Lunar One
It's hard to believe that it's almost a year to the day since Facade dropped his last bombshell entitled 'Drop Sequence' on Upbeat, with superb remixes from Evasive and Fabrik Europa. After gaining support on that package from Paul Oakenfold, Stoneface & Terminal, Andy Moor, M.I.K.E, Manuel le Saux and Pedro del Mar, we are very happy to bring you his new release named 'Lunar One', which is every bit as good as expected and then some. Now co-hosting the monthly 'Escapism' show on Sense FM, he has recently remixed the new vocal combination from Peter Dafnous feat. Sasja on Good Stuff and his further tracks are lined up for release in the coming months on Redux, Branded and MPFS.
Kicking things off, the classic mix uses fast paced and pulsing basses combined with sweeping synths to create an atmospheric and punchy original. The plucky echoing melody gives it an emotional flavour which soars through a wicked breakbeat section on into a euphoric crescendo and finally drops to morph into a pounding kick and bass driven monster, all underpinned by a mouth-watering set of effects and crisp percussion.
For the first remix, South Africa's Daniel Loubscher makes his debut on Upbeat. With a string of hits behind him, Daniel has showcased his latest sounds on Communicate, Redux, Nukleuz and Shah among others. With a selection of elements which can only be described as audio heaven, Daniel uses a beautifully engineered breakdown and spine-tingling combination of pads and synth which build to deliver a full intensity wave of classic hands in the air perfection.
Topping things off for us with the second remix is Slovakian producer Tibor Tomecko, better known as ReOrder. With his previous signings to some of the worlds best known trance labels including Bonzai and Baroque, his remix is perfectly in keeping with his recent tracks which have been supported by Ferry Corsten, Aly & Fila, Solarstone, Bobina and many others. The ReOrder style is in full effect here, with strong key changes and powerful leads which bring a melodic richness and warmth to the original elements.
