RELEASE INFO:
"Finland's Timewave has been producing rich and textured progressive trance and lush progressive breaks for the last two years. His debut was for Michael, Levan and Stiven Rivic's Mistique Music with a remix for Namatjira, since then he has gone on to remix Eryo, Solex, Quintax, Marcooz & Gudowski, VG & Dave Sullivan, Michael, Levan & Stiven Rivic. Timewave has also delivered the outstanding 'Ocsillations' EP. Timewave's debut album 'Solar System' delivered beyond all expectations and over the course of 2011 the Finnish producer has seen his productions championed by John OO Fleming and Markus Schulz. He makes his OLD SQL Recordings debut here with his new original ' Operation Hyper' which comes with a great set of remixes from: Airwave, Loquai and Arctic Night.
Timewave's rolling bass line gets the energy flowing early and the large sheets of atmospheric sweeps build the intensity quickly. As the vocal elements and second section of the bass line get dropped in the drive and overall energy just goes sky high, certainly one of Timewave's biggest productions to date. A short drop introduces one of Timewave's biggest Astral Projection like riffs yet and when the chord changes in the bass line come it's an amazing epic and emotional moment. This is huge.
The first remix on the package is supplied by Laurent Veronnez aka Airwave who has been one of the biggest and most prolific trance producers over the last 10 years. His productions on the Bonzai family of labels are legendary and many are regarded as trance classics today. His remix of 'Operation Hyper' is a percussive progressive house masterpiece full of sweeping vocal gates and gorgeous hypnotic bells. The composition builds to a huge climax with large soaring chords and the glassy bells working their hypnotic magic throughout the piece. Outstanding remix from Airwave.
Loquai returns to OLD SQL for his second appearance on the label after his stellar remix of Junitoshi's 'Reborn Of Eclipse' just a few weeks ago. Loquai's 'Operation Hyper' remix comes with a monstrous well shaped bass line with groove to spare, great stabs and the wispy vocal gate as well. The atmosphere of the mix is incredible, it's got that hazy, old school, warehouse type vibe that just sounds perfect for the morning at a big party. Awesome stuff from Loquai.
Closing the package out is Russian producer Arctic Night who is making his first appearance on OLD SQL. Arctic Night has crafted a bubbly sounding groove with big rumbling bass stabs and a great sweeping atmosphere. It's a deep but very powerful interpretation that builds wonderfully as layers of synths get added throughout the piece. The sequence of hypnotic keys sits at the forefront of the breakdown amidst some distorted vocal pads and great chord changes. Amazing atmosphere on this mix from Arctic Night and it just might be one of his best this year."
