GEM033 has been expertly crafted by Kassey Voorn.
The Athens based producer is no stranger to Gem as he delivered a spot-on remix for SQL’s ‘Reveal’ in 2013.
Now Kassey returns to Gem with an EP and SQL returns the favour with a remix. Kassy Voorn’s original ‘Search and Destroy’ shows off the skills of a producer known for his emotionally loaded music.
The kick is deep with a silky soft click, the bassline energetic and powerful.
Melodies percussion and high hats are all poured into a perfectly crafted stereo image and the whole package just works beautifully.
But despite the clever production work ‘Search and Destroy’ has such a raw and euphoric edge to it that you find yourself loosing yourself and diving deep into the music.
The track has no long breaks to it, just a repetitive hypnotizing groove and a lead synth that filters in and out creating ecstatic peaks throughout.
SQL’s interpretation has one of the biggest basslines to have been pumped through our speakers in a long time!
Deep and growling below some of the time, but opening up huge and wide numerous times during the track. During the break it’s the melody that screeches its way into the foreground but as soon as the kick returns it’s the bassline that adds the melodic element to the track.
Again an example of expert craftsmanship and a vital festival track!
