[item value="10"] Gabriel & Dresden - Kinetic Cinema[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Gabriel & Dresden return on Anjunabeats with the incredible big room floor filler Kinetic Cinema. For this track they adopt the deep pounding basslines along with punchy metallic kick and thumping drums. On top they add some cool euphoric synthy riffs that creates beautifully this sense of constant movement and invite to discover our place in their Kinetic Cinema. The breakdown is truly cinematic with melodramatic opera voices and cinematic strings followed by superb build up towards their ferocious climax. It has incredible melodic strength and the energy to keep dancefloors moving. With simple and effective elements the track follows the dogma less is more with great effect. We hope for more of the same with some singing vocals maybe. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
