Coolio vs Rico Bernasconi & Kylian Mash - Gangstas Paradise 2k11 (Kylian Mash & Tim Resler Video Remix)
CAPP Records, in association with Starshit Recordings (Germany) and Subside Records (Italy), is pleased to bring one of the most surprising new releases of 2011—Coolio vs. Rico Bernasconi & Kylian Mash with Gangsta's Paradise 2K11.
This flawless melding of hip-hop and house is like nothing you've heard before in dance music, with Coolio re-recording his own worldwide hit—the one that turned him into the global megastar rapper he is—for a new audience, and a new decade.
One of the most recognized rap songs in the history of the genre, Gangsta's Paradise 2K11 is not a "remix" or a cover song—it's a brand-new take on a classic, by the original artist, in cooperation with one of Germany's leading dance music producers: Rico Bernasconi—fresh off his Billboard® charting hit with Vaya Con Dios, Nah Neh Nah.
How did this incredible new project come to life? Bernasconi and Coolio met while the latter was living in Cologne, Germany. Becoming fast friends, the duo recently decided to see what would happen if Gangsta's Paradise was recorded today for global dance floors. Satisfied they were onto something big, the guys next engaged a group of remixers to further interpret the track for its expected worldwide audience, ensuring that the results would suit every DJ and clubber.
Key mixes include Bernasconi himself with Max Farenthide; two mixes from Kylian Mash (who also worked with Coolio and Bernasconi on conceiving the project) along with Tim Resler; a scorching-hot "old skool" take by Sannyboi and Kwame, and a stunning Stormkiss club mix that's sure to please. Along with dubs and an array of radio edits, Gangsta's Paradise 2K11 is ready for radio, clubs and DJs of all stripes.

Rikah - Missing 2012 (PH Electro Club Remix) [DJ Vinyl Fingers Hyped Up Mix]
Rikah lends her sweet and sophisticated vocals to the classic global hit originally recorded in 1995 by the British duo Everything But the Girl—Missing.
Originally recorded as a mellow pop song, it was the legendary Todd Terry who took the original vocals and remixed it for clubs, turning into a worldwide dance hit of the era.
Now, CAPP Records and Rikah revisit the track. More than just a simple cover treatment, CAPP reinterprets the track for todays audiences, bringing a team of some of the worlds leading dance music producers to the project, and taking the song into fresh, new directions.
Global superstar PH Electro (Paul Hutsch) kicks-off the single, while Phun & Key and the incredible Tale & Dutch bring us club-friendly versions. Oscar Salguero (who has co-written
with Rikah some of her past releases) adds his take, while CAPPs own Steely M. & Cary August keep it mainstream. Peter Agyagos goes trance, while Vanilla Kiss vs. Phillerz as well as the legendar y Crystal Lake both go hands-up techno with the track. Theres even a strong dubstep version from Twister!
Canadian-born Rikah was raised by a rock-and-roll family in Toronto, where she joined her family touring virtually everywhere over the years. In 2006, Rikah wound-up in Las Vegas, where submerged in the rave scene, she met CAPP Records Cary August, and found her passion singing atop phenominal house, techno and trance beats.
Currently calling Maui, Hawaii home, Rikah is still going strong. A breath of fresh air in a crowded community of dance vocalists, she brings it all to the table... Smooth, silky, sexy vocals... A live presence that is hypnotic, mesmerizing, and memorable... She even has serious songwriting chops that shes brought to bear on previous releases.")
