Up and Comers: Suspect 44

Suspect 44 is an up and coming trio from the United States and Netherlands who have bursted onto the scene with their successful hits on the Anjunadeep mix compilations. Their most recent release, “Neon Feel,” which was debuted by Jaytech at TATW 400 a year ago, proved to be the most popular single according to iTunes off the Anjunadeep 04 compilation. While they initially chose to conceal their identities, it has been revealed that Suspect 44 consists of Luke Shipstad, Hoz Sabirr, and Zhiar Mahmoud. Together they are an innovative group that strive to create unique and refreshing tunes without the confinement to any one genre. Suspect 44 claim that they “make things that make your ears feel good,” and we have yet to be let down by their productions. With new original mixes soon to come and remixes for Armada and Jaytech, it’s unlikely that anything will be stopping Suspect 44 from improving on their breakout year.

Suspect 44 – Neon Feel (Original Mix)

A lot is left unknown when it comes to Suspect 44 who have done a good job of concealing their identities but they’ve become a highly sought after commodity after their amazing productions that have been featured on Above & Beyond’s TATW and Anjunadeep mix compilations. After tons of airplay and buzz all over forums, their highly anticipated single “Neon Feel” is finally out on Beatport. This is a refreshing new production with disco-synths and melodic piano melodies that make for a track with an ’80s feel and that Summer vibe. The Anjuna sublabel, Anjunadeep has been on fire recently putting out tracks that perfectly contrast the big room trance sound of its parent label with progressive trance and house. This is one of my favorite tracks featured on TATW and the Anjunadeep mix compilation. Be sure to check out the Answer 42 remix as well!
