SOURCE +LABEL:SOLARIS RECORDINGS'Long Drive Home' is one of most beautiful tracks on Solarstone's 'Electronic Architecture' CD, unsurprisingly as it is obviously heavily influenced by the classic 'Solarstone' sound with its haunting guitar melodies and evocative chord progressions. Harley himself hails from Victoria, Australia and this is his debut release. The Original mix is a smooth fairly deep progressive trance affair with a floor shaking sub bass. The Majera remix however (another Aussie producer!) cranks things up to peak time trance levels. Although the pace is modest (131bpm) the track has all the energy of a much faster record, and works incredibly well on a big system, as proven by Solarstone at Defcon in Melbourne in February 2009, to 4000 overheating Aussie clubbers.
SOURCE + LABEL: ANJUNABEATSAt the recent International Music Summit (IMS) in Ibiza, Above & Beyond were given the challenge of remixing Dirty Vegas' IMS Anthem in just 24 Hours, including some elements live in front of conference delegates. Jono from Above & Beyond said: "We were attracted by the idea of putting ourselves under that kind of time pressure, and the fact we had to showcase the mix in front of the industry only added to the challenge. Hopefully we were able to give people an insight into Above & Beyond's studio methodology."
The single will now see a full release on Toolroom Records, with a percentage of the proceeds going to the Dance4Life charity.
