REVIEW: Matt Darey - Light Of Day out on Somn'thing


House maestro Matt Darey has revealed a brand new track, the peak-time, tech-infused house monster ‘Light of Day’. The fast paced track features an anthemic vocal (provided for the first time ever by Matt himself) and an infectious moog hook, destined to rock the dancefloor.

Matt Darey's electronic music credentials are second to none, having been writing and producing since the mid nineties, with the likes of Armin van Buuren, Tiesto and Above & Beyond citing his music as an influence. He’s been responsible for a plethora of top 40 remixes and productions, including his own top 10 hit. He recently rebooted his much loved ‘Lost Tribe’ project with the kicking release ‘Lubeno’, also through Somn’thing Records.

On the B-Side, house duo and label head honchos Somn3um deliver a remix which takes the track a lot deeper. Capitalising on the all-important hook, David Newsum & Scott Forshaw have uncovered a whole new groove on this monster tune.

Somn’thing Records was launched at the start of 2016 by Somn3um (David Newsum & Scott Forshaw). It is a forward-thinking house music label based in London and Dubai.

 [item value="10"]Matt Darey - Light Of Day(Original & Somn3um remix)[/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The legend Matt Darey is back on the upcoming label Somn'thing with the absolute balearic track Light Of Day. The original mix trespass the dichotomies between music genres and manage to be fresh and retro nostalgic at the same time. With certain balearic house and tripping out trance influences the track is energetic driving exciting and refreshing with beautiful melodic breakdown featuring the distorted vocals by the Matt himself along with sparkling emotional synthy chords. The climax will uplift even the most tired or bored person on earth. Get ready for the surprise track of the month. Somn3um remix takes the proceedings in a deeper level and with nu disco, indie dance and even some future house influences create a very pleasurable track that relaxes you with xylophone melodies and organ riffs while the funky basslines invite you to abandon your old you and embrace the new and see the hope at the light of day. #PureGold Love it[/content]
