That's amazing.

I really like how none of these remixes sounds generic. They are all offering something extra/different. Obviously, this label does not go for 138-steroid-genericness, so perhaps that'ss to be expected. But in general, it's cool to see such a wide ranged package without any genericness on it.

I also really like how we all three did small adjustments on that main melody and they all sound good. Hell even Narel's ambient version contains that cool bleepy layer that could be seen as adjustments to that main melody.

It's difficult changing a melody of a track, as you worry about the original producer raising their eyebrow. You don't want to ruin it. So it has really to fit and sound good. And I think in all versions the small changes to the melody really work well. I think I appreciate the Facade one the most. The changes he did reaaallly work well. In case you wonder: in my remix, the first part is the original melody, but then from 4:10 on it's "with small changes".

Hoopoe and Facade are both great producers so their work sounds great. I'm glad my version kinda holds up among the others, if I may say so myself. Hehe.

Great work everyone! Yeah interesting that we all made our own little changes to the main lead. Tried to go with a bit of a coldharbour/probspot vibe with mine
that's exactly one of the things I did say myself as soon as I've got the full package ready and it does show the really GOOOD job done by label's A&R who happens also to be co-producer of the original single and of the ambient rework too. Damn, @Narel too many things dude to remember you for...stop it! :ROFLMAO:💪
I liked all the versions, great job guys! Maybe the Facade version will be my favorite because of its deep groove
Fantastic mixes, all of them for different reasons.
Can't wait for the release!
Hard to pick a favorite, each remix each has its own charm and all of them sound incredible.
Again, thanks a lot everyone for sharing this. 🙏🙏

The best promo I can even ask for, as coming from genuine people rather than spoiled A-list kids of the mainstream and underground scene.

One last thing I'd like to say about this release is that I am proud to not having felt any need of adding steroid stuff in there and show that you can still produce (and release) top level Trance music without sticking to the spotify-tiktok Trance generation. ✌️

Definitely no eyebrows raised from me on the melody changes - they are all spot on and I love hearing reinterpretations of the original. i'm humbled actually with these awesome remixes that all have something special about them. Top work all round! I have a different favourite every time I listen, depends on the day!

Nice remixes here. Proper progressive from Façade and some classic vibes from Julian too (hoping there's more tunes from you to come btw!, was listening to A New World again the other day).

Also I love little melody changes, even if it's the same as the original at first and then has like an unexpected but really cool twist in it. Can catch you out but in a good and excitable way :)
