Eyerer & Chopstick – Make My Day (Haunting)
3/07/2007That’s right our kid, iO Music continues it’s drive to become one of the UK’s leading purveyors of all that’s electronic and house (hey, just don’t call it Electro House!) with this stunning fresh new single from one of the hottest production teams in electronic house, Martin Eyerer and Chi-Thien Nguyen, better known as Chopstick.
If you know the difference between house (as in where you live) and house (the music) chances are you’ll have heard of these guys. Both hugely influential producers in their own right; Martin with releases on labels such as Ministry Of Sound, Above The Sky, Unsubmissive, alongside numerous collaborations and side projects while Chopstick has released music through Hooj, Silly Spider and his own Criminal Records.
Both sides of the team have a huge amount of support from such deck luminaries as Digitalism, Chloe, Moguai, Funk D’void and Tom Neville, whilst the list of artists this duo have remixed include Kosheen, Snap, Cassius, Deep Dish, LL Cool J, XZibit, Britney ‘single again’ Spears and Madonna. It’s fair to say we could actually run out space for famous people, DJs and labels that this duo have either remixed, been supported by or had records released by and that my friend is no easy feat!
Originally surfacing as an instrumental around the start of the year as Haunting, German dj/production duo Eyerer & Chopstick got on the phone to their French mate and Cassius front man Philippe Zdar to add his ‘cool as’ vocal talents to write a hooky lyric and turn this killer slice of ‘rocktronica’ into Make My Day.
Remixes come from mysterious outfit ISI-E who add their own slice of ‘zdarlight’ styled tough & jackin’ house and Mashtronic who keep it electronic but give the mix a spoonful of grunge.
Clocking up spins from Tong to Tiga and beyond as an instrumental, the new vocal version has already been named Essential New Tune (1/06/07) plus Jo Whiley’s Pet Sound (w/c 18/06/07) at Radio 1 and is shaping up to be an Ibiza & festival anthem for the summer.
