Ante Perry & Kolombo - Completely Positive (Walker & Royce Remix) [PREVIEW]

THIS IS Retro - Volume 1 
THISISR01 

Release: May 7 (Beatport) / May 21 (iTunes & all other digital platforms) 

Keeping true to the label's decision to go for sophisticated, retro disco / funk flavour, This Is Recordings presents an album with a twist - This Is Retro. The LP is choc full of deeper sounds, but ones which will still work on the dancefloor as well as being perfect for home listening. 
The album is an introspective, thoughtful and predominantly heartfelt collection of hand-picked cuts.   

THIS IS RETRO 

The music on This Is Retro has been compiled with dedication and genuine consideration. It has an unquestionably retrospective sounding streak running through the selection, but also a fresh approach to today’s music – it’s retro, but it’s firmly relevant in today’s market. 
Tracks feature from the likes of THIS IS label owner Sander Kleinenberg and many others. Sander contributes to the album with tracks such as Chemically, Remember When, Follow Me and The Healer.  
Quality contributions have been hand-picked by the label, artists such as Kraak & Smaak, diskJokke, Djuma Soundsystem,NSFW, Ante Perry, Kolombo and Downtown Party Network. This really is a retrospective voyage into the old to come up with something new, combining some tracks incorporating that 'classic sounding' vibe with a fresh 2012 flavour. 
The LP is truly essential listening, compiled with love and care by Sander as we approach summer 2012.

THE ALBUM: 

This Is Retro comes to us as a strong package of dancefloor as well as easy listening gems. This Is Retro genuinely covers the whole spectrum. 
The album kicks off with Sander Kleinenberg vs Kraak & Smaak´s 'The Journey' feat Ursula Rucker. This version is the Kolombo remix, dropping the BPMs and taking us back to the 80s with a series of stabbed synth sounds and probably the funkiest bassline this side of James Brown. Young and upcoming Dutch talent NSFW furthers his growing reputation with a track entitled 'Coconut’. Unbelievably simple, but impressingly infectious, this is a track which is full, round, warm and uplifting. When the female vocal slides in, as well as the piano line, you know this track is where it’s at. Kolombo offer their second offering on the track with 'Passin’ Me By'. The track also makes use of subtle vocal snippets, up and down key changes, complemented with those crisp 80s drum pads. 
Sander takes up the reigns with the impressive The Healer track, offering a more mellow, dreamy experience, with NSFW storming back with his remix of Kolombo & Oliver Klein’s 'Espionnage'. 
Djuma Soundsystem & diskJokke’s 'Maneter' slows the BPMs even more before Ante Perry & Kolombo’s 'Completely Positive' also does the business in a laid-back vibe. 
Main man Sander rounds off the album with his sublime vocal workout with UK singer/songwriter Jamie Cullum. The track is the seminal 'Remember When', featuring Jamie’s heartfelt vocals, with Downtown Party Network on the remix.

Kraak & Smaak ft. MC Sebastian
Hit The Club

01. Original Mix
02. Sander Kleinenberg Remix

Where three is the magic number by Hip Hop standards, Kraak & Smaak have proven no exception. Hot off the heels of one of their most prolific years to date, the Leiden trio return to THIS IS Recordings to follow-up 2012’s remix duties for Sander Kleinenberg’s ‘Chemically’ with their latest aptly titled original ‘Hit The Club’.

Having led their inauguration to the label with high quality over mindless quantity, their ability to build strong moments in sound without bowing to popular convention is further apparent in their first release of the new year. Led by scattered melodic developments and slow grooving beats throughout, ‘Hit The Club’ employs hypnotic vocal builds to forge a landmark installment for the fast rising retro advocates.

Last found alongside the funk-savvy threesome for ‘The Journey’ with Ursula Rucker for 2012, there were few more suited to take on remix duties for the duos debut mark for 2013 than label head and world renowned DVJ Sander Kleinenberg. Returning the favour for the trios powerful remix of ‘Chemically’, his own take on ‘Hit The Club’ proves a suitably high-octane remodel from Sander, employing strong low-end undertones and stubborn beats for a strong differentiator from the down-tempo A-side.

Off the back of the year that saw them drop a full-length album, remix Moby and collaborative duties alongside Sander Kleinenberg and Romanthony alike, ‘Hit The Club’ looks to set in motion an essential year for the eclectic Dutch trio. With firm allegiances with THIS IS and Jalapeno Records already established, their funk-fuelled Electronic stylings have already scaled the globe courtesy of significant tour duties across Europe, North America and Australia – with 2013 promising yet further landmarks such a brand new studio album and global extensions of a sound placed perfectly to escape mediocrity in the name of integral Electronic music.
