- After Patrice Strike's recent house release 'Wonder' Skyline Records are back in 2004 with Gwill Morris latest release 'Time'.
Gwill's 'Time' is a very defined vocal progressive track. It features some nice deep progressive beats mixed in with intensive female vocals. To compliment – the 'Time' begins with some traces of electro type sounds and builds nicely as it shows its full audio self. It's not too aggressive and will work well in many fields, and as you will read below, presents itself as a great canvas for remixing.
Who better to put a proper spin on this mix than current hot progressive favourite... Luke Chable. Chable's work with this mix is nothing short of on-the-money! Like much of his production work of recent months, he has given the Gwill's original tune a new life with this very different sounding mix. Minimal melodies really give the solid bass line new depth and change the feel of the tune.
Part way through the 2nd half of this 10 and a half minute mix, Chable goes a bit nuts with the effects, moving between left and right and really takes you away from driving level of this tasty uplifting progressive dub.
You got to give this Melbournian some credit for pushing this away from the progressive norm's and sticking his neck out with this rather special and twisted mix. Sure... part of the twisted breakdown may not be danceable, but it is sure to knock over some crowds in the wee hours of the morning. When the refined bassline kicks back in, it makes the extended breakdown all that much more powerful.
Soma's Dibaba provides a much cleaner and slightly more electro angle on Gwill's vocal mix. A nice smooth eclectic house beat makes this mix much easier to listen to and gives it a much housier edge.
Gwill's Trippy Dub is a more melodic rifting mix minus the vocals. It works very nice as a mellow warming/intro or closing/outro style track giving the release further depth.
On the whole these 3 mixes compliment the original very well, and make this one very purchasable piece of vinyl for all those progressivey house inclined. Look out for work by the 'Insignificant Others' as well as Dibaba (with a 3-track EP) forthcoming on Skyline.
