Loverush UK! featuring Bryan Adams – Tonight In Babylon
Loverush UK! are Kinky Roland and Mark Schneider.
Their previous productions have included Fountains Of Youth, 5 Reasons, Give Me Your Love and Different World.
They describe their sound as “progressive electronica with a touch of euphoria.”
Tonight In Babylon is their new single due out on 13 February 2012 on Polydor. It features the vocals of rock legend Bryan Adams.
“Bryan’s writing and his voice inspired us to work with him” says Schneider of the collaboration.
“Run To You and the epic Don’t Give Up with Chicane are massive dance classics for us. We reached out to Bryan and he sent a song for us to work around. Within a week we sent back a full instrumental track. Bryan was in Australia at the time and laid down the vocals there. It was such a buzz to hear Bryan’s song and vocal on top of the production.”
The track comes with remixes from the likes of Roger Shah and Ronski Speed with Stoneface & Terminal.
But the outstanding remix is by dj and producer Nate Raubenheimer aka Protoculture which seems to work beautifully with Adam’s husky vocals.
Can I suggest this absolute stunner as the first massive hit of 2012?
Sun Gone Down
This is the stunning new track by South African dj and producer Nate Raubenheimer – who produces under the pseudonym Protoculture.
Raubenheimer started his musical career learning to play jazz and classical piano then worked on film soundtracks before turning to electronic music.
His first artist album received acclaim on the psy-trance scene and led to appearances across the globe.
Since then he has collaborated with Max Graham and had releases on Armada Records.
Sun Gone Down features the vocals of Shannon Hurley and – for me – is an almost perfectly constructed vocal trance track.
It’s due out on Rebrand on 4 July.
Absolutely beautiful.
