Track Review

Lenny Fontana & D Train - Raise Your Hands (John Morales Mixes)[Karmic Power Records]

Three years on from the initial release and with numerous remixes in between then and now, Lenny Fontana & D Train's collaboration from 2015 "Raise Your Hands" gets the John Morales M&M treatment with excellent results. For those who don't recall, the song is built on the legacy of D Train's own classic composition "Music" and is a proper hands in the air style track that's aimed to get you on the floor and singing along. Of all the remixes to date, these are the ones that stick closest to the original vibe. M&M mixes over the years have rarely strayed too far from the initial concept, choosing instead to re-interpret for the sort of floors John packs out every week on his travels all over the world. There's an extended intro, the bass feels a little beefier and the rhythms roll a little more than the original mix but other than that it's a highly tasteful retouch rather than reconstructive surgery. Available now on Traxsource and many other digital platforms.
