In 2003, French producer Bernaille 'DJ Bool' Stephane released the marvelous Latin flavored "Each & everyday" featuring an incredible vocal by Akram Sedkaoui, a song that still sounds as fresh and uplifting as it did six year ago. Just a couple of week ago during the Winter Music Conference in Miami, brand new remixes by French producer of the moment Rocco were given to a lucky few, and they immediately created a buzz, and many call it "tune of the conference". They certainly are right as these remixes see Rocco on top of his game, adding his trademark deep and resistless yet soulful touch to the song, turning out a timeless anthem that will be played for many years to come. Two versions available, letting you choose between the groovy 'Rocco Deep Mix' and the deeper mesmerizing 'Rocco Underground Mix'. One not to be missed |
