Releases / Ralf GUM - “Easy”

Ralf GUM’s follows up his ”Warrior” release on GOGO Music with another abolutely winner entitled ”Easy”. New York’s diva Inaya Day adds her incredibly versatile songwriter skills and delivers a marvellous sultry vocal performance, that makes this song, yes we say it - an anthem. There's plenty reason to get carried away by the melodic harmonies of Ralf GUM & CrisP’s Full Vocal Mix. The clever keys over the floating dope deep groove make this track is a sure blessing for the music enthusiast. The Ralf GUM & CrisP Disco Attack Dub comes up with supremely danceable beats accompanied by kicking baseline and driving guitars. It strips down the vocals and adds an excellent brass riff, which leaves no doubt about the fact that this mix a sure dancefloor winner.

On the remix tip RAW ARTISTIC SOUL delivers one of his subtle oustanding works with great atmosphere. Based on a unresistably melodious percussive groove Phil Kullmann adds an elegantly spiritual touch to his mixes. No doubt that his Remix and Dub will underpin his steadily growing reputation as one of the most upfront artists.

This second single taken from Ralf GUM’s currently in production album was already contained in a slightly different version on his GOGO Music Compilation ”GO!!” and already aroused quite some interest amongst many trendsetters, who have been asking for the track after hearing it on the CD. With this essential release Ralf GUM clearly prooves why he’s recognized as one of the most looked after producers for superb soulful tunes.

Ralf GUM - Easy - GOGO 023

There is a reason I asked Ralf GUM for a copy of this track as soon as I heard it on the "GO!!" compilation. "Easy" is the sencond single from Ralf GUM's upcoming artist album, featuring a passionate vocal performance by Inaya Day, with Ralf GUM & Cris P providing the irresistibly storming 'Full Vocal Mix' (the compilation includes a slightly different version) that features great melodies that together with the vocals create an anthemic vibe. Their 'Disco Attack Dub' intensifies by stripping down the vocals while adding funky guitar, brass riff and a groovy bassline. Phil Kullmann provides the remixes under his Raw Artistic Soul disguise, smoothing things down for a more subtle experience on the dancefloor that keeps percussively grooving from the beginning to the end, being on a very tasteful and stylish tip. by Michael Fossati

Ralf GUM - Easy - GOGO 023

Ralf GUM without any doubt has always been one of Germany’s pioneers when it comes to soulful house music. His GOGO Music label is well respected by all big jocks and after more than 20 single releases, a great album from Raw Artistic Soul and some wicked compilations the label don himself is currently working on an album. Taken from this forthcoming longplayer is a very nice track called ‘Easy’ with house diva Inaya Day on vocals. The ‘Ralf GUM & Crisp Full Vocal Mix’ blends soulful keys with great melodies and Inaya’s timeless voice. Phil Kullmann aka Raw Artistic Soul delivers 2 tasty atmospheric percussive excursions but it’s ‘Ralf GUM & Crisp’s Disco Attack Dub’ that will fill any floor thanx to a very effective arrangement of kickin beats, a ultra funky bassline, some driving guitars and a brass riff to die for. Nice! by Mannix

Ralf GUM - Easy - GOGO 023

GOGO’s latest is another quality production from Ralf GUM. Notable assists come from Inaya Day on vocals and Raw Artistic Soul twiddling the knobs on the remixes. There are four strong versions to chose from: two vocal mixes and two dubs. For me, the standout is Ralf GUM and CrisP’s “Disco Attack Dub” complete with driving bass, funky guitars, a catchy brass section, punchy drums, memorable keyboards and of course the vocals. Raw Artistic Soul provide a subtle, deeper ride with more gentle tribal rhythms. It’s a combination of production and songwriting talent that was never likely to disappoint and the results will bear fruit on most dance-floors. by Dean Serafini
