EDM.com Presents: The House Brew, Vol. 4
“Bocat” – Guy Gerber ft. Albertina Though Guy Gerber has been quiet on the release front in 2021, he’s ending the year with the smashing Bocat EP. The titular track crafts intoxicating energy through deep, sustained keys, fierce guitar licks, and electric vocals by Albertina. “I Don’t Wanna Leave” (Innellea remix) – RÜFÜS DU SOL Another month, another dynamite remix from Innellea. Following his remix of Monolink’s “Under Dark,” Innellea brings his magic touch to RÜFÜS DU SOL’s soulful “I Don’t Wanna Leave.” Though some of the wistfulness of the original is intact, the energy is raised to the roof with rumbling bass and a menacing lead. “California Dreamin’” (Vintage Culture remix) – Chris Lorenzo “Chris Lorenzo’s new track ‘California Dreamin’’ is on fir...
