There have been so many exceptional releases over the past months it can be hard to keep track of them all. One of the latest releases that has caught my attention is an uncanny collaboration between absolute rising stars who definitely deserve any attention they may get in the dance music cosmos! "MeowWow" and "08 Orbit" are no strangers making waves in the scene with collaborations such as the aural masterpiece they worked on together, "Tears In The Rain" which was released on the mighty "Perfecto Records" by dance music legend "Paul Oakenfold". This time these two have been joined by talented singer/songwriter "Miyoki". The result of their endeavors is the wonderful "Celestia" out on "Of Us Records".
We are welcomed aboard by deep, pounding basslines, a light percussion and a smooth breeze of melodic goodness. When the word "Celestia" is uttered like a faint whisper as if from a fairy tale-like being a joyous yet melodramatic dance of vocal delight floods our ever receiving ears. "Miyoki" wails on pouring out what resides deep into the chasms of her soul while an ethereal violin-like instrument joins in the dance perfectly complementing her performance, transporting us to an aerial eternal palace high above the clouds. When the leads come rushing in like a tidal wave amongst it all, our soul rejoices from the emotional rush we are exposed to by these three amazing artists.
A rare treat is the appearance of ascending hero "Danny Stubbs" assuming remix duties. Known for his formidable original productions on labels such as "Perfecto" and beyond he has also been known to deliver killer remixes as well. Danny has provided us with two versions to satisfy everyone's needs. A "Chill Out Remix" for those craving a more relaxed, blissful escape from the world and of course a dynamic remix suitable for the clubs.
"Danny Stubbs Remix": Danny has beefed up the main bassline, slightly upping the tempo while keeping the melodic assets of the tune in utter harmony. "Miyoki's" vocal is enhanced with filter effects and a slight echo giving it more of an ethereal essence, while adding a chopped vox serenade driving the emotional factor further. A playful touch is evident. The break in the track sports a return of the chopped vox serenade while celestial melodies come rushing in like the tide itself. Wonderful remix work indeed!
"Chill Out Remix": It is what one may expect by the name. Slower paced, ethereal and utterly focused on the melodic goodness and vocal brilliance. Emotional, heartfelt, magical. Made for watching the sun descend into the sea while colors of all hues fill the sky and the waters move as if in a silent mystical dance.
