Tom Conrad & Andre Bonsor ‘Marcahuasi’ [2014]
Tom and Andre are back to Green Martian with the stunning ‘Marcahuasi’ along with a brilliant remix by none other than Velvet Girl.
The Original Mix is a smooth progressive house cut filled with a deep, lush groove which emanates from the bass and accompanying sweet melodic sequences. Chunky kicks and sharp hats provide the intro as well as some very sleek synth work. The track transforms when that bass comes through, it totally takes over the sound and locks you right into its vibe. Beautifully contrasting sounds work so well together as the track captivates the mind body and soul. Top stuff from the guys.
Velvet Girl aka the legendary Airwave gets to grips on the remix, and what a stomper he has in store. Huge big kick intro with a beautiful rising chord sequence which takes into progressive house utopia. A throbbing, unwinding bass is let loose and gives off an air of funk into the sound, this is coupled with some quality echoing arps and serves to deliver a stunning groove. The structure is built brilliantly as the layers produce a myriad of sounds that take you far away. Aside from that bassline the big hitter is a superb, groovy riff which is a very cool dynamic on the track. Amazing slice from Laurent and a must to be played out and cherished by many.
