Another year, another version of Silence.
Niels van Gogh and Thomas Gold honour Deleriums now-perennial Silence. By adding minimalist minor keys, an occasional electro-hued flourish and various vocal effects to accent Sarah McLachlans main passages, the duo have brought the song full circle to its deeply meditative but quietly uplifting roots… The track is already a big clubhit and is now also available online

Belgian dance is hot in the states. In its second week, Lasgo have entered the top 10 of the Billboard Hot Dance Airplay charts (from 22nd to 10th position). We are sure they will go higher next week!

The debut track Mars by Fake Blood was chosen Underground Record Of The Year and 3rd best Tune Of The Year in the UK. Way to go guys. The track got high praise from electro house guru Jerry Bouthier:

Around for a good few months, Mars has kept on growing (notably in blog-land) to the point that this summer whatever the dance camp, it became THE tune everyone dropped to rapturous applause. You never know, by Xmas it might end up the underground record of the year… Its secret? Well, starting off with a typical Cleveland City breakbeat and breaking to a very Rollo-esque organ riff (all very nineties, isnt it?), it then kicks back with a sick and twisted flanged b-line (a la Switch, very 2008) that never fails to kill the dancefloor. Thats pretty much it, simple and to the point. As the saying goes, less is more… and in dance music that is more often than not the case.
