Brand new alt-pop electronic quartet, Heymen debut their single 'If I Play Your Game' via X-Energy/d:vision Records this winter. Consisting of brothers, Jack and Marco Parisi (musicians, multi-instrumentalist, producers), Luca Bertolini (DJ and producer) and Ryan Ellingson (singer, songwriter), their unique sound is characterised by playing acoustic and vintage electronic instruments alongside the latest gadgets and software.
The Parisi brothers began their musical journey at a tender age, having found the knack for playing instruments (piano, drums, bass, guitar) well, they experimented with various obscure and vintage instruments as they got older, writing songs on old synthesizers, Fender Rhodes and Hammond organs. Marco also found time in between to become a worldwide ambassador and demonstrator for Korg, Roli and Studiologic. Childhood friend and established DJ/producer, Luca Bertolini joined the duo, along with web-discovered singer Ryan Ellingson and Heymen was born.
'If I Play Your Game' is a delightful slice of indie dance with a cheeky nod to disco that has found a home on celebrated house label, d:vision also home to revered acts like Dirty Vegas, Bob Sinclar, Francesco Rossi, Eric Morillo et al. Remixes come courtesy of rising German producer Alle Farben (Frans Zimmer), London collective Eat More Cake and EDM Italian star, Cryogenix.
Dimitri Kechagias review: D:Vision is one of the most well known electronic music record labels in Italy with worldwide recognition and respect. The label is homebase for many international hits and certainly the label is must check cause always magnificent tunes are coming to it. The latest project to surface on D:Vision is Heymen. Four talented guys deliver the indie dance sound of now that has retro touches and has that eclectic touch to it. Live instruments and youthful approach makes the original into a radio friendly anthem supported by well directed music video that will be presented on TV channels around the world. Ryan as a singer and songwriter conveys great emotions and sentiments with his very sweet and tender voice. On remix duties is the beloved German mastermind Alle Farben who delivers two stunning versions. Firstly is the Alle Farben remix which is a magical deep house journey with great live drums, tribal percussion, guitar riffs, piano melodies, cinematic strings and lazy chunky groove along with funky bassline that is impossible not to attract your attention and start either just tapping your feet or running in the middle of the dancefloor to dance totally free out of any restrictions without carrying about what will happen tomorrow. Rejoice the now, come closer to your loved ones, feel the blessing to be human on a such friendly planet as earth. The Alle Farben and Younotus remix is an upfront variation of the Alle Farben remix with in tougher basslines, chunky tribal grooves, funky and rock guitar riffs while the piano melody takes the first role and drives the track forward as the absolute protagonist of this remix. Also this remix includes less vocals and is very danceable as it has many intense moments that will go down well in the context of your festival dj set. Heymen with If I Play Your Game deliver one of the biggest eclectic indie dance meets house anthems for 2015. #PureClass #PureGold Love It
