[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Armin van Buuren is a very hard working DJ who always comes up with surprising ideas like the latest Club Embrace project that attempts to translate classic Armin hit into deep melodic brooding melancholic versions perfect for his warm up sets. First is the beloved LTN who delivers one of the finest remixes on the iconic Burned with Desire featuring Justine Suissa on vocal duties. LTN is a true magician and transforms the original into a majestic piece with deep pulsating basslines, chunky lazy grooves, great cinematic atmosphere and most importantly the romantic piano melody that give you goosebumps instantly. Diversion touches the multi million selling hit In and Out of Love. His version is brooding moody melancholic smooth and mysterious with superb application of the original vocals that sound so different within this deep warn and totally unfamiliar territory. Martijn ten Velden translates Mirage that was an epic anthemic trancer into a deeper progressive house meets trance version with deep smooth basslines, rolling grooves and of course the well known epic orchestral string themes of the original slightly understated in order to recall the original but to not do it in your face while on top the magical opera style vocal is added to create even more spooky atmosphere. Namatjira provides the deep brooding melodic remix on Never Say Never featuring Jacqueline Govaert. You can expect deep smooth basslines, chunky crunchy bubble grooves, emotional synths and truly sacred mysterious atmosphere that supports beautifully Jacqueline performance. The result is a hypnotic romantic affair that will bring you closer to the dancefloor letting yourself go enjoying the pleasure of the moment. Another You feat. Mr. Probz is remixed by Gundamea who provides a stunning version of tribal house grooves, floating trancy synths, vocal snippets on the very background and overall a magical trip that will carry you away and unlock your deepest fantasies and desires. Certainly has a warm flirting sexy vibe to it. This is What It Feels Like feat. Trevor Guthrie is remixed by Matt Lange who does what he knows best. His version is darker moody tech-house with pumping dark basslines, thumping drums, vocal snippets that stay in the background and a very spacey breakdown with distorted vocal samples. The track in the second part continues as it started with serious heads down sound that in the right occasion sounds incredibly delicious. Martin Roth comes next to re-imagine Hymn in his very well known deep hypnotic dream house style with tribalish grooves, deep haunting basslines and the unforgettable original theme played in the background adding truly exotic unique flavour that will please any house and trance fan something that Martin is always so capable of doing in his high standards productions. Inventive and innovative remixes that prove that the life of a track is endless and there is no expiry date attached to it. #PureGold Love It [/content]
