Alexey's debut on Tactal Hots was his excellent remix of Eric Franchet's 'As In A Dream' which was released in early October. 'Flashback' is Alexey's newest offering and it comes with remixes from: Ben Coda and Louder Dale.

Alexey's 'Flashback' original leads the package off with a tough groove and some really fresh sounds. A set of hypnotic stabs soon get introduced and prove to be wicked hooks which lead to the first drop. Here the introduction of a big synth lead takes centre stage, it's a wonderfully warm organic interlude which leads us back to the club friendly groove. A soft set of chords descends over the track and the synth lead returns for a brief and epic appearance. The main breakdown brings the wicked lead back into focus amidst a wavering tone that provides some nice tension. As the piece builds back up the lead opens up and the tone intensifies for a great climax where a soft acid line is introduced for a huge finish.

Well known and much loved UK producer/DJ Ben Coda supplies the first remix of 'Flashback'. Ben's productions have only gotten bigger and more polished over the last year and it's seen him with massive releases on Unreleased Digital, Enormous Tunes and Silk Digital. Ben's 'Flashback' interpretation is another huge main room monster that we've all come to expect from him. A massive chunky bass line with tremendous bounce and a lead arp that has a killer dance floor hook sets the framework down. This is highlighted with a gorgeous breakdown which is full of big warm chords and waves of sweeping noise that should create many magical dance floor moments

The final remix on the package is supplied by Alexei Nefedov aka Louder Dale who is a new up and coming Russian producer. Alexei has only 2 releases thus far, his 'Halo' single on Arrival and a remix for Proff on a Proton Mixed Compilation. His production quality far exceeds what you may think for an artist with only two discography credits. For his 'Flashback' remix Louder Dale has delivered a monster big room interpretation. Razor sharp synth lines cut through the atmosphere with ferocity while big sweeping chords and emotional key changes tease the senses mightily. The build on the wobbly synth and bass line during the break is epic and the modulation on these brings the piece to huge climax. Storming remix from Louder Dale and a great package from Tactal Hots.
