- The next release on the Secret Planet imprint, the sister label to Silver Planet that showcases the future production talent of our world, gets ready to unleash the talents of Micah, and his latest production entitled Acandavi.
First up is the Original Mix, and in a short sentence, it’s an emotive piece of beautifully constructed breakbeat. Nice delicate beats begin the production, surrounded by eerie sounds and effects. The track builds delightfully until nice baselines start shaking the foundations, foundations that are soon joined by absolutely stunning string patterns that really work brilliantly with the surrounding sounds. Once the strings come in, the track continues to change shape and build upon itself, creating a truly unique experience.
On the flip, Chris Micali turns in his remix and gets the familiar 4/4 beats back into gear. Nice chunky drums set the scene for the first half of the track, as subtle melodic patterns and smooth effects work themselves into the loops. The track hits a nice breakdown pretty late on seeing melodic overtones meets a smooth bouncy baseline that leads into the conclusion of this pretty good reworking.
I must say I quite like this release. It is not often you hear pretty uplifting records that aren’t overdone and obvious, and this record is far from that.
