In the spotlight!
History repeats itself as Ralf GUM and his GOGO Music imprint kick the new year off strong with the essential "Complicated" featuring heartfelt vocals and superb trumpet play by Kafele, while Ralf GUM blesses us with a musical reach jewel oozing with a deep and soulful yet infectious vibe. Phil Kullmann aka Raw Artistic Soul goes as deep as it gets, turning the song into an absolutely irresistible dance floor gem that is guaranteed to cause a stir thanks to the hypnotizing chords used. South Africa's DJ Christos contributes both a classical styled soulful rendition as well as a deeper Afro workout. Last but not least there is Kafele's relaxed interpretation perfect for chillin' or loungin'. by Michael Fossati

The track is absolutely great! Lovely vocals by Kafele. Ralf GUM Main Mix has an afro beat with deep touch. The synth, the trumpet and the voices gives it something magic. Raw Artistic Soul Mixes are with a good intro, voices loops and with a minimal touch. Energetic... perfect for the dancefloor. DJ Christos Mixes are more deep and psycadelic...both the version... good vibes and sounds. Kafele remix brings a lot of bossa style...extremely refined and musically. Useful the instrumental versions. Another pearl under GOGO's brand. by Alessio Furia

Ralf GUM has just notched up another fantastic year in his career and enters 2010 with this very powerful soulful release reflecting his love for sexy tunes with astonishing freshness and prodigious deepness. This time he teamed up with Kafele, trumpeter, composer and producer, has been playing the trumpet for over 18 years, who he remixed already for the praised “Above the sky” release on his GOGO Music label. Ralf’s Main Mix is a musical rich pearl with the right vibe for the dance-floor or just pure listening pleasure. Remixes come courtesy of Phil Kullmann aka Raw Artistic Soul & DJ Christos who both help to maintain a high quality release for those lovers of fine soulful house music. by Steve Parr
