And We're Back! Saturn (Jay Cosmic Remix) & Rewind (Mikkas Remix)!

Sorry about the lack of posts in the last month or so!  All of us here at the LEL have been super busy with the end of the semester and the last thing anyone wants to do after a long day of studying is to write some more....but now that its summer again we are hopefully gonna get back into the swing of things here: I can't speak for anyone else, but expect to see a lot more posts from me in the next little while!

We've had a couple of amazing weeks since our hiatus haven't we? Just trying to catch up with some of the events in the last little while, so today I'm coming at ya with a couple of heavy remixes that I discovered listening to the UMF live stream a couple of weeks back.  I found a lot of great music over those weekends, but these are arguably my favorites (other than that new "Never Say Goodbye" Hardwell/Dyro song...that song is getting is own post), and have been constantly in my playlists since then.

First up is Jay Cosmic's remix of "Saturn", by Kill the Noise.  My fucking GOD I love this song.  I can't remember what set this was in (Knife Party's?), but I remember the crowd going fucking mad, and for good reason!  There is so much energy in this remix that its impossible to not jump around.  Try not to, I dare you!  And that sharp electric-y drop is just so satisfying! Its like someone hooked up a car battery to your ears or something.  And hearing "LETS GO NOW!" right before that?  Mother fucking shivers man.





Next up is Mikkas' remix of "Rewind" by Emma Hewitt.  I had the pleasure of going to see Emma live at the beginning of the year, and don't get me wrong, she put on a fantastic show; I gained a whole new appreciation for vocal trance.  To me though, I find that her amazing voice is best implemented by other producers, and this is the perfect example.  I have to admit, I don't really know Mikkas very well, just this and his "Unison" remix, but I definitely want to look into him more after this.  I absolutely love how he takes Emmas serene voice and makes it darker; gives the whole thing a more energetic vibe, like a teeth-grindy face-clenchy heavy that just makes you want to groove.  Pretty sure this was number 1 on beatport for a while or something...so you don't have to just take my word for it!
