Steve Sai - When the Lights Went Out EP [SMD089]

From fifteen years experience in dance music industry, Greek producer, Steve Sai has been at the forefront of the scene in his home country. Originally from the Athens capital; Sai has stood behind the decks of a swathe of the Greece’s most notable clubs, filling dance floors en route alongside luminaries such as Max Cooper and Dave Seaman.

Now following up the release of “When The Lights Went Out”, originally part of Suffused Music’s “VA Initializing 2014 Vol. III”, Steve Sai sees his “deep tech sound with dirty bass and fat synths” revitalised with remixes from a worldwide cast from Australia, Peru and Russia.

Australian producer, Rion Oidua’s work for Bonzai Progressive and Breaks has been supplemented by additional releases on Eyepatch, Wasabi and Complex Textures as a production career that only began at the end of 2013, now sees a strong tech house remix of “When The Lights Go Out”. A work full of smooth grooves and effervescent dance floor energy pays homage to Steve Sai’s original with careful placement of the original melodic phrasing to intelligent and impressive effect.

From the Western edge of South America, Peruvian artist, Mario M’s five year production career has seen his cross-genre work hit the catalogues of a variety of labels including the Jason Owen owned Evoked, Nick Lewis’ Emotional Content Recordings, as well as a track signed to the “Summer Particles 2014” compilation. Now following up “Attitude”, part of Suffused Music’s “Initializing Vol. IV” in January 2015, Mario M has taken Sai’s work and given it a stripped back, bass grooved makeover that sizzles with percussive intensity as melodic themes from the original weave an intricate path atop to create a richly textured offering.

Yuriy Kolomiytsev is no stranger to the modern underground music scene with his Yuriy From Russia moniker. A regular on the underground dance scene since 2010, almost 400 production credits sit proudly against his name as work for Stripped Digital, Avangardia and Baroque highlight Yuriy’s success in an ever-changing industry. Equally at home with original and remix work, Yuriy has been a regular on Suffused Music since 2013 with a string of impressive remixes. Returning now for a ninth outing, Yuriy From Russia has provided a deep progressive house offering that evolves effortlessly with smooth flowing melodies, shimmering arpeggio and rich bass line. A hypnotic vocal cut and easy percussion section add further to a rework of Steve Sai’s original that adds a strong additional flavour to the remix package.

A trio of remixes from across the globe have ensured that “When The Lights Went Out”, dance floors will be filled.
