Not long ago I featured a review for a release which went by the name of "Celestia". This release did very well and was supported heavily by the who's who of the dance music scene! An added bonus was the exquisite set of remixes provided by none other than English phenomenal producer "Danny Stubbs". The recipe for success was most certainly evident. It seems that the creators of the tune decided that it was time for yet another joined collaboration and here we are! "08 Orbit" has teamed up once again with "MeowWow" for another stellar release that just came out on "Elevation London", a relatively new and quite promising label. "Now Would Be The Time" is the name of the track, which comes with an added surprise. "Danny Stubbs" is along for the ride once again!
Deep, ominous and thumping beats reach our ever welcoming ears from the very first moments of play. All the elements are conjured up in perfect harmony, creating a bleak, autumn like atmosphere. One can only envision the rustling of dead crumpled leaves carried by the brief gusts of wind. Melancholic female vocals arrive in due time courtesy of the vocalist who utterly shines in her performance, adding depth, magnitude and a sense of deep rooted feelings longing to be exposed. Progressive grooves appear highlighted by addictive led-like melodies. A rush like no other occurs within the track as her vocals resonate deep within us all. Grasp the opportunity and try your hand at the table of life. If you are thinking of that special someone, now would be the time to act! An ecstatic, marvelous, unique and wonderful progressive vocal offering!
When a track is this good could anything be done to alter or enhance its perfection? "Danny Stubbs" thinks so, supplying his very own rendition of the tune which he dubbed the "Danny Stubbs Horizon Mix". He starts the show with a tribal drum affair which includes infused basslines and his very own melodic aural patterns to get things rolling. The vocals match the reforged atmosphere adding the "chill factor" with a mighty clever usage of chopped female vox and reverse vocal effects, making it further haunting, enchanting and simply mesmerizing. The original elements are properly made use of thus complementing the original perfectly. The undeniable rush constructed by the chopped vox serenade and frenetic buildups is one of a kind.
Now would be the time to get your hands on this release! It needs to be in everyone's DJ case or playlist alike! "MeowWow" and "08 Orbit" score once more!
