1. Original
2. Lutzenkirchen Remix
3. Sidewalker Remix

Tomcraft presents his latest release 'Follow Me Home' which features South London wordsmith Eddie Styles. Having taken inspiration from the epic movie soundtracks of the ‘70s, a full live-recorded brass section collides with Tomcraft’s trademark beats and bass and the vocoded vocal hooks of Eddie Styles.

Studio-heavyweight Lutzenkirchen kicked off proceedings last week with his choice techno rework. We now present part 2 which includes Tomcraft's original alongside a remix from Sidewalker.

 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The exceptional German legend Tomcraft is absolutely on fire with his releases on DBStereo. His track Follow Me Home brings bang the Kosmo Records flavour with wonky groove, electronic synths, vocodered vocals, dark synths and amazingly melodramatic touches while the rhythm is absolutely mindboggling. You just want to dance like there is no tomorrow with this preferably while you drive your fast car. Lutzenkirchen Remix is tougher darker harder with pounding drums, dark haunting industrial bassline and acid lines for that hypnotic effect. Sidewalker is slower melodic techno meets trance type of version with great synthy work and great application of the cool vocals while the drop has plenty of acid to blow speakers. #PureGold  Love IT[/content]

Continuing his run of releases and a serious return to form, DB Stereo co-owner, Tomcraft serves up a double A-side for his latest project: Nordheim & Tomcraft, with Munich-based producer​ ​and​ ​modular​ ​synth​ ​wizard​ ​Dominic​ ​von​ ​Nordheim.

‘Heat’ is a pressure-cooker of a club cut that homes in on those peak time sessions. Paradise Lost dips into a more self-reflective palate of sounds: the driving kick and bass remain but a Zero-7 style electric piano provides the melodic build, before a very tasty drop.

 [item value="10"]Nordheim & Tomcraft - Paradise Lost / Heat [/item]
 [content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Nordheim and Tomcraft combine their forces to service two very strong and different tracks. Heat is the more upfront tech house banger with dark moody edges, great haunting synthy layers and rolling beats to attract your attention and grab you from start to finish. It oozes classy treatment. Paradise Lost is my favourite of the two because has more esoteric easy lonely rider side to it. The rock guitar riff along with the piano chords and melancholic strings upon the driving pulsating basslines makes this track really special and attention grabber for sure. Better not miss them as both will be ADE Weapons. #PureGold Love IT [/content]
