Precisely five years and one hundred releases on from the original melodic charm of Quivvers exceptional Takin Over (BEDDIGI65) original conjuring up magical images of sun-drenched Ibiza beach parties, the globally renowned musical innovator returns to Bedrock with his inspired Takin Over 2020 and invites the uniquely exciting Giorgia Angiuli and Vincenzo to further explore alternative moods with their remix skills.
Quivvers Takin Over 2020 rework has captured the timeless quality that immediately sets his finest productions apart from so much of todays disposable mass music production line. His ability to create a simple melody and then absolutely perfect it to every degree imaginable is untouchable. Here, he adds pace and punch in perfect proportions, as the track builds with a purring urgency in an intricate, ever-evolving arrangement, whilst retaining its original, deeply haunting timeless beauty.
The past year has seen a stream of excellent releases from Giorgia Angiuli, the uniquely talented Italian composer and multi-instrumentalist, on the likes of Einmusika, Warung, Stil Vor Talent and Systematic. By wrapping her vibrating and energetic groove around a heavy, pulsating kick, on an expanding evocative bed of humming, swirling synth lines and allowing the distinctive, beautiful melodious Takin Over hook to peep out of the musical whirl, Giorgia creates a deliciously feisty remix, taking the track in an entirely fresh and firing direction.
In perfect contrast, as a prolific master of the deeper end of the house music spectrum, Vincenzo conjures up a distinctly soulful mood, coupled with his trademark pulsating electronic vibe. From the opening resonant kick and hi-hat build, he masterfully morphs Takin Over into a uniquely vociferous version. His is an unhurried, deeply emotional take that captures the originals laid-back, mesmeric beauty to perfection. As finales go, it would be hard to top the renowned Berlin-based producer when hes on such fine form.
If you're expecting Sasha's trademark progressive house/trance on his latest release, you will be sorely disappointed. Pivoting from-and deliberately not creating the status quo of electronic music-Sasha curates a lavish landscape that delves into avant-garde and "anti-dance dance music' territories with this stunning release of lush ambient soundscapes, surrealist breakbeats, subterranean techno, and laid back downtempo cuts. This is a deep, contemplative music you can dance to, sort of. DAS VILLAIN
Absolutely massive! Wow, always hoped breaks would make a comeback and this track is giving me life right now. Thank you for this gift of an EP and would love to hear a full album from you two - perfect pairing of styles <3. Duke DuRock
I bought the record because it's stunning. So lush, with lovely layered textures. At times it's grand and emotional and restrained and tempered in other moments. I just realized that there was a code included in the package. Thanks so much. Clarisa Kimskii
Once again it’s Sasha in the studio, producing high quality electronic music. This EP captures the essence of Sasha in the club’s recently, with some fantastic little gems of extended mixes and pure club ambience of new music. I absolutely look forwards to any Sasha release because you know your going to get quality, incredible sounding well thought out tracks. TerryDunlin
