Steel City Dance Discs Volume 24

Body Journey

Bourassa is back and serving us a scorching new summer hit. This time, label boss Smolny doesn't hold back, unleashing a powerful holiday anthem titled "Need Love."

If you're truly in dire need of some love, this track is definitely for you! It starts off slowly and nostalgically, seasoned with a distinct amen break. The growing tension sends shivers down your spine, while a beautiful trance chord intertwines with a long pad in the background. Adding to the flavor is a twisted female vocal that seductively flirts with your senses. It all culminates in a euphoric experience, gradually building up to release the accumulated energy. Finally, everything explodes as a strong and expressive bass line hits you like a ton of bricks.

The following track "Running" takes a more tranquil approach, transporting us to a dreamy realm. Broken drums keep propelling us forward, never allowing us to pause. The melodic chord gracefully emerges, creating a chill atmosphere and setting the mood. After the breakdown, grooving bongos complete the picture.

The B-side features two fantastic remixes of the title track, "Need Love." The first one is a fierce breakbeat roller from Denham Audio. With its powerful bass and mesmerizing droplets cascading in the background, it creates a distinct hypnotic atmosphere. The change in bassline to the typical speed garage sound delivers an even more potent punch at the end.

The second remix is crafted by SLG, who flawlessly captures the sound of the '97s, creating a track in the progressive trance style from that era. A brilliantly composed bass line constantly propels the track forward, building tension alongside the melodic line. A real dance floor killer!

PREMIERE: Smolny - Need Love (SLG’s Like It's 1997 Mix) [BOURASSA]

Clint - Theta Overdrive [COR111]

Yes yes we agree, after releasing @clint-official’s 90’s prog-house inspired ‘Spirit Call’ back in June, stopping there would have been a crime. So here he is, back on Correspondant with two new heaters.

The frenchman is on fire lately and we find him as efficient as ever on ‘Deacon Frost’ & ‘Theta Overdrive’. A highly energetic tribute to some iconic sounds from the late 90s, especially the ‘Sound of Frankfurt’ and the wild, euphoric nights held at Sven Vath’s legendary ‘Omen Club’ from 1988 to 1998. 

A pleasure to welcome once again one of the most talented producers in the game !

Mpeg - Monte Kali (Spray Remix)

After more spending more than ten years producing tracks in the studio, @deanpolman decided it was time to bring his music to the stage. Strongly influenced by the progressive sound of the 90s, he connects nostalgic tones with contemporary sounds in his sets.

B1 Body Clinic - Love Bounce

Dischi Autunno welcomes Supermarc for his first appearance on the label. After multiple releases under the alias Amarcord, Marco Catapano graces the dancefloors with his most recent project Supermarc. Fusing rapid-fire rhythms and Italian trance, the producer, DJ and live artist presents a catchy two-tracker, Body Moving. The eponymous track is a euphoric trance weapon, featuring a bouncy bassline that acts as a backbone to the tune. Along with nostalgia-inducing synths, a magnetic voice sample commands the listener: keep your body moving. And makes it impossible to disobey. On All Systems, the sun has set, and heat is rising on the dancefloor. Supermarc guides us on a darker path, with entrancing layered synths and voices, driven by a solid kick. With Body Moving, it doesn’t matter if you get heads or tails: you still win.
