REVIEW: Vadim Zhukov - Moscow Morning 2014 incl Ultimate remix out on Touchstone recordings

Vadim Zhukov’s ‘Moscow Morning’ was originally released on the Deep Blue Records label back in 2006 under the artist name of ‘Double V’. Since then a new act as laid claim to that name, so Vadim decided to use his real name for this release of new and reissued mixes. Leading the charge is Ultimate’s rocking 138bpm pure trance mix which is a perfect example of what a modern remix update should be – it is completely faithful to the wonderful melodies and progressions of the original 2006 release but envelops them in a 100% bang-up-to-date peak-time trance mix. On a much deeper note is a remix by Vadim himself under his renowned ‘Stanley Progman’ alias, which takes us on an immersive trip down a minimal trance-for-adults road. Finally the elusive ImmerSense guys darken up the atmosphere somewhat with spooky sequencers, eerie atmospherics and experimental percussive elements in their progressive trance remake. 

Dimitri Kechagias review:  The Pure Trance record label Touchstone recordings headed by Solarstone presents 3 magnificent new remixes on the beloved trance classic Moscow Morning that is considered as one of the masterpieces in trance music. Vadim Zhukov in his career has offered  many unforgettable tracks and Moscow Morning was one of his best. First of all comes the Ultimate remix that is the finest update that you could ever imagine or better wish to happen for this precious record. It follows faithfully the classic trance style with straight forward composition that focus on the emotional melodic themes. Banging bouncy beats and driving energetic basslines melted with warm strings and colourful synthy melodies  lead us on the long breakdown.  It's the moment that the hair raising well known synthy melody appears in the surface to bring goosebumps and increase intensity levels. The climax will offer the pay off moment we are waiting for with hands in the air straight to the point pure trance composition with mesmerising luscious electronic melodies and epic synths to carry our soul away for the journey towards Moscow in the morning.   Stanley Progman remix is an exceptional deep melodic progressive house meets trance track that will be the favourite for those who like producers like Gai Barone. Deep haunting basslines, chunky groovy beats and the trademark melody of the classic replayed in a totally different hypnotic direction. Spacey and mysterious composition for the warm up moments of your dj set. On the same deep dark progressive trance sound moves the ImmerSense version that lasts for more than 9 minutes and will appeal to the more sophisticated audience that expects something more experimental and complicated with fresh ideas and interesting sound innovations. High class remixes not to be missed! #PureGold Love it
