After a meteoric rise that has firmly established him as one of the leading names in modern Drum & Bass, Belgian sensation Andromedik announces the third and final edition of his acclaimed Andromedik Invites at Antwerp Expo concept on Friday, October 30.
What started as a bold vision has rapidly grown into one of Belgium’s most successful Drum & Bass event concepts. Following an overwhelming response to the very first edition at Trix in April 2024, which sold out instantly and even required a second date, Andromedik Invites continued its remarkable trajectory with two consecutive sold-out editions at Antwerp Expo in 2024 and 2025, each welcoming 4,500 fans for unforgettable nights of music, energy and community.
Now, Andromedik returns to Antwerp Expo one last time for what promises to be the biggest and most emotional chapter yet. While this marks the end of the Antwerp Expo era, it is far from the end of the Andromedik Invites story. New horizons are already on the radar, with future plans expected to elevate the concept event higher.
At just 27 years old, Andromedik has become one of the most influential artists of the new generation of Drum & Bass. Known for his melodic yet powerful sound, festival-ready productions and explosive live performances, he has built a global following through major festival appearances, international headline shows and collaborations with artists such as Netsky, Lost Frequencies, Kanine and Arcando. Recent releases, including the emotional anthem Hold Me In Heaven, showcase his ability to push the genre forward while reaching audiences far beyond the traditional Drum & Bass scene.
The momentum shows no signs of slowing down. Ahead of the final Antwerp Expo edition, Andromedik is preparing for an extensive Australian tour throughout June, followed by a packed summer schedule featuring performances in cities such as London and Paris, as well as appearances at some of Europe’s leading festivals, including Tomorrowland, Pukkelpop, Lowlands, Dreambeach and Liquicity.
The success of Andromedik Invites reflects the growing popularity of Drum & Bass worldwide and Andromedik’s central role within that movement: Shaping the future of the genre while bringing a new generation of fans into the scene.
On October 30, fans can expect a spectacular farewell to Antwerp Expo, featuring Andromedik’s signature high-energy A/V experience, special guests and a carefully curated line-up that celebrates everything the concept has become over the past years.
One final night. One final chapter. But the Andromedik Invites story continues.
* Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, June 5 at 12:00 CET

Dimitris Kechagias Review: [review top="1"] [item value="10"]Cheat Codes x ALTÉGO x Hannah Boleyn - Miss Me [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Cheat Codes, ALTÉGO, and Hannah Boleyn collaborate on “Miss Me,” a vibrant dance-pop track that exemplifies superb technical craftsmanship and musicality across every aspect of production. The rhythm, groove, and drive of the record are immediately infectious, propelled by a tight drum and bass foundation that maintains clarity and punch throughout. The percussion elements are carefully layered to create a dynamic flow, perfectly synchronized to keep club and festival audiences moving, while also appealing to casual listeners at home. The track’s melodic hooks and harmonic layers stand out, with a playful interpolation of “Kiss Me” serving as a nostalgic anchor, supported by lush synths, airy pads, and well-placed harmonic counterlines that give the track depth and color. Transitions, drops, and build-ups are executed with pristine attention to timing and energy management. The producers employ subtle risers, filtered sweeps, and rhythmic breaks to create anticipation, followed by explosive yet controlled drops that feel both euphoric and fluid. The energy flow and momentum remain seamless from start to finish, aided by precise BPM consistency that makes the track exceptionally DJ-friendly, with ample cue points and looping potential for live performances. Sound design and production quality radiate warmth and clarity, as each element occupies its space in the stereo field, benefiting from careful EQing and spatial effects that achieve a rich, immersive listening experience. Originality in arrangement and structure is evident, as “Miss Me” balances familiar pop sensibilities with underground drum and bass energy. The use of effects and spatial design, including tasteful reverb tails, stereo panning, and subtle delay modulation, enhances the immersive qualities of the mix, drawing the listener into a sonic environment that feels both intimate and expansive. The dynamic range and loudness balance are handled with mastery, allowing the track to hit hard in club systems while maintaining musicality in headphones and wellness settings. Atmosphere and emotional resonance are heightened by Hannah Boleyn’s standout vocal performance, which pairs expressive delivery with crystal-clear recording and subtle processing. Her performance lends the track cohesion and storytelling, while lyrical phrasing combines with the instrumental energy to evoke sensations of joy, nostalgia, and euphoria. These qualities directly contribute to the track’s catchiness, high replay value, and ability to spark positive emotional responses. From a psychological and wellness perspective, research has shown that listening to high-energy, rhythmically consistent music can elevate mood and improve mental health by stimulating dopamine release and enhancing feelings of reward (Salimpoor et al., 2011). Studies also indicate that music with strong rhythmic elements and predictable energy flow can improve workout performance, promote endurance, and regulate breathing in fitness contexts (Terry et al., 2020). “Miss Me,” with its propulsive beats, vibrant melodies, and festival-ready energy, is not only a dancefloor weapon but also a track that could boost physical performance in spinning, HIIT, or aerobic classes, while simultaneously uplifting mood and reducing stress levels. Overall, “Miss Me” demonstrates exceptional creativity, cohesion, and artistic identity, translating into a track that is impactful in clubs, wellness sessions, and private listening alike. Its technical polish, emotional resonance, and adaptability position it as a standout in contemporary dance music. #PureGold Loveit[/content]

Maor Levi, one of Anjunabeats' most beloved talents, returns to the label with 'Reflect Reliquified / Illumina Reliquified'.
Maor has been a semi-regular contributor to Anjunabeats since 2006, and in that time he has helped to define the modern sound of the label. Maor first signed to Anjunadeep at the age of 15 with 'Lital', before jumping across to Anjunabeats. He's since produced a continuous stream of club hits for the label including classics like ‘Shapes’ and ‘Won’t Say No’.
Last year, Maor collaborated with fellow Anjunabeats stalwarts Ilan Bluestone and Giuseppe De Luca on 'Ignite', the title track from Ilan's latest studio album. An electrifying blend of hypnotic melodies, soaring vocals, and explosive drops, the track earned support from the likes of Armin van Buuren, Ferry Corsten, Farius, Kyau & Albert, Ronski Speed, Ruben de Ronde and many more.
Now, Maor returns to the label with drum & bass reworks of his classic Anjuna tracks 'Reflect' and 'Illumina'. Originally released on Anjunadeep in 2007, 'Reflect' and 'Illumina' have since gained support from Tiësto, Paul van Dyk, Darude, Cosmic Gate, The Thrillseekers and many more.
"I called these reworks 'Reliquified' because they’re not remixes, they’re dissolutions. Old ideas broken down, melted, and reformed into something darker, more aggressive, and more alive.
'Reflect' and 'Illumina' kept their essence, but the sound design, rhythm, and energy were liquified/remixed into modern versions with a new identity." - Maor Levi
Maor Levi’s 'Reflect Reliquified / Illumina Reliquified' is out now on Anjunabeats.

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Maor Levi’s “Reflect Reliquified / Illumina Reliquified” breathes new life into his classic Anjunadeep releases, transforming them into a masterclass of modern drum & bass production. The tracks immediately impress with their rhythm, groove, and drive, propelling the listener into a kinetic soundscape that feels tailored for both the dancefloor and personal listening sessions. The grooves are tightly constructed, with syncopated drum patterns and punchy basslines that maintain BPM consistency and make live mixing seamless for DJs. The transitions and build-ups are fluid and purposeful, with drops that maintain dynamic energy, allowing for natural cue points and loop potential in professional sets. The melodic hooks and harmonic layers showcase Levi’s signature musicality, now reimagined through a darker and more aggressive sound design. The lush atmospherics and spatial effects create a three-dimensional listening experience, immersing the audience in sonic details that reward repeated plays. This spatial design enhances the cohesion and storytelling of the tracks, as each build and breakdown feels like a narrative moment guiding the listener through a journey of tension and release. The dynamic range and loudness balance are handled with precision, maintaining high-energy impact without compromising clarity. From a production standpoint, the originality of arrangement and structural reinvention stands out. Levi’s approach to “Reliquified” versions goes beyond a standard remix—he effectively deconstructs the original elements, reforming them into new musical organisms with a distinct artistic identity. The layering of effects, percussive accents, and evolving textures not only raises the tracks’ festival and club suitability but also enhances their emotional resonance. This emotional impact translates into powerful physiological responses; studies suggest that music with strong rhythmic drive and harmonic complexity can boost dopamine levels and reduce stress (Menon & Levitin, 2005), supporting mental well-being. The immersive atmosphere and energetic flow make these tracks suitable for fitness and movement-based wellness classes, where synchronization of physical activity to music has been linked to improved endurance and mood (Karageorghis & Priest, 2012). The high replay value and catchiness ensure that the experience deepens with each listen, offering both cognitive stimulation and emotional catharsis. In social settings like festivals or gyms, the crowd reaction potential is immense—participants are likely to experience heightened motivation and flow states due to the music’s dynamic energy and entrancing sound design. In sum, Maor Levi’s “Reflect Reliquified” and “Illumina Reliquified” are not only artistic triumphs but also serve as evidence of music’s ability to enhance human experience, from the dancefloor to the mind-body connection in wellness practices. #PureGold Loveit [/content]

Belgium’s rising drum & bass star Andromedik is ready to take things to the next level. His long-awaited debut album Ascension is out now, followed by a massive solo show in Antwerp on November 1, the next edition of his signature event Andromedik Invites, featuring a heavyweight international line-up.
“Where my Rise EP set the tone, Ascension takes it all the way,” says Andromedik (Axel Demarbaix). “This album shows who I truly am as an artist – from emotional moments to pure club energy.”
Two years in the making. One goal: real music, real emotion.
Ascension took nearly two years to create, born from a point where Andromedik’s songwriting and production hit new heights. The result is a body of work made not for algorithms or DJ tools, but for people seeking energy and emotion.
“I wanted to prove that drum & bass can have real songs – with hooks, melodies and feeling – and still go hard,” he explains.
The album takes listeners on a journey through Andromedik’s full spectrum: from nostalgic nods (Nothing Like You) to high-energy anthems (Stone of Air), emotional cuts (Feelings) and festival bangers (Sunlight).
High-profile collabs: Netsky, Kanine, Lauren L’aimant & more
Ascension features collaborations with some of Andromedik’s biggest inspirations and close friends in the scene. A track with Netsky marks a personal milestone:
“I’ve said in almost every interview that he’s my biggest inspiration,” he laughs.
Other guests include Kanine, Lauren L’aimant – returning for the lead single Only One after their earlier collabs on Comedown and Air – plus Basstripper (BE) and A Little Sound (UK) on the standout tune Sunlight.
With Ascension, Andromedik cements his place among Europe’s drum & bass elite – proving once again that Belgium’s D&B scene is very much alive and kicking.

Following a series of sold-out hard-ticket shows in Belgium throughout 2024, an electrifying tour across Australia and New Zealand, and a standout stage-hosting performance at Tomorrowland, Andromedik has recently brought his wildly popular Andromedik Invites concept to Melkweg Amsterdam.

Acclaimed French DJ and producer Joachim Pastor, revered for charting his own course, presents his new album, PHANTOMGRID. Spanning 10 tracks, the project unfolds as a both sonic and visual journey, exploring themes of memory, reality and perception, fusing experimental electronic sounds with melodic and drum-and-bass elements and setting the stage for Pastor’s next chapter as an artist.
At its core, PHANTOMGRID questions the world as an unseen grid – an underlying framework humanity can only partially grasp. With the album, Joachim Pastor took a solitary, instinct-driven approach, composing much of the music mentally before bringing it to life in the studio. Inspired by his research into the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe (CTMU), the album explores the tension between feeling, knowledge, and the unseen. This research evolved into a study of contrasts – organic versus machine, intuition versus precision, human versus technology – with AI used as a deliberate tool to enhance the product while preserving the music’s raw emotional core.
“I’ve never quite fit within their underground scene, nor the commercial wave of melodic techno that has defined the past decade,” says Joachim Pastor. “Throughout my career, and with PHANTOMGRID specifically, I’ve carved out a distinctive body of work as response to my commitment to stripping music back to its core.”
PHANTOMGRID delivers an atmospheric and cinematic listening experience, featuring tracks like ‘Synthetic Recall’, which marks the closure of the cycle of reflection, before going into the album’s closing track ‘Walk With Me’, hinting at the continuation of Joachim’s story. The lead single ‘Happy Now?’ showcases a warmer, more introspective side of Pastor, highlighting the emotional depth at the heart of his artistry and sharing the artistic vision of 88Birds aka Diana Miro – the sole voice Joachim chose to preserve in its most natural form.
The album’s visual identity, from each single to the final artwork, came together using Pastor’s custom-built Stable Diffusion server. After years of experimenting with AI-generated visuals, he developed a personalized library and interface to suit his creative vision. Each image reflects the album’s internal logic, created with the same mindset of pushing technological boundaries while remaining emotionally grounded. His brand-new live show has evolved in parallel, with Pastor designing custom MIDI controllers and dedicated Ableton plugins to expand his performance capabilities.
Pastor says, “The setup is more hands-on and expressive, functioning like an instrument rather than a traditional computer rig. Though technically demanding, it enables a deeper, more immediate connection between the music and the audience.”
The album will be paired with a documentary offering an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Pastor’s creative process.
Dimitris Kechagias Review: [review top="1"] [item value="10"]Joachim Pastor - PHANTOMGRID[/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]PHANTOMGRID is a cinematic and meticulously crafted album that pushes the boundaries of modern electronic music while maintaining an intimate, emotional core. Below is a track-by-track breakdown exploring the technical arrangements, production techniques, and sonic design choices that make this work stand out. 1. TAKE AWAY THE PAIN, The album opens with a brooding soundscape layered with evolving synth pads and subtle percussive textures. Pastor employs sidechained ambient elements to create a pulsing undercurrent, while the low-end design is warm yet restrained. The track’s arrangement gradually introduces filtered arpeggiators, building tension without relying on heavy drums, a signature of his cinematic approach. 2. FIELD OF SNAKES This track demonstrates intricate sound design, using granular processing on metallic hits and reverberated plucks to reflect its serpentine theme. The stereo field is exceptionally wide, with automated panning giving the impression of movement and unpredictability. Percussion is sparse but impactful, emphasizing dynamic range over density. 3. CARRY ON, A brighter and more melodic track, “Carry On” uses layered synth leads and carefully modulated pads to create emotional resonance. Subtle transient shaping on the kicks and snares ensures clarity, while the vocal fragments are processed with formant shifting and delay feedback to blend into the instrumental texture. This track reflects Pastor’s precision in balancing electronic and organic elements. 4. Happy Now? The lead single is both technically minimal and emotionally rich. Pastor keeps the production clean, allowing Diana Miro’s voice to take center stage. The vocal recording is preserved with minimal post-processing, supported by soft reverb and light compression. The instrumentation features low-intensity rhythmic elements and evolving keys, demonstrating a “less is more” philosophy that highlights the introspective theme. 5. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM, This track explores rhythmic complexity, using syncopated drum programming and multi-layered percussive loops. Sidechain compression between the bass and kick creates a strong groove, while parallel processing on the synth layers gives depth without muddying the mix. The middle section includes glitch-style effects, likely achieved with real-time buffer manipulation or Max for Live tools. 6. NUMBNESS I CANNOT BEAR, An emotionally heavy piece, this track leans on low-frequency drones and subtle orchestral samples processed through convolution reverb. Dynamic swells and filter automation create a feeling of gradual suffocation, aligning with the title. The use of distortion on the sub-bass is controlled and intentional, adding tension without overwhelming the listener. 7. SEEKING SOUL, Built around a hypnotic rhythmic motif, the production here favors evolving textures and mid-range harmonics. Layered delays and carefully controlled reverb tails give the track a floating, ethereal quality. The arrangement feels like a journey, with effective use of automation to keep the listener engaged across its length. 8. SYNTHETIC RECALL, As the penultimate track, “Synthetic Recall” serves as the reflective closure of the album’s narrative arc. Technically, it showcases expert sequencing, with arpeggiators and pads that interlock harmonically. The mix is spacious, with high-frequency elements gently rolling off to create a soft, cinematic fade. The transition into the final track is seamless, demonstrating careful mastering decisions. 9. WALK WITH ME, The album concludes on a contemplative note. The production is stripped back, with a soft piano layer and minimal percussion. Ambient field recordings, likely recorded and processed in Pastor’s custom sound design setup, add an intimate human touch. The track’s mastering leaves generous headroom, allowing the final fade to feel natural and immersive. PHANTOMGRID is a masterclass in balancing emotional intent with cutting-edge production. From his use of custom MIDI controllers and Ableton plugins to the integration of AI-generated visuals, Pastor’s work is as much a technical achievement as it is a heartfelt narrative. The album’s sound design and mixing reflect years of refinement, delivering an immersive listening experience that rewards both casual enjoyment and analytical study. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

About Joachim Pastor
A pillar of the French melodic techno scene, Joachim Pastor first emerged as part of the Hungry Music collective alongside NTO and Worakls. Viewing music as timeless and drawing inspiration from artists like Daft Punk, Sonata Arctica, and Jean-Michel Jarre, he developed a fascination for sound textures and the endless possibilities offered by machines. He explores them, shapes them, and deconstructs them.
Over time, Joachim has become a renowned electronic music producer, known for a distinctive artistic signature: classical, orchestral, and cinematic in his harmonic structures, yet sharp and direct in his melodies. A true perfectionist with a keen eye for detail, he crafts his sound through recognizable arpeggios and cultivates a unique style : hypnotic, elegant, and tinged with nostalgia.
In 2020, he signed with electronic music powerhouse Armada Music and released his debut album Greater Message, a project blending pop influences with prominent vocal features.
The following year, Joachim dropped a series of singles and remixes (notably Season, produced by NTO and French79, and reimagined by Joachim along with Joris Delacroix, Romain Garcia, and Stereoclip). That same year, he also composed the original soundtrack for the documentary The Final Season, chronicling the final racing season of world rally champion Sébastien Ogier. Titled The Winning Line, the score captures the emotional whirlwind of an athlete’s ultimate quest ; filled with suspense, doubt, triumph, and fulfillment.
In 2023, Joachim Pastor released Adrenogate, a four-track EP made for festivals. It reveals a darker, more intense side of the artist, a deliberate contrast to the nostalgic and emotive identity he is known for. He followed it up with Blank Page, an intimate track exploring memory and its degeneration.
Today, Joachim opens a bold new chapter: one that delves into the duality between man and machine, challenging the very foundations of existence. With an insatiable mind and an almost obsessive discipline, the artist embarks on a digital journey ; experimenting with artificial intelligence not only to understand and push its limits, but to merge with it completely. A conscious artistic exploration where technology doesn't replace emotion, but elevates it.
He unveils Phantomgrid in early 2025, followed by Take Away the Pain and Field of Snakes, which hint at a more ambitious project: a new album set to be released at the end of the year.
Today, Joachim Pastor's music reaches over one million monthly listeners on streaming platforms, and his live shows take him across the globe, including Dour, Tomorrowland, Paleo, Solidays, Delta Festival, and more.

Opening the collection, Anjunadeep mainstay Marsh delivers a reimagining of album single 'Sweetest Thing’. Premiered during his set at Gjipe Bay for Anjunadeep Explorations and later showcased at the sold-out Anjunadeep Open Air show at London’s Royal Naval College, Marsh’s remix retains the original’s vocal sample while introducing a bouncing lead and his signature melodic synths.
Next up, UK producer Denham Audio remixes 'The Sky Below’ (featuring ALLKNIGHT) into a drum & bass cut.

Dimitris Kechagias Review: [review top="1"] [item value="10"]Jody Wisternoff - Welcome To My World (Remixed) [/item]
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"] Jody Wisternoff – Welcome To My World (Remixed) is a masterfully curated collection that reimagines the original album through a lens of high-caliber production and genre-spanning creativity, tailor-made for fans of Jody’s deep, melodic sensibilities. Opening with Marsh’s rework of Sweetest Thing, the remix immediately captivates with its polished sound design. Marsh preserves the soul of the original by keeping the ethereal vocal sample front and center, while surrounding it with a lush bed of warm pads and finely textured melodic synths. The track’s bouncing lead is accentuated by sidechained bass swells and intricately filtered percussion, lending a hypnotic groove perfect for late-night sets. Fans of Jody will appreciate how Marsh’s production mirrors the emotional resonance of the original, while elevating it with his signature Anjunadeep sparkle. The energy pivots with Denham Audio’s drum & bass interpretation of The Sky Below featuring ALLKNIGHT. Here, rolling breakbeats and a tightly engineered sub-bass form the rhythmic backbone. The producer skillfully manipulates the vocal stems, weaving in and out of half-time breakdowns and tense build-ups, demonstrating a nuanced command of both atmospheric layering and high-tempo dynamics. The remix’s shimmering pads and subtle reverb tails evoke the cinematic depth often found in Jody’s work, making it a thrilling yet cohesive addition for fans who enjoy his more adventurous side. Blake.08’s reimagining of Rain (feat. Sian Evans) provides a final fresh perspective. This remix is built around a staccato, syncopated bassline that perfectly complements Sian Evans’ emotive delivery. Intertwining arpeggiated synths and delicate percussive elements create a sense of forward motion, while carefully balanced reverb and stereo imaging give the track a polished, immersive quality. Listeners drawn to Jody’s knack for blending melancholy with euphoria will find Blake.08’s treatment particularly satisfying. Overall, Welcome To My World (Remixed) not only pays homage to the emotive core of Jody Wisternoff’s originals but also highlights the technical excellence and sonic storytelling of each contributing producer. For longtime fans, these remixes are a gift—each one offering fresh dance floor energy while keeping the heart of Jody’s world intact. Also included the previously released remixes from Maty Owl, Klangsberg, and Ezequiel Arias. #PureGold Love IT

[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]‘On The Beach’, the timeless classic from York, receives an electrifying reimagining as a full-force drum and bass banger, courtesy of the seasoned maestros, Matrix and Futurebound. Known for their chart-topping prowess, this dynamic duo brings an unparalleled level of technical mastery and innovative flair to the track, seamlessly blending the evocative charm of the original with the pulsating energy of modern electronic production. Diving into the technical intricacies, Matrix and Futurebound employ a meticulously crafted drum pattern, characterized by rapid-fire breakbeats and precision-engineered snares that inject relentless momentum. The bassline, a signature element of their style, is sculpted with razor-sharp modulation techniques, creating a dynamic, rolling undercurrent that anchors the track’s high-octane vibe. Layering plays a pivotal role in the production process. Ethereal synth pads and atmospheric textures are woven throughout, paying homage to York's original melodic motifs while enhancing the sonic depth. The duo employs side-chain compression techniques to create a breathing effect, allowing the kick drum to punch through the dense mix with clarity and impact. Advanced sound design techniques are also evident. Matrix and Futurebound utilize granular synthesis and sophisticated filtering to manipulate vocal chops, adding a futuristic, almost hypnotic quality to the track. This is complemented by strategic automation of effects like reverb, delay, and phasing, which add dynamic shifts and keep the listener engaged from start to finish. The final production boasts immaculate mastering, with a well-balanced frequency spectrum that ensures both the sub-bass and high-end elements shine without overpowering each other. The crystal-clear mixdown, combined with the track’s relentless energy, guarantees a crowd-pleasing anthem that resonates on dancefloors worldwide. ‘On The Beach’ stands as a testament to Matrix and Futurebound’s technical prowess and creative evolution, transforming a beloved classic into a drum and bass masterpiece that captivates both nostalgic fans and new listeners alike. #PureGold Love IT[/content]

Changing Faces, aka Oliver Vasko, makes his debut on Anjunabeats with a fresh drum & bass rework of ‘Rush’ by SØNIN and BLR, featuring vocals from Brieanna Grace.
With over a decade of production experience with some of dance music's biggest names, SØNIN is no stranger to breaking into the charts, with previous tracks ‘Passion’ and ‘Nano’ securing #1 in the Beatport Top 100 Trance charts. His releases have gained support from trance legends such as Armin van Buuren, Jason Ross, Ferry Corsten, W&W and many more. Having recently played Fabric, London as well as multiple US shows on the Anjunabeats After Dark Tour at the end of last year, SØNIN returned to Anjunabeats with a three-way collaboration with ‘Rush’.
BLR, aka Leon Bolier, has worked alongside some of the best in the industry, including Tiesto & John Summit. “‘Rush’ came to be when Anton (SØNIN) sent me an idea he was working on and I got introduced to Brieanna" says BLR. "I forwarded the instrumental idea to Brieanna to work on and the resulting demo was SO good I asked Anton if I could implement my own ideas to this and make this a collab."
Before release, ‘Rush’ had already seen extensive support, being debuted by Above & Beyond at Group Therapy 600 in Mexico City to 14,000 people. Being only one of only two non-Above & Beyond ID's from the vaunted performance, the track was a standout moment in the set. Since its release, the track has amassed over 500,000 streams and gained support from top tier acts such as David Guetta and Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike, just to name a few.
Slovak DJ and producer, Changing Faces has made a growing name for himself in DnB with his production, live shows as well as his work with brands like Allstars and UKF. His recent release, ‘Worlds Apart’, featured notable vocalist Cameron Hayes, who fans might recognise from her previous hit collaborations with Dimension and Wilkinson. With this latest release, Changing Faces continues his rapid growth with his first release on Anjunabeats, offering a new take on a trance main floor banger.
SØNIN & BLR feat. Brieanna Grace ‘Rush’ (Changing Faces Remix) out now on Anjunabeats.
[content title="Summary" label="Overall Score"]Drum N'Bass is experiencing a remarkable resurgence, and the anthem "Rush" by SØNIN & BLR featuring Brieanna Grace has found a dynamic new dimension through the masterful remix by Changing Faces. This version is not just a remix—it's a meticulously crafted sonic journey that elevates the original's core elements while infusing it with relentless energy and precision. From a technical standpoint, Changing Faces demonstrates exceptional prowess in sound design and arrangement. The remix opens with a finely layered atmospheric intro, employing subtle pads and reverb-drenched textures that create a sense of anticipation. The transition into the drop is seamless, utilizing a strategic combination of risers, white noise sweeps, and meticulously timed drum fills that build tension effectively. The drum programming is particularly noteworthy, featuring tightly compressed snares with sharp transients that cut through the mix, supported by rolling, syncopated hi-hats that maintain rhythmic momentum. The kick drum is punchy, sitting perfectly in the low-end spectrum without overpowering the sub-bass, which is rich, warm, and glides smoothly to add depth and movement. Changing Faces skillfully manipulates the vocal stems of Brieanna Grace, applying dynamic EQ, spatial reverb, and slight pitch modulation to ensure the vocals remain front and center without clashing with the dense instrumentation. The use of sidechain compression is evident, allowing the kick to breathe within the mix while maintaining the track’s overall sonic density. The remix’s arrangement supports its cinematic appeal, with well-placed breakdowns that offer a contrast to the high-energy sections. These breakdowns utilize minimalistic elements, such as isolated vocals and ambient synth layers, to create emotional peaks and valleys, enhancing the track’s anthemic quality. In terms of mixing and mastering, the track boasts a crisp, polished finish. The stereo imaging is expansive, with wide panned synths and percussion elements creating a three-dimensional soundscape. The mastering process has achieved a loudness that’s competitive yet dynamic, preserving the track’s intricate details and avoiding the pitfalls of over-compression. Overall, Changing Faces’ remix of "Rush" is a testament to expert production techniques and creative artistry. Its unstoppable drum n' bass energy, combined with cinematic flair and high-class execution, makes it not only a club banger but also a track that could seamlessly fit into a TV series or film soundtrack. #PureGold indeed.
