REVIEW: Andain - Beautiful Things (Remixes) out on Black Hole recordings


1. Daniel Skyver Remix
2. Fady & Mina Remix

Almost 11 years after Andain’s second single ‘Beautiful Things’ was released together with the very successful Gabriel & Dresden remix, it’s now time for two brand new remixes by Daniel Skyver and Fady & Mina.

First up is the remix by Brit Daniel Skyver, who has been making a mark on the trance scene recently with a load of big trance releases. His remix of ‘Beautiful Things’ is another one that can be added to this list being the powerful trancer it is.

Egyptian duo Fady & Mina delivers the second remix. They’ve kicked up the BPM of the track considerably and gave it their signature sound, whilst keeping the feel of the original alive.





Dimitri Kechagias review: One of the best vocal trance anthems ever is considered to be the stunning Andain with Beautiful Things on the seminal remix by Gabriel & Dresden. The video taken from Andain's live performance at Tiesto in Concert has 2.018.491 views so far. The unforgettable heartfelt lyrics and the memorable guitar riffs along with the very unique G&D groove make this track an eternal classic. 2014 is considered to be the year of Pure Uplifting Trance so the influential label Black Hole recordings rereleases just in time for the summer festivals the eternal classic remixed by two magnificent artists. Daniel Skyver who is on the rise and the beloved Egyptian duo Fady & Mina. First of all the UK based Daniel Skyver adds to the track is own established uplifting UK trance style that will blow you away. His tough kicks that bang hard, the energetic driving basslines that charge your body with power, acid overtones to keep it a bit gritty and dirty, euphoric synths and of course Mavi's exceptional performance that sounds perfect on uplifting trance soundscape as her voice is really ethereal and I hope she can do more often guest appearances on other artists records as well cause we need great voices like Mavis. Daniel is amazing as in his breakdown applies the classic guitar riffs and along with all the ambiance of sounds Mavi's words enhanced even more and touch your heart. Huge euphoric synthy leads are exploding out of proportion and the rest of the song is used followed by pumping aggressive drum rolls that build the excitement to the maximum. The climax is full on hands in the air uplifting trance at its very best! Maybe one of the best Daniel's remixes so far! Fady & Mina never disappoint of course and strike back with their magnificent mixture of uplifting, hard trance and tech trance as well. Superb metallic techno groove supported by driving energetic basslines and some short guitar riffs as well. Cool short breakdown to allow the vocal to expand with clever flange effect until the tough beat returns just for the chorus to appear in true uplifting trance style. The long breakdown is the time for Mavi's voice to appear with nice warm atmosphere some synthy plucks and echo effects. The huge twist comes with the appearance of the fantastic hair raising roof raising crowd shaking synthy lead that can drive you crazy.Nicely they build everything exceptionally well until the beat to kick back for the final euphoric climax. Beautiful Things deserves to become a huge hit in the mainstream as well. A nice suggestion would be to commission some deep house remixes on the Robin Schulz or Klingande or Eelke Kleijn style for instance! #PureGold Love it
