Hernan Cattaneo & John Tonks: AnimeA1. 'Anime' (Original Mix)A2. 'Anime' (Rocco Bonus Beats) B1. 'Anime' (Rocco Dub Mix) 1.'Anime' (Rocco Main Mix) 2.'Anime' (Steve Mill Remix) 3.'Anime' (Sam Ball Remix) Thriving in a slip stream of momentum, Urbantorque have really pulled out the stops on this release. A true superstar DJ without the superstar ego, Hernán Cattáneo has been a long-time supporter of UT, and has stepped up in cahoots with genius production partner, John Tonks, to deliver a formidable label debut. Rocco, one of the Rodamaal quartet, shows why he's such hot property at the moment with three astoundingly compelling remixes. Plus appetising remixes from Urbantorque wonderkids, Sam Ball and Steve Mill, come on digital format. A1. 'Anime' (Original Mix) – The big guns deliver a big track for the big room. Trippy, pulsing fare fuelled by an insidious groove. Big. A2. 'Anime' (Rocco Bonus Beats) – Tantalisingly atmospheric bonus beats and pieces from the Lyon wizard. B1. 'Anime' (Rocco Dub Mix) – A tense, suspense-filled remix that bubbles and rises as deep melody rides atop an entrancing groove and entices all-comers onto the dancefloor. 1.'Anime' (Rocco Main Mix) – A deeper, softer, more supple approach, tender and subtle. 2.'Anime' (Steve Mill Remix) – A remix brimming with bouncy energy and enthusiasm from the young Greek. 3.'Anime' (Sam Ball Remix) – This one dexterously jabs and spars its way to the heart. Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee. A man needing little introduction, Argentine Hernán Cattáneo took clubland by storm in the mid-'90s and has gone on to become one of the most-loved DJs around the world, holding residences for Cream and Renaissance across the globe. Hernán's recently teamed up with super-versatile John Tonks, whose credits include work with the likes of Neneh Cherry, Tricky, and Duran Duran, to produce big-hitting tracks such as 'Warsaw' (Bedrock), 'Sirocco' (Renaissance) and now 'Anime' (Urbantorque). Rocco is Lyon based DJ and producer perhaps better known as one quarter of Rodamaal, them of 'Insomnia' fame, Buzzin' Fly regulars, and those responsible for inspiring Ame's best remix to date. He's also been chipping away on his tod, notching up releases such as 'Roots 4 Acid' (Buzzin' Fly) and 'Heartbeat' (Shack), and remixing Dennis Ferrer's 'Church Lady' and Cloudkicker's 'Bring On The Night'.
