by Ran Salman September 28, 2016

Belgian duo Raw District return to the Crosstown Rebels label with ‘Addicted’, teaming up with the formidable Aquarius Heaven again for the label, this time remixed by the infamous Doc Martin and Keinemusik’s Rampa.

“For us working on a vocal tune was always being as collaborative as possible in the creative process,’ explains Massimo DaCosta, one half of Raw District with Vernon Bara, speaking of their collaboration with Aquarius Heaven AKA Brian Brewster. ‘Brian makes things so efficient as he has this typically easy way to write and sing amazing lyrics. I would love to get a chance to be inside his head to discover where he finds this extraordinary creative inspiration.”

An ex reggae dancehall and hip hop singer, Aquarius Heaven brings the colors of the Caribbean to ‘Addicted’. Raw District’s flamboyant percussions grinds the beats into a track that stretches the limitations of electronic music.

Rampa’s remix illustrates the breadth of his studio skills, as founder of a production company TEILE, he builds soaring synths and strumming piano to elevate the emotional aspect to ‘Addicted’ equipping it for the early hours of the night. Doc Martin has earned the respect of many over his extensive career for his timeless style that bridges many genres. His remix gives a bold, new outlook for the track and deeper insight into his ever growing futuristic sound.
