Denis A – Sith Remixes

Denis A’s DAR and DARDIGITAL labels are on a creative roll in 2011, having already unleashed a series of stunning tracks and making their mark around the globe with each new release. Now Denis A has commissioned this superb bumper package of remixes of his mighty ‘Sith’ (the original version, an intense percussion led throb monster with a superb breakdown, appeared on DAR016) to highlight the plethora of new talent coming through the DAR ranks. Here are 10 stunning adventures in new electronic dance music.
Denis A – Sith (Minitronix Remix)
In January, 2010 two DJ/producers from Omsk(Russia) – Andrey Labuzov (Andrey SeaMan) and Vladimir Samoylov (DJ Samoylov) combined their efforts in producing electronic music and created a new project – Minitronix – through which they are producing techno influenced music. Their interpretation of ‘Sith’ is a veritable powerhouse of brooding menace with a huge, swirling breakdown and masses of energy.
Denis A – Sith (Madeira Remix)
Madeira (aka German Shahnov) made his DAR debut with ‘Original Sun’ and ‘Radar’ (DARDIGITAL003) in March 2011. His style edges towards a more minimal stripped-back hypnotic take on electronica and this remix is bold and beautifully simple. German Shakhnov, DJ and sound producer, is another rising star of the new Russian electronic music scene. He is the presenter of his own radio show, ‘Mady Mady’, which is broadcast every Thursday on Garage FM based in Moscow.
Denis A – Sith (Dapple Apple Remix)
Dapple Apple is a young DJ and producer from Ukraine. He made his first steps onto the electronic stage in 2006, when his tastes were focused on trance music. But his strong desire for experimentation and love to deep sounding music made him change direction to a more esoteric style. As you can hear here, his music is full of emotion, uplifting harmonics, breathtaking atmospheres and sophisticated cinematic style.
Denis A – Sith (Fran Von Vie Remix)
Those with an ear for the underground will already be well aware of Fran Von Vie’s stunning remixes of Tech D’s ‘Subway’ (DARDIGITAL004) and Taboo’s ‘Epic Dream’ (DARDIGITAL005), and know that this is a producer who is tipped for great things.
He’s always looking for new sounds and structures, doesn’t believe too much in genres, just in making things from the heart, because music is supposed to be felt, not necessarily, to be understood. Here, he works his magic on ‘Sith’, stripping it back and giving it an uplifting intensity in the final third that lifts it to another level.
Denis A – Sith (Spartaque “In Concept” Remix)
Vitaliy Babiy (aka Spartaque) is a Ukrainian DJ/producer. His energy style is full of energy and bounce and his interpretation of ‘Sith’ exhibits a healthy knowledge of dancefloor dynamics, which is probably why he currently occupies third place in the Russian PROMO DJ ratings.
Denis A – Sith (Mango Remix)
Hailed as one of leaders of the modern progressive sound, “Mango” (a.k.a. Alex Golovanov from Russia) is making a name for himself blending emotive melodies with a unique combination of progressive, electro, and tech house sounds. His remix of ‘Sith’ is a perfect uplifting summer melodic beauty. Keep an eye on this guy.
Denis A – Sith (Tesla Remix)
Tesla is another rising star of the Russian electronic scene and his energetic attitude is winning many fans worldwide. Powerhouse progressive house music is the name of the game and Tesla adds vocal snippets and enough twists and turns to make his remix of ‘Sith’ one to remember.
Denis A – Sith (Igor Cold Remix)
Denis A selected Igor Cold’s ‘She’s So Spacey’ to launch the DARDIGITAL label at the start of the year, and this highly talented future star from the Russian scene has now returned with an outstanding remix of ‘Sith’, exhibiting a musical maturity way beyond his years. His grasp of the subtle layering of grooves and melodies shines through in a highly hypnotic way. This is a track that will find favour with all open-eared, electronic music lovers everywhere. Igor Cold is DJ/producer based in South Russia. His live performances embracing atmospheric and meditative techno / tech / progressive house, are gaining him much kudos on the rapidly growing Russian music scene. He also has his own show called “Somebody’s Story” on Proton Radio.
Denis A – Sith (Mays & Partique Remix)
Rusian Mays was born in 1981 in Odessa City, the most beautiful city in Ukraine, and realized from a young age that his destiny lay in DJing and producing electronic music. He has presented his own radio show “The Real Techno Mix” for the past 7 years, and it remains one of the most popular to this day and he is consistently voted at the top of national DJ polls. His techno-influenced music is a fusion of groovy, minimal, electro tech styles and his collaboration with fellow Ukrainian DJ/produver Vladimir Partique is a genre-blurring experiment that will impress.
Denis A – Sith (Salt’n'Sugar Remix)
Salt’n’Sugar is a Ukrainian electronic project founded by DJ/producer Stas Drive, who has linked up with Nikolay Cola. Together, they have made a great contribution to the development of their national progressive and techno scene and have now developed a live show to take their performances to the next level. Their melodic uplifting gently percussive remix of ‘Sith’ is a fitting finale to this bumper package of remixes from the rising stars of the future.
