[item value="10"] Markus Schulz, Ferry Corsten & Omnia - Loops & Tings[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Omnia's dynamic rework of the 2012 classic 'Loops & Tings,' famously showcased by Armin van Buuren during A State of Trance, stands as a testament to technical prowess and innovative production techniques. This remix not only pays homage to Markus Schulz and Ferry Corsten’s recreation of the German trance staple but also redefines it through Omnia’s signature stylistic lens. The track’s production process reveals meticulous layering and sound design. Omnia employs pounding percussion elements that are tightly compressed to maintain clarity amidst the dense mix. The pulsating basslines are crafted using sidechain compression, allowing them to breathe rhythmically with the kick drum, creating that quintessential trance drive. Thumping drums are processed with transient shapers to enhance their punch, ensuring they cut through even in the busiest sections of the track. A hallmark of this remix is the distorted synth plucks, achieved through complex modulation and filter automation. These plucks add a gritty texture, contrasting beautifully with the smooth, expansive pads that fill out the sonic landscape. The breakdown is a masterclass in dynamic range manipulation, where Omnia strips back the intensity, spotlighting the unforgettable synth hook with lush reverb and delay effects that give it an ethereal quality. Operating at 128 BPM, this remix utilizes tempo-synced effects and intricate arpeggiations, creating a sense of relentless momentum. Omnia skillfully balances the original’s melodic integrity with contemporary trance elements, such as earth-shaking drops and instant-gratification hooks, crafted to captivate modern audiences. This rework is not just a track; it’s an expertly engineered auditory experience, designed to dominate festival stages and resonate deeply within the trance community. #PureGold indeed.
