reception
criticism
DJ Antoine himself says about his album:
- “I associate enormous emotional value with this album. Mad Mark and I have never worked so intensely, over 15 months on new songs. I also invested a lot of private time. Nothing was good enough until we were later satisfied with the result through a few versions and song recordings. "
However, a reviewer of the Albumcheck site gave a less positive review:
- “Somehow the music doesn't hold any particular surprises in store. The same beat runs like a red thread between the two pieces of silver. For some it's good and outgoing party music, for me it's more of a mixed work that is well-intentioned. But not very varied. "

Within just a few hours, the album was number one on the German, Austrian and Swiss iTunes album charts . In Germany, it entered the official album charts at number 6 in the first week. In Austria it jumped to number 2 and in Switzerland the album reached number one on the album charts. With the release of the remix album, the album returned to the official album charts.
Although the songs House Party , Sky Is the Limit and Perfect Day did not initially appear as single, they reached the single charts in various countries due to heavy downloads in several music portals . Crazy World and We Will Never Grow Old also hit the charts in the “Barnes & Heatcliff Remix” from the remix album thanks to frequent downloads .
Singles
Bella Vita
Bella Vita was the album's first single release. It appeared parallel to the album on January 25, 2013. The music video was released on January 24 on the official YouTube channel of the record label Kontor Records . In the video, DJ Antoine can be seen going down the stairs in a large house and going outside. He presses a button on his car key and the car appears in front of him. He gets in and steps on the accelerator and the car disappears and appears in another location. He drives through cities, mountains and deserts. Antoine sees a couple kissing, a man walking down a street with two women laughing, a boy on skis hovering over the car and many other situations. Then he goes to a lookout tower and sees the world below. At the end he reappears in front of his house with his car. He goes back to his house, has a sip of champagne, and lights a cigar . The song rose to the top of the Swiss charts and became DJ Antoine's first number one hit single. In Germany, Bella Vita rose to rank 37 and in Austria to place 22, but rose in week two to place 25 up to the highest position five. After three weeks, Bella Vita reached its highest position to date with 15th place in Germany.
Sky is the limit
After the success that Sky Is the Limit had before the single was released, the song was selected as the second single release. The shooting of the official music video began on June 8, 2013. Antoine regularly published pictures of the shoot. The video appeared for the first time on the Kontor Records YouTube channel . In the music video, DJ Antoine can be seen making several live performances. He makes part of the mouth movements to sing. At the beginning of the instrumental part, the audience is shown freaking out. There are always scene changes to other appearances or other situations. For example, he looks down on a city from a viewing platform, walks through the streets, meets friends or goes to a church. At the end you can see him again on the viewing platform. He lets two pigeons fly into the sunset. The track was released on March 15, 2013 as a CD single. The remix single was released at the end of June. Sky Is the Limit rose to 15th place in Germany, 8th in Austria and 7th in Switzerland.
All I Live For
All I Live For is the third single from the album. Like Sky Is the Limit, she also appeared as a single on March 15, 2013. The track is not from DJ Antoine, but only from his studio partner in collaboration with the FlameMakers, but he was involved as a remixer.
House party
House Party was the fourth single to be released. It was released on September 27, 2013. The American singer U-Jean played with the voice . The DJ and producer B-Case also worked as a guest musician . Even before it was released, the title hit the singles charts thanks to strong download sales. The music video was released on September 27, 2013, uploaded to Kontor.TV parallel to the single release . It more or less shows the flow of the text. Three 17-year-old boys watch two people of the same age out of the window. You follow them to a junkyard. There, look around an abandoned building and walk down a corridor until you come across a DJ Antoine statue. One of the boys touches the statue by a hole. Then the eyes open and at the onset of the first beat, the wall behind the figure breaks and the image changes inside. There the lights go on and a visual mixer appears above a table. At the same time, other scenes are shown in which, besides U-Jean, Antoine and B-Case, a lot of other teenagers can be seen. The three performers sing along to the lyrics and a young woman looks at a robot. Her eyes light up briefly and she holds out her arm to him. He uses laser beams to draw the text House Party on the skin. The three boys can also be seen. You walk through the crowd and make eye contact with different women. Then a kind of spaceship is shown. It's a flashback, because DJ Antoine, U-Jean and B-Case step out of this. The musicians are eagerly awaited and the party continues until two police officers suddenly storm in. U-Jean sings the part The cops at the door, they wanna know what's going on and we singin 'House Party . This is exactly how it is played in the music video: The police officers party with the others. The next morning the three boys are lying on the remains of the hall and think the next moment it is just a dream, but when they look at their arm, they see the words House Party .
Crazy World
Crazy World is the fifth single from the album. It was also released with remixes on December 27, 2013. The song is only sung by Craig Smart. The accompanying music video was uploaded on December 19, 2013. It is made in the rotoscopic style. Francesco de Prezzo, who had already privately created a video of this kind for Antoines and Tyla Durden's song Over the Rainbow , was the director. In this, various people, including DJ Antoine, are shown in drawings and caricatures . It should be set up “crazy”. A certain meaning therefore does not emerge from the pictures. The people shown initially drive through the streets on skateboarding, for example. To start the last chorus, they jump up and down dancing.
