TIC TAC TOE RECORDS
- The top-notch Danish label for minimal house & techno – presents another slammer by our home-boys Hansen & DJ Daniel. This time, they’ve once again brought out their secret weapon from the arsenal – the unique vocal qualities of singer Jakob Kosteljanetz and made a fantastic track that’s also been tweaked into a huuuge remix.
Hansen & DJ Daniel have been here since we kicked off - and we’re proud to present their fourth Tic Tac Toe release. Their signature sound has gotten the attention of a widespread audience – and we’re confident that this new EP will be met with the same acclaim as the three before.
On this release we’ve employed the smooth talents of Kaito from Tokyo, Japan for a remix. He really doesn’t need much of a presentation. His melodic, ambient and mellowy, trancey albums and singles on the legendary Kompakt label are well known.
Cross The Ocean (Kaito Remix):
Summer is near – but already we’re pretty sure that we’ve found one of the HUGE TUNES for all the summer parties! Kaito has done a downright amazing 10 minute remix of the vocal track ‘Cross The Ocean’ – a cool piece that you can both dive dreamingly into and pa-harty away with. Between Kaito’s smooth hands and the even smoother voice of Jakob Kosteljanetz, we’ve ended up with a killer track with a slight reminiscence of old Underworld stuff.
Cross The Ocean:
The original track is a great piece of minimal funk with Jakob’s great voice on top, this time with lots of overdub. Again, Hansen & DJ Daniels’ signature style of dry percussions and an uncanny knack for immaculate little melody pieces lives up to the expectations – with an itsy-bitsy dash of a trance element added into the mix. This is pure pop music, and we know you love it, so don’t deny yourself.
December Memories:
Here at Tic Tac Toe HQ, we agree: This is pretty much the strongest production ever from Hansen & DJ Daniel. What a fantastic track, where the ambient trance-feel has been intensified, fusing seamlessly into the melancholic minimal melodies. This will move you like only a true morning track can. For the closed eyes, the tired mind and the sweat down the walls in a room filled with looooove!
