Schodt has been one of the leading musicians on Silk since the label's inception, so we were especially thrilled to present his debut artist album ("Darkness | Light") on Silk Royal last year. One of our favorite tracks on the release was "The Difference In You," which we presented as a bonus track on the iTunes edition. Two internationally acclaimed veterans in our niche, Robert Nickson (a.k.a. RNX) and Blugazer, now offer their visionary interpretations.
A true legend in our industry, thanks to many classic works over the past decade prominently featured on "A State of Trance," Robert Nickson is a proud addition to the roster of our parent label. His remix jets out of the gate with a hypnotic arpeggio, adrenalin-fueled rhythm section, and stormy bassline. Of course, soon to follow is the exhilarating vocal stab sequence from the original mix, as well as a euphoric chord progression. In the main break, Robert adds a few brilliant touches: celestial pads and a heavenly new lead.
Blugazer, another tremendous talent who has dazzled trance & progressive audiences for a few years now, offers an inspiring rework of the original, replete with numerous melodic and vocal variations. A chunky groove and a few gorgeous vocal stabs punctuate the introduction, with the memorable main themes not far behind. Yet, the main break is undoubtedly the highlight of this one, as a gentle breakbeat lays the foundation for a breathtaking emotional climax. The combination of the new piano lead and vocal elements is deeply moving and truly unforgettable.
