Summary

I have heard so many good comments about it but I never had the chance to listen to it. But on one of the main charts show I manage to catch it and I must confess I'm looking for Trouble and Offaiah has in his hands one of the most clever tracks that sample the perfect vocal hook combined with beautiful piano melody, tribal grooves and very energetic punchy climax of future house style basslines and pumping drums. It's an instant hit with the incredible Ibiza sunkissed atmosphere and the brilliant vocals that you just want to find the lyrics instantly and start singing along. I must confess that never in my life I have met such a pleasant Trouble. The remix package that supports the original will satisfy any house lover. Firstly the house pioneers Chocolate Puma add their bouncy drums, punchy grooves and big uplifting rave style synths in the breakdown along with that infectious vocals. The drop is powerful packed with strong percussion and cool old school influences. Bontan remix goes deeper and moodier in the tech house territory with organic drums, deep basslines, pitched down vocals and underground flavours. APEXAPE remix applies an old school raw and rough metallic bassline while on top piano chords, vocal samples and cool strings turn this version into a pleasant futuristic trip. Latroit remix is an excellent deep melodic techno affair with haunting basslines, electro style melodies and cool breakdown with short snippet of the vocal followed by big drop with that super strong rave style riff on top. Jengi Beats remix moves on that trap house style sound that is relaxing smooth groovy and late night. Lastly 1991 remix is the excellent drum n bass version that transforms all the original elements into a powerful energetic drumnbass ride towards eternity and beyond. #PureGold Love It
