Barry Obzee – Cairo (Inc. Mike Newman Remix)

You may recall a few weeks back in a previous review, that you would be hearing a lot more from the name Barry Obzee, and I weren’t kidding!

This is a two-part release on Influential House consisting of an original version and a remix by Mike Newman. If you’ve heard tracks from Barry Obzee before then you’ll know his unique sounding old skool stab chords and his deep sub basslines. Starting off with the original, this is a perfect example of main room house music. He has married together some deep bass, stabby chords and a familiar horn pattern in an arrangement that breaks down and builds with a huge riser, into an almighty drop. This is a guaranteed dancefloor smasher!

Next up is the remix from well known Hungarian producer ‘Mike Newman’, this version couldn’t be more different! Mike has taken to a slightly more chilled approach to the track with a flowing warped bassline sat under some bouncy tech drums. The drums eventually filter down with the bassline, and the old skool chord pattern from the original comes in. After some more filtering, a long riser builds the track back up and drops back into the warpy b-line. This makes me want to dance!

Personally I’m torn between which version I prefer, they are both great. Grab your copy now!
