Gotta Keep Faith is proud to introduce Duoswing, aka Stephan Hoellermann, who brings the heat in the shape of “Metro Tendencies” and “Stiletto”. Although a resident of Linz in Austria, Stephan's influences are widespread: he points to the likes of Larry Levan and Patrick Adams from yester-year along with Blaze, Gene Farris and Stacy Kidd from more recent times.
The package gets under way with Stephan's “Original Mix” of “MetroTendencies” creatively blending bass, brass and organs augmented by compelling rhythms. The result is a rather funky number that's high on originality and contagious on the dance-floor. NYC's DJ Romain provides three interpretations in the shape of “Ro's Metro Slam Mix”, “Romain's Dub” and “Ro's Bonus Beats” in which the percussion is beefed up but the essence of the track is firmly respected. “Spiritual Blessings Deepa Funka Remix” takes a deeper and slightly more eclectic path but is no less infectious. ”QuestionmarQ's Pinch of Salt Mix” drops the tempo to deliver a more soothing interpretation which takes us to “Stiletto” which completes the release in deep moody fashion.

-Dj Pelau (Swaggerliestyle.com – Los Angeles)- “I've heard this groove, where I can't remember now? Wondering if i have it as well, sometimes getting so much music baffles my memory. I definitely have or heard this before. Probably through you guys, but I doubt I got these remixes. RO's Metro Slam Mix - this sampled loop is like a battery full of energy for power to dancing feet on a dancefloor, it sneaks up and induces the 'life of the party' and this remix drives the point in! Romain's Dub - OK, probably will skip downloading this since the previous Ro's Metro Slam Mix is much juicier
Ro's Bonus Beats mix - same thing...ok Spiritual Blessings Deepa Funka - A smoother and yes, funkier kick and groove into it, seems worth a dive into for style. Kinda monotonous after a while, but as it breaks down and floats across waiting for the beat to come back in, it reinvents a life of its own again... QuestionmarkQ's Pinch Of Salt Mix - that bassline is aready making me think this is gonna be spicy and enjoyable, so I'm waiting and as the graceful keys drop in I want more love in my life, 'cause feeling this gentle vibe makes me miss softness, depth and memories to create around this beat Stiletto Original - taking me back to a time of rich house music, the feel of this seems to be swept from the early 1990's and it feels oh so good...lovin' it!”-Michael Fossati (Spirit Of House)- “Truly funky and contaminous...”
-Dj Sebastian ‘Soulmates” (Stockholm)- “A bit too pumpy, funky house for me. Diggin Ro's Bonus Beats though. Kool funky beats that will come in use as a dj-tool.”
-Greg Fenton (UK)- “Funky stuff!!!”
-Dj Floy- “Original & Ro's Metro Slam Mix. Excellent tracks for clubs and my radio show. Good Work.”
-Ray Fenwick (Converge UK)- “Really like the (Original mix) & (Romain's Dub) they will go down very well in my warm up sets. These tracks have a very nice deep/soulful vibe and will be getting my support.”
-Niall Redmond (UK)- “Another high quality release from GKF….enjoyed all the mixes and it was very hard to choose but my favourite one is Romains Dub of Metrotendencies closely followed by the Spiritual Blessings mix…..god job again guys….big support from me on radio and club play”
