Over the course of the last year his productions have been supported by some of the world's top DJs including: Markus Schulz, Gareth Emery, Jerome Isma-Ae, Jaytech, Solarstone, Paul Oakenfold and more. His Lohit Records imprint which launched in November of 2010 continues to build momentum with 40 releases in ten months! Appearance's on Mistique Digital and Hyline Music have upped Kay's profile through 2011 and this week he make's his first appearance on Shane's highly regarded Jetlag Digital imprint. 'Hold On' which features vocals from Mridu comes with a great package of remixes from: Shane, Moodfreak and Def Digital.

Kay's original leads the package off with a tough kick and great dancefloor sense. Kay's driving progressive energy is sure to grab your dancefloor's attention straight away. A definite etheral vibe happening here as the cool melodic keys enter the mix and an impassioned theme takes over. As Mridu's vocal enters the track things get taken even a notch higher; huge, soaring and totally epic. Awesome stuff. 

Jetlag Digital owner, founder and head A&R provides the first interpretation in his usual killer style. It's a darker, meatier progressive track right out of the gate with a monster bassline, sinister sweeps and some bouncing synths that form a wicked dancefloor groove. As the drum elements get expanded on and the atmospherics enter the mix you can feel the energy rising really nicely.Then Mridu's wispy vocal drops and it's pure magic, such a great vibe on this record. The vocal is used sparely by Shane and it's an approach that serves the underground vibe perfectly. Top work from Shane.

Berlin based and Enhanced Recordings artist Moodfreak provides the next remix and he's added a nice electro/proggy flavour to the track. It's Moodfreak's bassline that gives it that slight electro feel, it's rough and incredibly groovy. As the mix progresses it takes on a much trancier vibe which turns out to be a great compliment to the 2 previous versions that were more on the pure progressive tip. Big chords and anthemic melodies make this perfect for prime time action.

The Australian duo Def Digital return to Jetlag Digital and provide the final remix on the package. Jake Scarmozzino and Warwick Browne aka Def Digital have been huge contributors to Jetlag with this marking their fifth appearance for Shane's top imprint. Def Digital have come through in spades here yet again, a hugely epic interpretation but still with a cool, underground feel. Ever the masters of vocal gates Def Digital have chopped up Mridu's vocal marvelously for a some killer dance floor hooks. What makes this perhaps the best mix on the package is how well all the synth elements play off each other. It's adds so much to the groove which sometimes gets lost in overly melodic records but not here. Amazing stuff from Def DIgital.
