Greetings fellow dance music lovers. Winter is upon us – as power bills rise and woodpiles diminish, do not fear as Empathy Recordings has another log to throw on your fire. You may remember Empathy’s latest release EMPD008 ‘The Empathy Digital EP 2009′. This collection of quality tunes showcasing the talents of our current artists featured a stormer of a breaks number entitled:
‘Vegas’- produced by label stalwarts Double_Negative. Since its release, the brooding monster that is Vegas has rocked both radio waves and dance floors alike. Empathy is now excited to announce the release of EMPD009 the ‘Vegas Remix EP’.
Still going strong after seven years, Empathy has made some great friends and released some super-talented artists. Spanning a variety of dance genres – Empathy has notched up several quality releases on its belt and been a staple for dance music enthusiasts, from New Zealand and abroad.
Feeling super chuffed with ourselves – we decided to celebrate by asking some of the best talents we’ve had the pleasure of releasing to remix Double_Negative’s ‘Vegas’. The result is an irresistible assortment of tunes in every colour of the dance genre rainbow from Drum n Bass to Dubstep, Breaks/Electro to Glitch.
WARNING: This EP contains HUGE remixes from the likes of Johnny Hooves, White Papoo, Opiuo, Undertow, Flirt with Dirt, Organikismness and Mars.
