Good mornin east coast! I've been at work for 4 hours already and I wish I could listen to music like this right now. I don't even get to listen to music at work these days and it's KILLING me. But have no fear, Michael Woods is here with a big building progressive house remix of Temper Trap's 'Science Of Fear'. Not something for the electroheads, moreso for the prog/trance clubbers.
When I read that on March 15th, Deconstruction is releasing an EP of 'The Gift' by Way Out West 2010 remixes, I had to start pulling out the vinyl. I found my original 1996 release of 'The Gift' and of course couldn't stop there. Anyone wanna do an old skool progressive party?
"Kicking off the package is Way Out West’s own 2010 remix. Toughening up the original break based drums and adding a few new synth lines is all WOW needed to do to breath a second life in their ubiquitous track.
Gui Boratto’s remix takes the track into deep tech house territory. Gui flips the track to a straight 4/4 beat, adding some organic percussion, side chained chords and his trademark warm distorted synths to create a truly euphoric groove.
Coming straight off the back of his to 2 remixes for the mighty deadmau5 (his last being Pete Tong’s Essential New Tune) Michael Woods aims straight for the main room. Stabbing synths, rolling bass lines and a huge breakdown guarantee hands will most definitely be head for the air.
Hospital Records current golden boy Logistics turns out a liquid D’n’B roller, perfectly juxtaposing narly modulating bass and clattering drums with the beautiful pads and chords of the original.
Finally to round off the package, new comers Tek-One give us a Dubstep version with a difference, using circuit bent toys to make their basslines and synth sounds, they create something completely unique to them.
Killer remixes for every genre, but what else would you expect from Decon?"(source: risingdigital.co.uk)
Seems Way Out West is definitely gearing up for a lot of touring and press with thier newest album We Love Machine. 12 tracks of quality progressive production from a pair of veterans in the electronica scene. Nick and Jody have even been nice enough to give away a freebie right on the website! Go download Sparkle for free!
I stole this image off Michael Woods' myspace page. I normally wouldn't do that, but most of the pics I found of Michael searching images made him look like a douchebag. I hope he's not a douchebag, because I like some of his housier stuff. With his remix of deadmau5's "Strobe", the "Yemba/Wobble" EP, and... a new EP "Envolver" dropping today, Woods is hot right now.
The A-side, "Envolver" is a solid Tech House track, but I favored the B-side, "Black Strip" myself.
Ready to shake off that cold weather? Wake up and stretch! That's what these new remixes of "Yemba" make me feel like. The Michael Woods remix has an awesome bassline, that sweet horn, and some great builds. Dr. Diego's mix is a little more electro with a funkier bassline. Both solid tracks, go pick 'em up on beatport.com!
