Releases / Ralf GUM vs Dennis Legree & Inaya Day - “Try Me”

Hot on the heels of Ralf GUM’s latest smash “Beautiful” comes this very exciting release by GOGO Music entitled “Try Me”. For this time teaming up with Benny Pecoraio Ralf continues his joyous way with this surely not average house production - a fine duet sung by Inaya Day and Dennis Legree.

Dennis who’s debuting on GOGO Music is a versatile singer of Gospel, Blues, R&B, Funk, Soul, House, Jazz, Spirituals, Classicals as well as Musicals and gained our hearts in a storm with his superior vocal performance. He recently returned from the US National tour of “Starlight Express” where he received rave reviews for the role as “Poppa” which he also played in Germany. Other musicals he performed include “Victor Victoria”, “Ain’t Misbehaving” and “Hair”. His voice simply matches perfect with Inaya Day’s vocals.

Inaya who gained the title “best female vocalist” at last year’s “HouseMusicAwards”, has charted four #1 and two #2 dance hits on Billboard, had six songs that made it to the Australian ARIA charts, was featured in first Sandra Bullock’s movie "Who Shot Pat?" and recorded with artists such as Missy Elliott, Randy Crawford, Michael Jackson, Al Green, Ashford and Simpson, Queen Latifah and MC Lyte to name a few.

Producer, musician and DJ Benny Pecoraio once again lives up to his reputation providing Ralf GUM’s crunchy beats with his unique style of instrumentation. He gained much respect with his remix works on GOGO Music and lately reworked “One Touch feat. Sharlene Hector - Live your life” to be released on Purple Music soon and already championed by Jamie Lewis in his latest mix-show for a start.

Ralf GUM vs Dennis Le Gree & Inaya Day - Try Me - GOGO 016

"Try me" is a duet by Dennis Legree & Inaya Day produced by the hands of Ralf GUM and Benny Pecoraio for whom it is the first production after several great remixes. Their original version is an uplifting and catchy affair featuring slammin' beats and warm melodic keys that create wonderful harmonies, while giving the song an irresistible feeling. Roberto De Carlo provides the remixes, delivering a timeless soulful reworking on the vocal version that has a jazzy-funky flavor to it, being driven by a smooth yet fierce groove. On the dub, he intensifies the funky feeling, turning out a steadily grooving and totally irresistible track that will keep the dancefloors moving. by Michael Fossati

There is already a massive buzz on this track and when you hear it and also see how well it goes down on the floor you can understand why. 3 versions: "Ralf Gum & Benny Pecoraio Original", "Roberto De Carlo Funky Dub Mix" and "Roberto De Carlo Classic Vocal Mix", it really is hard trying to choose which one I like best because they all have some great points to them. Well done Ralf for another great release! by David Colkett

The last GOGO release, "Beautiful" is still on virtual constant rotation on my 1210’s so needless to say when this popped into my Inbox (how record promotion has changed!!) it was always gonna grab my attention. Thankfully it didn’t disappoint as soulful vocals from Dennis Le Gree & the hardest working woman in house, Inaya Day, lay the platform for some quality production courtesy of Ralf GUM. Another superb offering from what is on current form one of the hottest imprints around. 5/5 by Curtis Zack

A very joyful and funky release from GOGO Music, light and breezy sound with two great vocalists who perform the song really well and assisted with some nice keys and sounds that hold the groove excellently. This is going to prove a very popular track in the coming weeks. by Steve Parr

Ralf GUM vs Dennis Le Gree & Inaya Day - Try Me - GOGO 016

The label that never dissapoints is back with another hot tune with the outstanding voices from Dennis Le Gree and Inaya Day, who melted together as such a perfectly sounding team. Dennis, who comes from the classical musical adds so much soul that even Inaya's usually fiercer sounding voice seems softer here. Maybe the best duo in house since Arnold Jarvis / Fonda Rae's 'You're the best' from legendary Kerri Chandler. Swiss hottest youngster in house does it dubby and shots a pure winner in a very hot 'Mousse T Back In The Days' sounding way with his 'Funky Dub'. Don't forget to give his 'Classic Vocal Mix' a serious listen, too - anthem alert! Better get two copies to play the essential vocal mixes and then mix them up with THAT dub, then enjoy the effect and the pumping vibe to have your crowd jumpin' with big smiles on their faces to it.

Würde jedes Houselabel eine so derart hohe Qualität mit jedem neuen Release abliefern, wie es GOGO Music seit seiner Gründung macht, hätte die Houseszene in Deutschland weiterhin die Achtung im Ausland, wie es zu den besten Zeiten von Peppermint Jam, ROI oder Flamingo Discos der Fall war. GOGO Music erfährt besonders in den UK und den USA einen enormen Respekt - zu Recht. „Try Me“ ist die Gute-Laune Hymne für verregnete Herbst- und kalte Wintertage, die Bombe die man um 2 Uhr im Club zündet, wenn wir unsere Augen schließen und die Hände nach oben gehen. Inaya Day und Dennis Legree sind das perfekte Duo und bekommen vom Airport/Studio Resident und Labelhead Ralf GUM, dem Würzburger Multitalent Benny Pecoraio und dem Schweizer Shooting-Star Roberto De Carlo die beste Unterstützung, um „Try Me“ zur wahren Hymne werden zu lassen!

Wij bespraken nog niet eerder een plaat van het Gogo Music label van Ralf Gum. Deze producer heeft al een flinke staat van dienst opgebouwd met zijn deep-house, grooves en broken beats producties. Deze plaat is geen uitzondering. Het is een jazzy deep-house plaat waarbij vooral de originele versie ons weet te boeien. De sterke ‘keys’ in de track maken deze plaat tot een onmisbaar item. Kijk op www.gogo-music.net voor meer informatie over deze topper. 9/10 by Arnold Derksen
