Hugh Lurcott - on So Get Up - Daily Beat

Hugh Lurcott - Daily Beat

"Those who know their house history will instantly recognize the vocals from the underground house/progressive that made waves over the Portuguese clubbing scene in 1994. Cosmic Gate leave them much intact, using them to dramatic effect."

Inspired perhaps by the launch of their new label, Cosmic Gate take a big bold step down the electric-house strasse here. Re-tasking the acapella-apocalypto written by and vocalized by Ithaka (Ithaka Darin Pappas) in 1993 [for Underground Sound Of Lisbon], they crank up the extreme frequencies and EQs while using trance aspects as incidentals, rather than the core. Sure to divisive in terms of Trance Family opinion, but any which way you cut it, you can't deny its effectiveness on the dance floor.
