One of the biggest success stories this year has come from one of the latest techno duo to emerge out of Europe: Joyhauser.

Joyhauser fell on 6AM’s radar after their release Tribunal with Phobiq back in 2017. Ever since then, they have made Terminal M’s best of 2018 with their breakthrough EP C166W, a single at the beginning of 2019 called “Killer Bee,” and a spectacular remix to Amelie Lens‘ “Hypnotized” a few months later.

Premiere: CJ Jeff Remix of Eddie Amador’s “6AM” Out On Yoshitoshi September 26th

/in , , /by

CJ Jeff

The Yoshitoshi journey back in time to revisit some of its best classics continues, this time going back ten years to 2006 for a remix of Eddie Amador’s aptly titled “6AM.”

In charge of revisiting the track and giving it a brand-new twist is none other than Greek producer and DJ maestro CJ Jeff. As the title may suggest, the original is an ideal late night/early morning tune packed with the essential groove that makes it an ideal weapon for any after-hours arsenal. CJ Jeff’s signature is clearly audible throughout his new rework, beginning with an imposing 808 kick that carries the mix forward and continuing with the smooth melodies and contagious vocals that saturate the track throughout.

The result is exemplary Yoshitoshi material – the type of strong release that has elevated Sharam’s imprint into one of the most eclectic and sought-out labels in today’s electronica industry.

The remix is part of a double A sided package that also contains an Ardalan remix of Eddie Amador’s “Psycho X Girlfriend.” Scheduled for vinyl and Beatport release on Monday September 26th, the digital package will also contain both remastered original mixes.

Enjoy an exclusive preview of CJ Jeff’s Remix of “6AM” by Eddie Amador below.

6AM Exclusive: Rony Seikaly – “Sword” EP out on Yoshitoshi Recordings

/in /by

Rony Seikaly is no stranger to Yoshitoshi, having released his upbeat single “Holdin’ On” and its techy B-side “Faces” on the imprint last year. What “Sword” confirms, however, is both Seikaly’s music production acumen and his well-deserved place in today’s house music scene.

This two-track EP, exclusively premiered through 6AM, has everything it should have. The bass is decidedly heavy, yet both tracks remain relentlessly melodic and easy on the ear. “The Sword” is tribal in nature and packed-full of groove, a perfect track for the early hours of the morning. “All Of A Sudden” completes the EP perfectly, following suit with interlaced chords and a heavyweight kick over elegant percussions.

Make no mistake, Seikaly’s strength and experience as both a producer and DJ have been paying off, as his recent billing alongside Music On chief Marco Carola prove. “Sword” is the ultimate testament to that, delivering the ideal dance floor selection for any DJ looking to get a crowd dancing into sunrise.

The digital release is available for purchase on Beatport and for your listening pleasure below:
