Veteran Rotterdam DJ/producer René Amesz has been lighting up dance floors for years with his unique style of hard-hitting, booty-shaking house. After crafting a slew of remixes for Danny Tenaglia, Tom Stephan and D. Ramirez and issuing tracks on Little Mountain Recordings, Nu Republic and his own imprint 25 Hertz, Amesz’s latest and greatest, the Rock With Me EP, is out now on Laidback Luke’s Mixmash Records.
“It’s all about ‘Rock With Me’ the original,” Amesz tells us. “I tried to keep it funky, rough and different. It rocks floors everywhere I play it so I’m a happy man. Luke’s always been a big inspiration for me, especially back in the days when he was also doing techno. [I had] such a strong attraction to do something for Mixmash then although my sound is different to what’s usually being released on it. It’s cool to see how my sound can mix up with totally different releases from other artists on the label.”
Currently making the rounds supporting the new EP, Amesz created a Big Shot Guest Mix that’s a perfect complement to his latest release. “This mix indicates what I’m up for this year and the forthcoming period,” describes Amesz. “With tracks from Shlomi Aber, Hot Since 82 and Mendo, the mood for 2013 is set to be funky and sexy…..ingredients that’ll always win!”
