Jamie Stevens - Keep Her Space [DA001]
(incl. Original / Onionz Remix / Smith & Selway Mixes)
OUT NOW!!!
Formats: 12"/MP3
The inaugural release on the Dieb Audio imprint comes from none other than label co-owner/founder, mastermind behind one of Australia's best known Electronic acts 'Infusion' and all around top DJ/Producer, Jamie Stevens. Jamie's recent solo work has garnered a huge following, earning him support from DJ's across the board and establishing him as a serious and promising solo artist in his own right.
On his first release for Dieb, "Keep her Space" we find Jamie venturing into exciting, sci-fi techno territory, using hypnotic, intertwining analogue synth sequences and understated shuffling rhythms to create a building, tense monster of a track that has generated early support from DJ's such as Dave Seaman (who has included it on his latest Renaissance Master's CD) and Umek.
Smith and Selway arguably deliver the more "peak time" mixes here, as they strip the track down to its bare essentials, focusing primarily on dynamics and groove. The first “Mayhem Remix” is sure to cause exactly that on dancefloors and at festivals around the world for many months to come. Not since Josh Wink's Higher State Of Conciousness has a breakdown been constructed to such dramatic effect. Already given the double thumbs up from Dubfire, James Zabiela and Carl Cox, this stormer ticks all those “special moment” boxes. The "Control Mix" retains similar elements and sounds, while showing restraint in the drops and is more suitable for a more subtle and smooth set. This mix has already found favor with John Digweed and Anthony Pappa who have included it on their latest, respective CD releases!
Last, but definitely not least, Onionz provides and excellent, jacking house interpretation which adds another dimension to this package. Implementing old-school house stabs, a bouncing, funky bassline and thunderous, cracking tom fills, Onionz re-interprets the track in his own unique style while remaining faithful to Jamie's original vision.
As far as label debut's go, they don't come any bigger than this! Dieb Audio have a host of exciting releases and remixes from some of the most exicting talents in house music.
