Niki B & Christian EFFE - Eyes / Lost

  • Share
  • Niki B & Christian EFFE return after a pretty nice release on SAW to deliver a double disc effort on the very nice Greek based label, Swift Records. The Vocal Mix of Eyes is first up, and it is a pretty solid dark progressive type number. The beats chug along quite nicely around a pretty deep and dark mood created by some eerie effects and sounds. The vocal for me isn’t as strong as it could be, however it does work quite nicely with the arpeggiated baseline. The Dub Mix of Eyes for me is the better of the two as it really focuses on the mood of the track, using a very deep baseline to drive it along quite nicely. Thankfully they have done more then stripped the vocal in this mix, making improvements in the overall musical aspects of the vocal. First up on the 2nd disc is the Deep Mix of Lost, and as the name suggests this track flows along quite smoothly for the most part, relying on the nice percussive elements and deep sounds and atmospheric elements to do the damage. Unfortunately for me it just lacks the strength to do much damage. The Groovy Mix of Lost for me is a bit misleading as it really does lack a big groove aspect. The track, however, is a little bit more upbeat then the mix on the a-side, using some crisper beats and some sharp synth stabs. Not a bad release from Swift but it perhaps lacks the cutting edge that the label often has in its releases.
