Ararat
Arram Mantana is one of the best-known names on the Russian electronic scene. He started his career in early 90's in St. Petersburg kicking off "Son of a Pitch" parties while weaving his Armenian roots and psychedelic mood into his music. Tripmastaz Russia's best kept secret, from day 1 concentrated on groovy,freaky beats & unusual moods. Tripmastaz doin' his thing 24/7, working hard on the music and beats, no day offs, no holidays- every beat is a nu story...for 2009 Tripmastaz stays vertical,keep bubbling & hustle hard, taking u to Ararat.. Original Mix Soft techno electronic loop, snaps and drums evolve together sweatly sustained by horns till the beat eclipses to open to a psychedelic atmosphere. Horns strongly design the folk theme of this track built like a slow step by step climbing of Ararat.. Tripmaztaz Rmx & Arram Fire Dub Rmx Tripmaztaz serves us a straighter housy vision.. This softer freaky electro side of the mountain keeps the slow building vibe psychedelicly driven to the top of the hill.. The Fire Dub remix is a more minimal sight, hypnotic from its start using all ingredients from loop to atmosphere to take us on a journey into sounds and drums. Mind drilling, spacy, harmonic.. Delightfull as we might say!!! Ararat here we come!! Audio Soul Project Rmx Master Mazi, always classy, has chosen a nice house vibe to reveal the folk mood of this Ararat EP.. Housy as we like it, a touch of jazz, vocal gimmick and acoustic piano and horn riffs are enchanting this happy pumpin way to the top of the sacred armenian mountain.. Pig & Dan Remixes As we could expect, Pig & Dan remixes are powerfull and strongly driven, from the begining the tone is given: high and heavy, some real Pig & Dan!! Techno drum kit, keyboards, neverending trippy leads, four minutes of set up and here you go, stomping your feet, craving for the next act.. As the tension rises again playing with frequencies the keyboard trancy techno theme appeals the next track to be mixed.. Let's get the party started!! For those who like light track endings, the dub version is served without the keyboard.. Enjoy the P&D Dub meal..
