DJ Vitamin D – So Good

DJ Vitamin D – So Good (Mochico remix)

Having been in the game fifteen years, the Denver-based imprint Terraform Records has amassed a large catalog of recordings, released and otherwise, and has seen and heard the stylistic changes in dance music first hand. After a bit of a break from releasing tunes, Terraform are back with a vengeance, dusting off the door to their tune vault, and seeing what audio surprises can be found. One such discovery is “So Good,” a seriously banging big room track from renowned club DJ Vitamin D. Vitamin D had been DJ’ing on the club and rave circuit even longer than Terraform’s fifteen year existence and by the late 90’s/early 00’s had established quite a name for himself in the US dance music scene. His history with Terraform includes a number of regarded 12″ singles and 2002’s Denver Live mix CD. However, a bout with high frequency hearing loss and his newfound role as the mogul of his own label, the downtempo imprint Cold Busted, has moved Vitamin D out of the clubbing limelight … but the tunes remain.
Thus Terraform unleash the previously unreleased “So Good,” a fierce tech-house cut featuring huge, pounding beats, a wild, insistent vocal sample line, and building clarion tones adding to the massive sonic charge. This one will definitely bring you back.

Eddie Armador is a house music legend, if no other reason than the words in his 1998 singles “House Music” (“… it’s a spiritual thing, a body thing …”). His plethora of large club singles for the likes of Yoshitoshi, Defected, and his own Mochicoprimo label are consistent house DJ staples. This firmly established reputation and track record convinced Terraform to work with Armador, and his remix of “So Good” in this package is part of this collaboration. Armador’s prototypical rhythm pulsations and punchy low end lend a hypnotic build to his Mochico Remix, accented by stereo manipulations of the vocal hook, now found in the foreground. The result is a bonafide dancefloor monster, well-primed for heavy duty peak time action. Vitamin D’s “So Good” and Eddie Armador’s Mochico Remix add serious weight to Terraform’s catalog of club music hefty tracks. Stay tuned for more exciting releases, including some more surprises from the vault.

We Are Human

Timo Maas (DJ, Germany) -- “Nice and melodic.”
Ashley Beedle (Black Science Orchestra, UK) -- “A lovely warm electric groove and the production is excellent. A great end of night tune.”
Thomas Blondet (Rhythm & Culture / ESL Music, US) -- Excellent “Really feeling this track! Dancefloor pressure!”
Joey Silvero (Distant People) -- “Great atmosphere and quite a dreamy but uplifting vibe.”
Deepchild (DJ, Germany) -- “Nicely reminiscent of Luomo’s work.”
Jamie Topham (CD Pool, UK) -- “The lead track is an accomplished production fusing electro, tech house, and soul into a dreamy 7 minute journey. Pure late night majesty.”
Checkpoint Charlie (MyCuppaT Blog) -- “The original is sublime deep house … wavy, paddy, and warm throughout with a perfect balance of vocals. It’s the ideal track for any blissed-out, poolside party from Ibiza to Sydney.” Hakan Libdo beefs things up with a techy vibe but it still brims with warmth and depth of production. Dance floor ready.”

Denver’s Terraform Records welcomes electronic music trio Ping Trace to the roster with their exceptional single “We Are Human“. Ping Trace consists of Sven, Lynnae Rome, and Jeremy Golden; two DJs and a vocalist focused on high-quality electronic music-scapes filled with catchy melodies and a lush, chill production style. Their previous, self-released Traces EP received attention and airplay around the globe inspiring Terraform to sign the trio to the label roster. Ping Trace’s first Terraform single, “We Are Human,” is a sleek slice of rolling deep house accentuated by Lynnae Rome’s gorgeous vocals and layered, evocative instrumentation. The original is backed by a techier remix from none other than Stockholm’s Håkan Lidbo, a producer who has been described as “one of the most prolific tech-house producers on the planet.” Lidbo’s melodic take expands “We Are Human” outward, pulsating with arpeggios and synth-lines anchored by a steady house music rhythm.

The “We are Human” release was chosen as the key project to re-launch Terraform Records in 2010. Terraform, recognized for its global tech-house dance records chose this release to signify its return. To ensure the highest level of production “We are Human” was mixed at Denver’s world-class Side3 Studios. Furthermore, Ping Trace worked with some of the best artists and engineers in music industry. The effort became a truly global pursuit. Ping Trace was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with Håkan Lidbo, who has been referred to as “one of the most prolific tech-house producers on the planet.” Håkan has produced records and remixed numerous tracks since the 1990s. His portfolio includes collaborations with a myriad of respected artists, notably Depeche Mode, with a remix of “Peace” in 2009. “We are Human” was mastered by Tim Young at Metropolis Group, UK. Young skillfully imbued the tracks with a magical sparkle, capitalizing on the adeptness resulting from 20+ years of practice in the art of mastering audio. Young has mastered tracks for The Clash, The Smiths, and Massive Attack, to name only a few amazing accomplishments from his career.

The Ping Trace We are Human release is supported with a vital international promotion campaign. The release is set to launch into the hands of more than 300 a-list tastemakers, DJs, worldwide radio programs, reviewers, international event organizers, and press (print magazines and online sites.) On release date, promoters will orchestrate a release announcement to over 15,000 fans, DJs and the music industry populace, as well as present the release to numerous record pools. The release will be posted on over 100 worldwide message boards, as well as presented to multiple relevant bloggers for review. Further promotional reinforcement will come through the music video “We are Human (Håkan Lidbo Radio Edit)” which will be posted on pertinent video sites, such as Youtube, Vimeo and Viddler.

Available Worldwide May 11th 2010. For more on Ping Trace visit www.pingtracemusic.com
