Yesterday, Miami's Lookas and his track "Samurai" received a remix from young Austrian producer, Michael Gössler aka Bass System. The two-tiered trap track is available for free download now.
Already one of the best tracks from Lookas always improving collection, the added touch from Bass System boosts the track to an almighty oblivion. Its got the intensity and precision of an unholy army on the march, that seems to bend time and space like a combination of The Matrix and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. It is clear to hear Bass System's dubstep background, with the wobbling bass that so perfectly depicts the Samurai's swordplay. With the trap strings, painting the track with eastern influences, Bass System's version of "Samurai" showcases the kind of skill that takes years to master. I'm not saying Bass System is yet a full fledged Samurai master, yet his tutelage is well underway.

Just A Gent - Heavy As A Heartbreak (Lookas x SMLE Remix)
Supporting the despondent lyrics of the original, Lookas and SMLE start their mix with devastatingly downtrodden chords and anguishing atmosphere. Strings and bells ring out in a hollow existence, slowly gaining intensity and drive, hitting the first muted drop, accentuated by the greatly manipulated and gaunt feeling vocal "Heavy as a heartbreak." Where the first drop is far more subtle and restrained, the second hits hard with wobbling and throbbing dubstep bass. The disparity between drops and overarching movement of the track is the magic behind this production; phenomenal storytelling highlighting the extraordinary vocals. Perhaps best seen in the juxtaposing drops, the first still seems to maintain some hopefulness and humanity, which has all but disappeared in the anger and devastation endemic in the dubstep drop; screaming ever so painfully at an uncaring world. A tremendously beautiful depiction of the grieving inherent in the human condition, "Heavy As A Heartbreak" can now be streamed both on soundcloud and Spotify.
