Adam Fielding is back with us once again at Distinctive, this time with his latest single 'Icarus'. Delivering nothing short of beauty, Mr Fielding brings what he does best to the table and we know you're going to love it. Icarus opens with an instant wave of atmophere that straps you into position for the ride the is about to unfold infront of you. Lighthearted break beat carries through and is joined by elegant keys and strings that build and retreat into majestic peaks and breakdowns, the descriptive vocal floats through the track with a masterfully balanced contrast of ambience, dark bass lines and synth work - a light vs dark element and a great example to the mind of Fielding.
The 06R remix comes at the track with a larger lease on atmosphere, keeping the break beat vibe but going towards a more progressive almost Hybrid esque twist, the remix has more of a dancefloor edge and less outerspace flavour around it. Utilising those powerful strings and entrancing vocal it proves to be a meaty remix!
Blanka is up next and the duo of Adam White & Adam Dowling (Lost Language veterans)do what they do best and have created a big trance remix, fast flowing melodies derived from those awesome strings roll against the darker bass lines you hear in the original mix but with more of a focus point on that underlying thump from the bass line.
OhmFat relaxes the fringe with his remix, creating a very laid back; downtempo mix that has got sunshine groover written all over it. A new melodic bass line becomes the prominent factor whilst OhmFat takes little snippets and elements of the big room atmosphere and weaves them through the background of the mix. Definitely one for an Ibiza beach.
Chevy One tears up the rule book with his remix, the hour of ambience is gone and now comes the day of punchy progressive electro. The no fuss mix pumps out a dirty electro bass line that becomes very entrancing through its repetition. A great and unique take on the single.
Dimitri Kechagias review: The quality label Distinctive records is back with Adam Fielding and his breaks beauty Icarus that is supported by a huge package of quality remixes. The original is a superb slice of dark breaks with excellent atmosphere to take you on board for a magnificent journey. It can make you feel in liquid state for sure. 06R Widescreen Remix is on the same breaks style with cinematic atmosphere and psy trance infusions to it as well. Very travelling and inspiring with great use of the male vocals that have that indie dance touch to them. Blanka remix is a solid driving progressive trance make over with excellent violins and melodramatic strings to uplift your spirit high. It has the perfect balance of euphoria and darkness so its a must play. Ohm Fat's Edit is a superb chunky super groovy balearic deep progressive houser with excellent sounddesign and exceptional soundscapes that you wish to last for hours. Soundtrack Edit is a magnificent makeover perfect to be used on a cool science fiction or fantasy maybe film. Orchestral classical music combined with pianos, big strings, futuristic ambient music and awesome crescendo moment. Last remix by Chevy One. Superb dark gothic devilish electro house meets breaks style with some dubstep traces as well for those rougher and wilder moments. Not to be missed. Love iT!
