I was blogging yesterday, writing an article about sake bombs when I decided to turn on my Myspace Account account in order to listen to some music. I ended up searching through my friends list for a bit (which I highly recommend you do if you are interested in finding some good bands). I then came across MKrecords. I found the remixes to be quite good. But one track in particular got my attention. It was “Walking on Clouds”, a track by Tiesto remixed to perfection by Skreech!
“Walking on Clouds” is a track that was made by Tiesto with vocals that are delightful to listen to. The way the female vocalist bounces around airy soprano tones along with the beat fills the music with a relaxed driving pulse. Tiesto’s original version is amazing to listen to and I’d recommend it to any lover of trance or female vocalized dance music.
But what I truly want to talk about is how Skreech amazingly remixed the track. Skreech gave “Walking on Clouds” a solid backbeat that contrasts with the synth sounding strings that fill the background. There is symbiosis that occurs between the beat and the vocals that is challenging to describe with words. But here goes, when the vocalist sings her high notes at 2 minutes and 6 seconds she swings her beautiful pitches across the grand staff. The listener doesn’t care about time. You will be sucked into the music and drift with her enchanting voice with the beat as your only anchor in reality. All you will do when you hear this remix is want to push the repeat button. I can’t tell you how many times I dragged the play-head scroll button back to the beginning of the song. It’s that good.
But remixes aren’t the only thing Skreech can do. The artist makes original music that seriously rocks and pumps up the body and mind. I recommend that you visit Skreech’s Myspace Page. Here you will find the track, “Gitty up.” This song is superb. It opens with some ambient sounds that comfortably entice the listener. Then at about 1 minute the track revs up with a tight guitar lick backed by an up-tempo hi-hat-kick drum combination that makes you want to either get up and dance or else put your fists up and get ready to practice some karate or kick-boxing. The track makes it impossible to avoid moving your feet. I found myself at 3 minutes stomping along to the beat with my right foot, while my left nervously kept the hi-hat running. At about 4 minutes there is a spooky breakdown powered by synth-like horn and it beckons a pulse pounding break beat.
I want you to visit Skreech on myspace now if you don’t have them already added as your friend. The music is great and and if you visit MKrecords you’ll see how they did more than justice to “Walking on Clouds” by Tiesto.
