Younger Days

Here's a little story that must be told as this one resembles the good old pre-internet days of the music industry when upcoming artists actually were honing their skills in the studio and sending out demos to record labels to get signed. And although it doesn't happen too often these days anymore this approach still can pay off, especially as this is the way Pazkal ended up to be signed on Formatik Records with his first single „Younger Days“. Coming on strong with a quite infectious groove and catchy main motif the young Swiss producer gets a pretty sweet TechHouse vibe going in the original version of „Younger Days“ whilst tweaking on some Latin drums and cowbells that provide a foundation for a hefty portion of Soul as well as some massive sweeps for big room audiences. Next up we see Mr. Alec Troniq on remix duties bringing on a more techy and hollow vibe, focusing on the lower mid-range of the sonic spectrum and stripping things down a little. Adding up some clonky, muscular percussive elements and slightly aggressive distortion to his version he finds a very special way to blend in the epic vocal bits into a heaving Techno peaktime vibe for all those DJ's willing to surprise their crowds every now and then. Finally we've got Tobi Kramer providing his version of „Younger Days“ which stays closer to the original TechHouse vibe and carefully adds a few new elements like a new, epic synth melody, massive breakdowns and - sic! - heavy snarerolls for maximum dancefloor impact whenever this one is played out on a large P.A.. Sometimes it's the small changes that have a massive effect.
