- Ever since New Kicks by Lonestar was featured by John Digweed on a Radio one mix last year it has been one of the most sought after tunes and the rumours began to circulate that it would be appearing on Bedrock, however it hasnt and has instead surfaced on relatively new label Maris music and follows up the equally impressive Soup by Rouzbeh Delavari.
New Kicks is one of those stunning pieces of music which just builds and builds, from the simple percussion to its deep and driving bassline it takes you on a journey into sound. The best though is saved till the break down where some lush and moody pads are brought in and its almost like listening to progressive house from about 5 years ago but is so classicly done it still sounds current. This is a Bedrock tune all over and is a perfect antidote to all the elecroclash stuff thats floating about now.
The remix on the flip is leaning much more to the electro sound of now and for me doesnt work as well, it doesnt have the simple beauty of the original and doesnt work as well.
Overall this is an excellent release for Maris and a track which i think you will be hearing quite a lot of this summer
