44BEATZCAST 25:11
An eclectic fusion of electronica, indie disco, house, trance, techno, and Brit pop across 14 tracks. Drop out with Shayan’s deep prog-house vibes on “Free Fall”, get swept away by Afro Celt Sound System’s drum-driven “North”, and dance to Empire Of The Sun’s anthemic synth-pop on “We Are The People.” Highlights include Maya Jane Coles’ remix of Florence & The Machine’s “Spectrum ” and Tiësto’s soaring rework of Delirium’s “Silence. 25:11 also showcases Natalie Gioia’s “No Fear”.
“Free Fall” by Shayan ignites warm progressive house beats, before “North” from Afro Celt Sound System layers tribal worldbeat textures. Natalie Gioia’s “No Fear” provides lift, then Empire Of The Sun’s “We Are The People” offers glossy synth-pop. Florence & The Machine’s “Spectrum (Maya Jane Coles Remix)” seals the opening with deep, hypnotic house energy.
Ambient calm arrives with Kotiēr’s “Lēthē”, then CamelPhat’s “Shelter” drops driving bass and taut percussion. Carl Craig’s “At Les (Christian Smith’s Tronic Treatment Remix)” crescendos with in Detroit techno light while Tiësto’s “Silence (DJ Tiësto In Search Of Sunrise Remix)” sweeps in trance-tinged emotion. Ken Ishii’s “Awakening (Christian Smith & John Selway Remix) caps the mid-set.
We switch gears with Yello’s “The Race (Break Light Remix)” injecting playful electro momentum reminiscent of 1990s, followed by Lusid’s chilled “Sunday Afternoon” for reflective breakbeat calm. Der Dritte Raum’s “Pictureoftheday” delves into minimal dub techno depths, and Pulp’s “Got to Have Love” closes with Brit pop soul. A nice warm glow.
