Oleg Zubkov - New Parallels(incl Abdomen Burst, Fretwell, Retroid, Esthetique, Atrium Sun, Stereotekk) [MIST018] (Dec 1st, 2009)

This release on Mistique Music is called "New Parallels" and features nothing less than 6 remixes.

The original mix starts out with bliss synth stabs and mesmerizing pad layers that create an extremely enjoyable atmosphere.
The break beat is also very well written, and it's quite hard not to be surprised when new sounds and melody patterns appear in this track as they're really that good.

First on remix duty is Russian producer
Abdomen Burst (Silk / Morphosis).
A strong, energetic and very interesting break beat with many tweaks and other cool effects is soon established,
and powerful synth stabs follow shortly after.
The energy expands throughout the track as many various synths and sound effects are added as the track progresses,especially in the break.

Fretwell (Morphosis / Baroque) from the UK returns to Mistique with a break beat remix which starts out with a kind of dark or moody atmosphere. Very groovy synth lines are introduced after the break, and they are supported by a good deal of other stabs and effects to help build the atmosphere and to keep it extremely groovy.

The third remix comes from well-known Hungarian producer Retroid (Morphosis / Moist). The original guitar riffs have been enhanced and are soon introduced to the mix, and after a little while they dominate the track while the deep bassline keeps pumping underneath.
The break features some rather good pad lines and additional instruments that are added on top of the rest when the beat kicks back in.

From Russia comes Esthetique (Royal Tracks), and his remix starts out with a smooth atmosphere and a rather frisky break beat.
A tweaky and uplifting theme synth makes a cool variation to the track, and great deals of bells take over the lead afterwards while playing alongside the guitar line and other interesting,
tweaky effects.

Atrium Sun (Deepsessions / Morphosis) from Russia delivers the 5th remix in this package.
The hard-hitting percussion elements accompany the gated flute-esque pads very well, and the melodies introduced in the break part are extremely good additions.
The energy keeps building throughout the rest of the track, and the melodies are taken to a higher level as well.

Russian producer Stereotekk (Carica) finalizes this release.
This is an extremely funky track with a unique and groovy bassline that'll kill every dance floor.
Also the great pad effects (stabs, panned, reversed etc.) help to make this track very interesting to listen to.
