Meridian reMixes M83

M83

I have to admit, I haven’t listened to M83’s stunning Midnight City for a while now, I think I just burn myself out on it. You know when you rinse a track so much it starts to become a bit dead, it looses something as you become desensitised to it? I think that’s what happened with me and Midnight City and it’s bjillion associated reMixes of wildly varying quality.

I feel slightly sorry for Belgian producer Meridian in this case. He’s massively late to the “let’s all reMix M83’s Midnight City” party. Everyone had an awesome time, got very drunk, puked on the carpet and went home leaving the place in a state. Meridian has just got here, which is a shame as his reMix is one of the better ones we have heard. A pumping club powerhouse that plays off the now famous riff and drags it straight to the middle of the dancefloor. Big synths and surprisingly slick production rocket this track to the top tier of the Midnight City pile. It’s just a pity the pile is a bit played out.

Meridian reMix Dirty South & Thomas Gold

Dirty South & Thomas Gold

Meridian is back with a new reMix of Dirty South & Thomas Gold (Feat. Kate Elsworth)’s ‘Alive’.

The 22 year old Belgian producer turns in a massive big room mix of the track led by lush pads and piano that sits just right in the mix. With an undercurrent Balearic flowing beneath the big Disco sound the track takes on a peak time summer vibe. No doubt this bodes well for Meridian’s forthcoming single release.

♫ Dirty South & Thomas Gold (Feat. Kate Elsworth) – Alive (Meridian reMix)

Meridian’s new single ‘Mallorca’/’Breakdown’,is out 6th February on Paranoiak, Dirty South & Thomas Gold’s ‘Alive’ is out now.

Meridian reMix Monarchy

monarchy

As more and more reMixes of Monarchy and Britt Love new single ‘You Don’t Want To Dance With Me’ it becomes harder to stand out from the pack. Let’s see if this official mix from Meridian does the job.

It’s actually a pretty straight-up dance mix, which is a good thing as there hasn’t been one yet. It drags the song into the big room for some peak of the night euphoric gold. There’s no surprises here, nothing new, but it has a job to do and does it well. Big sounds, filter sweeps, emotional piano, all present and working together like an oiled dancefloor machine.

♫ Monarchy (Feat. Britt Love) – You Don’t Want To Dance With Me (Meridian reMix)

‘You Don’t Want To Dance With Me’ originally comes from the ‘Around The Sun’ album, out now, the single comes out this month.

Meridian’s ‘Elsewhere’

Meridian’s ‘Elsewhere’ EP is the latest release on French dance label Paranoiak, and is a real stormer.

The title track is a smooth synthesizer workout with a solid Disco beat and some beautiful shimmering 80’s lead sounds. The track works as a summery Dreamwave track but the inclusion of a layer of 90’s House piano takes it to the next level. There is some serious good time vibes going on in this track, you should defiantly check it out. The rest of the EP keeps up the high quality, leaning more to the Electro-House side of things but retaining the euphoria.
