REVIEW: John O'Callaghan & Deirdre McLaughlin - Stay With Me out on Subculture


You won't find a more capable pair of studio hands for the vocals of Irish singers than John O'Callaghan's. With his first single of 2015, that arc extends a step further, as he welcomes another Irish songstress to the Subculture fold. Between Deirdre McLaughlin’s vocal immersion and John’s own (much-celebrated) brand of galvanised production, ‘Stay With Me’s ready to deliver equal measures of emotion and elevation.

No stranger to the vocal world herself, Deirdre McLaughlin’s seraphim vocal injects John’s latest with a whole new level of lyrical & vocal poignancy. Set again his moving chord & pad driven melodies, and latterly the synth-surge of the break, ‘Stay With Me’ achieves peak-time attitude... and altitude!

FSOE / ASOT / PATTERSON / KEARNEY SUPPORT! 



Dimitri Kechagias review: Subculture recordings is considered to be one of the most influential labels in the trance scene. John O'Callaghan serves the trance community with great tracks, discovers new talents and playing unforgettable dj sets. Now the celebrated Irish dj, producer and label owner John is back with his vocal trance smasher Stay With Me featuring the very natural, truly honest and emotional performance by Deirdre McLaughlin. The record has the Ibiza atmosphere written all over it so you can expect emotional sunkissed synthy hooks, fantastic piano chords, cinematic strings and most importantly the main synthy riff is so large and euphoric that will move big crowds in the summer festivals and Ibiza trance events. Straight forward uplifting trance production that doesn't pretend to be nothing more than an inspirational romantic uplifting hands in the air record that you will remember for ever once you hear those classy classic synthy riffs in the breakdown after the deep heartfelt performance by Deirdre. It's vocal trance at its best! #PureGold Love it
