Moonbeam - Just Try To Remember (Joshua Collins Remixes) [Moonbeam Music]

Moonbeam are two extremely talented guys from Russia. Severly overlooked (for the moment at least). These guys are poised to blow-up at any second. The original track is a beatdown with some spoken-word vocals on it. Honestly, it is one of those tracks where you say to yourself “how could I possibly make this any better!?” Well, I definitely took it down 2 new roads. I did 2 remixes for it, both are solid. My favorite is the Joshua Collins Dark Dub. Has very middle-eastern sounding melodies and I think will create an awesome vibe in any club at peaktime. [digital]

NEW RELEASE: Joshua Collins - LILO [Urbantorque UK]

NEW RELEASE: Joshua Collins - LILO [Urbantorque]

Joshua Collins: ‘LILO’

URTR039
Released: 26th November 2007

Time for a heavy-hitter. With over 140 releases under his belt, Chicago’s Joshua Collins is nothing less than prolific, and those who fear such a high production turn-over may lead to a lack of quality have not heard LILO. The epic emotive opulence of LILO is enough to handle, but remixes from Satoshi Fumi and Chris Fortier on the vinyl together with additional mixes from Chris and from UT fave Harold Heath on the digital format might just send you sprawling.

‘LILO’ (Original Mix) – Electro-tech-epic house hybrid, as unique as it is heavy. Gorgeous trippy melody and tender piano collude with aggressive bass and punchy beat to mesmeric effect.

‘Satoshi Fumi Kaleidoscape Remix’ – Emphasises the tech, as snippets of spacey melody are slid smoothly together by the young man from Japan.

‘Chris Fortier_40oz Remix’ (Vinyl only) – Spliced melody and broken beats suffice on this brilliant deconstruction.

‘Chris Fortier_40oz Remix - Extended Mix’ (Digital only) – The full lowdown on Chris’ genius breakdown. You’ve got to deconstruct to reconstruct.

‘Chris Fortier Classic Mix’ (Digital only) – Intense, melancholic and eerie, but with a bass that purposefully pummels and rolls; you won’t be able to hold this one down.

‘Fortier Ambient Tool’ (Digital only) – Take a deep breath. This is harrowing stuff.

‘Harold Heath Remix’ (Digital only) – Our favourite party man injects a bit of bounce and jack. He knows.

Trained pianist and cellist, Joshua Collins, has been producing house and techno for ten years. Raised on the sounds of Chicago, Josh took his inspiration from Bad Boy Bill and Julian Perez of the famous Hot Mix 5, and since 1997 has had releases on prestigious labels such as Hooj Choons, NRK and Gourmet amongst others. Remixes on this release come from fellow American, Chris Fortier, and Urbantorque artists, Satoshi Fumi and Harold Heath.
