When Hybrid released Disappear Here a few months ago, it fell slightly below my expecatations. It’s a great album to listen to at home with wonderful, rich orchestrals, but it didn’t have dancefloor or live performance stand-out in my view. So it’s great to see this latest batch of remixes of the title track, disappear here.
Disappear Here – Trance remixes
Maor Levi – this is the best trance remix and probably my favourite all together tance treatment.
Andy Moor has done two mixes, the ecomix and a dub, and while good, neither bkows my socks off. The Dub has no vocal, and the ecomix cheeses it up a bit too much, but only a little bit. Although I’d love to see what it would do to a dancefloor; good things I think.
Disappear Here – Progressive mixes
Hybrid Soundsystem. Most Hybrid stuff, Disappear Here included is made for progressive house and breaks lovers, so it’s no surpruse this is where the tune works best. It’s full of classic hybrid twists and details. A slight air of menace in the riff, great production and an awesome breakdown.
Antix Mix. Weaker of the prog remixes for me, but still very listenable. I’m just not sure about the vocal snippets.
Disappear Here – Breaks
Losers remix. Losers remix really doesn’t cut it for me; far too down tempo and a bit slow for the first two mins before it gets going properly. When it does get going it’s messy and a bit rough around the edges.
Orchestral Armchair Version. This very downtempo version appeared on a few of the early album lauches and really demonstrates what Hybrid do best; epic orchestrals, with great crossover appeal.
