With his brand new artist album coming out this August here is the first single to be released from it featuring the vocal talents of Jessica Sutta.
Paul van Dyk albums and compilations always get people talking. His forthcoming artist album looks to be something a bit special and he has been ramming new tracks from it in his sets for months now. You might have heard this one in a few of his live performances and Radio shows. It's White Lies and its his first single release to be took from his new album.
:: Berllin Vocal Mix :: L.A. Mix :: Berlin Mix
If I'm reading the release right it seems Paul enlisted the help of Alex Morph for the Berlin mixes on this release. He's a very good producer in his own right so what did he come up with when creating music in the studio with Paul?
The Berlin mix is a fusion of fast paced energy with Jessica Sutta providing a very catchy vocal telling a story as the track goes on. As you would expect from the Dyk track its banging from the outset with a deep bass driven riff behind the beat and clap. The riff changes tone when the vocal cuts in until the beat cuts with just the vocal left. The beat slams back in as the vocal cuts out with the build featuring plenty of beat stabs to keep the pace of the record up. The main break in the track has a dreamy piano riff that slides into the distance with the vocal taking over when the beats banging away adding that catchy element to the track. The beat is tough and strong with the vocal done nicely. If the vocal element in the track is not for you the Berlin Mix is what you want, just banging beats and pumping melody.
The L.A. mix is what you may well hear on the radio as the radio edit is cut from it. It’s got an electro style on it with a deep house sounding beat and stringy percussion with techy bass changes on the vocal. The riff in here is good but if you were to slam it you could say the vocal is there a bit too much. The mix breaks in the middle to a string of filtered sounds and atmospheric influences before the deep beat kicks in and your left with a tasty deep electro edged riff.
Conclusion:
Good work from Paul here. The Berlin mix is the mix you will want to check out as the L.A. mix is more Radio friendly than pounding trance you expect from a Dyk Record. It sets up a good impression of what you can expect from his album, worth grabbing this one.
