  • il y a 17 ans
Positiva continues to hold its position at the forefront of UK dance music. The label enters its 13th summer in fine form, fresh with 2006 hits from The Source, The Shapeshifters, Deep Dish, and beyond, and a summer line-up that boasts releases from Ferry Corsten, The Shapeshifters & Chic, Teamsters, Soul Avengerz, and, this, the return of the mighty Chocolate Puma with their underground anthem, ‘Always And Forever’.

Dutch DJs and producers, Rene ter Horst and Gaston Steenkist, are no strangers to credible dance hits either, their debut single, ‘I Wanna Be U’, took clubland by storm in 2001, and later reached No.6 in the UK singles chart. Their follow-ups have been dancefloor smashes too, picking up Essential New Tune on Pete Tong’s Radio 1 show on more than one occasion.

Chocolate Puma is but one of many names that the pair record under, add Jark Prongo, Tomba Vira, Rene & Gaston, The Goodmen (the infamous ‘Give It Up’), and more to the list, not forgetting remixes for the likes of Roger Sanchez, Armand Van Helden, Britney Spears, and Stereo MC’s, and you have a hefty contribution to modern dance culture.

2006 sees Chocolate Puma in fine form. ‘Always And Forever’ has been building a head of steam on the underground for some time now, picking up new fans by the week, and showing all the signs of being one of this summer’s finest dancefloor anthems. A stripped down, ‘less is more’ musical approach makes the track all the more interesting. A dash of tribal drums, a building bassline, and the signature vocal from David Gonçalvez combine for a powerful house track that’s caught the ears of Pete Tong, Martin Solveig, Bob Sinclar, Tom Stephan, Axwell, and many more.

Alongside the original, the remix package features top mixes from the on form Till West, and Grant Nelson.
