Aldrin presents 'Thinking Out Loud'

The Nascent label continues to bring DJs to the big stage who are admired by English club magazines like MixMag and DJmag. Steve Gerard and James Tok have already had successful starts, and now it's time for one of the most promising Asian DJs, Aldrin. Aldrin is a resident at one of the world's best clubs - Zouk in Singapore. He has been a resident since the club's inception, playing alongside numerous stars and impressing them with his skillful vinyl manipulation. Danny Tenaglia said that this young man embodies everything great about modern DJing, English journalists dubbed him with epithets like 'Asian DJ number one' and 'best resident of the best club in the world.' Aldrin has been touring the world for a long time, drawing enthusiastic clubbers to dance floors. In his mix 'Thinking Out Loud,' Aldrin went all out - compiling a mountain of records, paying little attention to their release year, and creating a mix that is vibrant and well thought-out from start to finish. Following the rules of high DJ artistry, using his own versions that are typically exclusive and adding an extra shine. For those who understand track names and labels, it's all simple - just glance at the tracklist to understand that the entire mix is infused with fresh ideas and trends emerging in the most cutting-edge clubs worldwide, including the Singaporean Zouk. It's progressive house, but presented in a completely new package, with a fresh sound, a balance of firmness and melodiousness, and of course, very danceable, with a touch of hypnotism that the best examples of progressive house have always been known for. Jeff Bennett, Bart Van Wissen, Slam, Neil Quigley, Nick Muir, and two dozen other familiar, unfamiliar, very famous, and completely unknown names. The main point here is not the names, but how Aldrin utilized this musical material (here, one can't help but remember the words of the patriarch of the world dance culture, Danny Tenaglia). The result is two mixes that envelop and completely immobilize the listener's thoughts. But in this case, the listener is not against it, but only for it. This is not an ordinary DJ mix - it is a culmination of all that the DJ culture has absorbed over the past twenty years.
