Strange Nation
It's been about a little more than a year since Copenhagen-based producer Denis Horvat released his sophomore single „Heist“ via Upon.You and now it's time for the talented and ever busy Dane to make a 2015 comeback to the family with „Strange Nation“, his latest digital single release. With the title track „Strange Nation“ the Danish producer starts things with pounding, reverberating big room drums and a lot of punch, before spaced out, corresponding yet slightly off-kilter synth lines start floating through a multidimensional universe, accompanied by seductive, dub'ish chords and a melancholia-induced low end. A deep, sonic double helix of a kind and a mesmerizing journey that could go on forever. The remix version of the title track is crafted by the Munich-based SHOW-B , backed by releases on labels like Poker Flat Recordings or Compost Records, and unveils an edgier, techier side of „Strange Nation“, bringing in dangerously warped subs and a more abstract, slightly 'troity touch to the carefully altered melody sequence. Prime time power detected here. Also on the musical menu is the SHOW-B Dub of „Strange Nation“, a variation as intense and as powerful as TechHouse can ever get and a sureshot on the dancefloor for a reason. With „Purple Fiction“ Denis Horvat enters tropical realms with loads of shaker action, additional ultra-compressed bassdrum punches and ecstatic vocal snippets living up to the plead for total ecstasy on the dancefloor and the energy provided by steaming hot sawtooth synth sweeps, morphing and meandering all over the bass side of the sonic spectrum for ultimate pleasure purposes. Finally the Sub37 Edit of „Purple Fiction“ keeps up with the tropical shaker vibes of the original cut but comes up with a slightly distorted synth line morphing back and forth from low end distortion crescendoes to clearly Acid-reminiscing segments building up vigorously for maximum dancefloor peaks that this track is about to cause for sure.
