Markus Schulz - I Hear You Calling (Nick Fav Remix)

Markus Schulz's track "I Hear You Calling" has received over 150 remixes in the past month, including one from Italian producer Nick Fav. The vast majority of these mixes appear in Schulz's wavo.me remix competition, which is now in the judging stage, however this particular version is absent from that monstrous list which, for some reason, includes Loud Luxury and Shoffy's "Villains." Although I've highlighted a number of remix competitions on this blog in the past, I've grown weary of putting much stock in the actual winners, almost always finding that the most original and creative tracks get overlooked. In fact I've never found myself voting for any eventual winners, and since Nick Fav's mix isn't in the competition you can chalk up another of my favourite mixes not winning the competition. It's hard to nail down just what Nick Fav was up to with this mix, other than absolutely killing it. He does honour the original by keeping much of the movement and progression intact, as well as CAYO's vocals, but the big booming groove and bounce he adds to Schulz's production gives it a fresh feel. It's progressive and powerful, and above all original and creative. There's still time to check out the 150+ other remixes before a winner is chosen, and you can have Nick Fav's remix for yourself free, here.

NGHTMRE - Holdin' On To Me (Dom Dias Remix)

One of Bump In The Hump's favourite artists, local producer Dom Dias, has thrown his hat into the current NGHTMRE "Holdin' On To Me" remix competition, from Wavo and Mad Decent.
By far the most restrained of NGHTMRE's tracks, it seems to be a perfect fit for Dom's sensibility. Somehow Dom is able to inject both the feelings of somberness yet strength and pride, with his almost elegy-esque procession. With a cathedral worthy sound quality, fronted by an ethereal organ and heart palpitating percussion, the genius of Dom Dias' mix shines through his masterful sound design and conscientious craftsmanship. Mimicking the lyrics, you'll find yourself having a hard time trying to stop the slew of feelings Dom's production engenders. Grab hold of the religious experience that is Dom Dias' "Holdin' On To Me," and never let go of its sentiment, with the free download here. You can also expect to hear this alongside more of the best new Canadian electronic music on Bump In The Hump, this week.
