Transition 306
This week there's a special Structures mini-mix ahead of Monday's official release, plus an equally extra special guest mix from Argentina's finest who has a new Renaissance Masters release. Proof that 2010 is indeed a vintage year for music.
Transitions 306 celebrates the release of John’s new Structures project. As ever, the music here has all been finely crafted, embracing that iconic Bedrock sound & musical ethos.
The producers / remixers are a ‘who's who’ of electronic artists at the top of their game. There's a fine balance of the big names extending their impressive body of work & the big producers of tomorrow, brought to you today. All by a label that is always forward thinking with an eye on a future that will continue to take the scene forward, breaking new ground & really pushing the boundaries.
These last two years have been simply massive for Bedrock, with a relentless stream of top notch & vibrant releases. This music has been really galvanised via the Bedrock11 release, which has now evolved into the impressive ‘Structures’ package.
Berlin's Vincenzo, one of the Kruse family, takes time out from Poker Flat to provide a pulsating tech-house remix of Mutant Clan, before Wiretappeur’s expansive take on ‘Cream’.
Maher’s twisted interpretation of ‘No Walls’ really mixes things up. As with all of the 'Structures' music this one has been thoroughly road-tested by John over these past few months to a great reception.
Also absolutely massive on the dance-floor is Tronic protégé Wehbba’s melodic ‘Flyertalk’ remix which really hypnotises the listener as the lush melody envelopes you. With a tremendous synergy the original was composed by Tronic label head Christian Smith. Look out for Wehbba’s ‘Full Circle’ debut album.
EDM legend Pete 'Stylus Trouble' Heller gives us a real standout remix of Madrid hot property Marc Marzenit - one of a burgeoning wave of new Spanish producers that are really taking the electronic scene forward, Marc's intricate 'Neo Galaxy' has the makings of another Diggers set staple & has already been going down a storm in the clubs.
Sandwiched in between is the fantastic Dub of 2000000 Suns. Here the original is a stripped down for an even more progressive and amped up version of the Bedrock future classic that's still driving dance-floors nuts on a global scale. 2000000 Dubs is now set to cause massive structural damage to any sound-system brave enough to play it.
John & Nick throw in a percussive take on ‘Jungle Laps’ that's brimming with energy & looks destined to take over the dance-floors of Space, Cocoon & DC10 this summer. Don't let the strummed nu-disco guitars lull you into a false sense of security - this is a monster.
We close with Barcelona’s Manel Ruiz (aka Sistema) and an inspired & experimental breakbeat vs breakneck remix of Guy J’s seminal work. Sistema is all about melody, and cleverly uses that iconic hook to create a mini modern symphony.
