Nicky Zimmer Records Cat.-No.: NZR 006 MAKS LAMAR feat. ZAMBRANO "Ahora" Lovers of World Music and Middle Eastern beats will love South American producer Maks Lamar's new track "Ahora". Soon to be released on German imprint Nicky Zimmer Records, this 5 track single is a delightful progressive house/trance landmine set to explode worldwide with it's uplifting and summery vibe. All of the mixes benefit from a very commercial approach including a reserved but effective guitar solo and a sound that evokes the best of 80's synth pop merged with contemporary production values. Maks Lamar's original mix maintains the strongest elements of the Middle Eastern groove; it is exotic, catchy and intoxicating. Turkish superstar DJ Tarkan's xtended mix is the perfect introduction to the upcoming South America summer. His trance induced version uses celestial keys and bright synths that really highlight the vocals and should bring smiles and raised fists to dancefloors all over the planet. There is nothing wrong with giving djs and radio stations more options for how to present a record. A new direction for Nicky Zimmer and a hit for Maks Lamar!!!
