Remix Monday: NightWaves ‘Fascination’

is a duo consisting of and , on the label . They actually run and Entertainment. Their tracks are out in various singles as well as on the compilation album. nw

. – “Fascination”
Fascination is a syrupy, disco electronic piece. The song rolls a long slowly with extremely youthful vocals, that reach high levels during the chorus. The music is interspersed with spacey, twinkling sequencers that feel extremely ethereal. Fascination is an addictive, moody track that works as a ‘thinking time’ song rather than a song to dance too.

. Remix
fashions his remix in a similar, syrupy, slow paced manner, but makes the intro sound more interesting and upbeat, with lighter and sunnier sounds from sequencers, a harder hitting drum intro and sharper synth presses The vocals run a long in the introspective manner, the music becomes less ethereal, attributed mainly to a heavier percussion beat. This one gets you moving a little more.

. Remix
The mix has an 80s/ feel to it. It could initially pass as a song, with the very 80s synthesizers, the drawn out, emotive touching to the vocals, the deep percussion and the light bass lines. This mix is also faster and lighter than the original, making it progressively more danceable.

. Remix
interestingly start off with string arrangements, making this sound almost like a classical symphony from the 1800s. The rest of the mix runs at this slow pace, picking up ever so slightly in segments as it progresses. The strings never cease yet seem to become more powerful as the speed picks up. The most noticeable aspect to the mix is the lack of significant percussion, which makes it different than most remixes, which really rely upon that, but it is also what drives the originality of this remix.
