Mercury feat. Robert Owens – Candlelight EP Remixes (Maxi)
Cat#: Gomma DT039
Release: 2 March 2012
One of the greatest voices in house music is back. Robert Owens. And he joined Gomma boys from Mercury on their third single Candlelight. The original version came out 2 weeks ago and already is in the bag of DJ’s such as Soul Clap, Tom Trago, Brodinski, Dimitri From Paris…
We are sure that these new remixes will cause extra damage to good dance floors around the world. Check the amazing Till von Sein and Beni versions. Gonna make the girls shout loud.
Munich newcomers Cocolores add some slightly 90ies flavor and newcomers Logo from Kitsune and Voices of Black (Wolf & Lamb Music) give it a special edge. Mercury are hot right now.
