The next installment in our burgeoning catalogue comes from label head Mikas. Known for his big room, no nonsense progressive house belters Mikas returns to the fold with a fresh, signature slice of peaktime material.
Assembling yet another effective and diverse roster of remixers, we've added further depth and bang for the proverbial buck, providing 3 very special and varying interpretations of "Forward". The production partnership of Riktam and Bansi, Martin Roth and Division 7 all add their distinctive touches yet stay true to the labels sensibilities and aesthetic guaranteeing another red hot, powerhouse release!!
The original has enough energy to power the whole block, relentlessly pounding bass and bouncing drums merge with the progressive riff unleashing this monster of a track.
On the remix duty German Super producer Martin Roth delivers an Epic interpretation of Forward. Superbly crafted synths and stabs, add to that a breathtaking breakdown to make this piece an essential summer tune!
The third remix come from the super hot Ibiza duo Riktam & Bansi also known as Growling Mad Scientist (GMS), they have crafted a remix of HUGE proportion, there signature sound already yielded a no2 overall onBeatport and no9 overall sales for 2009. This remix is no exception and it already stormed the floors worldwide in there live performance.
Division Seven mix is a tale of pure progressives sound, slowly building the intensity with perfectly layered synths, shimmering effects and huge Breakdown make this an instant classic.
All of these mixes have been mastered at the legendary Abbey Road studio in London to give you lucky DJs the best sounding progressive anthem.
