Dimitri Kechagias review: It sounds like common sense wisdom but the truth is that when somebody works hard will manage to reach their dreams. Right now Tough Love are just around the corner to reach the chart success in many countries with their bass heavy garage UK house sound anthem So Freakin Tight that samples Jodeci’s Hit Freakin‘ from the year 1995. The original mix is an powerful and very danceable deep garage house tune with heavy speed garage basslines and of course vintage themes, cool melodies and atmospheres along with the well known vocal sample that works like a treat to add to the track its dirty cheeky side. S-Man remix is the dirty headbanging dark house translation that is rocking and shaking packed with techno pounding bass that shakes the buildings so better watch out when you drop this monster version. Its the one you play in your peak time part of your house set and the dancefloor erupts straight away. Hanna Wants & Tough Love co-operate for their excellent deep dark house version with cool synthy lines, airy chords and classic Ibiza style organ riffs. The result is sensual and extremely freaked out. Luvstuff remix moves on the progressive house direction with rolling drums, hypnotic moody dark bass and creative application of the vocals and the original melodies. If you play upfront house this version will do the damage. Last but not least S.P.Y. translate the track into a sci-fi liquid drumnbass version that moves and shakes so common on board and joint the house revival. Love It
