Mitch De Klein – Mankind [Spectrum]

Spectrum welcomes Mitch de Klein. Sonically, creatively and emotionally he’s been a kindred spirit of Joris Voorn’s label since day one. But only now is he making his debut with two exceptional late night adventures. Timing is everything.

‘Mankind’ sets the agenda. Written by Mitch to purposefully take the dancefloor through a range of emotions, it start off gently before easing us through a whole manner of dramatic twists and turns. Expect the unexpected and savour every second of those pianos when they eventually land in the mix.

‘Resilience’ hits with equal amounts of beguiling charm and drama. Written specifically as an end-of-set moment, it’s a deal-sealing moment of reflection as once again we’re taken on an exciting mission through elements and emotions joining the dots between house and techno with heavy melodic intent.

People throw the word ‘journey’ around all the time in our game, but these really do take you on a wonderful trip. Let’s hope Mitch’s own personal journeys bring him back to Spectrum very soon.
