REVIEW: Michael Mashkov - Elephants out on Colorize

10.0

Overall Score

Welcoming a new name to Colorize, Russian Michael Mashkov has been impressing of late with his unique brand of atmospheric, Progressive - here's his debut with 'Elephants'.

Earning spins from the likes of Above & Beyond recently, Michael Mashkov's debut on Colorize flows between chugging Progressive anthem to blissful atmospheric gem. A truly beautiful opener on the label, 'Elephants' displays Michael's ear for uplifting, chugging Progressive.

Completing Michael's debut, Sergey Shemet delivers a twist on the Original in a rework of 'Elephants' that amps up Michael Mashkov's Original into a grunting, techy affair full of reworked bass tones and rolling bass.

A delectable debut on Colorize for the Russian, this is 'Elephants'.

Colorize is one of the coolest progressive labels and the latest release is one not to be missed. Mr Mashkov delivers Elephants which is an upbeat melodic progressive house banger with funky playful bassline, disco style synths, short vocal samples and great retro elements that turn this record into a very pleasurable sonic experience. Sergey Shemet provides the more energetic progressive trance make over with strong drive, pounding drums,hi-nrg basslines and intensity that keep you interested and focused on the track from start to finish. Perfect warm up material for trance or house sets. You choose and your audience enjoy. #PureGold Love It
