Avatism – Adamant Remixes #1 [Vakant]
For a foray into the world of house music not generally seen by a vast majority of the progressive loving public, check out the remixes of Avatism’s “Adamant” that’s out now on Beatport. Consisting of 4 individual tracks, each a remix by another artist and each a very unique and creative take on the original track, Avatism’s group of producers and friends make top notch music. On this release are Mind Against, Alex Smoke, Lake People, and Sons of Tiki.
Of each of the four tracks, I enjoyed the first and last the most: Mastodon (Mind Against Remix), and Blackened (Sons of Tiki Remix) respectively. Mastodon’s bass powers through your speakers and although quite deep, has a quite catchy riff. I like how Mind Against uses the bass as the main driver of the track, while having the other instruments compliment it in very interesting ways. The track is quite smooth and while not upbeat, is still a great listen in any setting. The opposite is true for Sons of Tiki’s remix of Blackened as its combination of kick, high hat, and booming bass make it upbeat, energetic, and a great listen. Once again, the bass line is very well done but I also like the grooving percussion and the interesting rhythmic elements SoT added. Overall, a great release and one you should not miss so pick it up off Beatport.
