[ATTACH=CONFIG]8597[/ATTACH] [B] Hernan Cattaneo & [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1032"]SoundExile[/URL] "Japanese Snowbell"[/B]Forthcoming on [URL="http://www.progressive-sounds.com/Record-Labels/Sudbeat/Sudbeat.asp"]Sudbeat[/URL] | 3/28/2012Since his seminal "Deep Funk" hit released on Perfecto back in 2001, Hernan Cattaneo has become one of the top 3 Progressive House DJ worldwide. He´s one of the rare DJ & Producer who has managed, through the last 10 years, to stay true to the Progressive Sound without being trapped & stalling into producing the same sound over & over.Hernan perfected & developed his sound through the years & each time he releases something new, you can be sure there´s something great to be found.Lately, he´s been putting great tracks after great tracks, through his collaborations with Buenos Aires duo "[URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1032"]SoundExile[/URL]" - aka Oliverio Sofia & Pablo Alejandro "Baunder" Carr. Their lastest offering, on Hernan´Sud Beat label is named "Japanese Snowbell" & let´s say it now: this release won´t disappoint.The Original mix is the trademark Hernan & [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=1032"]SoundExile[/URL] sound: housy, groovy & hypnotic. Perfectly produced & building up toward a short gimmicky japan infused bells melodic line, this is Progressive House as a lot of us like it: using melodies in subtle ways.First remix of the track is delivered by [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=125"]INFUSION[/URL] superstar [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=339"]Jamie Stevens[/URL] & here again, it´s pure quality. [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=339"]Jamie Stevens[/URL] takes the track toward a more progressive tech sound, as he´s known for, with a heavy start made around short & insisting loops. The breakdown uses more of the original melodic parts before the track returns to its stripped out, techy roots & a driving final. An excellent remix for sure, taking the already great original to another level.Second remix comes from another well known Argentinian: [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=669"]Manuel Sofia[/URL]. His remix explores the more deep side of Progressive while still keeping the tempo high. Less of a peak time monster but providing the release with a track variation to use in earlier sets.Another great release for SudBeat - our final pick being the [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=339"]Jamie Stevens[/URL] Remix - proving that Progressive House is still around & kicking!

Japanese Snowbell is a great track and as usual, [url="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=339"]Jamie Stevens[/url] got his hands on it and turned into an absolute monster.

Oh what I would give to hear this track played out in a dark club.

[QUOTE=DIDI;1030747]I did tell you I was going :([/QUOTE]

Yep, you sure did and it sounded like you had fun. :) My comment was an attempt at humour, which would've worked heaps better in person. Will try it again the next time we meet. :p

Will grab the the [URL="http://www.mercuryserver.com/forums/djdb.php?id=339"]Jamie Stevens[/URL] remix for sure, I simply love what he does with it.
