- This limited edition press featuring two stand out tracks from Vitality (aka Mark Wheawill) have recently gone into circulation. Last year RA reviewed Mark’s debut album which featured a distinct array of tracks reaching many different genres. Here, Mark has opted to remix one of the best tracks of that album, ‘Chemistry’, plus adds a nice production called ‘Blinded By The Sun’.
The Chemistry Club Mix is a big slice of old school synth action tied in with a gorgeous melodic main stay that has the lips whistling along continuously. The mix starts off slow with rolling and sustained sounds alongside an effected bass and melody. As the build finishes, the tracks gets sucked into the main melody along with the old school hooks as the simple beats and percussion float along smoothly. The breakdown gets its own special treatment with nice pads and xylophone samples which add more depth as they are mixed together with the other melodies. As I had said before, Mark’s skills with melody are always infectious and remain the attraction here. Excellent tune.
Blinded By The Sun (Ode to BT) is more a journey into sounds and samples with animal noises and atmospherics teamed up with rolling synths and light melodies. The long build at the start gives the track a good start and when the mix kicks in, the rolling and gritty synths come to the forefront with smooth beats and the remaining animal samples. Lots of nice little melodies can be heard throughout, in the background or out on their own and add nice depth to the mix.
Two solid, original tracks here from Vitality showcasing great productions, especially in the melodic area. If you like your music uplifting, this is for you.
