You'll Never Change (The World)

No you won't. But you can make it a better place if you're a DJ and you spread the word : this new track by "The Belivers" - never heard about them either - was remixed by Oliver Koletzki and it promises to be HUGE.

Released on an italian 12" out on Oxyd Records as the "Black Part" of a remix collection, the song features vocals by Chelonis R. Jones and in the hands of Koletzki, it simply KILLS. The original is a bit of cheesy commercial house, with a trance-like break that builds up, reminiscent of Roger Sanchez' "Another Chance" and its Toto sample repeated ad nauseam.

Chelonis R. Jones seems to be THE vocalist to feature these days, and it looks like we won't stop hearing (from) him any time soon. It took him a long time to be noticed (the "One + One" 12" was released on Get Physical in... 2002 !) but he definitly is here to stay.

The other remix proposed on the "Black Part" was made by Dave Seaman, and is even more cheesy than the original if that's possible. This "Group Therapy Remix" smells like progressive trance with pads...

It really is the Koletzki remix that elevates this track to a status worth mentioning. This guy is slowly but steadily rising, being relatively new to the electro-house scene. He has recently remixed The Egg's "Wall" to good effect, has remixed Huntemann's "Radio" and also works under the "Parker Frisby" moniker. His sound is deep, minimal but effective, and his killer basslines are what sets him apart.



Oliver's tracks are featured on some nice mixes these days; he's on Ajax's InTheMix 5, on Kiki's Boogy Bytes, and on Starski & Tonic's fast-growing referencial Culture Club Vol.4. Expect the guy to be in your face for a couple more hits, and enjoy, as you'll get to know him on the dancefloor a lot in the near future.

Chelonis R. Jones owns chelonis.com - how lucky is he that the domain name didn't already belong to any of the world's other famous Chelonisses !

When I heard the original mix of "You'll Never Change (The World)", I thought: 'Well, why the big fuss over this song? It Sucks!'. Koletzki just manages to lift the song up and bring it out of its abysmal mediocrity. I'm not quite sold on it yet, but I think I will be soon.

As far as Chelonis goes, two words: "Black Sabrina". Pure dance floor magic, an essential song that wouldn't be the same without our dear Mr. Jones.
