melanie c - i turn to you (hex hector dub)

the main mix of this became the defacto radio mix on most stations and i believe the video also used it and for all right too. hex hector and his co-producer & engineer dezrok nailed it with this one and it's a stunning piece of epic trance hitting all the right spots.

this was at a time as i've mentioned before when hex hector started doing trancier remixes that sounded more like the uk than his native new york. and it shows more in the dub mix where he reshaped the track to impact more and get a bigger & more epic outcome.

right from the beginning of the track it starts to build up and it shapes up for an intense ride with a combination of dezroks synthwork, a massive use of stabs; both synth-hits and orchestral pieces. and when it finally hits the break you are treated with the familiar melodic pieces and it then rebuilds really well.

i quite like to play this one with other epic trance as it's a really good piece of music and does it job well, although the version i play shortens the breakdown a smidge and takes out the small break near the end. but that's just my preferences. bang this one out

just realised that this is the third entry i do about a former spice girl but chances of writing about scary or posh is slim and none. i mean i am probably going to do another mention that dame dash signed victoria beckham to roc-a-fella after naomi campbell persuaded dame to get beckham to do some modelling for roc-a-wear. but since i don't do completely negative posts on this blog i'm not going to talk about the other two spice girls solo career.
