Emi Brandan's journey into the world of music
The original single really encapsulates the feel and mood of Melancholic thoughts, and for us being in the heart of club land in Ibiza and the end of the summer seasons now here, its quite especially poignant. Emi's original tells a story of time sober thoughtfulness and the prolonged thought of happy memories which stay in the playful heart. A beautifully uplifting release with a ting of sadness.

The Music Of Herringbone
Micheal King is no stranger to V&P, he first came in to our line of vision when he remixed Bemannte & Bruder's "Driving" again in the Melodic House and Techno vibe to huge acclaim. This time he is back with his pseudonym Herringbone to take the original to a whole new level. Beginning deep and mood there is a deepness to this one, never takinh things to fast. It slowly starts to build never taking things to fast, breathing and building to the monster of a track that finally opens up to envelop the dance floor. The break down just gives us a hint of the original but then once again burst in to life. Reaching no 24 in the Melodic House Releases chart is no mean feet in a genre flooded with massive artists, and yet still the quality shines thru.
