REVIEW: Paul Oakenfold - Shanghai Baby out on Perfecto records

9.6
Overall Score


Paul Oakenfold is back with a great new production on his own Perfecto imprint. As usual he delivers a high quality trance release with Shanghai Baby. His ode to the biggest city of China could very well be the next trance anthem with its uplifting and energizing rhythm, dynamic bass and contagious beats. Joyriders report for remix duty with a fiery electro house take on the original.

Summary

The legend Paul Oakenfold returns on the top beloved label Perfecto records with his own version of mainstage big room progressive house. Pumping thumping grooves, massive pulsating cranking basslines and the best euphoric synths along with exotic orient kind of theme that that appears in the breakdown to give that Shanghai flavour. The Joyriders remix is moving on a more mainstream club direction delivering the perfect Ibiza weapon that boys and girls on the dancefloor will find hard to resist. Packed with spanking beats, electro touch vicious basslines and colourful synths that guarantee to keep big crowds at the edge of their seats asking for more. Love it
