Dr. Avalance – Invisible Things

jacco — Thu, 16 May 2013 04:36:08 +0000

LuPSRec 170 brings an Original from Dr. Avalance. Born in Rotterdam (The Netherlands), Simon Gomez a.k.a. Dr. Avalance was intrigued by the music since very young, until the 90′s he discovered the magical world of Midi. After many “experiments” and collaborations with musicians through a decade, in the 2000th year of the Common Era he decided to seriously produce electronic music. Dr. Avalance aka Simon Perez now lives in the north of Spain. His Dutch roots and his Spanish blood are causing a magical effect on his music.

His original tracks contains a more downtempo groove with crispy percussion. On top he placed all sorts of Jean Michel Jarre sounding synthstabs and pads. The whole arrangement and atmosphere of this original is just spacey and druggy.

The first remix comes from ever constintent Dutch duo Analog Effect. Their Rework version just goes deep and sneaks under your skin. A moody but steady percussion groove with on top a couple of morphed and tweaked synthriffs, leads you to the breakdown section which is pretty intense. When it all get’s back together the track really takes of.

The last remix comes from and another duo Juan Feijoo & Fran Rodriguez. They build a more uptempo big room groove with a dark growling bass and a fragile yet breakable spooky atmosphere. This remix sounds like the good old Luke Chable tracks from early 2000.

Jacco@Work featuring Rez – Helium

jacco — Thu, 16 May 2013 04:23:35 +0000

Finally release 100 is there. Labelboss Jacco@Work returns to LuPS with an Original track called Helium. Compared with his earlier Original works Helium is far more melodic and atmospheric. The track kicks off with a beatloop filled up with crispy percussion like snappy fingers and sissling hihats. Halfway the build Jacco introduces eerie soundscapes and moody pads which gives the track a melancholic feel. Then when the breakdown appears the track turns into another direction. The vocals from Rez and the new plucked guitarline are creating a more happy atmosphere. Surely when a very catchy buzzing leadline hits the speakers. At that moment the track takes oflike a helium balloon. Alongside this vocal version Jacco@Work also delivered an instrumental version.

The first remix comes from Napalm. He fully turned the remixpackage upside down and sorted out the best usable samples to create a monsterous pumping remix with vocoded leadlines and a devastating Tech House groove. This is a peaktime hour bomb.

The second remix comes from Neel V. He also sorted out the remixpack and took out the best samples and added some new additional synthstabs and fx’s to create a more deeper, sleazy, yet dazzling and moody version with a old school prog house feel.

The last remix comes from Rez. Besides being the vocalist on the Original track Rez also shows that he is capable to produce tracks. His remix is more uptempo and a cool crossover between Old School and Prog House. A deep bumping bassline, a catchy syntstab and driving percussion takes you back to the 90′s when the crowd went crazy on OT Quartet – Hold That Sucker Down. Not an average remix, but surely a great gimmick.

Tolga Diler – Today

jacco — Thu, 16 May 2013 04:20:22 +0000

An unusual off beat rhythmstrcuture and a wobbly one stab bassline has been combined with a few Deep House syntstabs, female vocals, stringsections and a trumpet/flute melodyline.

The first remix comes from Peru and sees the return of Aber on the label. Aber turned the Original into a great clubby tune with a great deep bassline, crispy swinging percusion and a handfull of new elements like a slap bass and a tweaked arped pluck stab. This remix is a great warming up tune.

The last remix sees the return of another LuPS artist. Maxi Iborquiza drowned his remix in a bath filled with a deep hypnotic fluid. A very deep resonating bassline a moody pads and a distored guitar are causing a gloomy atmosphere. The track really takes of when Maxi introduces a Techy synthstab after the breakdown. Together with the driving percussion the whole track comes alive and turns into a peaktime hour spaced out timebomb.

This is a solid setstarter when you need to play at peaktime hours.

The only remix comes from man of the moment Nanai Pal aka Napalm. His remix is fully the opposite of the original track. Nanai build a perfect rolling groove with a lot of depth and swing. A bold warm bassline is carrying the track very well whilst the crispy percussion does the rest.
