[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]The massive vocal anthem “Rising Up” by Christina Novelli receives a spectacular rebirth with the official remix pack, delivering an impressive showcase of technical production mastery and stylistic versatility. Curated from hundreds of entries to the EDMTips and Black Hole Recordings remix competition, the winning remixes highlight both the emotional resonance of Novelli’s vocals and the cutting-edge craft of modern electronic music production. The Aquarius Remix, clocking in at 128 BPM, is a melodic progressive trance gem. Its production shines through a precise layering of lush pads, arpeggiated synths, and deep pulsating basslines that provide a hypnotic groove. Sidechaining is expertly employed to give Christina Novelli’s soaring vocal space to breathe, while subtle automation of filter sweeps and reverb tails adds a sense of constant motion. The track’s breakdown glides into a euphoric lift, with intricate melodic counterpoints and high-definition stereo imaging that make the mix feel wide and immersive. Sebastian Park’s piano house version offers a contrasting approach, blending organic piano chords with a steady four-on-the-floor rhythm. The production’s crisp high-end balancing and tasteful compression keep the track warm yet punchy, setting up the euphoric climax perfectly for the dance floor. Layered vocal chops and a subtle sidechain pump create a dynamic feel that complements the feel-good, uplifting energy of the arrangement. Second-place finalist VVILLØ brings a 130 BPM proglifting trance remix that demonstrates high-caliber production prowess. This version features a dramatic, cinematic breakdown with epic pads, rising white-noise sweeps, and delayed plucks that resolve into a sensational climax. The mixdown is balanced with precision, keeping the low-end tight while letting the soaring leads cut through without harshness, highlighting professional EQing and mastering decisions. Finally, Will Darling, founder of EDMTips, delivers his own 130 BPM proglifting trance rendition with nostalgic touches that nod to classic trance eras. His remix utilizes layered supersaw leads, gated pads, and percussive fills that add textural depth. The structure cleverly teases the drop, with carefully automated reverb and delay moments enhancing the impact of the final release. Altogether, the “Rising Up” remix pack is a demonstration of technical skill and emotive electronic production, turning Christina Novelli’s original anthem into a multi-genre experience that is both club-ready and audiophile-approved. #PureGold Love IT[/content]
