Search - Kazell :: Driven

Driven opens on an atmospheric note with an original production by Hiratzka & Kazell entitled 'Venice Dawn.' The spoken word a cappella from Audio Soul Project's 'Community' is layered over this lush instrumental to become a new mantra for electronic dance music. The ethereal melodic elements from 'Venice Dawn' continue on, adding new dimension to Schatrax's 'Mispent Years.' This three-part overlay culminates with the uplifting ethnic vocals and bumping bass of Casa Flava's 'De Moma De.' From here Kazell shifts into a wicked tribal groove, with the dark mysterious effects and haunting vocals from Jay Tripwire's 'Witches Brew' conjuring up images of the jungle?s heart of darkness. Building into Amani vs Teapot's 'Calling on My Roots,' the mix kicks into the tech house swing of Aquaculture's 'Don?t Play The Game,' then smoothly transitions into Chris Lake's stunning breakbeat remix of Ictus - 'The Look.' Moving into a slightly deeper vibe, the driving beats of Minilogue's 'Pixelised' lead us into the underwater grooves of Oil & Water's 'Floating on Top.' This exclusive studio edit uses the dubbed out vocals from 'Calling On My Roots' and 'Community,' as well as percussive elements from 'Witches Brew', finally kicking things into high gear with the introduction of the thumping bassline from Bjorn Mandry - 'Time Factor.' The progressive vibe continues to develop with the upcoming Velocity Records / Black Label release by Hiratzka & Kazell, 'Prime,' and in the final stretch the mix features an amazing mash-up of Madoka's 'Plataforma' and Sasha's 'Artificial Heart.' Here, the arrangement is completely restructured, with the gorgeous pads and melodic bass from Madoka intertwined with the signature vocal and synth elements from Sasha. The two tracks continue to build together, climaxing with the main groove of 'Artificial Heart,' taking the listener to the electrifying peak of this brilliant mix.
