Tripswitch - Strange Parallels Remixes (Section Records)
OUT NOW !!!!!
Section Records slams into 2011 with it's first single release, an EP of stunning remixes of “Strange Parallels”, one of Tripswitch aka Nick Brennan's most iconic productions to date. Nick gained notoriety with his 2005 album “Circuit Breaker” on Youth's label Dragonfly Records, which received rave reviews (including a 4* review in DJ Mag and praise from Anoushka Shankar in the New York Times), and attracted compilation inclusions from Jose Padilla, Nick Warren, Claude Challe, DJ Ravin and Pathaan.
Originally featuring on Nick Warren's GU30 – Paris compilation on Global Underground, the track received numerous requests for a single release, and after inclusion in the warmly-received 2nd Tripswitch long-player “Geometry” (the first release on Nick Brennan's own label Section Records), the track gets a much-anticipated airing of its own with a selection of killer remixes spanning several genres.
The mixes
Remix 1 is from Prog-meister Purple and godfather of electro-house Tim Healey, whose slamming mix gives Dadalife and Dirtyloud a good run for their money. Canadian legends Shiloh give the track the progressive house treatment on Remix 2, creating a melodic journey pulled along by pristine beats and pulsating sub-bass with a breakdown of epic proportions. Remix 3 showcases upcoming Japanese producer Aurtas, Section Records's first signing, who shows his skill with this progressive floor-filler combining a hi-def bassline with classic Way Out West-style progressions which keep surprising you right to the end. Nick Tripswitch's alter-ego Codemonkey brings the track into atmospheric dubstep territory for Remix 4, where a rumbling bassline combines with intricate beats and spacious atmospherics to create a powerful and evocative journey to the dark side. For Remix 5, Russian producers Koan produce a euphoric mid-tempo trance mix powered by driving beats and soaring synth leads which gives a firm nod back to the glory days of trance music while keeping the sound current. Cape Town-based Indidginus takes us in an old-school psy-trance direction for Remix 6, southern hemisphere-style, and on Remix 7 Scorb collaborators ODT give us a cheeky, full-powered psytrance mix with driving 303 lines and a dark, brooding ending. The package is rounded off by the original Tripswitch mix, combining intricate, multi-layered beats, ethereal pads, smooth sub bass, shoegaze guitar washes and a truly epic and memorable guitar melody.
