Get ready for the next single from 19-year-old Daphne Rose titled "Through The Night." Record pools in the U.S. were recently serviced three mixes of "Through The Night." There will also be a release on Ultimix . The CD and digital downloads will be available soon for commercial purchase. Daphne's debut single was "All I Ever Wanted" and featured nine remixes as well as an acapella. The single was produced by recording legend Tom Morris and Carl Maduri (resume includes production on "The Morning After" and "Play That Funky Music").


The premiere mix is from Mr. Mig. The "Mr. Mig Extended Mix" is tight and sophisticated ? it's balanced and really a perfect match with Daphne's vocals. It's also very robust and rich ? all of the different layers really add to the depth of the mix. I love the piano right before the first verse starts ? genius ? really sets the scene for the first verse. There are three songs that came to mind when I listen to Mr. Mig's mix.

The first was Madonnna's "Impressive Instant" - the beginning beats reminded me of her song. There's an instrument that reminded me of the Josh Harris mix for The Killer's "Somebody Told Me" and also there's kind of a retro feel with another instrument that really brought back memories of "Insomnia" by Faithless from the mid-90s.

The "FRONT Club Mix" is a higher tempo compared to Mr. Mig's mix with more of a trance feel - I would definitely classify the mix as vocal trance. "FRONT" is really Russian producer Pavel Popov. The "DJ Volume Extended Mix" is more downtempo and laid-back feeling compared to the "FRONT Club Mix" and the "Mr.

Mig Extended Mix." DJ Volume provides a fun breakbeat mix with a funky bassline. He did an excellent job with the mix and the breathing elements sprinkled throughout add some wonderful texture to the mix.

The "Fink Radio Edit," remixed by Brian Fink, also includes a deep bass line providing an ethereal feel in part due to some string and synths reminiscent of Barry White's smooth jazz song "Love's Theme." Daphne is completing work on her first album and plans on touring later this year.
