TJ Kong And Russ Gabriel feat. Robert Owens – Celebration [Large] {promo}
release date: Feb/15/2011
Amazing release with support from Jimpster, Danny Rampling, Roy Davis, Pezzner and many more.
To bring in the new year, Large Music is thrilled to announce our lineup for our 139th single release. Dutch artist TJ Kong (Erwin Van Moll) has been making waves recently with his exciting releases on Compost Black Label and a full length album for Compost as well. He teams up here with legendary UK techno legend Russ Gabriel and dance icon Robert Owens for a perfect Large Music anthem entitled ‘Celebration’.
Both TJ and Russ provide wonderful vocal mixes, each framing Robert’s poetic lyrics perfectly but still revealing each producer’s unique style and sound. TJ also provides two killer club oriented mixes- The After Hours Version and Heavenly Dub. Both of these remixes give the composition over to a darker, edgier feel.
For our final remix we have enlisted Barcelona based artist Soul Minority. He has recently moved into the spotlight as one of the new school soldiers of deep house and was selected as the ‘Artist to Watch’ on Beatport in 2009. His remix for Celebration showcases his trademark sounds and has an old school feel that pays homage to classic Chicago house. It is time for the Celebration!
Selected feedback:
Celebration is immense!! Love the retro flavour – Tom Middleton
Warm lush deep house cool track will support positive lyrics- Danny Rampling
All the mixes are wonderful. Nice work 10/10- Pezzner
DOPE!- Aaron Ross
Great release here! liking the original mix best on first listen. will be trying it out.- Jimpster
Wow! Large Music kicking off 2011 in Style! Supporting.- Nathan G

This EP is brilliant! My fave are Afterhours and Heavenly dub versions – Downtown Party Network
Nothing less than a proper house classic. this one’s just amazing in all its facettes.- Matthias Vogt
Lovely release! All the versions are great but the heavenly dub tops it for me!- Roberto Rodriguez
Nice package! Main Mix is the one for me. Thanks.-Julius Papp
Very good release! quality vocal with a lot of soul in the voice-Florian Kruse
