Charlie May – Midnight (Original Mix)
Taken from the critically acclaimed Invol2ver album, ‘Eclipse’ and ‘Midnight’ get the remix treatment from two of the most exciting producers to emerge in recent years – Butch and Nhar. Personally selected by Sasha following his support of many of their own productions in his sets, both have delivered incredible interpretations…
Butch’s take on Sasha’s Ray LaMontagne collaboration is a furious slice of tech-house. “The original ‘Eclipse’ is quite deep,” explains Sasha, “So when we decided to have it remixed, we wanted to take it up a few notches, both to offer variety and make it suitable for those peak time hours.” The resulting mix is a builder in the purest sense. Butch adds in layer upon layer of sound as the variation drives towards its climax, where the innovative use of two mini-breaks in quick succession drown the listener in an intense audio wave; a unique ‘moment’ that never fails to work wherever its played, be it the centre of a dancefloor or thrashed through the iPod headphones!
Nhar’s re-work of Charlie’s ‘Midnight’, contains all his emotive hallmarks founded by a driving kick, a part that’s pretty much omitted from the original, as Charlie explains, “Although there’s a lot of energy in ‘Midnight’ it doesn’t have a traditional 4/4 beat. Nhar really was the perfect choice to re-imagine the track for the dancefloor, his contemporary, yet melodic style, provided him with an immediate understanding of the original and where it then needed to go. I’m delighted with the outcome”
With the original mixes also featured in their full-length, fully mastered guise for the first time, ‘The Midnight Eclipse EP’ is a very welcome addition to the emFire roster.
