***SOMA RECORDS*** SILICONE SOUL DUST BALLAD II
artists: Silicone Soul
title: Dust Ballad II (Remixes)
label: Soma Records
cat #: Soma265
release date: 15th June 2009
Silicone Soul return with this their first single from the upcoming, self titled album. Craig & Graeme have really gone to town on this first release, presenting a monumental package of remixes for.... Dust Ballad II.
The Original plunges southward, generating a pressure cooker of deep pulsed tones and steamy pads. Alleviating tension with arhythmic melodic tones. There is little chance that dust will settle during this sublime after hours cut.
First up on remixes is the Swiss maestro Ripperton. Currently doing the damage with his remix of Stimming's 'The Kiss', here he injects some tech-tinged beats into the original, whilst using the strings to build an intense drama, as only Ripperton can. Killer Dub!
Next up are the hot paris based duo of Joan Coates and Adrien de Maublanc, otherwise known as Masomenos. Stripping things back, they take on a relentless ride of low slung groovy house, dropping delicate vocals to amazing effect.
Time to roll out the guns. The Jet Project step jungle style, with their menagerie of drums. Overflowing with funk, their mix is gonna be a big BIG favourite with many.
Rounding off the package and riding high off the back of his current Darkroom Dubs release 'See My Eyes', alongside Virginia, is Marc Poppcke, one of the brightest talents coming out of Germany right now. His mix is a powerful, atmospheric delight, that proves equally strong in the darkest of basements to the biggest of mainrooms. Listen for the bell!!
A simply awesome package of mixes, and sign that the Silicone Soul boys have their fingers firmly on the pulse... Oh and by the way, i've seen what they have lined up too... watch this space!!
Enjoy!
