Fabio Tosti - Talamanca
with remixes by DJ MFR and Devid Morrison
Summer choon alert! Fabio Tosti (Salted Music, Purple Music, Code Red) unveils a brand new single on Transport Recordings and it's a Mediterranean-styled stomper. Named after an Ibizan beach, Tosti's "Talamanca" is an exotic, island-flavored house music jam that will create dance floor pandemonium at any deserving poolside soiree. Five versions are presented here, led by Fabio's collaborative mix with K-Max. This Club Mix features a driving broken beat rhythm, rolling Spanish guitar, and rousing piano and saxophone riffs. This one aims squarely at peak time and surely delivers. Transport's own DJ MFR is up next with his Transporter Mix, presenting a deeper, bass heavy rhythm section accented by fantastic percussion and that gorgeous Spanish guitar. Devid Morrison, who has been making recent waves on Transport, gives a more organic feel with a crisp four-on-the-floor beat, a live sounding bass line, and the guitar brought to the fore. Fabio Tosti rounds out the package with two more versions. His Funkyn Mix is, as the title implies, super-funky with the focus on the saxophone and its energetic melodies. Finally, Tosti's H23 Club Mix revisits elements of the first mix blending it into a breezier, more percussive treatment. It's a winner for the summertime from Transport Recordings.

Asymmetric Soul If I Change (Remixes)
with remixes by D MFR, Yotam Anvi, Devid Morrison, and Mikita & Lonya
Transport Recordings proudly revisits "If I Change" from last year's label debut by Israeli house music combo Asymmetric Soul and vocalist Meital De Razon. Asymmetric Soul first came together in 2001 from opposite parts of the world (Russia, USA, and Haiti) now making Tel Aviv the act's home base. Asymmetric Soul creates motivating, uplifting, and inspiring house music with an emphasis on a soulful, almost ritualistic groove. As a live act their shows blend together electronica with rock, funk, Caribbean grooves, and powerful vocals. The act often collaborate with leading Israeli vocalists and songwriters, such as the contribution on "If I Change" from the fantastic Meital De Razon. These four tracks extend the soul power of the original track to new heights. Lonya, a member of Asymmetric Soul, and London-via-Poland producer Mikita together deliver a rousing piano-led mix that builds nicely and incorporates the vocal in a lovely fashion. Pure summer-time heat. Transport's own DJ MFR is next in line with his own Summer Of Joy mix, adding a dose of latin-flavored percussion along with some affecting deep pads and string swells. When the staccato piano hits it's like the dance floor has been instantly transported to a swanky pool party no matter the time or place. Italian producer Devid Morrison, coming off his well-received "Wonderland" single with DJ MFR, grabs right away with his mix, letting the vocal come to the fore as a nightclub-primed music bed pushes the groove. Lastly, fellow Israeli producer Yotam Anvi delivers a fine deep house interpretation that's craftily sprinkled with dubby and techy elements. This latest package from Transport Recordings definitely brings the sunshine … dive in.
