Neon Jungle by Christian Smith, Harry Romero
October 2017 brings the next big release from Christian Smith, with his album project Synergy. Compiled of 14 original tracks, the album is a selection of collaboration tracks he has produced on the road and at home in his own studio over the last 10 months with some legendary names as well as up and coming talents alike.
Tronic are drip feeding fans two releases, in August and September, before the full release on the 9th October. First up is Neon Jungle a debut collaboration for Christian with house legend Harry Romero, which was produced in Harrys studio on a trip to New York.
Neon Jungle kicks off with an enticing groove, locking you into the track layer by layer, as hats build along a bubbling synth line. Snare hits tease the listener as the synth modulates into a short but very sweet breakdown, sending dance floors into a euphoric frenzy.
Jungle Life has some old school electro elements all over it. An acid inspired bass line booms like sub bass should. The funk inspired rhythm builds organically over an echoing, atmospheric vocal stab, which draws you into the depths of this awesome track.
The whole EP oozes with serious jungle funk, offering two tracks that work together so perfectly in this debut collaboration for Christian and Harry. Get your dancing shoes on, this one is going to get you swinging!
