Maxim Saidashev, Egor Belov & Konstantin Lyubimov make up Luckystars, a unique and creative band whose tracks are revolutionising the Russian electronic scene and are making waves in Europe and beyond.  All three are successful producers in their own right so when they get in the studio together the results are devastating.  Their fresh approach to producing distinguishes their music from the mass of listless music boring clubbers across the globe - each and every track is saturated with unrestrained energy, intelligent harmonies and an accumulation of emotions.  Most recently Luckystars have seen releases on the UK's ever impressive Urbantorque imprint and Germany's Conya.

The original mix of ‘Swimming Under The Ice’ is a Spiritcatcher-esqe slice of deep melodic house; crisp snappy beats underpin lush pads and intricate keys and the track rumbles ever upwards towards electronic bliss.

The first remix is a real treat as two of Vancouver's house legends team up for a deeper than deep rework.  Jay Tripwire needs very little introduction, with well over 100 releases and a Fabric CD to his name he is one of the most respected producers of the last decade, while Gavin Froome has been making waves in the deep house scene for many years too, most notably for his releases and album on Nordic Trax.  Jay and Gavin serve up a punching deep house cut; devastating beats, percussion and a super deep bassline pave the way for pads taken from the original mix and a freshly added spoken vocal.

With a string of releases due imminently on labels including Robsoul, S-Sens and Head Tunes, Pete Dafeet is fast becoming one of the UKs most sought after deep house producers.  His Bathtime Scrub mix features a deep bouncing bass combined with subtle acid squelches and a breakdown drawing on the original's chords.  The track climaxes with superbly crafted hi hats giving the rework real dancefloor drive with a heavy dose of swing.
