2005 has proved to be an excellent year for House, with artists like Eric Prydz, Steve Angello, Sebastian Ingrosso, Silicone Soul, Phatjak, the Dahlback brothers, Tiga, and a multitude of others pushing the boundaries of both music standards and sound systems everywhere. Luke Dzierzek, a fairly new, and rather hard to spell newcomer to the scene rushed in and hit hard with his track "Timeless", and has succeeded his first track with a rather prestigious spot on Silver Planet.
Long known for its ability to keep up with the times, Silver Planet has always been on the cutting edge of EDM, with artists ranging from Mad Dogs to James Holden, Chris Salt to Ian Wilkie, Aiden Lavelle to Yunus Guvenen, etc. Their latest addition, Luke Dzierzek, is no exception to the cutting edge, and more than proves it on his first proper release.
One Day - A track heavily reminiscent of Steve Angello's work, with its short, punctuated synth stabs, and rather sudden changes of pace. Certainly a track designed for the dancefloor, Luke structured this one to be a hard-hitting, enjoyable monster of a tune with relentless energy.
Echo - If One Day was a monster, this track is Godzilla. This track isn't receiving worldwide attention because there's a big name attached in front of it, it's just that good. Hard, driving, energetic, this track has it all, and does it with enough style and flare that even the more entrenched artists are going to be trying to match the energy of this one for months. Just the right amount of bassline, fun, funky synth stabs, and the right mix of clicks and beeps set this track as one of the major dancefloor fillers this year, up there with Coburn's infamous We Interrupt This Program and Pryda's Aftermath.
Conclusion:
Luke Dzierzek is well on his way to making it into the annals of EDM lore; both for making excellent tracks, and for having the most difficult name to spell since Joni Lgungqvist and Mike Dierickx. Keep an eye on this man, he's sure to be a winner.
