- Next up on Fade Records is a rare double pack. The artist at the helm is Motive and they call on the help of Abagale Fischer to lend her vocals to their cause to this release called A.B.E. The double pack features remixes from the likes of Grayarea and Lovesky.
First up is the Grayarea Ulterior Remix. Grayarea have been in a bit of form lately, especially with their ‘Gravity’ single on Hope doing good things. They now appear on the fade label and turn in a pretty solid remix here. This mix comes in at a good solid pace with driving beats emphasised by a deep gritty baseline. Grayarea have a good ability to work with vocals in their production as shown in the past, and they make good use of the vocals here. Very much like ‘Gravity’, the Grayarea lads have turned this into a bit of a progressive peak time Monster, and the result is very pleasing.
On the flip is the Mototype Dub, and this mix turns he track into a dark twisted breakbeat extravaganza. The beats are nicely paced with plenty of energy while the vocals interact nicely with the musical elements. Deep chunky baselines seem to rumble at the helm of the track giving it the sinister vibe it has throughout.
Grayarea’s Ulterior Dub again features many similar elements from their remix but this time the vocals are stripped away, however, they are not entirely absent. Snippets and cuts from the vocals are used quite nicely here, as they blend into the beats quite effortlessly, and as such work extremely well. The track builds nicely, taking off deep into the track with good intensity, and it again works very well.
Last but not least is the Lovesky Remix, and they deliver quite a unique remix fro this package. Using delicate percussion, the beats flow quite nicely alongside uniquely cut vocals. The baselines ride deep in the track, subconsciously giving it a good flow and groove, and the melodies late in the track help give it a good warm vibe.
A pretty good release here for the Fade crew, with 4 pretty good remixes on offer of this very interesting track. The vocals especially give the remixes plenty of interesting moments making this release worth a good look.
