Promise Land ft. Alicia Madison – Sunshine Down (Laidback Luke Edit) [December 16 – Mixmash Records]

Mixmash Records and Laidback Luke have struck again with a brand new progressive house banger, courtesy of Promise Land. The Italian duo has been all over the place of late, releasing tracks on Doorn Records (“Noise” w/ Junior Black) and Size Records (“Bad DJ”). They come to Mixmash with their debut EP on the label, which features “Sunshine Down,” in its original form and with an edit from Laidback Luke. We have an official preview for “Sunshine Down,” a very powerful tune with a strong progressive melody and a very powerful big-room drop made in conjunction with Laidback Luke and perennial Mixmash vocalist, Alicia Madison. The EP will also include the instrumental version, titled “Heroes”.

The first thing that really catches your ears has to be Alicia Madison‘s voice. Just from clicking play on the preview, I am immediately enraptured by the sound of her voice, as she articulates each word. As she hits the bridge of her lyrics, the Promise Land melody begins to fade in from the background. It soon builds into full-power chords, complimented perfectly by the vocalist belting the chorus. This is then followed by a traditional Laidback Luke build-up of pitch bends, and very subtle snare rolls. The drop that follows mixes Laidback Luke‘s prowess for heavy bass with the original lighthearted melody from Promise Land, fully encompassing the purpose of the label boss’s edit.

This EP will drop on December 16, so enjoy this preview until then!
