- US based label Fade return to action with a remix package of Badhatu, a production from the combined talents of Dan Morris & Shylock. Already seeing airplay from John Digweed on his Kiss FM show, it seems that Fade are on to another winner with 2 very solid remixes.
The Chris Fortier & Kolo Edit begins with some nice tribal influenced drums and some sweeping percussion effects, all before a deep groove filled baseline gives the track a real dancefloor feel. The first half sees the focus on effects and hypnotic sounds as the track takes a turn midway in with the introduction of a 3 note baseline that is quite simple but very effective. I nice edit by the duo that is sure to please those who like it deep.
The Randall Jones ‘Stairway to the Gods’ Remix follows and it is quite simply a beautiful piece of work. It begins smoothly enough with delicate flowing strings and a simple enough melody. The kick comes in shortly and gives it a flow as the production then rides effortlessly for a few moments. The breakdown midway sees some atmospheric effects take control combined with some very subtle vocal samples. It’s typical Randall Jones brilliance.
A good release here for Fade, with the Randall Jones mix the highlight; despite the Fortier & Kolo edit being quite strong in itself.
