Vinyl Dharma - Head For the Hills

Friday, May 28, 2010


Texas-based indie band, Vinyl Dharma goes EDM for the second time on Cromarti Records. This time around, we get to hear remixes from top-notched artists, Bas van Essen, PROFF, Dave Cortex, and Phunktastike.

First off, a remix from Dutch producer, Bas van Essen. This remix, named as "Head For The Hills (Bas van Essen Dub)", caters to listeners who enjoy deep-drifting basslines and uplifting chords. If you're juggling the names Kaskade, Deadmau5, and Adam K. & Soha in your head, then you are one keen listener.

When you see the letters P.R.O.F.F. on the release cover, you already, more or less, have an idea that the release is something worth the purchase. Likewise, Vadim "PROFF" Ershov's remix is the soundtrack for aficionados inclined towards the sunny-side up style of progressive house music.

Well, the next name isn't really new on the block. American producer Dave Cortex also takes remix duties for "Head For the Hills". We've last spotted him on Soundscapes with his remix on Something Good's "La Biankini" as well as Incognet's "Avesta"-- both from Nellie Recordings. Dave's remix signals the departure from the release's uplifting, melodic approach thanks to his collection of crunchy synths and stubby basslines. Having said those, I believe this is the version that should be played more often in clubs.

Hailing from Cantabria, Jose Mariano Piriz, with the guise, Phunktastike, brings the release to a close with his tech-inclined piece. Atmospheric yet steady, this is the Phunktastike Remix.

This release made me look forward to the future releases on Cromarti Records. After all, their quality tunes are really worth the listen.
