Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic's premier imprint has featured Gabor's productions nine times over the last few years and his work on Silk, Hyline, Digital Sensation and Morphosis is also held in very high regard by the electronic music underground. East Cafe's 'Iles Du Soleil' is out this week on Mistiquemusic and it marks teh Hunfarian producer's tenth appearance on the label. There are two new originals entitled 'Dominque' and 'Martinque' with the remixes supplied by Exoplanet and Tom Lue. The first original 'Dominque' leads the package of with a laid back, percussive groove. Even in the first minute of the track you notice so many exceptional elements. A wicked vocal sample, very live sounding drums and a great shuffling rhythm make this piece standout right away. Before long a siren brings us to the introduction of several funky instrumentation sections before the breakdown drops. Here a gorgeous piano is introduced while the drums keep the dance floor attention high. The record finishes as strongly as it started with it's amazing funky groove and musicianship. Amazing stuff from East Cafe.

The second original 'Martinique' is next and the energy picks up dramatically as the tempo is much higher than on 'Dominque'. Lovely bits of scattered electronics add to the flurry of energy created at the outset by the tough groove and again outstanding drums. The chord changes in the bass line are gorgeous and the emotional effect they have can't be ignored. A very brief breakdown serves to introduce a very subtle piano section and lovely chords but this is merely a quick interlude as it all washes away for the energetic groove once again. The second half of the record is epic with the pumping beats and chord changes taking centre stage once again for what results in a big party record of the highest order.

The first 'Martinique' remix is supplied by Exoplanet. Hailing from the Netherlands Exoplanet has been producing since the age of 13 or 14 and states his primary influences as Monolake and Bluetech. His productions on Proton and Particles are always amazing and grossly underrated. Here for his 'Matrinique' remix Exoplanet has delivered another monster interpretation. Exoplanet's intricately interwoven lines sound absolutely brilliant amidst the incredible dreamy atmosphere that he is so loved for. It's a deep and futuristic sound that is just so engaging. The long granular sweeps and washed out atmospherics create a hazy blur of electronic brilliance. The heavily processed synth parts from the original take on a completely different feel which is surreal and otherworldly sounding. Top remix from Exoplanet.

The final remix of 'Martinque' is supplied by Tom Lue who is making his debut on Mistiquemusic here. Tom hails from San Jose, California USA and has a good following of fans for his top notch productions on Retroid's Morphosis Records label and also for his DJ sets on Progressive Therapy Sessions and Morphosis Records Show both which air monthly on Pure FM. Tom's 'Martinique' interpretation hits it bang on the money as well. The tough kick, bouncy drums and driving bass line get the energy rolling early. The vocal gate, big lead arp and soaring chords fill out the heart of the track perfectly as you prepare for the drop. Tom's breakdown is amazing well crafted, an epic soundscape with a killer section of broken beats sitting underneath the melodic brilliance. A huge mix from Tom and a great way to close out an excellent package from Mistique!
