“Personal Stereo” ft. Flunk, which will be released exclusively on Beatport on September, 23rd, 2011.

The Original is a splendid combination of bouncy drums, rolling basslines, cool synth riffs all blended together with the captivating vocal. Perfect for a number of dancefloors. Remixes come courtesy of Subliminal Records regular Rony Seikaly. Heartik - heavily supported by Richie Hawtin, Steve Lawler, Riva Starr, Deadmau5, D.Ramirez, Chris Lake and Sebastien Leger and Lele Pasini - who has had previous releases on Azuli.

Now with the relaunch, a weekly radio show at Ibiza Global Radio and gigs at the legendary club Amnesia, SWINGS RECORDS is heading in exactly the right direction - aiming high, but also staying one step ahead. One step ahead of the mainstream and one step further than the rest. With the new start, SWINGS RECORDS stands for a new generation of deep-tech-house combined with driving melancholy vocals. All of this under the umbrella of musical freedom.

As Jean Claude Ades puts it: “Music ela

Jean Claude Ades and Vanjee have established reputations as two of the finest international DJs in the world. Whilst Israeli native but NYC resident Vanjee has been hailed as one of New York’s leading DJ’s and Jean Claude has enjoyed epic international success with remixes for the likes of the Deadmau5 and a string of Beatport #1’s. Here on ‘Mend’, both powerhouses join forces on a deep house track that does justice to their skill and reputation.

It is worthy to note that Mend is a remake of Elsiane’s original that first appeared on the Hybrid album (2007). Here in this rework Elsiane’s signature unique vocals once again instantly adds emotion and a beautiful floating tone to the duo’s warm and powerful production.

On the remix front, DJ Kellerkind, aka Marco Biagini, the Swiss DJ (known for his international success with the Backflash EP on Stil vor Talent), provides contrast with a superb rerub of the original. His Slap Bass remix is deep House at is finest. Known most famously for producing powerful emotive club music, his emphasis of bass and the vocals in ‘Mend’ creates a much deeper dreamier sound.

JCA and Vanjee have collaborated before at JCA’s resident ‘Be Crazy’ night hosted every Friday at Ibiza’s newest venue, Lio. The sophistication of the music policy at this residency shows through in the soulful style of ‘Mend’.

Marking the second collaborative project between Jean Claude Ades and Daniel Falkenberg, Swings Records proudly unveil their latest release, Venezia. Following their previous effort, We Are All Dancing (featuring the vocal talents of Yoav), the duo are back again with a beautifully crafted piece of deep house that combines their love of dancefloor-ready productions with their deep-seated love of all things musical.

Label head JCA is well known for his adoration of the sultry end of the house spectrum, having established his passion for sensual, sophisticated dance music through his residency at Ibiza hangout LIO during the summer of 2012. While Daniel's penchant for a sexier groove has become evident through his own solo productions, as the “Two Faces EP” also released on Swings. On this new EP, their creative juices combine to produce a delicious slice of deep house.

Full of zest and energy, the bassline throbs, oozing dancefloor appeal from the very beginning. Punchy beats accentuate the driving track as it captivates the listener, all the while underpinned by strings of an elegant violin, which adds a touch of class to proceedings. Both men have years of exeperience in the studio and it shows on this track, which is emotive yet primed for dancefloor destruction. A unique, and effective combination.

The original mix is accompanied by two stellar remixes from some hugely talented producers. First up is Brazilian Wehbba, who injects his experience into a funk-laden interpretation. He converts the bassline into a more rolling affair, tones down the snares a little and adds in a spine-tingling breakdown to work the track into his own pumped-up rework.

Finally, Linus produces a thicker set, chugging version with hypnotic use of high-pitched chords and the violin chopped up a little, interspersed throughout the track to add to the dramatics when needed.

So there it is, Venezia, a warm, melodic take on deep house which retains that all important dancefloor vibe. A must for your record collection and a further demonstration of the potent force of Jean Claude Ades and Daniel Falkenberg.

JCA's label, Swings, was launched in 2005 with his very first release ('Someday', featuring former Snap singer, Niki Harris) hitting the top spot on the main Beatport charts. It become an outlet for his various forays into the deeper end of house, and allowed him to operate with complete autonomy over his work. A long list of talented artists such as Rony Seikaly, Mason, Ramon Tapia, Coburn, Whirlpool Productions, Jerome Isma-­‐ae, Mason and Les Rythmes Digitales have contributed to the label so far.
Like Jean Claude Ades the label has gone through a recent transformation, and has now been renamed 'Be Crazy' to fit neatly into the overall international brand.
SWINGS RECORDS is now BE CRAZY MUSIC.
