Innerstate - Sundown (Ville Lope Remix) [Echelon]

Here's the second remix I did for finnish Echelon Records.

The original track reminded me a lot of early "A State Of Trance" label's releases back in 2004. I took the melodies, twisted them around a bit, while concentrating on a massive pad-filled breakdown. After the breakdown I mix-n-mash everything up again just to make all the melodies to be introduced again on a minibreak.

This track is truly done for the floor, so if listening at home, please crank up the volume - this track is incredibly bassheavy.

The label said the following: "A rising producer talent from Finland, Ville Lope delivers Sundown in his melodic progressive style. The intro is built on FX sounds and murmurs, then joined by a robust jagged bass line which grinds remorselessly throughout the main parts. The melody themes of the first part of the original mix are presented here in reverse order, and the variation of the bass line gives them a completely different, dark and moody feeling. The track descends subtly into a soft string haven which then beautifully introduces another theme from the original. The second part reminisces on the main themes of the first part intensified with new melodic layers, and the grinding bass escorts the track into outro."
