Eryo – Wind City (inc. Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic, Domased Electronica, Atrium Sun) (Mistiquemusic) [MIST058]

Release date: June 15th, 2010
Progressive/Progressive

Original Mix:
Eryo is back on Mistique with his very own E.P. The original of Wind City is a swell of warm, atmospheric textures and a very heavenly melody. During the break we are hit with a nice piano lead with a breakbeat rhythm, we are then ascended back into the atmosphere with everything all coming together in one beautiful moment. Epic!

Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic Remix:
These guys are known for their very deep, melodic productions, and this is no exception. Just as dreamy as Eryo’s original, M&L and SR spice things up by adding extra emphasis on the deep, driving bassline and rhythm.

Domased Electronica Remix:
Ladislav Zajic needs no introduction to the progressive scene. With numerous massive tracks and remixes on the Mistique label, he is back here with a huge remix. His trademark deep bass driven sound is present once again and he has used Eryo’s original atmospheric textures to create a warm, spine tingling finished product.

Atrium Sun Cold Remix:
Atrium Sun never seems to disappoint. One of those producers that seems to get stronger with each and every outing. Here is no exception. A full on driving bassline and bouncy rhythm, this is a remix that never gives up. After quite a quick atmospheric breakdown, we are thrust straight back into the mayhem once a gain with a big breakdown. An impressive remix from an ever improving producer!

Providing elegant, atmospheric and rhythmic music is what the Eryo project is all about. It was created in 2006 by belarussian dj and producer Konstantin Vorontsov.

Born in 1985 in the capital of Belarus, he was interesded in different music since childhood, but listening to electronic music has broght him the most of the pleasure. Music by Markus Schulz, Elevation, Hernan Cattaneo, Dave Seaman, and other progressive djs has influenced him a lot. Along with the great impact made by such names as Radiohead, Sigur Ros, Bjork and Akira Yamaoka. Eryo was always in love with mysterious things. His mixes are full of atmosphere and complex moods and feelings, mostly lyrical and romantic though. In 2008 Eryo started making his own tracks and remixes in the Cubase sequencer. His debut release was in November 2009, it was a remix of “Invisible Children” by Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic which came out on Mistique Music and got some good support and reactions. Eryo has since signed on as an exclusive Mistique Music artist for 2010 and with many projects in the pipeline it certainly promises to be a big year for him.

Eryo’s original is a super smooth progressive production with a pumping bassline, nice soft pads, atmospheric washes and cool catchy melodic hooks. The breakdown is complimented with a nice breakbeat section that i’m sure most dancefloors will appreciate. A very positive vibe on this production as you would expect from Eryo. You might say the big guns have been called upon to remix this gem from Eryo, Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic, Domased Electronica and Atrium Sun all contribute stellar mixes to the package. The Domased Electronica mix is really the standout here with a beefed up bottom end and a very cool vocal pad, definitely epic, full of warmth and atmosphere. Michael, Levan and Stiven Rivic do a fine job as well creating an amazing progressive house – trance hybrid like only they can do! Big release for Mistique!

Michael Burns – We Will Fade (incl. Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic, Domased Electronica, Ilya Malyuev, Styller, XSector, Fretwell, Oleg Zubkov) [MIST056]

Release Date: June 5th, 2010
Breaks / Progressive

 Original Mix:
A Mistique release just wouldn’t right without a breaks track included in the package. And here the original sets the pace for the rest of the E.P. Undoubtedly, the male vocals will divide opinions, but scratch below the surface and there’s a haunting sounding bassline running throughout the track and some interesting swirly harmonic work. 

Michael & Levan and Stiven Rivic Remix:
The bosses are on top form once again for their remix. Pretty much driven by a hypnotising bassline, this has lots of cool, deep sound effects along with some trademark, warm M&L and SR melodies!

Domased Electronica Remix:
In true Domased Electronica style, this is dark! A familiar sinister sounding bassline works well with the vocals to create a really simple remix that I think could be perfect for a sunset moment. Some nice breaks action in the middle too!

Ilya Malyuev Softtech Remix:
Another remix that’s driven by an awesome bassline. Ilya’s remix builds and builds and builds before a break filled with the vocals cools the track down. It then proceeds to build up again with a smashing breakdown that will have you hitting the rewind button again and again!

Styller Remix & Dub:
Styller’s remix is as deep and dark as all the rest. With a lush piano laden break, it builds into a massive peak time prog trancer. Also some nice trickery on the vocals on this remix. It’s pretty hard to describe what Styller has done with the vocals, I guess it’s one of those where you have to listen to find out! Styller also offers a dub mix too for those who aren’t being won over by the vocals

XSector Remix:
XSector are a production team from Tblisi, Georgia. Here they offer a more trancey feel to the track, without losing any of the deep, dark layers of the original.

Fretwell Remix:
Breakbeats through and through here from Fretwell. Creating an atmosphere to make you feel like you’re flying above the stars, like the vocals state. Breathtaking harmonies and a nice swirly high pitched melody in the break.

Oleg Zubkov Remix:
Rounding off this E.P. is Oleg Zubkov and he offers up more breaks action. He uses lots effects on the beats to make the remix quite interesting and uses a really cool bassline to add chunkiness to the whole track.

Michael Burns has been producing quality electronic music since 2002. A self taught pianist and guitarist, Michael’s introduction to music began by scoring compositions for his local theatre group.

Over the years Michael has produced under various alias’ such as: Blue Haze, Panaptic, Cardboard and Gazor. His productions have been featured on some of the most high profile CD mix compilations including: Hernan Cattaneo’s Renaissance Masters Series 2, Anthony Pappa’s Balance 006 and Nick Warren’s Lima Global Underground. ‘We Will Fade’ is a huge package from Mistique with a large selection of remixes to choose from. The original mix is a classy progressive breaks track with all the Michael Burns production haalmarks that we have all come to love over the years. Warm pads, classy thought provoking melodies and an other-worldly atmosphere all combine to make this another first rate Michael Burns production. Michael, Levan and Stiven Rivic deliver a sublime deep trance interpretation in which the vocal sits perfectly over swirling melodies and atmospherics. Their mix never gets too over the top and has just the right amount of energy to make it a very classy production. Another great deep trance version is turned in by Mistique regular Domased Electronica, his mix eventually leads to a breakbeat section where the vocal works perfectly over some scattered beats before eventually rumbling back into a great deep trance groove. 2 progressive trance reworks are supplied by Slovakia’s up and coming Styller who is definitely one to watch for the remaider of this year. Lastly a prog breaks favorite from years back ‘Fretwell’ also provides a more dancefloor friendly breaks interpretation as well on an already strong package.
