REVIEW: Markus Schulz & Emma Hewitt - Safe From Harm (The Remixes) out on Coldharbour

10.0
Overall Score

We gave it to you straight, now we're giving it to you spicy! 'Safe From Harm's on the summertime remix track. Caliente!

A first time pairing of Markus Schulz & Emma Hewitt, 'Safe's original vision became the quickest Schulz vid to pass the 1m views mark on YouTube and racked up stream & sales counts at comparable speed.

So happy with its reception was he that Markus has moved to expand its bandwidth further. He's jumped back behind the mixing desk to give it a nighttime respray and gotten Giuseppe Ottaviani and Dylhen on the horn for some remix collaboration.

After the Original's radio gift, Markus' new 'In Bloom' mix puts 'Safe From Harm' on a more emotive footing. He hovers Emma's vocal harmonies in the background, and in some epic minute-on-minute build, teasingly draws out its ascension. Tension at its apex, he stands the drums down, parachutes in the pianos & pads and puts Emma's dazzling song centre in the spotlight.

Returning the remix favour started by Markus' rework of Giuseppe's 'Ozone', Signore Ottaviani gives 'Safe' the most primetime spin of the three. Big on bassy boom, XL on the drum signature and swift of tempo, his mix has late night determination square between its crosshairs. Emma's song assumes its most anthemic feel yet as, post-break, Giuseppe uses mainline and chorus to effect its elevation.

Frontend, Coldharbour's Dylhen's revision cuts the treble & midrange to deepen 'Safe's profile. He takes a lower-slung tempo & more minimal arrangement and marries it to tweaking FX frequencies & moodily pervasive LFO. He allows shafts of melody in post-drop, but for 'Safe's cooler-ether redux, this is your stop.

Summary

Safe from Harm is the first ever collaboration between Markus and Emma. The club mix manage to capture the imagination of many and now the 3 additional remixes will extend the pleasure we got from the original. In Bloom remix by Markus himself is powerful big room interpretation with slamming dark basslines, pumping solid groove and superb feel good synths with epic hair raising melody. The Italian trance superstar Giuseppe Ottaviani injects the track with his tough energetic mixture of uplifting and driving progressive with tough drums, punchy rough bass and excellent long emotional breakdown followed by Ibiza friendly feel good euphoric climax to blow the speakers away. Italian tasty trance at its very finest. Finally the deeper moody emotional cold and distant version belongs to Dylhen who digs deeper under the glowing surface of the original and brings to the open delicious dark delights. #PureGold Love IT
