Will Hutcheson - Next To You (Dan De Leon Extreme Circuit Mix)
Will Hutcheson's latest single, "Next To You (Dan De Leon Extreme Circuit Mix)," emerges as a hidden gem in the Latin House scene, delivering a potent blend of infectious rhythms and vibrant energy. Released under Valiant Horizon in September, this track deserves attention for its undeniable appeal and the masterful remix treatment it receives from the Billboard Number 1 remixer, Dan De Leon.
"Next To You" stands out with its dynamic fusion of hard string stabs and Brazilian samba drums, creating an immersive sonic landscape that transports listeners straight to the heart of a carnival. The Latin House genre thrives on its ability to evoke the spirit of celebration and movement, and this track does not disappoint in delivering a high-octane ride that captivates from start to finish.
Dan De Leon's Extreme Circuit Mix takes this already standout track to new heights, infusing it with elements of Hi-NRG, a genre integral to the origins of House music. The remix seamlessly merges classic influences with contemporary Latin and tech House elements, resulting in a main floor banger that demands attention. The skillful blending of these diverse musical elements showcases Dan De Leon's prowess as a remixer and his ability to breathe new life into tracks.
The comparison of "Next To You" (Extreme Circuit Mix) to classics like Tony Touch's "Apaga La Luz" and George Morel's "Officer Where’s Your Brother" is not made lightly. It speaks to the track's potential to become a timeless addition to any collection, standing shoulder to shoulder with iconic Latin House anthems. The seamless integration of cultural influences and dancefloor-ready beats is a testament to the track's universal appeal.
Dan De Leon's role as a powerhouse in the industry, with PUMP RECORDS serving as a go-to label, adds another layer of credibility to this remix. His involvement in major gay events and his partnership with LA's Artificial People, along with a longstanding relationship with Ceasar’s Entertainment Resorts, further underscores his influence and expertise in curating exceptional dance music experiences.
