TECHNO REVIEW: Lufthaus - Ringo (Miss Monique Remix) out on Armada Music

 


Introducing a magnetic spin to Lufthaus’ 'Ringo’, Miss Monique strikes again with a highly-anticipated set favorite that adds her signature twist to one of the spellbinding singles from the trio’s ‘Visions, Vol. 1’ album, released in October.

 Getting a nod from the likes of Joseph Capriati, Gorgon City, Oscar L and Argy, Miss Monique’s take on ‘Ringo’ combines her unmistakable melodic sound with the deep drums, driving bass and haunting chords of the original record. A set highlight from Tomorrowland Brazil to EDC Orlando to ADE, this remix proves to be another floor-filling heater from the Ukrainian DJ and producer’s ever-growing arsenal.  

“I was immediately drawn to the groove of this record and captivated by the energy it builds,” says Miss Monique. “I’m thrilled to have been asked to remix it and take the track to another dimension and have loved seeing the crowd’s reaction when I’ve played it out this year. One of my biggest tracks of the year.”

[item value="10"]Lufthaus - Ringo (Miss Monique Remix) [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Lufthaus is one of the most surprising groups and definitely their tracks brings some well needed fresh air in the electronic music. Ringo is one of their strongest moments and now Miss Monique comes on board to remix it in her own exceptional direction. The result is a powerful underground gem that pushes all the right buttons with its deep haunting basslines, thumping tribalish grooves and distorted dystopian sharp synths along with great application of the very strong vocals in her own way. It sounds ready to conquer the underground playlists so jump on board before it's too late! #PureGold Love iT[/content]

About Lufthaus 

Lufthaus is the electronic group of long-time friends and musical collaborators Robbie Williams, Tim Metcalfe and Flynn Francis. The group’s sound, fusing the pulse of electronica with the art and structure of classic songwriting, was greatly inspired by the city of Berlin. What the trio have created in response to the atmospheres there feels timeless, impressionistic and yet relentlessly modern — much like Berlin itself. Lufthaus’ merging of music, art, new digital technologies and live performance forges a unique experience that is somehow intangible, classic and yet as much of the future as the pulse driving all great cities — not least the city that still defines creative collaboration and experimentation. Live shows have already captivated audiences that have been showcased all over the UK, Europe, and most recently, Australia as Lufthaus were support for Robbie's XXV 2023 World Tour, boasting state-of-the-art visuals, pulsating light shows and a raw energy that reverberate through every venue.
