Toni Sea & Ralf GUM - "Beautiful" - GOGO 015
GOGO Music remain as one of those hidden gem labels that continue to impress on a continual level through each and every release. This time around label chief Ralf GUM enlists in the vocal talents of Toni Sea - a new vocalist to my ears but one that I'll defnitely be looking out for in the future. The first mix takes shape through a slick yet rolling bassline and sweet guitar flicked stabs all providing the funky stable backbone for the dynamic vocals to do their job. The second mix from RAW ARTISTIC SOUL notches up the afro-rhumba sound, the beats flip and roll in a calypso style and the brass introduction & guitar hook provides much the same feel... imagine late nights in the sunshine and your half-way there! The final rework from Roberto De Carlo runs along smoothley using nice key melodies and a live plucked bassline whilst the sweet vocals shine through once more. by Russell Pollitt

:: "Ralf GUM teams up with Tony Sea to give us an uplifting vocal track, in its original form Ralf opts 4 an electro bass, bouncy keys & a vocal that cuts through the mix beautifully, with some cool synth & guitar riffs in there for good measure, the sound is unmistakably "gogo"! Signor De Carlo goes for the more "funky" soulful angle that brings out the song to its full capacity in its true form. With a top notch vocal performance by Madame Sea, Mr De Carlo spreads it over the track with ease, one for the more classier floors! As for the Raw Artist Soul mix, they start things of carnival style, with an original afro beat which is so refreshing after hearing so many tracks with the same "snare snare" afro drum beat formula. They then introduce us to a killer horn section with a riff that will stay in my head 4 a while and then "crash bang wallop" they bring the funk with sum sexy guitar and vocal stabs, add sum strings, haunting piano, sweet percussion & a beautiful horn solo "mmmm nice" my personal fave of the bunch !
