keoki - veronica (deepsky's hot auntie remix)

as mentioned before i sometimes tend to be focused on some artist on the strength of one song and for this one wasn't even none of the parties involved in this song. it was actually evolution and i was really into taylor & hope dawson's remix of keoki's "crash" (which was engineered/produced by evolution). after digging for other tracks on keoki's albums & remix albums i found this one.

the original is a decent track and can be described as acid breaks but less dramatic than say fatboy slim's "everybody needs a 303". it has some nice sounds but i don't really see it's purpose in a mix and keoki's vocals really brings the track down. when deepsky got their hands on the source material the outcome was much in line with their material, top notch subdued trance that doesn't fanny around.

it works with a lowslung bassline and the rhythm has variety in it's percussion grooves but it's subtle. since the track lacks a big melodic element it is all rhythm and it delivers well. there is an acid womp that is loop during the tailend of the that is reminiscent of the one in daft punk's "burnin'" but that's about it. i've played this in countless sets and it's the kind of trance that is perfect for buildups or keeping the pace going.
