"David Labeij - Grunes Tag" by David Labeij
One of the most promising artists that has come out of Amsterdam over the years, David Labeij, has recently had more time to focus on his solo career now that Polder, his live act with Lauhaus, is an established and high quality techno outfit, with an album on Shinedoe's Intacto imprint and many singles to their and his name. We're very pleased that he has channeled some of his energies our way for his upcoming release on mobilee086 David Labeij feat. Belle 'Crazy Love'. Where the infamous Polder groove is aimed at blowing up dancefloors, Labeij's solo tracks are more on the hypnotic side of techno and house, as each track on this release demonstrates, as well as plenty of bouncing and playful basslines. Labeij's sets - live and dj - are notorious for their mesmerizing qualities, and he is rapidly gaining international grounds with his distinct and captivating take on dance music, so we hope you enjoy this release!
1000SMILEY FACES & ANGEL MORA - BLOODY MARY (DAVID LABEIJ REMIX) [125bpm]
I have to give thanks to this track for providing a beautiful moment in my life. I was driving down Fulton Street in San Francisco at about 11pm on my way to a party and hit a stop light. At that very moment the track came on and the bass started bumping (literally), and I turned to my right to see a cyclist smiling at me. He proceeded to dance alongside me while riding his bike for about 5 blocks until we parted ways. Two humans, one groove. It was beautiful.
So the thanks should really go to three individuals, being the artists involved in producing this song. 1000Smiley Faces and Angel Mora's work on the original "Bloody Mary" showcases an uplifting, piano-drenched solo-banger. By "solo" I mean I'd be more likely to two-step half-naked and alone in my room while listening to it than on a dancefloor. David Labeij comes in for the kill on the remix, starting things off with extreme bass (the kind that gets people outside of your car dancing). The vocal repetition and drawn-out string arrangements bring intensity and a rush that has to be felt rather than explained.
This is being released as the very first in Novotek's Raw Series, a perfect way to set things in motion. You can stream the rest of the EP here, and the 12" vinyl release is now available for pre-order on Decks, so you should probably get at that if you want the true (raw) experience. Be on the lookout for more from these artists and their newly imprinted label, and as always:
