"Everything Changes" from Dario D'Attis, Jinadu as remixed by Chus & Ceballos. Try saying that three times fast.
OK seriously, I'm pretty sure I got this from a Nora en Pure set and it's typical of a lot of things I've been listening to. It tends to get labeled "melodic techno" or "vocal trance" depending on which way the mix leans. Either way it's often easy listening, often energetic, and sometimes hits me right in the feels.
Despite this being a short mix, it has a really good sustained build. There are restful bits, but I really like the way the mix pushes through.

"We Are All Lost" is another one in the same vein. Any link between the titles of these two tracks and the year 2020 so far is mmmm not even vaguely coincidental. This one is very definitely on the techno side, with a nice dipping of beats and minor-key tones from the dark side. Stil vor Talent is a music collective/label out of Germany (https://www.stilvortalent.de/). They have a number of videos linked from their front page that are worth at least a scan, if this style is your style, too.

OK let's kick it up a notch with a remix by one of my 2020 favorites Miss Monique. Here she's working over "My Own Time" from Darin Epsilon. The original (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ospgHnQHvjQ) from 2018 is a bit thumpier and doesn't feature the vocals as well. I think Monique's remix improves it considerably.

I forgot I had stashed this one, found while looking up Giolì & Assia material. If I'd found it earlier, well I would have known more. But you can't have any doubts after watching this video. Except, what's with the horse? I don't get that bit.

A track I bookmarked early in the pandemic lockdown. A lot of these distributed group performances came out, professionally mixed. BBC 1 absolutely knows what they're doing here and the cast rises to the occasion in this cover of a Foo Fighters classic. I can't say enough good about this kind of effort, and this kind of music. Yes, I do appear to have something in my eye.

Date: 2020-09-01 07:28 pm (UTC)"We Are All Lost" - great beat. Nice n' trancey to start. Good content and because I've got a grain of optimism I'm spinning the minimalist lyrics as a "yeah, isn't that true? What is direction, anyway..."
"My Own Time" Monique's remix - definitely a good one.
Giolì & Assia -- not a favorite for me for them. I don't understand anything about the video other than "these 2 women are in a romantic relationship"-- but the Black dancers felt like props for the sake of it and for sure not sure what's up with the horse.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GElP4YdrBE -- wondering if I sent that one to you? I remember watching it early on and loving it. I feel like that I was sewing a new mask while I watched/listened was ON POINT. Still love it. Feeling oddly nostalgic for early pandemic days, just goes to show my brain is a weird place.
