Responsible for three Ibiza anthems (The Soulshaker, Flashback and Paradiso Del Mundo) it's summer time and indeed that time for another Max Linen production. Featuring Luciana of Bodyrox fame on vocals and a plethora of electro tinged remixes to compliment the song, its shaping up to be a biggie.

Nick Bridges from Bodyrox provides what at first seems like a slow starter, with a fairly sparse and minimal arrangement, it gradually kicks in and builds up the elements and the vocal, before launching into one hell of a deep jarring bass that's very highly addictive. The breakdown itself is really deep and uses the full vocal, then just when its drops down, a massive surge of energy and high drive comes out and hits you and it's oh so good.

Sandy Vee has a slick as can be cutting electro house infusion of a mix, with a really powerful bass that just makes you want to dance, combined with the vocal it's a winner straight from the start. Constant nagging sounds and building up in the backing really develops the flow and keeps it right up there with a deep almost haunting sound at times jam packed with energy for the floor.

Thomas Schwartz whose recent smash "Jupiter Calling" sets the standard for his mix, and in contrast to the other mixes, a far more progressive take on things sets the tone. Using the vocal a lot and making a "floaty" journey throughout his mix it has a subtle house meets modern progressive edge/mood.

Dante Lowe produces an electronic version with a catchy drum loop that's got a slight punkish feeling to it. He uses a lot of the vocal and again picks up on a deep bass with some clever fills that punch the mood along more. Daniel Forbes makes an almost retro inspired mix which uses a very nice bass and happy up for it approach. A long vocal breakdown with plenty of happy energy and piano makes it the funky winner and has bags of uplifting blended sounds that work well for a different take on matters.
