Ferrin & Low-Breeze

[~Tr@N(E_L@TiON~]

Josh Ferrin and Chris Low, two artists from Germany, deliver an astonishing trance anthem on Woody van Eyden's label. Also available on the vinyl are two remixes by van Eyden and Ron Creemers.

The producers of 'Breeze' have appeared on the Fenology label earlier with their rather massive remix for Koris vs. DJule's 'Sense Of Time'. Judging from their website, they're also working together closely with Alex M.O.R.P.H., with whom they have made a batch of interesting remixes for labels like Anjunabeats, Kontor, ETCR and Armind.
It took quite a while for this one to be released, since it was already featured on some compilation CD's last year, but now the waiting is finally over...

Original Mix
If you think you know what powerful trance is, go have a listen to this. It will instantly change your perceptions. Josh and Chris have made a magnificent epic stormer of a trance track, filled with everything you need: a superbly thick and fast percussion, roaring, deep basslines, an insane amount of drive and an outstanding melody to complete the picture. Right from the start, 'Breeze' grabs you fully: fingerlickin' percs and b-lines fill up the tune in no-time, only to be joined by thoughtfully put in and catchy bits of elevating synth to get things going in a matter of moments. The breakdown accentuates the fantastic anthemic vibe that has been implemented: a right-on massive melody filled with emotive key strokes does a perfect job here, guaranteeing a hands-in-the-air moment you just can't walk around. This stuff is stunning! When everything comes together during the climax, the tune explodes into total frenzy with it's harsh yet so smooth percussion, topped off with that lead riff I just can't stop ranting about. One of the best trancers to be heard in 2006!

Van Eyden & Creemers Peaktime Remix
Ron Creemers (one half of Moonrush) and Woody van Eyden deliver two mixes on the flip of the disc. The first one is a pure trancy interpretation, which overall sounds a lot more mellow than the stomping original. A very crispy, sharp sounding drive is being geared up during the build, fueled with some nicely thought out takes on the original's melodies, a very typical use of SFX and a soft yet steadily progressing bassline. The main attractiveness of this remix is the way in which it has implemented all the riffs from the original. It's not nearly as anthemic, but it most certainly knows how to lift you up; the main great melody has been rerubbed into an elevating, kind of electric-sounding experience, which definitely creates a great contrast. A bit of neat breakbeat jumps its way through the break, giving the remix just an extra bit of bite. A very refreshing, nicely polished take on the original.
Rating: 8/10

Van Eyden & Creemers 'Till Dawn Remix
The second remix coming from Woody and Ron's hands is a completely breakbeat-oriented affair. It uses most of the sounds used in their Peaktime remix, but gives everything a bit of a funky, alternative flavour. For the rest, there's not much to say about this one: in one way, it's cool and daring they have included this on the release, but in another way it seems like it's just a simple rehash of their initial remix with some not too noticeable added elements.
Rating: 6.5/10

The original of Breeze is a massive, massive stomper of a trance tune. It won't get much better than this! It incorporates amazing melodies and a superbly energetic structure, all in all making this one of thé tunes of 2006 already. Of the two remixes provided on the vinyl, the Peaktime remix by van Eyden and Creemers is the one to go for, as it provides you with an interesting interpretation. The breakbeat mix isn't my cup of tea and is too simple as well.

I'd like a personal review honestly . There's a B.R.U.N.I. & Will Holland Dub included as well btw ... but the Original's pretty banging itself!

It differs to me because then I can see how each person (who reviews) feels about a certain style through their expression of words.
