Maor Levi had been hallmarked for great things ever since his prog trancer ‘Lital’ gave us our first insight into the skills of this prodigiously talented producer back in 2005 and has been a key Anjuna producer ever since. Having had a short hiatus due to national service, he returns with ‘Chasing Love’. Enlisting the help of Ashley Tomberlin, another who is no stranger to Anjuna followers having previously lent her atmospheric vocals to heavyweight tracks such as Luminary’s ‘Amsterdam’ and Above & Beyond’s ‘Can’t Sleep’, perhaps it was inevitable that this inspired collaboration would be a smash.
The Original Mix, as featured on Above & Beyond’s Anjunabeats Volume 8, synthesises Maor’s trademark edgy sound with a gorgeous, airy vocal floating off the top of a magical, swirling spiral of melodies and purposeful bottom end.
The Club Mix then sees Maor rework the track for dancefloor destruction with a dense, heavy groove and more orthodox peak-time structure.
And to complete, Laurent Véronnez dons his Airwave hat for a beautifully brooding, darkly atmospheric breakbeat rework with echoes of classic Hybrid about it.
airwave's remix sounds like the strongest from the samples but it doesn't say much. the original is really bland and the club mix is not that much improvement.
