Kevin Saunderson - History Elevate 2

Klaus151, Dec 27, 2007

After several months of waiting after hearing Joris Voorns remix, the vinyl hit the streets. Much debating has been caused whether he managed to do something good with his efforts or it was a waste of time and money.

To me, Joris did exactly what a remix should do - a personal take on a now longtime classic adding his own fine production skills, touch and furthermore creating a "sound of now" reflection that contrary to most productions floating around will be play- and listenable several years from now.
What strikes me as being a fine tuned sense for arrangement, is the way Voorn introduces the original lead theme with ease in the last third of the track making the euphoria complete. Rather than making the usual and oh so boring minimal build, break and then back to boredom with no changes as the beat gets reintroduced, Joris adds something extra which reemerges within the track as pure bliss.

The Samuel L. Session remix is run-off-the-mill fodder, which possibly will appeal to just as lame djs as this remix and ketamine victims on the dancefloor.
