Roell Sapphire, Python and Kris B deliver with some of Nightshade's finest remixes to date, complementing these techy melodic progressive originals from Argentina's Camilo (a.k.a. Diego Poblets). Roell Sapphire quite possibly steals the show with his perfectly crafted mix, taking the melodic progression further with a chunky driving bassline, beautiful complimentary melodies and elegant arrangement, creating something new and at the same time familiar, a mix you won't soon get our of your head. 'Deep Blue' is the more melodic of the two, jumping right into the bassline and beats and working up to the arpeggio and pads, big dynamics throughout this infectious slab of progressive tech house. 'Yellow Moon' starts us off with a tech house groove layered with chords and echoey melodic hits over a bouncy bassline, harmoniously combining influences from techno, house and progressive (as we so like to do at Nightshade). The Python Mumie remix takes things much deeper with a minimal shuffly beat and lush soundscapes under verbed out notes of the original. Percussion builds as chord stabs come in, the track builds and swells into a deep progressive masterpiece. Kris B brings some serious funk to the mix, with a monster house beat, funky stabs and a chuggin bassline that keeps things movin and shakin into the big pads of the breaks and the long builds, some perfect dancefloor funk just in time for the boat and beach parties.
