Steve Hartz & DDrey – Dreamer (FRAMED 87%)

Whenever you’re ready for a funky tune, ‘Dreamer’ is here! And it got FRAMED by our followers with 87%, how awesome! It’s a fabulous step in the right direction for Flamingo’s sublabel CYFI (Can You Feel It) Records to sign a track like this. We see that this kind of music is having a huge breakthrough in 2019, as it receives tremendous support from a lot of big labels in the dance scene. And we keep writing about it!

These producers met each other at a festival and started producing together to create this disco-flavored pearl. “Hidden Gem” Steve Hartz owns a relatively small, but quality discography. He showed his potential already with a smasher on Protocol’s ADE sampler of 2018 with FUNKYBEAT: ‘Runaway’. Another charming record is ‘Changes’, released on Gemstone Records, which indicates that he feels very comfortable in this sound. That’s why he’s part of the “Hidden Gems” EP of Hardwell’s sublabel with a track called ‘Take Me’, also a lovely record. We’re sure Steve has a lot of music to share in 2020, we’re looking forward to it! His collaborating partner DDrey released his first track in 2014 and loves to experiment. It seems like this Spanish guy masters every style he likes to create, according to his discography. DDrey varies a lot: instrumental, progressive, accessible pop, everything! We hope he will find a sound which he’s comfortable with to build his brand, he’s got skills to share!

Inspiration
Sushifree, who originated in the North-West of Italy, grew up in an environment full of House Music. He has played piano since he was 6 years old and he is presented with the biggest Italian songwriters. Later on, his love for electronic music grew bigger and heavy-weights like Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, and Calvin Harris became sources of inspiration.

“‘Safe’ allowed me to sign across the border.”

Remarkable
Sushifree loves to energize his audience with piano and synth melodies on solid drum grooves. That’s exactly what you hear the best in ‘Safe’, guided with a harmonizing vocal. These elements together deliver a big wave of ‘awesomeness’. Remarkably, this track is completely different from other tracks. “For Me, I think ‘Safe’ sounds more adult and more complex than others. It’s a step further in my search for a personal Tech House sound that characterizes me as an artist. Besides that, I definitely improved my skills along the process! I focused more on mastering, thanks to my teacher and friend Luca Testa.”

Opportunities
Because of ignoring Italian record labels temporarily, the opportunities came to sign across the border. “This track allowed me to sign with Swutch Records, which has connections with big names like Kontor, Toolroom, and others! I will just keep producing, looking for a new sound that combines the power of Tech House and Pop & Electro influences”. It is clear that Sushifree knows exactly what angle of music fits the right spots in the market. That’s another big step in the right direction! With the progress he’s making at the moment, we’re sure that he’ll be successful in the industry with his innovations.
