Adel "Big Al" Ghandour is known for his impressive line-up of record labels, with Ready Mix Records (est. 1999) being the the label that tops the list. This time around, we get to review something from Empty Whisky Flask Records, the record label that features warm, organic, and sophisticated sounds, established by Big Al himself back in 2010 with his partner Levente Szabo (collectively known as Harlem Knights).
"Butterflies" is the debut release of Turkish soundsmith, Mehmet Akar on Empty Whisky Flask Records. As the release hailing from one of the most respected electronic artists from Turkey, "Butterfly" comes with two marvelous remixes from Harlem Knights and Alberto Kanzyani.
Sounds Like:
The original mix of "Butterflies" lives up to the standards of EWFR. In the first few seconds alone, "Butterflies" graces off with mellow rhode progressions, then continued with a flawless flow of gliding contour-rich bassline and seemingly mangled vocal hooks-- all of which have been dipped into a lush and soothing sample in the breakdown.
"Butterflies" gets a tech wash-down in the hands of Big Al and Levente, the two guys behind the guise Harlem Knights. Their remix still preserves the gentle grooves of the original and is in fact dubbed with more radiant keys in the breakdown. . . just before it fades into the groovy part of the track.
Things get deeper as we hear Albero Kanzyani's take on "Butterflies". Just two things to expect from this one: first, dense bass that will definitely make you move a muscle, and second, the interplay between the jazzy trumpet and the heavenly vocal add-on that will spice things up.
Recommendation:
Just another fantastic release reviewed. We're pretty impressed with "Butterflies" and its remixes, actually, and thus we recommend all three tracks.
Watch out for more from Empty Whisky Flask Records!
