Chris MiMo : Pick Me Up

(1 votes, average: 4 out of 5)

 Loading ...

Chris MiMo is firmly establishing himself as an international DJ, Producer and Promoter with style, charisma and talent to test the very best, packing out almost every one of Europe’s favourite spots and best parties.

Headlining & spinning at… The Cross, Pacha, Ministry of Sound, The Egg, Turnmills, The Lightbox, White House, Bar54, The Island, Sankeys - Tribal Sessions, Back 2 Basics, Bloom Festival, Privilege Ibiza, Es Paradis Ibiza, and more. Playing alongside international stars such as Carl Cox, Eric Morrillo, David Guetta, Kissy Sell Out, Luke Dzierzek, James Talk, Jonathan Ulysses, Luke Solomon, Tim Sheridan, Shane Watcha, Joey Negro & MYNC Project.

Starting his production career as one half of Dirty Funk Munkees Chris immediately made an impact with his first tune, a one-off test pressing that to this day hasn’t had a title or even a release getting listed in Pete Tong’s top 10 tunes of the summer! Now following his 2 singles MiMo and Parachute and 2 remixes (Picotto vs Papini Gonna Get Ya & Fonzerelli Losing U) from last year Chris intends to show what he’s really made of crafting his debut artist album, numerous singles as well as collaboration projects and remixes.

Having already had support from big guns like Sander Kleinenberg, David Guetta, Damian Wilson, John Jones, Sharp Boys, Stimpy, Simon Dale, DJ Paulette and more Chris is aiming higher with his new release Pick Me Up.

With its deep, dark, booming, acid bassline and hypnotising melodies Pick Me Up hooks you instantly into its jacking driving grooves before dropping to a piano break filled with tension like the calm before a storm. Stirring and building to a huge crescendo dancefloors will be set alight when the bassline drops back in alongside the gorgeous pianos. Chris MiMo starts as he means to go on with this phat chunky tech monster.

On the flip Tim Andresen, considered the most influential man in Danish house music as well as a leading international DJ takes on remix duties. Also part of Professional Losers, Tim has had releases signed to Norman Cook’s mighty Southern Fried label, Mark Knight’s Toolroom as well Azuli, Fragile, Distinctive and Suesse to name a few gaining support from the likes of Pete Tong, Erick Morillo, Deep Dish, Hernan Cattaneo, Nic Fanciulli and Fatboy Slim. For this remix Tim Andresen brings the sound of his What Happens label and event to Big In Ibiza and twists the track subtly to his own design. Check out Tim Andresen Do Your Thang forthcoming on Big In Ibiza featuring Chris MiMo on remix duties in April.

DAN MCKIE & PHIL ENGLAND - ‘WHAT GOES AROUND’

(4 votes, average: 4.5 out of 5)

 Loading ...

Featured on Jonathan Ulysses latest mix album, Ibiza Opening Party 2008, this collaboration from Dan McKie, studio buddy Phil England, and Big In Ibiza favourite, Max’C (The vocalist behind Axwell’s smash ‘I Found U’ and Big In Ibiza’s summer Anthem, Connected ‘A Feeling’) is one of those big room, catchy sing along anthems. Combining soulful vocals, smooth, rolling beats and filthy synth and FX with old skool vocal stabs to create an ever evolving sound that brings that electro rave vibe right back to the future.

Neatly building up to introduce those luscious vocals from Max’C, which then continue to tease the ears all the way through the build up, the track peaks with a drop that leads into a pumping old skool rave anthem with that same ‘Party’ vocal stab that’s been a part of Dance tracks for so long it’s almost become bed rocked into the genres history!

Newcastle born Dan McKie has been knocking about for a while now and having spent the first 3 or so years in a DJ/Production duo, where he produced originals and remixes for labels such as MOS, Skint, AATW, Sony/BMG, Effin/USA, and DJ’d in places as far off as Kazakhstan with residencies in the US and running his own events in the UK Dan has always been a busy body!

Since going solo though, Dan has been building up a reputation as one of the hottest young house producers on the circuit and now with a few great tunes under his belt and collaborations with the likes of Jonathan Ulysses, Andy Morris (Narcotic Thrust) and Licious K already under his belt and support from big players all over the world including Pete Tong, Tall Paul, Andi Durrant, Judge Jules, Steve Lawler, John Digweed and more. Here he teams up with another rising star, with just as much of a history of support, Phil England to create, ‘What Goes Around’.

Max’C is a man of many talents and having even opened for P’Diddy and Snoop Dogg, the Professional Break dancer, actor and vocalist is a name recognised by many in the know. Following on from his input into Big In Ibiza’s earlier summer anthem, ‘A Feeling’, Max is set to collaborate with the likes of David Guetta, Soul Avengers, Todd Terry, StoneBridge and many more top acts over forthcoming months and now brings his soulful vocals to the table for this release.

CONNECTED FT MAX’C - “A FEELING”

(3 votes, average: 4.67 out of 5)

 Loading ...

Big In Ibiza the new label from the people behind the resurgent UMM UK drop their biggest tune of the year Connected ft Max’C ‘A Feeling’. This song has had a long development from underground club anthem to worldwide club smash.

After more revocals than a classic Mowtown hit eventually the perfect performance came from Max’C (of Axwell ‘I Found U’ fame) who is set to collaborate with David Guetta, Soul Avengers, Todd Terry, StoneBridge and many more top acts this summer (Max’C has also opened for P Diddy and Snoop Dogg, acted in TV mini series & films and is an accomplished dancer, moving to Finland from the US to teach Hip Hop and Break Dancing at the Helsinki Dance Academy).

We believe in the vocals, this song moves people, it’s in the melody and the words and the Fonzerelli mix brings that interesting fusion of the electronic backing track crossing with a soulful vocal, which is exactly what made the classic ‘Sweet Dreams’ work so well. “A Feeling” has in fact had many mix treatments through bootlegs and remixes over the past 3 years that has made it an anthem in many different arenas.

So now, with the perfect rendition, killer new mixes, and huge new support meaning the track has reached over 2,500,000 listeners in it’s first three weeks of radio play and who knows how many more clubbers it’s reached up and down the country, even gaining the No.1 spot in both the Music Week Club chart, and the DMC Club chart. The summer of 2008 will most definitely be all about “A Feeling”!

Connected

CONNECTED is a lose group of producers, remixers, singers, musicians songwriters who communicate create and produce via the web, with Big In Ibiza as their hub. They have never met, and may never meet but relate to each others creativity and offer in each case a part of the jigsaw that makes the whole picture.

In the case of a Feeling, the song was conceived and composed by Stu Allan (Manchester), communicating with Phil Allen (engineer, musician and singer) who was based in the record companies London studios. Their communication was email, web messenger and phone.

Fonzerelli (Northern Ireland) has supplied key remixes as have Wideboys (Portsmouth) and Melodia (Namibia) but none have ever met and received and supplied their contributions via ftp sites. After several singers were used on the track eventually Max’C (USA resident in Finland) recorded his vocals in Finland and supplied them all via the web. For some people this may seem unremarkable for more many it would be a revelation.

The role of Big In Ibiza is to help the various creative people to link and contribute and ultimately for The A&R and production staff at Big In Ibiza to finalise the song and offer, again via the web, to the DJs and fans. This would have been inconceivable 10 years ago but is now very much a natural consequence of creativity and technology.

Including Mixes from…

Fonzerelli
Wideboys
Pedro De La Fiesta
Love Assassins
Melodia
7th Heaven
Pete Pritchard
Darwin
Outsource DJs
Acapella

Aaron ‘Fonzerelli’ McClelland has established himself as the man to turn to when dancefloors need rocking and has proven his point with # 1 Download & # 1 Label of the year on DJ Download, # 1 Beatport charts and being requested personally to play alongside Tiesto in Ibiza this year!

Platinum selling producers The Wideboys add to the package dropping massive pumping house and garage mixes cementing themselves as some of the hottest producers around with their new single Snowflake getting 1xtra & Kiss FM playlisted following their chart hit Daddy O ft Shaznay Lewis.

Additional remixes courtesy of Pedro De La Fiesta who made a huge name for himself on Tito Puente Jnr’s ‘Oye Como Va’ and Love Assassins who are establishing themselves as a premier remix team following the hype on their debut ‘Teardrops’ release. New Head of Nukleuz Green Pierre Pienaar (aka P.H.A.T.T.) toughens things up under his Melodia guise and CD Pool’s very own 7th Heaven add their own unique party vibe.
