Orkidea is one of Trance scene's original innovators, his DJ sets are legendary for their programming and his productions remain at the forefront of the Pure Trance movement. 'Hale Bopp' is taken from his '20' career spanning opus & here we present a selection of remixes from the forthcoming '20 Remixed' edition.
'Hale Bopp' was of course originally released by Der Dritte Raum on Additive back in 1998, any Trance purist worth their onions should be aware of this classic record. Orkidea and JS16 come together to put their own slant on this legendary track. Orkidea Remix interpretation remains faithful to the intricate melodic structure of the original track but presents those beautiful passages in inimitable Orkidea style. Vocal stabs, gated filtering synth patterns and the unmissable spiraling arpeggio are all present and correct before 'Hale Bopp's' head spinning baseline lead riff drops at the break - subsequently propelled into the trance stratosphere by Tapio's Pure Trance production. The Original Mix is more of the same but at a more sedentary pace, while fellow Fins Timewave turn up the pro knob with their mix, dark thunderous rhythms and a muted baseline lay the ground work until huge cascading pads, fat chorused leads and analogue sequences provide the payoff.
Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the best tracks from Orkidea's successful and very influential trance album 20 is released finally as single. The progressive classic Hale Bopp by the German EDM pioneers Der Dritte Raum is recreated with the aid of fellow Finish producer JS16. The original follows the proglifting trance style with intense build up of the various elements with chunky beats, housey groovy basslines and amazing spacey sound effects leading on the breakdown that the unforgettable melodic theme is introduced to bring shivers from head to toe. Its one of those tracks that keep you glued on the speakers as a result of the high quality production values and musicality as well. The top notch original is supported with two additional mixes that will satisfy wide variety of trance ears. Orkidea's own Club Mix follows the psy trance style with sharp and punchy beats and basslines, spoken female vocal samples that add real character and sci-fi filmic atmosphere that will carry away your spirit in far away galaxies and will you make you dream and dance in a truly spiritual way. Timewave version is deeper progressive trance version with psy trance influences as well. Balearic bubbly groovy beats, dark haunting basslines, spacey sound effects combined with that unforgettable melodic theme that once you get exposed to it, you will feel absolutely absorbed from it. Its the kind of track that is part of a longer journey with goal to offer new senses and experiences to the listener. Love iT!
