Johan Gielen Presents Airscape “Pacific Melody” (Kryder’s Balearic Breaks Mix)
Airscape’s “Pacific Melody” is one of those genre classics that, either by luck or judgement escaped re-release overload. For its first official outing in many a moon, Johan Gielen’s turned the keys over to English producer Kryder. With reworks of Chicane’s “Saltwater” and “Offshore”, Solarstone’s “When I Dream” and York’s “On The Beach” already under his belt, it’s fair to say he has a knack for Balearic.
For “Pacific Melody” , Kryder’s opened the artistic lens that bit wider to create a remix with touchstones that imaginatively reach both pre-and-post Johan’s original. In terms of its title, “Balearic Breaks Mix” captures much of its nature, as Kryder wafts that Med essence, while using powerful 4/4 kicks to amp its breaks. Yearning sub-melodies, feelgood Italo-house piano and the transportive power of ‘Pacific Melody’s halcyon vocal cry all ensure its hot-season.
