Benjani – Belvedere (Mac & Monday Remix) [Perfecto]

[Freezer]

Many of you will appreciate the oldschool sound in this one. The main hook is quite simple, but can stuck in your head. Possible grover!

 

[Archon]

I'm liking this! It goes on a bit but the style is great. Something you might've heard in an Armin set in '01, just a bit more melodic and modern. Will wait for a full track as it seems 3 minutes is a bit short for a full judgment of the arrangement (especially in this style).

 

[Freezer]

I think it has been released already. So you can find the full one somewhere

Daaaaaaamn. What a mood-setter. Fluid,liquid,hypnotic.trancy.

Toty/totw nr 2. !

 

[aSeb]

Well hello. Did not see this coming. What a magnificent tune. This should be the standard.

 

[erickUO]

This got groove, love it

 

[MDD]

Nice but the main lead is a bit samey. Appreciate the style though.

 

[Peenuts]

On the whole, this is a fine track. It's still got their trademark sound. The only complaint i have is that the bass is too bloated and drags the track down, and doesn't quite allow the synths to shine through enough.

 

[Julian Del Agranda]

Don't hear in it what you guys seem to hear in it. Not much happening in the whole track. Don't like the high click in the kick.

 

[Daysleeper]

Dissapointed after hearing the hq full on. This had so much potential, but two/three things unfortunaly makes it loose so much I thought it was goign to achive.

Not toty at all.

Don't like the high click in the kick.

Theres no click in the kick. Thats small percussion sounds.

 

[Julian Del Agranda]

I just the mean there's too much high frequency in the kickdrum. I call that the clicky part of the kick.

hmm, i really dont hear any high frequencies in the kick. Its just a more oldschool-ish harsher kick. But i dont produce so you prlly know what you talk about.

 

[Julian Del Agranda]

you prlly know what you talk about.

You're a wise man my friend.

 

[PegaSus]

One of the lesser remixes/tracks from Mac&Monday. Not much happening unfortunately.

 

[s3baman]

Overall, the groove is really nice but I agree it's not the best piece of music that he's given us over the years. I really enjoy that simple riff and typical piano elements in the climax. I think in a set, as a filler track, this would sound much better than as a standalone production. Not all tracks need to grab your attention and bring you on a roller-coaster.

The most important thing is that M&M is back, this is the first of at least 3 releases if my count is right. There's the Activa collab and also the ID from Activa's Lumi 2020 set which is an incredible uptempo masterpiece if you ask me.

 

[Reptile]

Awesome remix.

 

[Propeller]

The remix deserves a lot of praise for its style. Very old school, LOTS of nice little touches, builds and progresses nicely.... basically a lot of effort has been put into in. Main melody is nothing spectacular but works well.

The original is pretty good too

Edit - the original is better

 

[Freezer]

Original is nice, but I still prefer the remix, for the very authentic trance sound from back in the days
orig 7
remix 8

 

[Hensmon]

Really nice track. Had potential to be so much more though, and I find the main melody a bit too basic and repetitive. Even so its classic MnM sounds and it works well mixed in and around other tracks. Had this one a few times now in the week and its been growing on me more and more.
