- Luke Chable, Luke Chable, how are you able to continue this mad streak? Only two years in the limelight and you’ve has taken the underground by storm. Building a portfolio that is rivaling even the best in the business. Still in your mid-20’s, you are prime to continue your streak of quality hits. If you are not at your peak, then I’m scared (and excited) to see how far you can go. Returning to your old alias, Quest has always brought out your deeper and heavier sound. With your prior remix for Powerplant, “The Shepherd” retains all the magic that was implemented for “Blame.” “The Shepherd” is an interesting title to the track (wonder what its significance is?) So my question is how many anthems can you keep creating?
The Original Mix is simply DEEP. Luke creates an anti-climatic anthem that still fills the room Chable-style. Instead of big-room breaks or headphone progressive, Luke’s mindstorm warps the audience into the world of cinematic technology. Combining heavy drums with a chunky bassline over lush melodies, this beast turns out to be a beauty in disguise. With the added key changes and chords building alongside a slightly techy percussion until the main melody is release, the track sounds quite sexy. Once there you find bliss and heaven; nothing short of a journey through mind and soul. All the elements of a masterpiece; this is by far the best single track I’ve heard by Luke ever!
The other-side sees the Heavy Dub dropping a more blurry melody and deep bassline over the dense beats while taking a more filthy and gritty path. Pushing along a very edgy side, the drums take center stage. Key changes are more noticeable with the drums as the track dives darker than its predecessor. Everything is placed underneath and the sounds feel more upside down. Very cool.
You always wonder when a producer pumps out a certain amount of original material and remixes during a short period of time that he or she is stretching his or her ability over the production floor too thin. That most of the sounds will be too familiar and most of the tracks will simply be reinterpretations of past successes. I can safety say that Luke Chable is an anomaly. Combining his fast pace production skills and insane amount of creativity, he is redefining the old equation of quality against quantity.
