Label: Songbird Format: CD Genre: Progressive House
Midlands based Russell G recently debuted on Whoop! Records with “Led Astray” and “Lose It” which received rave reviews and support from Tall Paul, Redanka, Tom Stephan & Sonny Wharton. Russell first started djing in 1998 after attending clubs such as Godskitchen & Gatecrasher and was by inspired by the Dj’s he was hearing then such as Paul Oakenfold, Tall Paul & Sasha.
Songbird is proud to present the follow up with “Darkroom” which continues in Russell’s own style of house which has a distinctive modern chunky progressive house edge. His Original mix has a cool deep bass driving feeling with strong chunky drums and a really clear drive with tripped out delayed vocal that suitably all fits well together and a flows into a deep haunting breakdown with a tingling fresh feeling. Broadly speaking its progressive house, but the bass and sounds used are far more current and up to date and develop it further.
Andy Duguid provides the remix treatment, and opts for a real progressive orientated remix, picking up on Russell’s original vibe and furthermore bringing out the best elements and turning up the heat with some speaker freaking sounds and effects that add with a constant drive and utilizes a nice bass again to bring out the best for the dance floor. Even though his mix starts off feeling slower and more subtle, it builds the momentum to a slightly more frenzy when it kicks back in, then the vibes complete.
