  • Share
  • Plastica enlist the talents of Stan Kolev for their first release of 2006,a name familiar to many having been the man behind such projects as Casa Flava,Casa Bulga and Sonic riders to name only a few.His ultra smooth productions have gained him a weighty reputation over time with some serious tracks and this is no different as Shana features the seductive vocals of Snajanka Nancheva. The Original mix layers neatly from the start with a groovin percussive roll setting the pace as a tougher beat is then added,followed in succession by the emotive vocal.While this is gathering momentum bright chords and bassline add to a feel good,enchanting factor that takes place the more the vocal develops.At the break proceedings wind down to a mystical serenity with the vocal taking centre stage before winding back up ever so gradually.Nancheva's vocals make the track which overall is reminisent of the massive East to West from Osiris.Its subtly emotive,hypnotic and quite refreshing. Flip it over and were treated to the Deeper mix does what it says on the tin,shifting the mood a little off centre with the addition of lush strings,deeper bassline and focusing on working in a few more twinkling melodies,complimenting the vocals while gathering at a slower pace. Pure,sweet as honey progressive from Kolev.
