REVIEW: Fisherman & Hawkins - Virus (Solid Stone Remix) out on Coldharbour recordings

9.9
Overall Score

As Dutch duo Fisherman & Hawkins continue to assemble an impressive portfolio through their Coldharbour Recordings releases, two of their particular archives are about to be refreshed for 2017, with the first coming courtesy of Solid Stone.

Having an excellent 2017 thanks to his beautiful vocal piece Tempted, the Montreal native provides a signature dark twist to 2013 release Virus; weaving the melody in a less upfront but more haunting manner.

When it's Solid Stone you know it's an essential for your progressive needs, and his remix of Virus is no different.

Summary

Solid Stone is definitely one of the big trance stars who loves to experiment and deliver forward thinking tracks. His remix on the classic Virus by Fisherman & Hawkins is superb and you will definitely appreciate it. His current style is deep haunting groovy and esoteric and these ingredients make his music so unique. Virus from upfront rave trancer is transformed into a quite melodic spooky progressive trancer that covers your body and manage easily to carry you away in its wonderful slice of electronic synths, deep basslines, rolling grooves and plenty of nice atmospherics. It is one of those records that any warm up trance dj will be honoured to play. #PureGold Love IT
