serious top notch soulful house remixes from the layabouts.... goes deep into your heart

and here it is: the second vinyl ep of niko schwinds album >good morning midnight<. it features some of the unique tracks that niko has created together with some of berlins hottest production talents. on the a side are two tracks that feature the clicky tech-house boys that are channel x, where things kick off with >back from the bar<. it sounds as the title suggests: a little wobbly, a little drunk, a little crazy, but also pretty magic. quite clearly this is an homage to one of berlins not-to-be-forgotten clubs that is unfortunately history now. but things continue on here at least with >dont turn the lights on<, a more straightforward dancefloor track, with a trumpet as the main protagonist. this is one of those tracks that keeps leading up to a real arms-in-the-air-moment if it wasn’t so damn housy at the same time. on the flip the magical connection between niko and label daddy oliver koletzki can be heard on >master of ceremony<, a chopped-up house track with epic dimensions. when things get to the piano breakdown, they get very musical and colossal before dropping back into a great house track. the stark contrast between the piano melody and the groove on this really make it. last but not least then, the original album opener >good morning< that features the singing of fran. it works great as a great album opener, but also perfectly as a slower and more thoughtful addition to a great ep

a fresh new three album track remix ep containing mixes by charles webster, the long term deep house maniac who serves to be an incredibly good choice, will saul, label owner of simple and aus, and a final remix by the man himself phonique. the charles webster remix of worked it out starts off as a nice thudding beat with a crisp minimal click on the offbeat, until an echoing vocal sample swifts in and around starting off the soft but pushing shoulder shifting bass line. smooth piping reverbed blows outline an almost euphoric melody, a very trippy and atmospheric tune with soft cymbals pattering away in the background. soothing sounds and housey chords mix perfectly to make a chilled out dreamy beach tune with a nice progressing beat. a swerling bridge with a 90s casio chord melody steps in and then fades out to the echoes of the vocals drifting silently away into the sun. on b1 its the will saul remix of bang. dun, dun, dun, dun, whoosh! - then a descending high minor melody calling with an electric bass response. squeeky bird sounds and weird reverbed chords makes you feel like you‘re in a crazy dream falling and falling yet the beat keep you stable and composed just about! an out of tune dungeon computer game. strange but true and also very interesting!! and finally, on b2 its the phonique version of space cruise feat. gui borrato. trekking through a spaceship journey tune with mechanical functional sounds releasing here and there. a repetitive two noted melody comes in and fades out, is replaced by an array of spaced out tones, arrivies back again, meets up and resounds into a fanc

with niko schwinds first album for stil vor talent you never loose the feeling that each of the tracks would work harmoniously on the dancefloor, but also within the concept of this album that goes from slow-moving vocal house to pretty nifty tech-house and back. niko schwind is a magician when it comes to producing very fine and mature pieces of house music that are sure to work great on the dancefloor. maybe niko has had the dj in mind that he is himself, as the tracks seem to perfectly provide great productions, but also the ideal ability to mix them in and out, with little samples providing great audible cues. after all, as the title suggests >good morning midnight< is an album with the dancefloor in mind
