3kStatic are back on Nightshade, following a new album on Sony Music, a spot on the Grammy ballot and last years successful remix collaboration w/Nightshade. We're very pleased to be offering the exclusive remixes from their forthcoming single "Projected Tones". We have a different roster of remixers on this one, suited to the housey vibe of the original. First up, label heads Kris B & Nosmo did a Tom Middleton/Cosmo's inspired remix, lots of shuffly flanged out percussion, a funky wah bass, filterd loops and big dynamics. Jeff Devas makes his return to Nightshade, now producing under his real name Jeff Varisco, with a peak time progressive/electro house monster. Funky house drums give way to a massive slammin bassline which moves smoothly into a bright arpeggiated riff. Rounding out this release is Aaron Lee's 'rub a dub club' mix, adding some power and energy to the melodies of the original for a more pumpin dancefloor friendly interpretation.
