fellow dance music heavyweights Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike in June, Martin Garrix is back with his latest collaborative UK release, ‘Gold Skies’. Co-produced alongside esteemed contemporaries Sander van Doorn and Canadian duo DVBBS, who recently joined forces with Tinie Tempah to produce the incredible ‘Tsunami (Jump)’, it’s a track that stretches the trio’s combined compositional skills to the fullest.

Centered around a luscious, strung-out vocal from talented up-and-comer Aleesia, ‘Gold Skies’ builds with soft, hazy melodies that lend a mystical, enchanting quality to the track’s opening. As expertly crafted synth lines and club-ready bass begin to make their mark, the manner in which all four producers continue to harmonize ideas throughout is a testament to the sheer depth of talent that each possesses. Certainly not typical of Garrix’s previous works in particular, ‘Gold Skies’ represents a wonderfully innovative, fully absorbing new collaborative record.

Already heavily backed by BBC Radio 1 tastemakers Pete Tong, Zane Lowe and Danny Howard and exclusively premiered online by leading music title ‘Rolling Stone’, ‘Gold Skies’ thus feels all set to deliver as one of the summer’s biggest seasonal anthems.

Now the release includes massive remixes from Tiesto, Redondo & Ferreck Dawn Remix (on a house Tip) and DubVision. 









Dimitri Kechagias review: When 3 mega stars collaborate for a single you can easily guess that the result will be extremely explosive to say the least. Sander van Doorn, Martin Garrix, DVBBS combine their artistic impulses and they serve the world the summer anthem Gold Skies. The real icing in the cake of this very large epic progressive house banger is Aleesia with her distinctive ethereal voice. Energetic peak time progressive house grooves, energetic rough basslines and great breakdown with piano melody that touch your heart and great chorus vocals that remind Empire Of The Sun style support Aleesia voice and make the track the absolute singalong moment. The climax is euphoric, hands in the air and feel good to the maximum with playful euphoric synthy lead that sounds great on festivals. The remix package landed and you can be pretty sure that your choice is widened even more. First of all Tiesto delivers his firestorming kicks, heavy pounding basslines along with massive breakdown that is packed with huge euphoric synthy stabs followed by heavy cranking bass driving drop that will move any dancefloor with chopped vocals and crowd pleasing effects to make the clubbers go crazy instantly. The beloved Redondo & Ferreck Dawn transform the original into the deep tech house gem that will definitely find some space in your deep house dj set. Great chunky groove, old school piano chords and moody garage house bassline combined with distorted vocal parts, acid overtones and balearic organ riffs that recall Ibiza straight away. If you like things deep, underground and dirty you will adore this hypnotic groover that is pure joy for pure house music lovers. The always rocking and shaking DubVision deliver their mainstage make over that adopts more melancholic melodies for the breakdown while the drop is party hard moment with wonky synths and playful stop and goes effects to make the crowd totally lost it somewhere really high in the Gold Skies. Watch this track entering the UK TOP 40 at high positions in the coming weeks! #PureGold Love it
