Next on Nightshade Limited, we bring you a fine piece of melodic progressive from Lithuania's M&D Substance. The original mix is housey beats and pumpin progressive bass, layered with driving chords spacy harmonics and dissonent bells for a superb melodic structure. Kris B v Nosmo (Globael Underground, Armada) took a melodic techno approach, taking inspiration from Tiger Stripes & Sasha, big techy beats flow into a deep hypnotic triplet melody, and come to a halt once the bass drops big. hints of the original bells bend and swirl over huge dynamics throughout. Camilo took a more stripped down, techy progressive approach, highlighting the original melodies, adding lush strings to the break. Channel Surfer (Armada) capitalized on the dramatic progression of the original, and took it a few steps further with his trance remix, builds, rushes, and even and old school 303 in this peak time trance mix. Jason Killgore rounds out this package, with a glitchy, bass driven progressive mix, adding an extra layer of snarl and grit. Early support from Martin Garcia & Moshic.
