Here we go . . . giving you another song that you can definitely "Bump It Loud!"
Mike Candys & Evelyn Featuring Patrick Miller - One Night In Ibiza.
Before I go further into the song, I always think it's nice to know a little bit about the artists involved. Unfortunately, this is all the information a wikipedia search for the artists is coming up with;
Mike Candys - born 21 August 1981, is a Swiss music producer and house DJ.
The second element of this song providing chorus, and back up vocals is;
Evelyn Zangger - born December 6, 1980 as Evelyn Valerie Zangger is a Swiss
singer / songwriter from Zurich.
The third element of this collaboration providing the rapped verses, is Patrick Miller who is a singer / rapper. Wikipedia wasn't able to provide any information in the case of Patrick Miller.
Well, I'm not sure if searching the collaborated artists really provided you with much of anything of use. Either way, we're not doing background searches - we're looking at what really matters here - One Night In Ibiza.
This song comes in just under 3 minutes, and the label behind this is Kontor. Honestly, when it comes to dance floor hit makers, and shakers you can always depend on Kontor to back something solid. And, with One Night In Ibiza you're not going to be let down. Kontor uploaded this on their Youtube channel back in August of 2011. The song is a bit dated but honestly, I'd spin this hard, and I'd definitely bump this loud!
The music has a Dance House vibe that's just solid. I'm enjoying the synth element of the song, and it has a solid beat to it. The bass, and beat structure of the song is perfect in pretty much every way that if you're working a club, then this is definite A song. When I label a song - A - most times what I mean is that this song is going to be able to go pretty much anywhere, in this case though - this is a song that needs to be at a forefront of set. You're not going to do it any justice by slipping this in the midst of your set, and don't even think about ending a set with this. This is a powerful song, and it's very well structured but more importantly thanks to Mike Candys this song is incredibly DJ friendly. He really took his experience as a DJ to make this song that's just a great balance of all elements.
Moving on to the rest of the song - we have the vocals provided by two artists; Evelyn, and Patrick Miller. Let's look at Evelyn first though. She is providing the vocals for the chorus, and to add a supporting element to the song itself. Her vocals are absolutely gorgeous!!!! She has such a powerful voice, but what I find that really helps is that she carries this almost seductive element that just brings the chorus to life. If there is an A capella track of her vocals for this song, then WOW - you've got to get your hands on it, and if you do please think of me. I'd love to really be able to work with her vocals because there is so much potential to work with just in this song alone! She adds such a perfect balance to the whole song, because in no way at all does one element of the song show more power then the other. Which is in no way impossible to find though I find it hard to find. I've always wanted to go to Ibiza Spain, and when I heard Evelyn's voice in this song it makes my desire to go to Ibiza even stronger now.
Patrick Miller adds his skills to the final element of the song - the verses. You hear this gritty bass filled voice just laying out the verses, and in my opinion it really adds that final layer of texture to the song that balances everything right out. What I really like is that when Patrick Miller steps up his voice almost reminds me of something I'd swear I use to play when I was a DJ back in the 90's. I love that! I always enjoy a song that really has some texture to it, and has this gruff to it. What makes it even better though is that you can hear his words, and you are even able to make out what he's saying. Not uncommon but just a personal preference of mine. I find though that with Patrick Miller in this song, he really evens everything out in the song. He doesn't overpower Evelyn, he doesn't overpower the music but if his vocals weren't there I don't think the song would carry the same kind of effectiveness or power that One Night In Ibiza has.
Overall, One Night In Ibiza shows that a hit doesn't have to be terribly long. I'd love to spin this in a club, and if I could get my hands on the vocals from Evelyn though there would be even more fun to sample to try to construct a remix on the fly in a club. I'd have to say though that while a transition would be best to bring this song to the speakers I have to wonder if it's just best to "slam!" this on, and just let itself bring forth the intensity to the floor. Once again, I know that this is a song I'd have to put in my sets, and with the way this collaboration was done I'd continue to play this over and over again since I believe that this is truly a "gem".
There are few places in the world that I've been wanting to see since I was a teenager, and really this song makes me want to go to Ibiza even more. One Night In Ibiza wouldn't be long enough, but I guess I can use this song as a great comfort for not being in Ibiza.
Bump It Loud!
