- If you like your progressive house with an edge of trance then this origional mix is for you. The track has a medium bass line with a fairly strong hi-hat kick. Layered over this are some pretty nice trancey sounding synths. One thing that surprised me a little was it seemed to be lacking a big epic breakdown which, I was expecting when track began. While I will admit it is not really my style, the origional euphoric style mix of Rising Rhythm's 'Skydive' just didnt stand out enough.
Inkfish have done 2 remix’s of this track and both I feel are much stronger than the original. Remix 1 has a very nice bass line, and a similar hi-hat kick to the original mix. Layered over the top is a robotic sounding beat that comes in on every fourth beat that starts around the 2-minute mark. It has a much slower build-up than the original but would be a great track towards the end of a more progressive style set. Compared to the original mix this track has much more of a sense of building up and of going somewhere and has a nice dark floating breakdown.
The second Inkfish remix (is my pick of the litter) and has a different bass line to the other remixs. It is a sharper and crisper bass sound, which has a great tribal sound about it. It is no way as heavy as the first mix and has a nice breakdown like the other remix, but rather than its dark floating style, all the sounds are stripped right back to there basic minimal elements. And to these elements a muffled vocal has been added. The short sample is repeated but what is being said cannot be understood. This is the slowest track of them and would be great track to build from.
Overall its a nice piece of vinyl. Something that would be good in your collection and could be used on various occasions, but have a listen to it and see for yourself as my style just that little bit more toward the progressive edge of things.
