Memnon Feat Julie Mays "Eclipse"

Having remixed BT’s Godspeed and achieving great success with ‘Desire’, Memnon returns to Music Now to deliver a new single, ‘Eclipse’. Holmes D. Ives, also producing under such alias’ as POD, Aurora & OVA, presents a track with an eerie vocal accompanied by a mighty bass line. "Eclipse" comes in four mixes, all of which trade off gorgeous vocal samples, energetically deep bass and luscious drum programming.

The Original Mix is a full on progressive trancer with all of the right elements to create a euphoric dance floor sensation. The synths swirl with the vocal stabs giving the track a dark, dreamy illumination that approaches that of James Holden.

The Dub kicks it in a bit harder with a driving snare laden drum track. The sparse vocal sample hauntingly blends in and out of the gritty synth line. This mix packs more power than the vocal mix which would fit well into any peak time set driving the dance floor bonkers.

The second set of mixes come courtesy of Luzon, the man behind the smashing ‘The Baguio Track’. The vocal mix is a fierce tribal approach to the track while bringing out the vocals full force. The tribally influenced beat drives full on with the talented voice of Julie Mays floating on top leading to a storm of percussion in the breakdown. The Dub has the same elements as the remix minus the vocals (of course).
