Hot house to kick off the summer
DJ Licious 'I Hear You Calling' (Positiva/Virgin EMI)
Belgian producer DJ Licious originally released his track ‘I Hear You Calling’ on his Shomi Recordings label as an instrumental. It garnered loads of attention from lots of DJs, to the extent that it seemed as though it might be able to become a crossover house hit due to the appeal of its big bass, anthemic chorus and brass fanfares. Yolanda Quartery, who previously lent her diva tones to Duke Dumont’s ‘Won’t Look Back’, has now been enlisted to provide the track with a vocal in order to take it all the way into the big leagues. This isn’t just a club track with a vocal stapled on. though; it works really well as a vocal banger in its own right, giving the original version a real shot in the arm.
