Review: New year new remixes of Paul Okenfold's all time classic "Southern Sun", this time from the UK's Matt Darey. In this take Darey delivers a 'Chill mix'' that sees the original's vocal given front position as deeper synths, slower drums, and spaced rhythms navigate their way through the shaded atmospheres of the truly nebulous bluster Darey has cut and shaped from this timeless classic. Euphoria from the depths.
Review: There are very few times where you produce a tune that doesn't fade away or become tired. A man who never seems to do anything but this is Matt Darey, and for his latest on S107 he looks back to 2009's enchanting vocal winner 'See The Sun' (originally under his Urban Astronauts guise, of course). The glorious musical elements of the original and Kate Louise Smiths stunning vocal are still in tact, as Egyptian Hazen Beltagui manages to capture the original essence and emotion whilst bringing a fresher proggy edge, bang up to date for the floors of now. See it more as a fresh lick of paint rather than a whole new trakc. If you want a bit more energy and punch Toby Hedges delivers on both counts with his cut, while completing the package is yet another faultless production from that Russian pair Moonbeam.
