Derek Ryan - Azure (Ryan Mendoza Remix)
American producer Derek Ryan returns on Echelon with his delightfully fresh single "Azure". His debut EP Optera in 2010 had a progressive emphasis with a slight tech twist and was well received by the audience. The new single boosts things up with a striking drive and a wild bass line, not forgetting pungent melodies and rich textures. The original mix flows with ease, adding different elements throughout the development. The package comes with a remix by Ryan Mendoza who builds his interpretation of Azure on a steady bass gallop while the melodic side has a more classical trance approach.
Dimitri Kechagias review: Echelon labels are out there to select and bring out some of the hottest trance cuts. Azure is a big room track destined to get much support and stand out from the rest. The original mix is powerful electro prog trancer that flows and grows so nicely that is impossible not to feel energized and pumped up ready for action in the middle of the dancefloor. The breakdown is epic as it can get with beautiful ambient like atmosphere, great feel good synthy melody bringing up summer holidays. When that manic beat comes back get ready for hands in the air action. Drum rolls and scratching effects will lead to the main part that is melodic and delightful but with a dirty bassline doing some bussiness too. Ryan Mendoza provides in my opion the best version. Really powerful and super duper dynamic this trancer will satisfy even the harder to please audience. It has that perenial classical trance feel that we lately miss for sure. Ryan is definitely one of the most important trance producers at the moment. Great Echelon beauty for the uplifting parties ready for action.
