1-Original mix
2-Shreddward remix
Academik's new release veers into breaks territory with Francis Prève and The Chaotic Good's "Collider".
The original mix of "Collider" entangles hard-as-nails synth elements with atmospheric moments via an arrangement that whips from section to section like an out-of-control particle accelerator. Prève's analog-fueled sound design tactics fuse with The Chaotic Good's impeccably punchy production skills in a way that sounds utterly fresh in the context of the current EDM landscape.
The Shreddward remix of "Collider" recombines the original synth and drum parts into a peak-time minimal stomper that fits beautifully in tech sets of all kinds. Shreddward combines the original elements with a funkier vibe, placing the focus squarely on Shredd's rolling subsonic bombast before rising to a second payoff that sets up your next track perfectly, no matter what's in your crate.

Dimitri Kechagias review: Academik Records is all about quality and as it seems this upcoming label tries to touch upon different style and in a way to challenge audience perceptions and widen their taste in music. The latest one by the label boss Francis Preve and The Chaotic God is a minimal techno breaks cracker that is deep and definitely inspired piece of music. Not the obvious 4 to 4 sound to dance on the dancefloor but a very well composed track with sound textures and deep atmospheres that human ear and mind needs its time to explore and explode as it slowly moves and grooves. Of course Shreddward remix is the perfect choice for the more banging floors. If you love progressive house sounds with chunky tech beats and dirty basslines dont miss this monster size tune. Playful and surprising with some french disco house influences as well its one of those tracks that denies to be easily categorised. Drop it on the dancefloor and wait for the reaction. Dancefloor mayhem moments are guaranteed! Love iT!
