Harvey McKay “Welshly Arms”

Paul — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 11:33:22 +0000

Harvey McKay is not an unknown name to the global techno scene. His name sky rocketed after a couple of EP’s and his full artist album on the infamous Soma label at the end of last year. He also worked for fine labels such as Perc Trax, Variance etc.!

Where the title track is a fierce techno gem, the Sonic Sky track takes it a bit more to the dreamy side of things. Harvey McKay is showing his versatility here.

Giorgos Gatzigristos has been around for quite some time but seemed to have found his second life with recent releases/remixes on infamous labels such as Bedrock, Outside The Box, Snejl, Baroque, Groovecollection etc. With his remix he shows why he is one of the hottest producers around at the moment!

Allready massive support by Sasha, Danny Tenaglia, Patrick Chardronnet, Nuno Dos Santos, Matador, Markantonio, Mark Henning, Eelke Kleijn, Paul Hazendonk, Wehbba, Max Cooper, Taras van de Voorde, DJ 3000, Chris Finke and many many others (for the complete list click here)

Available at Beatport first two weeks exclusive now (direct link).
Other shops will start selling it on March 24th.
