Looking Back Has Andy Tau Looking Ahead

The New Year is off to a blast of a start with several impressive new tracks hitting the club floors. One of the best is Andy Tau’s bold track Looking Back, which is given an even stronger remix treatment by Nhato. Looking Back (Nhato Remix) delivers right out of the gate with a driving bass-line that twists with ascending and descending waves of melody and then punches out a bass bomb that drops on you just 35 seconds in. From that point on, Looking Back (Nhato Remix) does just the opposite of what the title implies. There’s no looking back as competing bass beat waves dissolve into soft melodic piano notes. But don’t be fooled, the melodic interlude quickly and assuredly rises up to beckon the bass back onto the stage. Without ever losing momentum, bass and piano come together to build into an explosion of sound that is sure to have every club floor shaking. Looking Back (Nhato Remix) drives its point home without ever looking back.  A surefire winner from Andy Tau, now out on Infrasonic.

Abstract Vision and Elite Electronics’ Latest, Never Forget, Hits the Mark All Around

The newest release from the duo Abstract Vision and Elite Electronic, Never Forget is not only a great effort, but with three well-done and independent sounding remixes in addition to the Original Mix, there’s  a remix for just about everyone. My personal fav is the Store N Forward Remix. This is the mix for the clubs. The hard-driving bass sound zip-morphs into a nicely melodic flow that is both warming and energetic. The energy builds slowly to several got-to-get-you-moving dance plateaus before rising to a crescendo that just about leaves you breathless, only to slowly drop you down and back up again. The Store N Forward Remix has just the right amount of ups and downs coupled with an amazingly beautiful trance melodic sound to bring the crowds at the club to their feet and still leave them some energy to spare. I predict this one will be very big for Abstract Vision and Elite Electronic.
