Coldharbour Recordings (Armada)
Question - which track links the cities of Tallinn, Belfast and Las Vegas all together? The answer is a track that has caught the attention and captured the imagination of many Coldharbour followers since the beginning of 2010. Madis Sillamo, better known as Beat Service, had already established quite a following in the Coldharbour ranks, not least for his remix of Rex Mundi & Susana's massive 'Nothing At All' in the summer of 2009. But his collaboration with Kevin Murphy and Danny Cullen, who unite to form Tucandeo, has set pulses racing since its appearance towards the end of Disc 2 on Markus Schulz's Las Vegas '10 compilation. The name of course, is 'Waiting for the Sun'. The original fused the typical power driven Beat Service bassline, the melodic touch of Tucandeo, and built around the harmonic tones of Dutch vocalist Manon Polare. 'Waiting for the Sun' became a self-explanatory anthem throughout the winter months, particularly after the original being declared by the fans as one of the standout moments of Las Vegas '10 and on Global DJ Broadcast. When Markus travelled to Sao Paulo for the GDJB World Tour recording at the end of January, his set was highlighted by the first of two remixes available in the package. Already a featured name on Coldharbour thanks to 'Forget About Us', Austrian duo Barnes & Heatcliff worked again under their Lentos alias to provide a punchy bassline with a beautiful melodic break to leave listeners swooning, and arguably, stealing the show once again. Rounding off the package is Australian Tyson Illingworth, who under his tyDi moniker has seen his star rise rapidly since first appearing on Coldharbour with 'Russia'. He gives 'Waiting for the Sun' his typical big room feel, and became a regular player on Global DJ Broadcast throughout March. With the summer imminently upon us, 'Waiting for the Sun' has been well worth waiting for.
