REVIEW: Cold Blue - Redemption out on Cold Blue Records

10.0
Overall Score





01: Cold Blue - Redemption (Original Mix
02: Cold Blue - Redemption (Extended Remix)

The exact relationship between Cold Blue’s name and Tobias Schuh’s affection for chillier titles & imagery (none more evident than on ‘Winter’ - his 2019 debut artist album) is still tbc. This is a time of year however that clearly appeals to both Tobias’s outward-bound sensibilities and creative drive.

In keeping, Cold Blue kicks 2023 off with a new floor-entrancing production, the catalogue number of which (CBR001) may lend a significant clue to the label it’s arriving on. Today, with ‘Redemption’, Tobias opens the doors of Cold Blue Records with a track set to delivers shivers of the singularly uplifting variety!
Of the move, Tobias says, “a record label bearing the Cold Blue name has been a dream of mine for many years. It would allow me to expand artistically and carry not only my own music direct to fans, but also that of other artists, whose studio work speaks to me. Therefore, I’m thrilled to announce that with ‘Redemption,my first single of 2023,’, this has come to fruition. I’m greatly looking forward to all the possibilities that will come along with it, and in bringing Cold Blue Records’ music to your floors and doors!”
Behind ‘Redemption’s sombre winter-scape exterior lies a track with peak time on its mind and the tempo, tone and trajectory to send it there! Superheat the season at hand with ‘Redemption’ on Cold Blue Records - available now through all major streaming and sales platforms here.

Summary

I must confess that I'm huge supporter of Cold Blue from his first releases and always his music was exceptional and his name a big stamp of quality and approval for me. His own label starts with the very strong Redemption. Powerful euphoric uplifting feel good trance as it should be done with pounding basslines, thumping drums and excellent breakdown with cool spoken vocals with certain cinematic feel to them. The big synthy theme is pure perfection to carry you up and away in just seconds when your brain signals receiving its feel good epic themes. The vocal snippets in the background here and there truly add to the mix building that intense sonic experience wondering where we really are at the moment. #PureGold Love IT
