Matthew Dekay – If I Could Fly (The Remixes)
A. Kosmas Epsilon Remix
B. Patch Park Remix
C. Sebastian Davidson Remix
D. Darin Epsilon Remix
E. Gringo Gomes Remix
Release date: OUT NOW (beatport exclusive)
Label: Deep Records DEEP049
Release Info:
Back in 2003 when progressive was still one of the most popular, if not thé most popular, genres ruling the dance planet, Deep Records released Matthew Dekay’s stunning “If I Could Fly” with a massive remix by Madoka on the flip. It’s now five years later and the track will be doing new rounds with new remixes with today’s sound. Remixers are not the least with Kosmas Epsilon and Patch Park as the two guys who are in the scene for quite some years now, Sebastian Davidson who is making a name for himself for about two or three years and relative newcomers in production Darin Epsilon and Gringo Gomes to top it off.
First remix comes from Kosmas Epsilon. Good at producing so many different styles and genres this time he takes things on a more techier route. The bassline does its driving part, the crazy pads ’n fx work their way around and then a very techy synth stabs it so the focus gets to lie there. Really bouncy and almost techno-like this piece of music should appeal to loads of dj’s around.
Patch Park shows once again that his change of sound is a good thing for the proggy/techy heads out there. Starting off with warm percussion and bass he adds a detroit-like synth that is in the same league with the popular Amsterdam techno sound with labels like Intacto, 100% Pure and Remote Area. Warm, techy and energetic at the same time. What do you want more?
Next up is Sebastian Davidson who starts off with tribal percussion and a deep fat bass. Deep house and techy at the same time he slowly builds his remix up to perfection. Vocal snippets echo their way throughout the track, while later on a beautiful warm strings stabs are added to create this floating feel. Proper warm-up material.
Chicago based Darin Epsilon is starting his remix with some distorted and echoing sounds this mix takes it away when the fierce kick comes in to play. In the background the bass is swelling its way back and forth in a deep and nearly grumbling manner. Some sci-fi-like fx, a machinical sounding pad and lush melodicness set the mood even further. Pure progressive house with a really nice lush melodic twist.
Last up is Gringo Gomes, a dutch dj/producer duo who took Dekay’s original and turned it into some crazy dancefloor killer. Gone is the progressive sound and the freaky combination of techno and house hits you in the ears while going mental. The beat/bass/percs combination is just out of this world. It’s so catchy and bouncy there’s no way to resist it. Then all kinds of freaky, fuzzy sounds come along which make it even more danceable. This is no bland techno rip-off, this is how freaky techno should sound.

Good to finally see this make its way into stores. Love the diversity of styles and genres represented here.
nice! been waiting for this 
Patch Park Remix by a country mile.
Really wish Kosmas would go back to his older style, even if it's a rare sound now days.
Darin Epsilon's take for me, loving those melodies

Yep, I found this one on release day. Darin's remix is my pick of the litter. The whole release is very eclectic though, so there should be a sound in there for everyone.
What IpLayWiTLiGhTs said pretty much hits the nail on the head for me as well. That melody is to die for. Way to go on this one, Darin! 
what an absolutely wonderful release. Patch Park & Seb D's takes are great. and Darin Epsilon delivers as usual - i see a lot of good things in the future for this guy. excited to play this out soon!
probably one of the best overall remix packages to come out in a long time.

I was just listening to the original last night... one of my favorite tracks. Don't think any remix could stack up to it, although the producers on this release are talented.
impressive bassline in your remix darin, kinda surprising but has a cool "mmmmmmmmh summer" feeling to it
next one is the patch park remix... def. what tech house is about! really like it
Nothing will ever compare to the original. None of these really did much for me.
Don't you miss when Matthew Dekay's productions were mindblowing?
Especially:
Beautiful Monday
If I Could Fly
Space Mountain Tablet
Also good:
Time to Think
Swing 2 Harmony
Since then his music has not moved me at all.
I just saw this on another board but looks like the Original and Madoka remixes are now out on digital format:

Higher Thoughts, Symbiosis, More Money More Power - all class
Of these new remixes, meh, Patch Park remix probably the pick of the bunch
Yeah, that Patch Park remix is a monster
Darin's remix is pretty tight too

| Originally posted by stevebutabi Those and the Michael Burns tracks really defined the 2003 progressive sound for me. Loved that year. There has a been a lot of good stuff since then, but nothing as moving IMO. |
Michael Burns.
Darin Epsilon mix takes the cake for me - really wish you would have continued in the style of the first minute though! 
Sebastian Davidson Remix is a pure beauty IMO!
Great deep house sound, stunning drum kits and those thrilling vocal / voice additions are the things my ears really do want to hear.
