- Sentient Audio Collective is the grouping of likeminded producers,Dj's and musicians with the expressed goal of influencing us through sound and so far over the last 12 months they have lived up to that vision,putting out exciting music from names such as Feralcode,Jacob Todd,Deep Mariano and their current release Bringing the dawn from the tag team of label bosses Michael Lanning and Chris Conner aka Brahma which also got the once over from Micah.
The Lost Dream comes as their 16th instalment, a track that originally came about as the result of a free sample pack being made available to download from their website.Clubbervision made one of the earliest submissions which immediately drew attention and here we see a newly refreshed take from the Spanish duo packing some serious broken grooves. From the start a chunky mix of breaks lay down a forceful rhythm while delayed vocal samples and breathy sounds lead into a murmuring bassline before dropping back with the addition of sublime chords and development of the vocal.While this goes on dreamy melodies hit off each other creating an organic flow throughout with some help from a sublime riff. The production is crisp and neat,conveying the growing ablities of this teaming of Daniel Ferreira and Jorge García.
The retake comes in the form of a Darioef remix ,notching up the pace to something bordering on trance but without a trace of cheese.Parts of the original melodies are reworked around a pounding mix of druggy bassline and beats,keeping it at peaktime with a breakdown that first takes it right down before blossoming out once more . Quite tasty.
