HELLO FOLKS!!!
WE ARE REALLY EXCITED AND VERY PROUD TO ANNOUNCE YOU THAT OUR NEW EP OUT ON BEATPORT!!!

SPIRIT CATCHER 'SEDONA EP' - SYSTEMATIC RECORDINGS

Show your support and get your copy now!!!
HERE
THANKS GUYS!!! HOPE YOU'LL LIKE!!!


HERE'RE THE PRESSHEET:

Spirit Catcher are becoming more and more a permanent member of the Systematic family. After their debut E.P. last year and their contribution to the “5YSYST” project last summer, today's three track E.P. is their latest production on my Systematic imprint.
Something which always impresses me a lot is how Jean and Tom continue to develop their distinctive Spirit Catcher sound, no matter if they release on 20:20 Vision, NRK, Moodmusic or elsewhere. It's always an awesome mixture of uplifting, driving house beats, a portion of deepest darkness and fresh hypnotic sounds!
I love the way they install the dark organ melody in “Sedona”. The organ sounds pretty outta space and floats me away when I close my eyes.
Also, the mystic mood of “Future Fools” gives me goose-bumps, every time I hear it. The reversed Detroit chord pattern is stunning and one of the finest arts of tech house.
(Marc Romboy, November the 23rd 2009)

DJ FEEDBACK….
 
Martin Eyerer - "I like Sedona. Will play and feature in my radio show! Good stuff."
 
Wally Lopez - "Incredible EP...support to Future Fools."
 
Deetron - "Sedona is a nicely groovin builder and the jet/siren sound in Forever and a day should definitely do the damage ;-)"
 
Matthias Vogt - "Sweet chocolate from my Belgian boys! Again a great release for Systematic after the glorious Astor. Ace!" 
 
Monika Kruse - "Sedona is groovy and sexy! Support!"

We'll be joining acts like Talvin Singh, Dzihan & Kamien, Mozes, Cornelius, Jon Hopkins and Pete Lawrence to spend a week at the Coral Strand hotel.
Hope to see you there ;-)
