     In the ever-expanding search for good electronic belters, we went into
     building a bridge between two continents responsible for so many good
     artists in the last few decades, with some of them being true legends of
     the house sound. From Detroit to Napoli and Marseille. From Zurich and Bari
     to Chicago. Ladies and gentlemen, this is 'Bridges: An American - European
     Dance Connection'

     What better way to open the various release than with Chicago's immortal
     Boo Williams. 'Real Time' is a power tool bearing Boo's known sound
     signature with dance floor rhythmics and some creamy melodies throughout
     the track.

     Rick The Godson Wilhite's & Jon Easley's A2 'Mental Feelings' brings those
     irresistible Detroit pads layered over subtle bassline and occasional
     percussions. Although the track keeps a constant course, it is still
     multi-layered and emotion-provoking.

     Blooming synth pieces played over dry drums and with good momentum is just
     what you would expect from another of Chicago's finest - Gene Hunt. His B1
     'Space Relm' delivers a fast-paced flow with beautiful and crafty breaks in
     between.

     B2 'Escape Two', the '90s sound tour de force. Dan Piu manages to capture
     the pure ambience of that era in this multi-styled late-night belter. From
     baseline to synths, the track is constantly progressing
     and shifting through dark and moody segments. Good stuff.

     If we wouldn't know better, C1 'Tribute To The Sound' would probably be
     acknowledged as a work of some Detroit head, but no. This beautiful tune is
     a work of Marseille-based Life Recorder. Truly specific Detroit House vibe
     in this one. Ironically, perfect puzzle for the Bridges release.

     Tribal atmospheric dirtiness on C2 'The Deep(5 am)' signed by Bari's
     Nu-Cleo sounds pretty simple on the outside, but at its core, it carries a
     strong bond between bassline, rhythm and pads. Swimming into summer sunset
     the track is filled with gold deepness and organic hits.

     D1 'Surface' by Nemanja Krstic is a perfect warmer for any occasion. Late
     afternoon or early morning you name it. What gives this track a special
     vibe is its unfiltered raw sound which forms a beautiful fusion with deep
     sequences. The beach is calling.

     D2 "P.C.M. (Parthenope City Music)" is a pure definition of a catchy loop
     segment. The soulful guitar segment is soon joined with a dancefloor
     bassline and lush hats only to be pushed into playful intermission picking
     up the speed and once more pulling it back into that sweet segment.
     Enchanting tune by The Mechanical Man!

     enjoy!
