REVIEWS:
"CAMPFIRE STORIES"
M8 MAGAZINE: "Johan Ilves has been causing quite a stir in the dance world after his "Disc Legion" on Kinky, which had Hernan Cattaneo’s knickers in a twist. Here though, I think he goes one better with two verions of "Campfire Stories". Someone described this as having a Spaghetti Wastern hook, another a Russian folk song, I would say, however that it has a more Mediterranean vibe, a bit like Matzak’s "Girl in Water" on Boxer. The original mix is on a driving, progressive house vibe, but my favourite is the minimal mix where evryhting is stripped back so you can get the full effect of the stunning melody. 8/8"SLICK DJ: "It’s not often that minimal house really makes me sit up, let alone want to get up and dance. Johan Ilves’s last track "Disc Legion" got alot of high profile support from the likes of Carl Cox, but this one is set for greater heights. Epic to say the least, it steadily builds into a haunting cinematic masterpiece of minimal tech house. Forget the marshmellows, and get on the floor." 4.5/5
INTERNATIONAL DJ MAGAZINE: "It has to be said I wasn’t expecting this from Kinky Vinyl, this release shows they have managed what so many labels don’t, move with the times and move well. This is somewhere in between prog and minimal. The original’s big keys are melodic and the use of click-y percussion are second to none. The minimal mix has to be my fave though with its sweet chilled sound running throughout. Perfect warm up material." 4/5
"WRONG NUMBER"
M8 MAGAZINE: "The original mix is a fusion of tech beats, minimal grooves and 80s influences with a synth line that takes u right back to old computer games soundtracks - Ahh happy days! Further fun comes with Greg Kobe Mix, wich adds a deeper electro vibe similar to the styles of hot remixers Jim Rivers and Micky Slim, which is surely no bad thing. And with the addition of a hooky vocal it all comes together rather nicely. Without lighting the world up this is a solid release sure to gain some broad support from DJs all over the world, with us included." 6/8"DISC LEGION"
MIXMAG Update: "Whilst the original is a deep excursion on a minimal tip, the Greg Kobe remix is heading straight for the jugular. With a jackin Chicago bassline and enough mad synths to make you feel dizzy, this captivating electro chugger goes right off. One tune truly hungry for action 5 Jerry Bouthier five." 5/5INTERNATIONAL DJ MAGAZINE: "Its time get deep, peeps. Very deep in fact. Hell this is having a chat to Francis Bacon at the bottom of the Atlantic ocean deep. Smooth, slightly unevising chords take take the role in this heavywieght musical show that’s highly reminiscent of Trentemöller. For a completly different, techno style version of things check the Greg Kobe remix - what a contrast!" 4/5
DJ MAG: "Johan’s original is a satisfying, but deep and very minimal prog outing, with pin-sharp percussion. It also features what sounds like a church organ set in ‘atmospheric background’ mode! Could be too stripped down for many floors though so bring on Greg Kobe’s mix… He shifts it rapidly up the gears, taking away the minimal feel and bussing in all manner of atmosphere! Most importantly his jacking backing track turns ‘Disc Legion’ into an uncontainable floor-monster!" 4/5
CLUB SUPPORT: Carl Cox, Ferry Corsten, Tiesto, Hernan Cattaneo, Roger Sanchez, John Aquaviva, Paul Thomas, Andi Durrant, Dave Lambrecht, Flashbrothers, Deepgroove, Riley & Durrant, Mason, Sebastian Davidson, Jimpster and more!!
