Album Review: Mit Ér by DJ Cece feat Moncsy – A Trip Down Hungary’s Electronic Rabbit Hole
Alright, buckle up, because we’re diving into Mit Ér, the 2008 gem from DJ Cece and Moncsy that’s equal parts House banger and Trance fever dream. Released under the mysterious-sounding “Not On Label” in Hungary, this album is basically a remix playground for one killer track—yes, you guessed it, "Mit Ér?"—with more versions than your ex’s excuses. But hey, don’t let the lack of originality in naming fool ya; these tracks slap harder than a Hungarian goulash on a cold winter night.
First off, let’s talk about "Mit Ér? (Dj. Magic Remix)". This bad boy hits like an energy drink spiked with glitter—it’s flashy, chaotic, and kinda addictive. The beat builds so smoothly you almost forget you're listening to something made in 2008 (before EDM became everyone’s guilty pleasure). What sticks out here isn’t just the thumping bassline but also Szűcs Mónika’s vocals floating over the chaos like she’s serenading aliens at a disco party. You can tell Plasticboy didn’t phone it in as the producer either—the layers are tight, giving the whole thing a polished yet raw vibe. If I had to pick one track to blast while driving through Budapest at midnight, this would be it.
Then there’s "Mit Ér? (Italo Club Mix)", which feels like someone took a time machine back to the '80s and brought back synth magic. It’s got that retro-futuristic charm, all shimmering keys and robotic undertones. Honestly, if Daft Punk ever decided to do a collab with Kraftwerk, they’d probably end up with something close to this. There’s no way you won’t bob your head to this—it’s impossible. Like trying to resist eating the last piece of cake after dinner. Just surrender.
Now, credit where it’s due: Tajti Viktor nailed the cover art (though who knows what’s going on there—it looks like neon spaghetti exploded), and Holló Zoltán did some serious wizardry mastering this beast. Oh, and props to Czeller Balázs for wearing multiple hats—he wrote the music AND sang? That’s multitasking goals right there.
But here’s the kicker—this album isn’t perfect. Some mixes feel redundant, like hearing the same joke told seven different ways. Yet somehow, it works. Maybe it’s the sheer audacity of remixing ONE song nine times. Or maybe it’s the fact that each version brings its own flavor to the table, keeping things fresh enough to avoid total playlist fatigue.
So yeah, Mit Ér might not change your life or win any Grammys, but it’s proof that sometimes less really is more—or rather, one great idea remixed a bunch of ways can still pack a punch. And honestly? In a world full of overproduced albums desperate to sound “important,” there’s something oddly refreshing about an unapologetically fun project like this.
Final thought: If aliens landed tomorrow and asked us to explain human music, I’d hand them Mit Ér. They’d either beam us aboard their spaceship for being awesome…or blast us into oblivion for being too extra. Either way, worth it.
